SPSS Analysis: Investigating Candidate Hiring Based on Mindfulness

This assignment presents an SPSS analysis focused on determining the relationship between mindfulness and the likelihood of hiring a young candidate. The analysis includes a crosstabulation of gender and hiring likelihood, along with correlation analyses to assess the impact of mindfulness on hiring decisions. The results indicate that the likelihood of hiring is related to gender, but not to mindfulness, as evidenced by a negative correlation and a significance level above 0.05. The assignment concludes that the null hypothesis, stating no significant relationship between mindfulness and hiring likelihood, is supported. References to relevant books and journals are also provided.

TASK 3
H0- there is not any significant relation between mindfulness on likelihood of hiring young candidate
H1- there is significant relation between mindfulness on likelihood of hiring young candidate
Based on the
applicant's profile, would you offer the job to this person? * What is your gender?

with the help of the above table it is clear that the likelihood of hiring the younger candidate is dependent over the gender. The single
male is there who reflects that the there are likely to hire a young candidate depending on their gender. In addition to this there are 12
females who say that they will likely to hire the younger candidate.

*. Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).
In addition to this this with the correlation table it is clearly visible that mindfulness does not related with the likelihood of hiring the
younger candidate. This is majorly pertaining to the fact that the correlation among these two are negative. On the other side the
gender and the likelihood of the younger candidate hiring is 0.099 which is low. In addition to this the significance level of both the
variable is 0.493 and 0.287 which is higher than the significance value that is 0.05. hence, this reflects that the null hypothesis is being
checked and there is not significant relation among the two variables. The pattern of the two variable is not similar as the mindfulness
does not have any relation with the likelihood of hiring a younger person.
