1. Research Question: Is there a significant difference in the length of service with their current
employer and their income?
2. Hypothesis
a. Ho: There is no significant difference in the length of service with their current employer
and their income
b. Ha: There is a significant difference in the length of service with their current employer
and their income
3. Select appropriate test: Use one way ANOVA
4. Let alpha level = 0.05
5. Decision Rule = If p < 0.05, reject Null Hypothesis
6. Run the test

Since p = .000 < .05, there is a significant difference in the length of service with their current employer
and their income. To determine which kind of post-hoc test to use, Levene’s test for homogeneity of
variances was performed. The result of this test is shown on Table 3.

Test of Homogeneity of Variances

Sig value of .000 < 0.05, it indicates that equal variances are not assumed. We will use Dunnett T3 data.

*. The mean difference is significant at the 0.05 level.
Less than 5 ≠ 5 to 15 (Mean difference is 18.79432, significant)
Less than 5 ≠ More than 15 (Mean difference 94.76962, significant)
5 to 15 ≠ more than 15 (mean difference 75.97529, significant)

7. State the conclusion: There is a significant difference in the length of service with their employer
and their income, F(2, 6397) = 1054.203, p < .05.
