(SMWTs). SMWTs require that employees be trained in interpersonal skills such as listening, decision-making, and conflict resolution (Quulity Munagement Journul, Summer 1995).

Thc workers wcre divided into two groups: (1) those who reported positive spillover of work skills to family life and (2) those who did not report positive work spillover.The two groups were compared on a variety of job and demographic characteristics, several of which are shown in the table below. (All but the demographic characteristics were measured on a 7-point scale, ranging from 1 = "strongly disagrce" to 7 = "strongly agree"; thus, the larger the number, the more of the job characteristic indicated.) Fully interpret the result for each characteristic. Which job-related characteristics are most highly associated with positive work spillover?
