Table 5.
Independent samples t-test results of job performance.
Job performance | Workers’ job value status | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 1 | t-test | ||
Employment form | 0 | M1 = 3.63, SD1 = 0.45 | M2 = 2.71, SD2 = 0.74 | ut12(107) = −8.90** |
1 | M3 = 4.33, SD3 = 0.42 | M4 = 4.46, SD4 = 0.41 | t34(277) = 2.54* | |
t-test | t13(241) = 11.94** | ut24(91) = 17.88** | t14(192) = 13.36**, ut23(85) = 16.91** |
N = 426 (n1 = 79, n2 = 68, n3 = 164, n4 = 115). SD, standard deviation. For employment form, 0 = outsourced, 1 = standard. For workers’ job value status, 0 = peripheral-status, 1 = core-status.uUnequal variance t-test (the results of Levene’s test rejected the null hypothesis of variance equality). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
