Lebo claims that workers in large companies are less work

motivated than workers in small companies. In a previous study involving all

large companies in South Africa, it was found that the average workers’

motivation score on a work motivation questionnaire (where a higher score

indicates a higher level of work motivation) was 50 with a standard deviation

of 15. Lebo plans to present the same questionnaire to a sample of workers from

small companies to determine whether her suspicion is true.
