Unit 1 Individual Project
Deliverable Length: 3 pages
Details: In each of the assignments in this course, you will
be dealing with the following scenario: American Intellectual Union
(AIU) has assembled a team of researchers in the United States and
around the world to study job satisfaction. Congratulations, you
have been selected to participate in this massive global
undertaking.
The study will require that you examine data, analyze the
results, and share the results with groups of other researchers.
Job satisfaction is important to companies large and small, and
understanding it provides managers with insights into human
behavior that can be used to strengthen the company's botXXXXX
XXXXXne.
The data set for the study is a sample of a survey conducted
on the population of the American Intellectual Union (AIU). It is
available via the following link: Excel 2007 DataSet with DataSet
Key which contains the following nine sections of data that will be
used throughout our course:
◦Gender
◦Age
◦Department
◦Position
◦Tenure
◦Overall Job Satisfaction
◦Intrinsic Job Satisfaction—Satisfaction with the actual
performance of the job
◦Extrinsic Job Satisfaction—external to the job, for example,
office location, your work colleagues, your own office
(cubicle/hard walled office, etc),
◦Benefits—Health insurance, pension plan, vacation, sick
days, etc.
In the first assignment you are to complete the following:
•You will need to examine two of the nine sections of data:
◦one section of qualitative data (choose either Gender or
Position)
◦one section of quantitative data (choose either Intrinsic or
Extrinsic)
•Each section should include all data points listed in the
column for the variable. The requirements include:
1.Identify the data you selected.
2.Explain why the data was selected.
3.Explain what was learned by examining these sets of data.
4.Your analysis should include using Microsoft Excel to
obtain information about the data through the use of three measures
of central tendency (mean, median, mode).
5.Your analysis should also include the use of two measures
of variability (standard deviation and variance). Some measures are
appropriate for qualitative data, and some are appropriate for
quantitative data.
6.If a measure is not applicable, then explain why.
7.You will have to also provide one chart/graph for each of
the results of the two processed sections of data (2 total), such
as a pie or bar chart or a histogram. (A table is not a
chart/graph.) Ensure that you label the chart/graph clearly.
8.You will then need to discuss what you additionally learned
from the results of this process.
9.Explain why charts/graphs are important in conveying
information in a visual format and why standard deviation and
variation are important.
You will need to combine all of the items above into one
comprehensive report. This report must be completed in Microsoft
Word and should contain:
