Classifications of hypothesisTypologies
Simple or complex:
A Simple hypothesis: concerns the relationship between one independent( cause) and one dependent variable (effect).
![Page 25: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A complex hypothesis:
Concerns a relationship where two or more independent variables, two or more dependent variables, or both, are examined in the same study (multivariate)
![Page 26: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Hypothesis are used to state the relationship between two variables and may be stated as
Null hypotheses (no relationship between two variables).
Nondirectional hypotheses (we don’t know or won’t speculate about the direction of the relationship between two variables).
Directional hypotheses. We state the direction of the relationship between two variables.
![Page 27: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Null and research hypothesis
Null hypothesis (Ho)= Statistical hypothesis; predict that no relationship exists between variables (Rejection intention)
Research hypothesis(H1)= Alternative hypothesis; state the expected relationship between variables (Acceptance intention)
![Page 28: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Steps in Testing Hypothesis
![Page 29: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• As researchers and management professionals, one must understand the principles and concepts behind the use of various statistical methods
• Generalizations from data may be based on models that require assumptions that may not be appropriate to the situation
• Understand the role of ‘uncertainty’
![Page 30: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
How statistics helps research
• Understand the effects of variability and chance
• How many subjects to study
• How long to study a situation
• Are my findings consistent with my hypotheses or can they be explained by chance or variation
• Obtain estimates of important parameters
• Summarize quantifiable information
• Describe - with precision and accuracy
• Build the evidence of which relationships are likely not due to chance
![Page 31: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Examples:
• lifetime of light bulbs • quality of textile garments • is training effective? • what factors predict a successful micro-lending? • how do I discover fraud in credit card transactions?
![Page 32: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
So what do these 5 examples have in common?• Dealing with quantifiable information
• Information obtained on several instances/subjects, not just a single one
• Admit the presence of variability among instances
• Have uncertainty from not observing the entire population of subjects/instances
• Presence of chance is acknowledged
• Models (approximations of reality) are used
• Models of association: correlation, time series, linear multiple variable regression
• Data must fulfill some assumptions/requirements for each model
![Page 33: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Step 1: State the H0 and H1» Rejection X Acceptance
» Write / state / construct in such a way that, Null gets rejected / Alternative gets accepted
» And, null is the basis for argument
» We either "Reject H0 in favour of H1" or "Do not reject H0"; we never conclude "Reject H1", or even "Accept H1".
![Page 34: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Alternative Hy
• "Do not reject H0", this does not necessarily mean that the null hypothesis is true, it only suggests that there is not sufficient evidence against H0 in favour of H1.
• Rejecting the null hypothesis then, suggests that the alternative hypothesis may be true.
![Page 35: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Step 2 : Significance level and Sample size
» 0.05 level / 5 % level
» Big or small or what???
Fixed probability of wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis H0, if it is in fact true.
![Page 36: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Step 3: Determination of a test statistics

Step 4: Determination of a Critical Region(CR)
» Rejection region (RR)» Try to reject null hy
![Page 38: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Step 5: Computing the value of the test statistics and collect the data
Independent and dependent and controlled samples
![Page 39: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
variablesComputing the value of the test statistics and collect the data
• The scale of measurement determines how a variable is described, analyzed and interpreted ,
Description
• Tell possible values, or range of values • Tell likely values to observe in a population • Tell the central tendency, variability, shape in a sample • Tell the observed frequency of values in a sample • Quantify the relationships with other variables
• Analysis • Infer characteristics of the population from the sample values • Compare groups with respect to their distribution of this variable • Establish how it relates to other variables
• Interpretation • Are characteristics and relationships meaningful / important? • Are they statistically significant?
![Page 40: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Step 6: Making Decision and Conclusions
Rejections
Acceptance
How you conclude results
![Page 41: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
errors
Type 1 error
In a hypothesis test, a type I error occurs when the null hypothesis is rejected when it is infact true; that is, H0 is wrongly rejected
Type 2 error
A type II error occurs when the null hypothesis H0, is not rejected when it is in fact false.
![Page 42: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Relationships specify
How the value of one variable changes in relation to another
May be either positive, negative, or the two variables may not have any relationship to one another
![Page 43: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Level of Significance
The level of significance for rejecting the statistical null hypothesis should always be stated before data are collected
The level of significance usually set at (.05). this means that the researcher is willing to risk being wrong 5% .
Generally the aim of the researcher is to reject the null hypothesis because this provides support for the research hypothesis.
Fix it to : 0.05 level
![Page 44: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Test Statistics

![Page 45: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• P value
– The observed level of significance, is the smallest level at which Ho can be rejected
– The decision rules for rejecting Ho in the p-value approach are : • If p-value is greater tha or equal to ‘a’ , you do not reject the null hy;• If p-value is less than ‘a’, you rekect the null hy

A relook
Does the study contain a hypothesis or hypotheses?
Is each hypothesis clearly worded and concise?
Is the hypothesis written in a declarative sentences?
Is each hypothesis directly tied to the study problem?
![Page 48: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Does each hypothesis contain the population and at least two variables?
Is it apparent that each hypothesis contain only one prediction?
if the study contains research questions, are the questions precise and specific?
Do the research questions further delineate the problem area of the study?
![Page 49: Hypothesis....Phd in Management, HR, HRM, HRD, Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061110/5453c836af795908308b586c/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Example of hypothesis formulation
– Title : Employee empowerment
– Objective: The investigation is an empirical research work undertaken to understand how a model company can be created with innovative workplace programme and policies.
– It was also intended to understand the impact of such innovative practices on empowerment and how such processes could change the very face of the organisation and help it remain at the top of the business

• Concluding remarks
• If you know the principles of statistics, you will understand how it can help you improve the management of processes that are subject to uncertainty – from variability, sampling, chance
• If you know the methods of statistics, you will know that there are multiple options and methods to address the same issue – all are based on models, and thus all are incorrect – but some models are more useful than others
• If you are clever, you will know that cheaters like to cheat others – but you will not be cheated !!
