Do subordinates’ perceptions about wellbeing change from 2014 to 2019?
In this section, we have selected 8 similar questions filtered by participants so that we can have a look at what Trainees, Graduates, and APS think about wellbeing. We have performed correspondence analysis as well as one tailed Mann Whitney U test to extract these changes. Those questions are as below:
-
Considering your work and life priorities, how satisfied are you with the work-life balance in your current job?
-
I don't have unrealistic time pressures. (Tone has been reversed)
-
I have a choice in deciding how I do my work.
-
My immediate supervisor encourages me.
-
I receive the respect I deserve from my colleagues at work.
-
Relationships at work are not strained. (Tone has been reversed)
-
I am clear what my duties and responsibilities are.
-
Staff are consulted about change at work.
​
Assuming the independency of participants in both years the Mann Whitney test has been performed on each pair of questions and the hypothesis for each pair is as below:
H0: true location shift is equal or greater than 0. (Meaning perceptions about wellbeing in 2019 has not improved)
Ha: true location shift is less than 0. (Meaning perceptions about wellbeing in 2019 has improved)
​
After running the test we observe improvement in all of these areas by 2019.
Then chi-square test has been performed, and after confirming the existence of associations, Using correspondence analysis to compare profiles we can observe that it does confirm our previous Mann-Whitney findings. Profiles are shown in the table.
