   Question

   A management consultant was interested in gauging the success of different motivation-enhancing practices on employees. She had two groups of employees who underwent different types of practices: a group team-building exercise and a confidence-building meeting.

   After the motivational practice, participants were asked to endorse eight statements relating to their motivation (on a five-point Likert scale from 1 = disagree to 5 = agree): (1) I live for succeeding in my job,
   (2) I look forward to work when I get up in the morning,
   (3) I do not like missing days through illness,
   (4) I want to work hard to gain a promotion,
   (5) I am going to be more successful this year than last,
   (6) I am in this job to pay the bills,
   (7) People who work harder than me irritate me,
   (8) I often look on the internet for other jobs.

   To ascertain whether the motivational practices had an effect on the responses, the management consultant had to employ a MANOVA with [–I–] dependent variables and a factor with [–II–] categories. Give always a number as a response!

   
   
   1. TRUE: I. 8 II. 2
   2. FALSE: I. 2 II. 8
   3. FALSE: I. 7 II. 2
   4. FALSE: I. 2 II. 7
   
   

   Solution

   Participants were asked to endorse eight statements relating to their motivation. Therefore, there are 8 dependent variables. There are 2 groups of employees: a group team-building exercise and a confidence-building meeting. Therefore, the factor has 2 categories.

   
   
   1. True
   2. False
   3. False
   4. False
