Question

Daenerys Stormborn, an HR professional who works for Seven Kingdoms Inc., believes that job satisfaction is the most important predictor of employee job performance. To test this belief, she collects data from the 2017 performance records of a random sample of 100 employees. In the spring of 2018, she asks this same group of 100 employees to complete a job satisfaction survey and then performs a series of statistical tests aimed at providing evidence for a causal relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. Assume that her results fail to indicate a statistically significant relationship between these two variables. How many conditions for establishing causality are met by her study?

Answer 1

There is only 1 condition for establishing causality is met which is nonspuriousness because there can be more reasons for job performance other than job satisfaction.

The other conditions covariation and temporal precedence are not met because the data is collected for different times and the independent variable’s data(job satisfaction) is selected after selecting the dependent variable’s data(job performance)

Hence the correct option is 1.

Good luck with your studies!!!
