A recent study reported in the InternationalJournal of Human Resource Management concluded that employee performance is determined by the following factors: (1) reward & recognition, (2) appraisal, (3) system support, and (4) job satisfaction. 

Mr. Ebrahim Abdurrahman, an MBA student at the University College of Bahrain, wants to verify these findings in the case of Bahrain's private sectors. In this regard, he collected a sample of more than 500 respondents through online surveys.

He defines 10 motivating factors in working environment following previous studies in human resource literature, for instance: (i) job security, (ii) job promotion, (iii) working condition, (iv) wages, (v) interesting work, (vi) help/assistance, (vii) appreciation, (viii) rules, (ix) opportunity, and (x) responsibility. The aforementioned items (motivating factors) are explained variables used in the study. The list of variables are as follows: 

Y: employee performance, 

X₁: reward & recognition, 

X₂: appraisal, 

X₃: system support, and 

X₄: job satisfaction. 

[Note: Use the spss dataset Final Exam Dataset.sav to run the following analyses, by using SPSS software! Use α = 0.05 (5%) for any significance test]

Answer the following questions: 

1. Run the multiple regression analysis to examine the relationship between Y: employee performance, X₁: reward & recognition, X₂: appraisal, X₃: system support, and X₄: job satisfaction. SHOW the regression output from SPSS software
2. Based on the regression equation Y = β₀ + β₁X₁ + β₂X₂ + β₃X₃ + β₄X₄ + _{t ,} write the multiple regression model.
3. Interpret the results of multiple regression analysis for each variable.
4. Interpret the result of R-square.
5. Justify the findings of each variable based on prior studies in human resource literature (justify both significant and non-significant results). You may add explanation/justification from the journal articles/internet/magazine, and shows the references list
