Instructions: Below is a correlation table summarizing the results of the study that looked at seven variables: All the variables in this study were measured on a scale of 1 to 5 ranging from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree with higher scores reflecting higher degrees of agreement and/or higher levels of the variable.

Information about the variables (see also p. 158-159 of the Edwards and Edwards textbook):

Manager Motivating Behaviors = Employees perceptions of the degree to which their managers motivate and encourage them.

Autonomy = The extent to which employees have the freedom and flexibility to choose how they complete their work.

Justice = The degree to which employees perceive fairness in the process of how their organizations resolve disputes and allocate resources.

Job Satisfaction = How satisfied employees are with their current job.

Intention to Quit = The extent to which employees intend to leave the job/organization.

Engagement = The extent to which employees are fully absorbed by and enthusiastic about their work.

Perceived Organizational Support = The degree to which employees believe that their organization cares about them and provides adequate support.

Correlations with a single * are significant at p < 0.05 and those with ** are significant at p < 0.01

1. Using information from the correlation matrix above, answer the following questions:
   1. What are the variables that are significantly correlated with engagement? In other words, what could potentially drive employee engagement?

For each variable that is significantly correlated with engagement, please explain the nature of the relationship (i.e. are they positively or negatively correlated and what that means).

2. Based on the correlations above, list the three strongest drivers of engagement. Based on your experiences at work and your readings in this course and outside, come up with the Logic for why these either positively or negative related to employee engagement.
