Computing A Variable Mean

Computing A Variable Mean For any relationship-specific analysis (e. g. correlation, regression) or even construct descriptive statistics, it is necessary to first fine the mean score of the relevant constructs. The procedure in SPSS is as follow:

1. Identify the items of the constructs. In this case let assume � JOB SATISFACTION (5 items) � TRUST IN LEADER (7 items)

2. Go to Transform and select Compute variable

3. Write the function expression as shown by double-clicking on every item of the construct 1. Define the new variable name 2. Select the function “MEAN” 4. Last step

Newly created variable
