is an accessibly written textbook explaining the ideas underpinning descriptive and inferential statistics in organizational research. Acting as much more than a theoretical reference tool, the book guides readers, a step at a time, through the stages of successful data analysis. Covering everything from introductory descriptive statistics to advanced inferential techniques such as ANOVA, multiple and logistic regression and factor analysis, this is one of the most comprehensive textbooks available. Dealing with more than simply statistical techniques it also focuses on conceptual issues, such as the distinction between statistical and practical significance, statistical power and the importance of effect sizes. Using examples that are directly relevant to organizational research it includes practical advice on topics such as the size of samples required in research studies, using and interpreting SPSS and writing up results. In helping readers to develop a sound understanding of statistical methods rather than focusing on complex formulas and computations, this engaging text book is appropriate for readers of all ability levels - from those who wish to refresh their knowledge to those new to the subject area.
