The Questionnaire Analysis

The most important part of the analysis on which the whole study depends is the importance, significance and reliability of the questions. The questions in the questionnaire need to be tested in order to test their significance and one-sample t-test was applied. This section 2 of the questionnaire contains information about the ethics and code of conduct analysis in the organization and their budgetary slack. The answers were mostly in the favor of the questions in this section and therefore the t-results also show that the questions were significant as their calculated values are far greater than the tabulated values and their level of significance is also very high i.e. less than 0.05. The results now showing that the answers of the questions given by the respondents for the code of ethics were concerned almost lie within one range and logically too their significance can be analyzed as no respondent therefore can deny the importance code of ethics in organizations and their budgetary slack.
