The Impact of Commute Time on Work Life Satisfaction

Name: Roopinder Sandhu Student ID: 102307729 TASK A It was hypothesised that workers who take less time to travel to work each day will generally, be more satisfied with their work life. In a random sample of 150 Australian adult employees of a large Melbourne based company, there was a moderate, negative linear correlation between time spent travelling to work per day (in minutes) and work life satisfaction and Pearson's r shows that this relationship is significant r = -. 49, n =150, p <. 001. The 95% confidence for Pearson's correlation indicates that the strength of the relationship is between r = -. 35 and r = -. 60. In this sample, for each additional 10 minutes spent travelling to work each day, on average, work satisfaction scores decreased by 2.2 points It was hypothesised that workers who take less time to travel to work each day will, be more satisfied with their work life.
