Question

The vice-president of administration at your company wonders whether employees are taking adequate amounts of vacation time. Employee burnout is a concern. Research suggests that an employee taking less than 1.4 weeks of vacation annually is very likely to experience burnout. You are asked to analyze the employee vacation data and conduct a hypothesis test with the following results: t = 2.93 p = 0.0084 What factors should the vice-president consider in determining the presence of employee burnout Do employees take more than 1.4 weeks of vacation What reasons should the vice-president provide to the president to justify the recommendation on employee burnout Based on the data, is the presence of employee burnout an issue that may negatively impact the company

Explanation / Answer

Set up hypothesis as

H0: average burnout of less than 1.4 weeks = average of more than 1.4 weeks

Ha: Burnout 1 < burnout 2

(left tailed test)

As p value = 0.0084<0.01

reject null hypothesis at 1% level

Hence less than 1.4 weeks vacation is not having adequate vacation.

This will create montony and lethargy in the minds of workers and production may be affected.

Hence vice president should recommend for more weeks vacation
