ASSIGNMENT $4$ INSTRUCTIONS ASSIGNMENT $4$ INSTRUCTIONS

Part $1.$ Conduct a multiple regression analysis using the data

set provided, and copy $\frac{?}{?}$ past the results$/$ output tables to your

assignment submission.

Part $2$: Using the analysis results $($reported in the tables$),$

please answer the following:

How successful was the regression model overall at predicting

annual job performance evaluation scores? Please discuss each

of the relevant R$-$ values in the output to explain and support

your assessment.

According to the analysis results, which predictor variable$($s$)$

significantly influenced the performance scores? If more than

one variable was significant, what was the comparative

influence among those variables? In other words, was one

variable more influential on performance scores than others and

if so why do you think this was the case? Please refer to the

coefficient$($s$)$ values and P $-$values to frame your response.

Based on Q$1$ & Q$2$ what overall narrative do the analysis

results speak to$?$ In other words, what are the 'big picture'

conclusions that can be directly made from the analysis results

regarding how job performance scores are being influenced?

Based on the results of the regression analysis, what do you

feel could be the next step for HR to improve employee annual

job performance scores? Specifically, what projects or initiatives

could HR propose to improve performance scores?

job performance scores? Specifically, what projects or initiatives

could HR propose to improve performance scores? Scenario:

At the recent annual leadership retreat of an electrical component design and testing

company, the CFO raised concern that overall labor costs have been increasing. In

particular, she noted overtime expenditures within the engineering department had

increased, and wanted to know why so much overtime was having to be scheduled to

complete the work. The operations manager presented her reports and showed that there

were no supply or maintenance disruptions or major process adjustments, and that the

problems seemed to be with the productivity and quality of the project team deliverables

$($e$.$g$.$ QC data showed that increased rework was becoming necessary$).$ She also pointed out

that there had not been a significant increase in the number of projects in the queue over

the past $12$ months,

The discussion then turned to whether this was a personnel issue. The HR director said that

all team members have undergone extensive training and certification, and that there has

never been an issue with their work. She also said that there had been some restructuring

within the teams to make them more self$-$managing and agile due to the types of projects

being requested by clients; however, she also noted that part of the restructuring involved a

leadership training program that all team members participated in to prepare them on how

to be more effectively work together to manage the new team structure.

Several members of leadership openly discussed whether the issue had more to do with the

team members' attitude and less with their ability to do the work. They questioned if

moving to a more self$-$managing team structure was the right move, and if this had in some

way reduced their overall performance. Also, while key deliverables were ultimately being

met the inefficiencies were undercutting the margin.

The HR director responded by saying she had just recently received the annual performance

reviews for the employees working on the project teams, and she would review them

immediately. She also said she report back to leadership within $30$ days with her

findings and recommendations.

Framing the Problem:

Back at the office, the HR director pulled all of the re
