Your report should include
tables, graphs, and brief written narratives explaining your results and their implications for the organization.
✅ Steps to Complete
1.
Describe the Demographics
· Create frequency tables for
gender, age, education, years with organization, and years with supervisor.
· Use bar charts or pie charts to visualize demographic distributions. Be sure to label categories and include percentages.
· In your narrative, explain what the organization can learn from the demographic makeup of its employees.
2.
Summarize Attitudes & Performance Variables
· Using your
computed variables (Supervisor Commitment, Organizational Commitment, Engagement, Performance):
· Calculate
mean, mode, median, minimum, and maximum.
· Insert a table summarizing these statistics.
· Create a bar chart of the
mean scores for each variable.
·
Note: Do not analyze the individual survey items (Q2, Q3, etc.). Use only the computed variables you created.
3.
Interpret the Results
· Compare the mean scores to the
scale midpoint (e.g., if the scale was 1–5, midpoint = 3).
· Calculate the
percentage of employees scoring “high” (those selecting
agree or
strongly agree on the scale).
· In your narrative, explain whether the results indicate strong or weak attitudes/engagement and discuss what that means for the organization.
4.
Examine the Distribution
· Create histograms for each computed variable.
· Identify whether each distribution is
normal or skewed.
· Explain what the distribution shape implies about employee attitudes and performance.
📄 Submission Instructions

Report: Write your findings in a Word document. Include your tables, graphs, and a brief interpretation for each step.
·
Evidence: Attach either your Excel analysis file or screenshots of your output as proof of your work.
👉 Your report should read as if you are
presenting results to executives: concise, professional, and focused on what the data means for the organization.
