Questions - Please help me to conclude basing on the information as below

In a hypothetical study of a major North American automobile manufacturer, employees provided opinions on a scale of 0 to 100 as follows:

ATTEND: Employee attendance/participation. The percentage of workdays (excluding paid vacation) that the employee was not absent in the 12months prior to the study.

BOARD: The employee\'s support for policies supported by the corporation\'s board of directors in the 12 months prior to the study.

DIV: The employee\'s support for positions take by the director of the employee\'s own division in the 12 months prior to the study.

SECUR: The employee\'s feelings of security in keeping his or her present job during the coming year.

PARTIC: The employee\'s support for a participatory decisions-making approach similar to the one used by several Japanese competitors.

OPPOR: The employee\'s self-assessment of opportunity for promotion/advancement in the coming year.

UNION: The employee\'s support for expanded trade union activities in the firm.

SALARY: The employee\'s perception of the likelihood of receiving a major pay raise in his or her current job sometime in the next year.

MGTPOP: All 89 of the highest-level managers in the corporation (top and upper-middle levels).

EMPLOY: A randomly selected sample of 50 employees working under the top and middle managers at the firm.
