d) Nature of relationship between the two variables


There is a negative and moderate relationship between tenure and
commitment.

viii. decision and conclusion


Since (|-1.962|) < (2.896)

Fail to reject
There is no significant negative relationship between tenure and commitment at = 0.01 level of significance.
Question 3

Independent variable : Attitude


Dependent variable : Participation
a. SPSS Pearson Correlation Results

Attitude 0.582 0.000

b. Nature of Relationship
There is a positive and moderate relationship between attitude and participation.

c. 5 Steps Hypothesis Test Procedure


i. Hypothesis
: =0
: ≠0
ii. Set the alpha ( )
The alpha ( ) value is 0.05 (95% level of confidence).

iii. Test Statistics


Based on SPSS Correlation metric table, = 0.582 and
- = 0.000.

iv. Decision
Since− (0.000) < (0.05)
Reject

v. Conclusion
There is significant relationship between attitude and participation at = 0.05 level of significance.

d. APA Reporting

Results of the Pearson correlation indicated that there was a positive and moderate
relationship between attitude and participation and the relationship/correlation was
significant, (303) = .582, p < .05.
