Correlation 1: Satisfaction Level vs. Last Evaluation

cor1 <- cor.test(hr$satisfaction_level, hr$last_evaluation)
cor1
## 
##  Pearson's product-moment correlation
## 
## data:  hr$satisfaction_level and hr$last_evaluation
## t = 12.933, df = 14997, p-value < 2.2e-16
## alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
##  0.08916727 0.12082195
## sample estimates:
##       cor 
## 0.1050212
Technical interpretation:
  • The p-value is extremely small, therefore the correlation between satisfaction level and last evaluation is significant.
  • The correlation is slightly positive.
Non-technical interpretation:
  • Higher satisfaction levels indicates slightly higher last evaluation scores.

  labs(title = "Higher Satisfaction Slightly Increases Evaluation Scores",
       x = "Satisfaction Level",
       y = "Last Evaluation Score")
## `geom_smooth()` using formula = 'y ~ x'

Correlation 2: Number of Projects vs. Average Monthly Hours

cor2 <- cor.test(hr$number_project, hr$average_montly_hours)
cor2
## 
##  Pearson's product-moment correlation
## 
## data:  hr$number_project and hr$average_montly_hours
## t = 56.219, df = 14997, p-value < 2.2e-16
## alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
##  0.4039037 0.4303411
## sample estimates:
##       cor 
## 0.4172106
Technical interpretation:
  • The p-value is extremely small, therefore the correlation is significant.
  • The correlation is weak and positive.
Non-technical interpretation:
  • Employees with more projects work more hours each month.
ggplot(hr, aes(x = number_project, y = average_montly_hours)) +
  geom_point(alpha = 0.5) +

Correlation 3: Time Spent at Company vs. Average Monthly Hours

cor3 <- cor.test(hr$time_spend_company, hr$average_montly_hours)
cor3
## 
##  Pearson's product-moment correlation
## 
## data:  hr$time_spend_company and hr$average_montly_hours
## t = 15.774, df = 14997, p-value < 2.2e-16
## alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
##  0.1119801 0.1434654
## sample estimates:
##       cor 
## 0.1277549
Technical interpretation:
  • The p-value is small, therefore the correlation is significant.
  • The correlation is moderately positive.
Non-technical interpretation:
  • Employees with who have been at the company longer work slightly more hours per month.
ggplot(hr, aes(x = time_spend_company, y = average_montly_hours)) +
  geom_point(alpha = 0.5) +
  geom_smooth(method = "lm", se = FALSE, color = "green") +

Correlation 4: Satisfaction Level vs. Time Spent at Company

cor4 <- cor.test(hr$satisfaction_level, hr$time_spend_company)
cor4
## 
##  Pearson's product-moment correlation
## 
## data:  hr$satisfaction_level and hr$time_spend_company
## t = -12.416, df = 14997, p-value < 2.2e-16
## alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0

##  -0.11668153 -0.08499948
## sample estimates:
##        cor 
## -0.1008661
Technical interpretation:
  • The p-value is small, therefore the correlation is significant.
  • The correlation is negative and weak.
Non-technical interpretation:
  • Employees who have been at company longer have slightly lower satisfaction levels.
