6.1 Introduction

The previous chapter described the research design, data collection method, sample size &
techniques, source of data and statistical technique was used in this study.

This chapter focuses on the results obtained based on the empirical analyses conducted to test
the hypotheses. The descriptive statistics calculated for the sample which was collected for
this study. That is, the data pertaining to the variables included measuring instruments and
summarised by means of calculation of descriptive measures. In this manner, the properties
of the observed data clearly emerge and an overall picture thereof is obtained. The descriptive
and inferential statistics generated for the conjectured relationships between both variables
are presented and discussed.

of labour laws provide the greater effectiveness result in the organisations
6.3.2 Result of Organisational Effectiveness Questionnaire

In order to properly analyze the responses obtained from the employees related to
Organisational Effectiveness Questionnaire which is based on 4 selected factors, labour
management relations, Job satisfaction and motivation, Employees productivity and
Employees retentions. The data collected from various level of employees and tabulated in
the form of mean.

From Table No 12 above it was observed that in labour management relations the 41% of
the total Respondents were strongly agree , 42% agree, 8% were Neutral, 6 % of the
respondents disagree while 3 % of the respondents strongly disagree. The second category
emphasizes on Job Satisfaction and Motivation when we asked the 52 % were strongly agree
, 43 % agree, 3% were Neutral, 1 % of the respondents disagree and strongly disagree. It is
quite obvious that employee productivity is most important factor for every organisation,
Thus, from the above result third category shown the response ,62 % were strongly agree ,
33 % agree, 2% were Neutral and disagree while 1 % strongly disagree. Every organisation
wants to attract and retain some of the best hands and employees ,the last category related to
Employees Retentions where the 45% of the total respondents were strongly agree , 46%
agree, 6% were Neutral, 2 % of the respondents disagree and 1 % of the respondents strongly
disagree . However, the table shows the overall result, where most of the respondents were
strongly agree and agree with organisational effectiveness factors.

6.4 Testing of Hypothesis

Having examined the sample population, the study now proceeds to test the hypothesis
formulating in this research. This is part of the measure needed to provide empirical support
for this study to identify the relation between various Labour law reforms and organisational
effectiveness factors. To test the hypothesis, the study use Pearson’s Product Moment
Correlation Co-efficient, the formula is stated below:
Key
X: X Values
Y: Y Values
Mx: Mean of X Values
My: Mean of Y Values
X - Mx & Y - My: Deviation scores
(X - Mx)2 & (Y - My)2: Deviation Squared
(X - Mx)(Y - My): Product of Deviation Scores

Hypothesis
Ho1: There is no significant relationship between Wage and Compensation Acts and
Organisational Effectiveness factors.
Ho2: There is no significant relationship between Labour Welfare Provisions Acts and
Organisational Effectiveness factors.
Ho3: There is no significant relationship between Industrial Dispute and Industrial Relation
Acts and Organisational Effectiveness factors.

Result Details & Calculation

X Values
∑ = 100
Mean = 20
∑(X - Mx)2 = SSx = 1934
Y Values
∑ = 100
Mean = 20
∑(Y - My)2 = SSy = 2182
X and Y Combined
N=5
∑(X - Mx)(Y - My) = 2051
R Calculation
r = ∑((X - My)(Y - Mx)) / √((SSx)(SSy))
r = 2051 / √((1934)(2182)) = 0.9984
Meta Numerics (cross-check)
r = 0.9984
