I need help with data analysis for a research proposal for class?

I just need to use simple data analysis for my proposal but I'm bad at stats. I'm using a likert scale survey instrument. The question I'm trying to answer is: what level of burnout do employees at a certain job report.

I need help with data analysis for a research proposal for class?
The questionnaire that you are going to use for data collection should, at least, contain the following:





1. Job title - measured nominally ( to get infromation about the employee's job)


2. Items on burnout - measured using Likert-scale (use standard questions developed by previous researchers, if available)





Now, for the analysis part:





1. If you are interested in the differences of burnout between different jobs, use one-way ANOVA


2. You may also be interested in the differences of burnout between gender/age etc (question on these should be included in the questionnaire)


3. Correlations can also be used in the analysis, e.g age and burnout; job level and burnout.


Employee access?

I'd like to get my online survey seen by a large number of corporate employees in various organizations around the country. Anyone have any ideas they have seen work to do this?

What do you do with a pain in the *** co-worker?

I work with an older woman who is lazy and very uncomfortable to work with. She hardly does any work and spends most of the day sitting around eating or talking. She is always watching everyone to make sure things are being done right, but as soon as someone "slips-up" even if it's something small she reports it. The scary thing is, that she doesn't even take the time to appoach the person with her concerns instead she just goes straight to the boss. Just reciently two people got fired because of her, so everyday everyone has to walk on eggshells to make sure they do things right so they don't get called into the bosses office to get couseled (or fired). Well, I've had enough and it's time that she get's a taste if her own medicine, but I'm not sure what to do. What do you suggest?? I was thinking of a survey be handed out to all employees to petition her out. Do you have any ideas?

What do you do with a pain in the *** co-worker?
In every work environment you will always find that one person who just comes to work to make evryone else's life a living hell. I think it would be best if you did the petition among the employees and then a group of you go into the boss and dicuss the situation. Tell him/her that all the other employees are extremely uneasy because of this one person who is not really contributing to the amount of production. Her work attitude is poor and she needs to change that in order for everyone to be the best at their job. Ensure that you guys point out that she is constantly watching you and its a very stressful and uncomfortable situation which you hope can be rectified in the quickest possible time.





The end result either she eases up on the monitoring of the employees or she gets the pink slip - Its a win/win situation.
Reply:Record everyone talking about how bad a coworker she is and set her up!!
Reply:Do your job and the way to throw her under the bus will happen. Don't do the petition thing. That's so junior-high.
Reply:Seriously, you may need a new job. Toxic is right! If management actually likes a snitch, then that's not good management. They are encouraging this toxic environment.


If you ahppen to be in a position where another job seems impossible (like you're rural, need a car pool to be able to make ends meet, hey, it happens, you know), then probably the second person's attitude is correct.


But remember to have mercy and compassion on such people- not by interacting, just by soothing your own mind with peace and forgiveness.


This person is harder on herslef than she is on anyone else. That's the way it is with those types.


Pray for her, or wish her well, whatever.


But if you ever have to turn it around on her, just remember to ahve a few things written down.


Write them down now, then forget it.


Protect yourself now, and let it go.
Reply:I suggest you don't get within 10 feet of this woman. Do NOT fight fire with fire. Just review your job description COMPLETELY and be sure to stick to the organisation's Standard Operational Procedures. Also be sure that you're always on time. Don't fuel her fire...it will soon burn out...Pay her no heed...do not keep her company. She can be classified as a 'toxic' person and we need to keep those out of our lives.


It would also help a great deal to redirect your energy from worrying about her to doing a great job...Focus also on the opposites of what she's brings to the workplace...that way, she will indeed fade away and the workplace will improve.

Three weeks into job, made a mistake, what should I do?

I started working in a human resources dept. at a university. One of the first project I was part of was an employee survey. I went from being part of the development to the collection of data and its presentation. We used an online service to host the survey that was extremely cumbersome to use and capture the data we were looking for. I got little or no direction from the higher ups, and would get the data after each request. In doing the final reports, I omitted a department. Its data ended going under a small department and the rest in the undetermined group. My boss asked me where the XYZ department was, and it wasnt there. So I quickly got the information and gave it to my boss. When I sent her the info, she sent an email saying she wanted to me with me and discuss this and other issues she had. When I went to meet her she went balistic. She asked me to leave and go home and think about if I wanted to work there. Things went from very pleasant to hell. SHould I stay or go?

Three weeks into job, made a mistake, what should I do?
Hey it sounds like an innocent mistake. Take responsibility for your mistake, dont make excuses, confront your boss in an action plan way and move on. You never know this might be the mistake that makes your career and teaches you how to work for that school. Now if you don't like the job alraedy then thats a different story!
Reply:It is not your fault they did not properly train you. From the looks of the team leader, she is very quick to judge. If this job is important to you, I suggest stay and state why this issue occured. Try not to point fingers, but state what happened and what you will do different in the future. Give her the pressure of deciding, because you are new employee to the team.
Reply:kill the boss ,resign immediately and shift to Iraq.
Reply:Its human to make mistakes. Let your boss knows that you've learned from this mistake and ensure her there won't be a repeat.
Reply:I think its unfortunate that she went ballistic on you and I wouldn't want a boss like that. You are new, untrained, and made an honest mistake. A good supervisor would be a little more understanding and make sure you get the proper guidance next time. The fault really is as much hers as it is yours. Whether you want to continue working there is up to you but you've now been black marked and it will be hard to redeem yourself. If you have the financial resources, I would leave, but if not, stay on but start looking for something better.
Reply:Well staying might beat you up emotionally and so the best for you may be to start elsewhere. Keep in mind that if you go looking for work somewhere else that this boss of yours may be called for a recommendation and she may recommend that you shouldn't be hired for the simple reason of her experience with how you performed whilst working for her. If you stay on, you'll have to work hard and prove yourself. If you're a sucker for punishment you'll stay and make her see how well you actually work in your expertise. You've made a mistake, try not to make it again. But forgive yourself in the meantime and think really hard about what you're finally going to do
Reply:Even though you have had a bad experience you can learn from it. One way to give the responsibility back to your boss is to ask her what advice she can give you in this situation. Make her think about how to resolve the issues. This will also show her that you're willing to listen and learn. If you can stick with it until you can find another position that would be best. When you are out interviewing make sure to ask the person you would be reporting to what kind of a boss they are and how they are going to handle it when a mistake is made. If you have the opportunity to talk to people who also report to the person make sure you ask them as well.
Reply:I would stay , just so I could get a chance to stick it up the people who stuffed me around , do a bit of study of where you went wrong , grab all the info on the place , and build your contacts of people to call upon for info , and become very good , then if you feel so inclined to pull the pin , then do it then , but until then , dont go unless they sack you , and be more assertive back , think about your situation now , you really dont care from here on in , act it , by being assertive on being stuffed around back , they most likely will end up loving you for it. and will save you the buearocratic bullshit , they seem to of being handing you now
Reply:From your point of view was this your only mistake? Do you think the boss will allow you to improve and more on? Will you feel comfortable continuing to work there? There are many questions you need to answer for yourself to make a decision. How good a job do you view this as? Are you new to the job market? Will you easily be able to find employment elsewhere? GOOD LUCK
Reply:Stay for now but keep your eyes open for another job if one comes up. There is no point in making yourself unemployed just because your boss can't excuse an understandable mistake. Put yourself first. You only lose by making it a matter of principle.
