QWL
Satisfaction at Work: QWL (quality of working life)
8 criteria (pay, autonomy, promotion, life promotion, belonging, privacy, relevance)
5 point Likert rating scale
Used to assess feelings employees have towards jobs, colleagues, and companies informing how these feelings affect organisational growth and profitability.
Quite complex language used (e.g. remuneration, salubrity, polyvalence)
situational aspects of an individual’s job rather than individual factors such as personality and self-esteem, etc.
fOrced-choice
The JDI and the QWL scale are forms of psychometric tests, which have a number of strengths: allow managers to have a greater insight into the motivations, traits and characteristics, the use of a standardised and objective measure and they are also simple to use and allow for a greater distribution with little cost.
Test for Validity
Concurrent validity: up to date
Construct Validity: testing the construct it’s supposed to test
For all designs:
Aims and hypotheses
Procedure
Sample
Sampling Technique
How the plan makes the study valid
How the plan makes the study reliable
Types of data, analysis of data, use of descriptive statistics
design an experiment
Experiments:
Type of experiment
IV and DV
Controls/ standardisation
Choice of experimental design (matched pairs, independent measures, repeated measures…)
Counterbalancing, random allocation…
Location (for field experiments)
Longitudinal Studies
Longitudinal Studies including experiments without a longitudinal design:
tests/tasks
Scoring
frequency/interval
Re-contacting of participants (for repeated testing)
controls/standardisation
Observations
Overt/Covert
Participant/Non-participant
Naturalistic/controlled
Structured (behavioural categories, event sampling, time sampling)/unstructured
Number of observers
(+inter-rater reliability test)
The reliability of observations: Test-retest reliability when an observation is repeated at a later date and the two sets of observations are compared, Inter-rater reliability where two observers observe the same behaviour independently. The data are compared and the level of agreement can be calculated using a correlation test.
