Vince Lombardi once asked “If it doesn 't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?” Scoring points is a major factor in winning a football game, but stopping the opposing team from scoring helps too. So you might simply ask, just how important is scoring points versus the amount of points that a team allows to be scored on them? Here the correlation between three variables will be examined to come to a consensus of whether the points scored or points allowed correlates with the…

Company Value: Job Performance: Citizenship and Task Behavior Company value is highly correlated, with statistical significance, to citizenship behavior. This supports our hypothesis that states, “If employees feel connected, and apart, of their company’s culture they are more likely to be aligned with organizations mission and values.” Employees who feel connected to their organization often go above and beyond in their job tasks, and exceed goals set by their organization. These employees…

The value of the correlation coefficient is found to be insignificant at 5 per cent level. Secondly, the correlation between ROI and QR is 0.90 which is also found to be insignificant at 5 per cent level. It reveals that there is no correlation between the two variables. It is evident from these two ratios that the lower the company's margin of safety to the short term creditors, the greater is the profitability of the concern. Thirdly, the correlation coefficient between ROI and WCR is…

Correlation method is defined as “A research method used to examine relationships between variables, which are expressed in the form of a statistical measure called a correlation…

Results: At the start of the experiment, the initial flow rate was established as 20 ml min-1. This means that there is a steady flow of fluid or blood in your body (in this case, water) at a rate of 20ml min-1. In order to find the final concentration of the Eosin (2,5 mg ml-1) in the “blood” after 60 minutes a calibration curve had to be created by making up seven different solutions of eosin (11,25 μg ml-1) and water to compare it against their absorbance that was calculated in a…

Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) UWES was developed by Schaufeli and his colleagues (Schaufeli et al., 2002). Schaufeli was working in the occupational health psychology unit at Utrecht University. He argued that work engagement is the assumed opposite of burnout (Schaufeli et al., 2002). UWES is closely related to the Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) (C. Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1996; Christina Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1986). The Maslach-Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) was…
