Quantitative Analysis Report: Nonparametric Tests Assignment Instructions

You will take part in several data analysis assignments in which you will develop a report using tables and figures from the IBM SPSS® output file of your results.

Using the resources and readings provided, you will interpret these results and test the hypotheses and writeup these interpretations.

As doctoral students, your assignments are expected to follow the principles of high-quality scientific standards and promote knowledge and understanding in the field of public administration.

You should apply a rigorous and critical assessment of a body of theory and empirical research, articulating what is known about the phenomenon and ways to advance research about the topic under review.

Research syntheses should identify significant variables, a systematic and reproducible search strategy, and a clear framework for studies included in the larger analysis.

This assignment has two parts and uses the 2018 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (Federal Employee Survey 2018. sav). Load the data set into SPSS.

Address the following research question using a nonparametric Mann Whitney U test:

RQ 6: Is there a significant difference in the agreement as to whether the federal agency supervisor provides the employee with opportunities to demonstrate his or her leadership skills (Q43) based on the sex of the employee (DSEX)?

Address the following research question using a Kruskal Wallis H test:

RQ 7: Is there a significant difference in the agreement as to whether the federal agency supervisor provides the employee with opportunities to demonstrate his or her leadership skills (Q43) based on the education level of the employee (DEDUC)?
