In the data set given to you, male is coded as 1 as female as 2, and age is recorded as a numeric value. Items

Items WE1 through WE9 measure work engagement - extent to which employees are engaged in their work

Items JT1 through JT4 measure job tension - extent to which job is stressful

Items CS1 through CS5 measure career satisfaction - extent to which one is satisfied with one's career

Items PIM1 through PIM 3 measure perceptions of upward mobility

Items PSS1 through PSS8 measure perceptions of support from supervisor.

Questions

a.Compute the reliability of the scale used to measure job tension? Does dropping any item increase scale reliability? Explain? (10 points)

Cronback alpha is 0.-352, so the reliability is unacceptable. Dropping item doesn't increase scale reliability because it increases with more items or more inter-items.

b.Conduct a factor analysis of items used to measure work engagement - how many factors are there and how much scale variance do they explain? Name the factors and make a factor score by sex table (15 points)

There are total of 2 factors and it explained 70.185% of variance. It's factor 1 and 2.
