TESTING OF HYPOTHESES IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

H₁:  There is a significant relationship between reward and employees ability to perform. The data collected were analyzed and calculated using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient.

Applying the Decision Rule:

Reject H_O and accept H_1, if calculated value is greater than the critical table value. Here after testing the hypothesis, the result showed that the calculated value ‘r’ = 0.334, whereas critical table value = 0.622 at 0.005 (95%) confidence level using 6 degree of freedom ( n-2).

Decision:

Since the calculated value (0.334) is less than the critical table value (0.622), we accept null hypothesis and reject alternative hypothesis H₁ and concluded that there is no significant relationship between reward and employees’ performance.

H₀²: There is a significant relationship between reward and labour turn over. The data collected were analyzed and calculated using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient.

Applying the Decision Rule

Reject H_O and accept H_1, if calculated value is greater than the critical table value. Here after testing the hypothesis, the result revealed that the calculated value ‘r’ = 0.626, whereas critical table value = 0.622 at 0.005 (95%) confidence level using 6 degree of freedom ( n-2).

Decision

Since 0.626 is greater than 0.622, we reject null hypothesis H_O and accept the alternative hypothesis H₁ and conclude that there is a relationship between reward and labour turn-over.

H_O³_: There is significant relationship between forms of reward and employees performance.  The data collected were analyzed and calculated using the Pearson Product moment Correlation Co-efficient.

Applying the Decision Rule

Reject H_O and accept H_1, if calculated value is greater than the critical table value.  The result showed that the calculated value ‘r’ = 0.25, whereas critical table value = 0.622 at 0.005 (95%) confidence level using 6 degree of freedom ( n-2).

Decision

Since the calculated value  = 0.25 is less than the table value = 0.622, we accept null hypothesis H_O and reject the alternative hypothesis H₁ and conclude that there is no significant  relationship between reward and job design (Participation practices).
