Case Study: ANOVA (Taken from Predictive HR Analytics, p. 216)

Learning Question: Do engagement levels differ among countries?

The one-way ANOVA test is a powerful method for testing the significance of the difference between sample means where more than two categorical conditions/groups are compared. It effectively tests the null hypothesis that all the samples are drawn from the same population and that there is no difference between them. The data set used is ‘Chapter 6 Turnover team DATA.x’ and the data variables include:

• Team identifier (unique team number).
• Team size (number of people in the team). 
• Team turnover 2014 (separation rate between 0 and 1).
• Country (1 = UK; 2 = United States; 3 = Canada; 4 = Spain).
• SURVEY: ENGAGEMENT items COMBO (composite engagement percentage across the team).
• SURVEY: TeamLeader Rating (composite team leader percentage across the team).
• SURVEY: CSR rating (composite corporate social responsibility percentage across the team).
• SURVEY: Drive for Performance (composite percentage team score on perceived ‘Drive for performance’ percentage).
• SURVEY: Performance, Development and Reward (composite percentage team score on perceived fairness of performance, development and reward across the team).
• SURVEY: Work–Life Balance (composite percentage team score on perceived work–life balance across the team).

Here we are going to explore the engagement differences between the four countries in the data set (the UK, United States, Canada and Spain). The data set includes 2,910 employees employed across four countries organized in 212 teams. We have team-level engagement survey data provided by our external survey company; for each team we have an average positive response score from a 2013 engagement survey that measured scales of engagement.

Following the Excel guide starting on p. 385 (Levene et al., 2021), run a One-Way ANOVA and the Tukey-Kramer procedure to answer, are there country differences in team engagement?  

Deliverables:

1. Using the excel worksheet, perform an ANOVA with the Tukey Kramer analysis. I have given the formula for conducting an ANOVA on work life balance. You will need to adjust the formula to analyze engagement. You will also need to fill in the critical range of the Q statistic using Table E.7.
2. Then, write up a sample paragraph (5-10 sentences) to the senior management stating the null and alternate hypotheses, explaining your method, providing your findings, and suggesting 2-3 organizational policies or practices based on the results and relevant literature.

X X1) Open a word document and type the six soft skills in a column in the left margin [communication, enthusiasm and attitude, teamwork, networking, problem-solving and critical thinking, and professionalism]

For example:

Soft Skills Checklist

#1 – COMMUNICATION

X X2) Categorize each of the points from the article under the soft skill it applies to. (NOTE: Some of these points will fit under more than one soft skill category.)

Example: One point from the article is "Behave professionally". This would go under the soft skill of 'Professionalism"

#6 - PROFESSIONALISM

1-Behave professionally – know when to stop joking, wasting time fooling around.

X X3) Then, add your own important point/s from your own experiences.

Example: One point from the article is "Behave professionally". This would go under the soft skill of 'Professionalism"

#6 - PROFESSIONALISM

1-Behave professionally – know when to stop joking, wasting time fooling around.

If you are joking or not, it is important not to roll your eyes or show your co-workers and boss any negative body language.

X X4) Also, create and list a question that pertains to each soft skill.

Example: One point from the article is "Behave professionally". This would go under the soft skill of 'Professionalism"

#6 - PROFESSIONALISM

1-Behave professionally – know when to stop joking, wasting time fooling around.

If you are joking or not, it is important not to roll your eyes or show your co-workers and boss any negative body language.

Question: How do I show professionalism to my supervisor, co-workers, and customers?

X X

Use the Soft Skills checklist you created to evaluate your workplace skills.

X X 5) What skills do I need to improve on?

XXX6) What skills am I good at already?

X X 7) How will I practice my soft skills? Create and explain a plan of action that you will take to practice each of the learned soft skills. (minimum 3 sentences)

Getting User Input and Concatenation

The input() function

Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)

1. Suppose you want to design and build a house. How would you communicate your design plans with the construction crew that would work on the house? 

2. Cells build large, complicated molecules such as proteins. What do you think cells use as their “design plans” for proteins?

Predict: How will the change to the sequence of nucleotides in a DNA segment affect the mRNA transcribed from the DNA?

3. Observe: Place the next two tRNA molecules on the mRNA strand. What happens?

As each tRNA molecule binds to the mRNA, the ribosome joins the amino acid carried by the tRNA to the growing amino acid chain.

4. Describe: UAG (as well as UAA and UGA) is an example of a stop codon. Molecules called release factors bind to stop codons. Place the release factor on the mRNA molecule.

What happens?

6. Summarize: Describe the processes of transcription and translation in your own words, based on what you have observed in the Gizmo.

Transcription:

Translation:

Infer: Why do you think stop and start codon signals are necessary for protein synthesis?

Summarize: How do genes determine the traits of an organism? Explain in detail.

Extend your thinking: Sometimes errors occur during transcription or translation. Examine the codon chart on the previous page. Notice that each amino acid is coded for by several different codons. For example, alanine is coded for by GCU, GCC, GCA, and GCG.

How might this offset transcription or translation errors?

• Think and discuss: Consider the two following statements:

• The theory of evolution states that all living things had a single common ancestor.

• The translation between mRNA and amino acids is the same for all living things. (For example, the mRNA codon CAG codes for glutamine in all living things.)

Does the second statement support the theory of evolution? Explain why or why not.

If possible, discuss your answer with your teacher and classmates.

6. Predict: How would a change to the sequence of nucleotides in a DNA segment affect the mRNA transcribed from the DNA?
