Simple Linear Correlation Statistical Test:
Employee Empowerment & Service Quality
Introduction
This research proposal will seek to answer the research question
that states, “What is the effect of employee empowerment on
service quality in an organization?”. This is a question of

4. interest as many organizations today are developing strategies
towards ensuring that their employees are well empowered in
order for the organizations to be sustainable and remain on top
in a highly competitive market. Employees are a very important
component in any organization as they are the ones who are
directly involved with the organization’s activities and service
provision, as well being in direct contact with the consumers or
customers of the particular services offered by the organization
(Rao & Chandra, 2013). Therefore, the welfare and well-being
of these employees is of great concern to the organization so as
to maintain and improve the quality of service that they offer.
The research proposal will employ the use of a simple linear
correlation statistical test to answer the research question of
interest. This is because simple linear correlation is a measure
of the degree to which two variables vary together, or a measure
of the association between two variables (Yang, 2010). This
statistical test therefore applies to the research question as the
question has two variables, employee empowerment being the
independent variable, and service quality being the dependent
variable. The simple linear correlation test will help to
determine the measure of association between employee
empowerment and service quality and the degree to which they
vary together, by examining the effect that employee
empowerment has on the quality of service offered in an
organization. The research proposal will test for the null
hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (H1).
The null hypothesis (H0) states that there is no statistical
significance between employee empowerment and service
quality in an organization, whereas the alternative hypothesis
(H1) states that there is statistical significance between the two
variables of employee empowerment and service quality in an
organization (Shi & Tao, 2008).
Methods
The study participants will comprise of employees from private
financial firms such as banks, insurance companies, and credit

5. and savings facilities in the town of Seattle, America. 10
organizations were selected randomly with a total population of
940 employees. A sample size of 141 participants will be
selected for the study from among all the employees of the 10
selected organizations which represents 15% of the total
population. According to Nachimias, D.and Nachimias, C.F.
(1996), this is considered an adequate size for study. The
participants will comprise of both male and female employees
who are not in the higher management levels in the
organizations they work for. Also, the employees selected
should have worked in the organization for not less than two
years. the study participants will be selected using the
probabilistic stratified random sampling method. This will
involve the employees being put into groups depending on the
number of years they have worked in the organization, like 2-3
years, 3-5 years, 5-7 years, and more than 7 years. The members
from each group will then be selected randomly. This will
ensure that the sample is representative and it consists of
members from each group (Ardilly, Jang & Tille, 2006).
Procedures
This research study comprises of two variables, that is, the
independent variable which is employee empowerment, and the
dependent variable which is service quality.
Employee empowerment will involve variables three key aspects
which are training, rewards, and management support. The scale
of measurement for employee empowerment and its three
aspects is ordinal. Also, service quality will be measured using
the ordinal scale. Both the independent and the dependent
variables are characteristically continuous in nature. Employee
empowerment is a categorical variable and the dependent
variable of service quality is also categorical (Janke & Tinsley,
2005). For example, you could correlate a person's age with
their blood sugar levels. Here, the units are completely
different; age is measured in years and blood sugar level
measured in mmol/L (a measure of concentration). Indeed, the
calculations for Pearson's correlation coefficient were designed

6. such that the units of measurement do not affect the calculation.
In turn, thus allowing the innate correlation coefficient to be
comparable and not influenced by the units of the variables used
(Sukal, 2013).
According to Rao & Chandra (2013), employee empowerment in
an organization can be defined as the process of giving
employees the opportunity to have their input and control over
their work, allowing them a certain level of autonomy and even
involving them in the very important responsibility of decision-
making in an organization. Employee empowerment will be
measured by examining three key areas of training for the
employees by the organization, rewards by the organization
towards the employees, and the level of support offered to the
employees by the management. Service quality refers to the
assessment of how well a service that has been delivered by an
organization or business conforms to the customer’s needs and
expectations (Rao & Chandra, 2013). This variable of service
quality will be measured using a set of five dimensions as
defined by the SERVQUAL measurement instrument. These
dimensions are: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness,
assurance, and empathy.
These are used to measure the gap between the expectations of
customers and their perception of the actual services delivered
by the organization (Rao & Chandra, 2013).
Results
Simple linear correlation refers to a measure of the degree to
which two variables vary together, or a measure of the intensity
of the association between two variables, the independent and
the dependent variables. This test has been chosen for this study
and is appropriate because the study seeks to establish the
association that exists between the two variables which are
employee empowerment and service quality in an organization.
This test is therefore appropriate as it will clearly test and
demonstrate whether there exists any statistical significance
between employee empowerment and service quality (Yang,
2010).

7. The simple linear correlation statistical test has the
following assumptions: level of measurement for each variable
either ordinal or nominal and for the correlation test both
variables should be continuous, related pairs of variables,
absence of outliers in either variable as having outliers can
skew the results of the correlation, linearity, and
homoscedasticity which refers to the shape of the values formed
by the scatterplot and the distance between the points to that
straight line. These assumptions will be addressed in this study
in that both the independent and dependent variables are
continuous and also there will be no outliers in either variable
(Janke & Tinsley, 2005).
The results of this study will provide information on
whether organizations are conducting employee empowerment
through the three key aspects of interest which are training,
rewards, and supportive management. This information will
enable the researcher to determine whether the employees under
study are empowered or not.
The study will also provide information on the service quality
offered by the organization and how the level of employee
empowerment in an organization affects the service quality
offered. This information will assist the researcher regarding
the hypothesis conclusion, whether to reject the null hypothesis
and accept the alternative hypothesis (Shi & Tao, 2008). The
parameter being measure is P (rho) and is estimated by the
statistic r, the correlation coefficient. r can range from -1 to 1
and the confidence levels for the study will be 95% for the
Pearson’s correlation coefficient r effect size. This means that
the population mean will be included within the ranges of 95%
of the confidence intervals of the mean calculated from the
sampled data with a 95% probability. This method is a
Correlation technique used for investigating the relationship
between two quantitative, continuous variables, for example,
age and blood pressure. Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) is a
measure of the strength of the association between the two
variables. The assumption identified in this study and the use of

8. the simple linear correlation test is that there are no outliers in
either variable and that there are related pairs in the variables.
Using this statistical test, conclusions of whether an association
and statistical significance exists between employee
empowerment and service quality in an organization can be
made. This conclusion can be clearly drawn from the results of
the study. The results of this study are very important and
significant in that they are the ones that assist in determining
the outcome of the hypothesis that are being tested. They help
in either rejecting the null hypothesis or accepting the
alternative hypothesis in the study (Yang, 2010). Within the
guise of simple linear correlation statistical tests, there are
several questions that input through variable analysis.
