Question

Frank has just completed a study in which he gave a survey to each of 7,000 employees and their supervisors in a large bank. His results show that job satisfaction (as evaluated by employees) was positively and significantly correlated with task performance (as evaluated by supervisors). The correlation was .54. Frank says that his results prove that job satisfaction causes task performance. Is he correct

Answer 1

The declaration is mostly accurate or correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Task success can be induced by work satisfaction. But that could also be accurate the opposite way round, i.e. work success affects employee satisfaction.
• The inference reached here does not specify which incident seems to be the reason and which one is the trigger's consequence. A significant direct connection between the two can not be identified. Other than that, there could be other variables that may control the two variables.
