5. Evaluate the reliability and validity of the work engagement scale by performing a reliability analysis (Cronbach’s alpha) and a factor analysis (with principal components). Reliability Statistics Cronbach's Alpha N of Items .953 9 KMO and Bartlett's Test Kaiser- Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy 0.913 Bartlett's Test of Sphericity Approx. Chi- Square 1464.293 df 36 Sig. 0 Cronbach alpha values for work engagement shows a very high significant value for 9 items for work engagement. Data is considered to be reliable if its value is greater than 0.5. From the analysis it can be seen that Cronbach alpha value for work engagement stands to be 0.953. It indicates that is highly reliable to be undertaken for the research. Further, in order to test the validity of the data KMO and Bartlett's Test Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin has been applied by the researcher. Even this value must be greater than 0.5 and from the analysis it can be said that measure of sampling adequacy is greater than 0.913. This shows that validity with respect to data is also high considering work engagement.

7. I feel happy when I am working intensely. .864 I am immersed in my work. .851 I get carried away when I am working. .750 Work engagement principle components have been used for drawing out the factor analysis. Value drawn from the analysis shows that work engagement variables has got very high correlation ship between each other. This indicates that all the variables selected represent work engagement to be the factor.

Use the variables work engagement, work pressure, innovation, personal initiative, and distributive fairness. Scale were drawn using one of the function available in SPSS as compute variable and have been further used by researcher for drawing out correlation and regression. For this purpose variable such as work engagement, work pressure, innovation, personal initiative, and distributive fairness has been used which included number of variables.

8. for this variable these variables were clubbed to form a single factor detailing all variables. This has been done by calculating arithmetic mean values between these variables. Determine the correlations among these variables. Work Work Pressur e Personal Initiativ e Engagemen t Innovatio n Distributiv e Fairness Work Engagemen t Pearson Correlatio n 1 Work Pressure Pearson Correlatio n -.046 1 .288** Innovation Pearson Correlatio n .134 1 .469** .434** Personal Initiative Pearson Correlatio n .143 1 .b .b .b .b .b Distributive Fairness Pearson Correlatio n **. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). From the above correlation ship table it can be said that there is high correlation between work engagement and personal initiative. Analysis shows that if employee is going to carry out personal initiative within the business then they will be able to improve work engagement. Even personal initiative is highly correlated with innovation. This shows that it is important for employee to carry out personal initiative in the organization, so that they are able to boost up innovation in the business.

9. Perform a regression analysis. Normally you would also add control variables in a regression but you are not required to do that in this assignment. In this regression, you will analyze a direct effect. Select from the following three hypotheses one hypothesis that you aim to study: H1: Work pressure is negatively related to work engagement Adjusted R Square Std.

10. Work Pressure -.064 .113 -.046 -.567 .572 From the above regression analysis it is clear that work pressure is negatively related to work engagement. Even Coefficient value (-0.64) clearly indicates that these two variables has got negative relationship. Further, it can be said that if work pressure changes from 1 unit then it is going to affect work engagement of an employee in the business by -0.064.
