Executive summary
This report sought to answer the management concerns related to working hours for the
TechnoMart employees. The study sought to investigate whether there are differences in the job
satisfaction levels as well as the working hours for the the union employees and the non-union
employees working at the company. Another big head for the management of TechnoMart
company is related to the staff planning. The management believes that a number of staff would
be retiring and as such there is need to have plans to replace such employees who will be
retiring. They would also understand how to make promotions to the current employees. As part
of the last Enterprise Bargaining Agreement, the company made an agreement with the union’s
officials that they would be able to review the working hours for their employees. They felt that
employees should not overwork themselves. Based on the mentioned concerns we sought to find
the answers using a sample of 400 employees. The following are the key findings;
 It was established that the average working hours for the TechnoMart employes was
45.43 hours in a week
 There was no noticeable differences in the number of work hours for the union
employees and non-union employees
 In terms of occupation, there were significant variations established between the union
employees and non-union employees. Most the union employees were in the management
jobs while on the contrary most of the union employees were either as production
workers or laborers.
 Job satisfaction levels varied with big percentage of non-union employees (91%) feeling
satisfied as compared to the proportion the union employees who felt satisfied (81%).

 When it came to predicting the pre-tax income, the dummy variable for male was found
to the most outstanding predictor. The male employees tend to earn more as compared to
their female counterparts.
 There was evidence of loyalty among the union members. Results showed that on
average their length of stay at the company is exceeds the industrial length of 7.5 years.
This was true for all union employees and male union employees only. The female
employees however did not turn out to be significant.
 The average work hours for union members does not significantly exceed the
recommended 45 hours per week.
 The sample size of 400 was found to be ideal enough to warrant to good and reliable
results that can be generalized.
 Female employees significantly earn less as compared to the male employees.
