• Work Family Conflict (WFC; 1Disagree-7Agree): Work getting in the way of your family life.
• Counterproductive Work Behavior to Supervisor (CWB-S; 1Disagree-7Agree): Being disruptive or mean/rude toward your supervisor.
1.) Create a research model in the space below that depicts the relationship (X à Y) between “WFC” and “CWB-S”. Assume all variables are self-reports captured on Likert scales. (2 pts)
a. Include a plus (+) or minus (-) symbol to indicate whether the relationship is positive or negative.
X:
Y:
2.) Why could WFC be related to CWB-S? Use logic and defend your response, no need to search it for the purposes of this excercise. (3 pts)
3.) Consider the following descriptive statistics output. (5 pts total)
a. What is the frequency of participants in this sample that selected “Yes” to having children?
b. What do the range, mean, and standard deviation each tell us about this sample’s work family conflict scores reported on a 1-7 scale?
Range:
Mean:
Standard Deviation:
c. What do the range, mean, and standard deviation each tell us about this sample’s CWB-S scores reported on a 1-7 scale?
Range:
Mean:
Standard Deviation:
4.) Suppose we ran a Pearson correlation (r) between WFC and CWB-S to describe their relationship and got the following output. (5 pts)
a. Is the relationship positive or negative?
b. What is the size/strength of the relationship?
c. Is the relationship significant and meaningful beyond chance alone (p-value less than. 05)?
5.) Suppose that after running the Pearson correlation we are interested in more than whether WFC and CWB-S are simply related. Thus, we test whether WFC predicts CWB-S using simple OLS regression and get the following output. (5 pts)
a. Interpret the intercept/constant (a) for this output.
b. Interpret the regression coefficient/slope (b).
c. Is the relationship significant and meaningful beyond chance alone (p-value less than. 05)?
d. How much variance in CWB-S is explained by WFC alone?
