The Results of Hypothesis 2
Several studies have highlighted significant consequences of appreciation. A study of recognition among professionals found that members were most likely to perceive recognition and that is one of the causes of appreciation. As expected, the results of this study shows that the relationship between employee contribution and appreciation is significant with β=0.597 (ρ=0.001). So, we reject the null hypothesis. The result further indicates that the direction of the associations is positive in which it implies that the more the more appreciation is given to the employees, the possibility of them to perceive of recognition will be higher.
Beta value of 0.597 indicates that appreciation contributes 59.7% of total employees’ perception of contribution in relation to the job outcomes (independent variables).
