Job Satisfaction is important to companies large and small and understanding it provides managers with insights into human behavior that can be used to strengthen the company's bottom line.

In this assignment:

You will need to examine one of eight sections of data from the provided Unit 1 data set (you are welcome to select a section of data that you are most interested in). Use thirty data points / scores is a good average to use when selecting your data. You will then need to list the data you are examining in a MS Word document or MS Excel spreadsheet (if a MS Excel spreadsheet is ever used, you are welcome to copy and paste your work into a MS Word document, which could make explanations of your steps easier to discuss). After organizing your data, it will be necessary to write up a professional report. The report should discuss why the data was selected and what was eventually learned by examining this set of data. When examining your data, you will want to use basic statistical tools to summarize the data. You may have to provide the mean, median, mode, variance and standard deviations for the raw data you selected. If a measure is not applicable, then explain why. You will have to also provide 1 chart/graph. For example, you may want to graph gender information if you selected this as your section. Ensure that you label the chart/graph clearly. Then combine all of the items above into one comprehensive report which summarizes your findings. This report must be done in Microsoft Word and should contain,

An Introduction
The data selected
Discussion (of what was learned by examining your selected data set).
Summary (what can be learned / taken away from this information).
Label each section very clearly and keep in mind that based on the scenario of this assignment, this is a report that you will be presenting and hence it should be well written and should flow well.
