A management consultant was interested in gauging the success of different motivation-enhancing practices on employees. She had three groups of employees who underwent different types of practices: a group team-building exercise, a confidence-building meeting and the promise of performance-related pay. After the motivational practice, participants were asked to endorse nine statements relating to their motivation (on a five-point Likert scale from 1 = disagree to 5 = agree): (1) I live for succeeding in my job, (2) I look forward to work when I get up in the morning, (3) I do not like missing days through illness, (4) I want to work hard to gain promotion, (5) I am going to be more successful this year than last, (6) I am in this job to pay the bills, (7) People who work harder than
me irritate me, (8) I often look on the internet for other jobs, (9) I can’t be bothered with work. What analysis should be employed to ascertain whether the three motivational practices had an effect on responses to these nine items?
A. Factor analysis
