Question 1 Data solicited from a randomly selected sample were used to measure relationship between working environment and work commitment. EDA revealed the work commitment data did not meet the assumption of normality.

Question 2 A researcher is interested to know the relationship between travelling time to work and work performance among the workers. The normality test below will assist his research.

a. Lilliefors Significance Correction *. This is a lower bound of the true significance.

Question 3 A researcher is keen to know the relationship between frequency of time amount rest and work performance among the workers. The literature review illustrated that the frequent the rest , the better the performance. The normality test below will assist his research.

a. Lilliefors Significance Correction *. This is a lower bound of the true significance.

Question 4 A research is interested to determine relationship between stress (X) and work performance (Y) among support staff of a selected private company. From the previous literature, it is noted that the high stress employees performance are declining. Data were collected from a randomly selected sample. Question 5 Data solicited from a randomly selected sample were used to measure positive relationship between peer support and work commitment. EDA revealed the work commitment data did meet the assumption of normality. Question 6 A researcher strives to determine relationship between motivation (X) and satisfaction (Y). Data collected from a randomly selected sample is presented in the following table. The normality test below will assist his research.

Shapiro-Wilk Statistic .05 df 25 Sig. .005

a. Lilliefors Significance Correction *. This is a lower bound of the true significance.

Question 7 Review of literature reveals a negative relationship between tenure (X) and commitment (Y). Data collected from a randomly selected sample is presented in the following table. Assumption data did meet the assumption of normality.

Question 8 A researcher interested to determine relationship between motivation (X) an job comitmment (Y). Data collected from a randomly selected sample is presented in the following table.

Question 9 A researcher attempts to examine relationship between motivation (X) on satisfaction (Y). Data collected from a randomly selected sample.
