PSY-838 Quantitative Measures Data
To carry out a validation study, an I/O psychologist is
developing a regression equation from data collected from those
hired two years ago. Specifically, the I/O psychologist is
examining the relationship between extraversion, cognitive
skills, and communication ability on sales performance (the
dependent measure). The data are shown below.

To carry out a validation study, an I/O psychologist is
developing a regression equation from data collected from those
hired two years ago. Specifically, the I/O psychologist is
examining the relationship between extraversion, cognitive
skills, and communication ability on sales performance (the
dependent measure). The data are given in the resource
document "PSY 838 Quantitative Measures Data."
Currently, the same I/O psychologist must make a decision
about which two applicants to hire for newly-created sales
positions. There are 10 applicants for the two positions, who
completed quantitative measures on the same predictors above.
In this assignment, you will perform the multiple regression
analysis on the data from those hired two years ago. You will
then use that information to make decisions regarding which of
the current candidates should be hired.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion
of the assignment:
· SPSS (my school uses Version 21)
• Learners need to download the resource document "PSY 838

9. Quantitative Measures Data."
• Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the
assignments. It is recommended that learners review the rubric
prior to beginning the assignment in order to become familiar
with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful
completion of the assignment.
• Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their
writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the
Student Success Center.
• This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly
research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text
citation from each source be included.
Directions:
Access the resource document "PSY 838 Quantitative Measures
Data" and perform multiple regression on these data.
1. Enter variables using the stepwise procedure.
2. Interpret the results and write the regression equation using
the following format:
Y = (b1 x X1) + (b2 x X2) + (b3 x X3) + a, where a is the
intercept, and the bs are regression coefficients.
In a statement of 200-250 words, describe what the data indicate
about employee performance and coaching needs. Include the
following in the statement:
1. A discussion of which of these employees may need coaching
and which are performing at acceptable levels.
2. An explanation of which principles of consulting and
coaching would most effectively be applied to improve
organizational performance based on this data. (4.3) Apply
principles of interpersonal and group consulting and coaching to
improve organizational performance.
State the regression equation you wrote above, and use the
equation computed and the data obtained from those hired two
years ago to make a decision about which two individuals
should be offered the current positions. Justify your decision in
a statement of 150-200 words.
