Organizational Feedback-Seeking Behavior RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Overview T

To accomplish the study's purpose, several hypotheses were formulated and tested. This chapter of the study presents the findings observed for the tests of all formulated research hypotheses.

Further, findings observed for descriptive statistical analyses conducted on subjects' demographic background data are also presented to provide a basic profile of the nature of the sample used in the study. Following the presentation of findings, results are discussed and interpreted in relation to the existing literature and to pertinent methodological considerations.

Results Observed For Descriptive Statistical Analyses

The first series of analyses conducted were descriptive. Specifically, measures of central tendency and variability were computed to determine the general demographic nature of the sample. In this regard, it can be noted that descriptive statistics indicated that of the Texas Home Health Organization employees (N=10) serving as subjects in the study by completing the research questionnaire, nine (90 percent) were female.

The ages of employees were found to vary a good deal with a low of 19 years and a high of 62 years. The median age was 33 years and the mean

significant correlations, it can be seen that job specialization for the sample was unrelated to income security. This means that the findings did not support the study's fifth research hypothesis. Income Security and Income Dependency (Test of Hypothesis 6) The study's sixth research hypothesis stated that income security (degree to which subjects felt that they needed to work) would be observed to be negatively related to income dependency (as measured by the degree to which subjects cited financial worries and the need for the financial income from this particular job). The pearson r correlation statistic used to test this hypothesis was not found to be significant (r=-.263; df = 8; p>.05). Thus, the sixth research hypothesis of the study was also not supported. Self-Confidence and Income Dependency (Test of Hypothesis 7) The seventh research hypothesis tested in the study's was a hypothesis predicting that the degree to which one felt financially dependent upon their job/had financial worries would be negatively related to self-confidence. In other words, the more a person felt confident in herself, the less dependent she would feel on the income from that particular job. However, the observed value of the pearso
