A 1 Importance of Evolving To test which the competency is most important and which one is 1) Description Test - Measures of Central Tendency -
Competencies least important mode, mean, median test Objective 1
Determine the importance level of evolving competencies among QS 2) Gender - mann-whitney U test To test is there any significance different between demographic data
based on demographic data and important of evolving competencies.
3) Qualification/Age/Working experience/Nature of
company - kruskal wallis test

4) Cronbach's Alpha realibility Test To test how reliable is this research on determining the important on
evolving competencies by the respondents (high level or low level of
internal consistency/reliability) AND what is the cronbach alpha if
certain competency is deleted.

B 1 Importance of Core To test which the competency is most important and which one is 1) Description Test - Measures of Central Tendency -
Competencies least important mode, mean, median test Objective 1
Determine the importance level of core competencies among QS 2) Gender - mann-whitney U test To test is there any significance different between demographic data
based on demographic data and important of core competencies.
3) Qualification/Age/Working experience/Nature of
company - kruskal wallis test

4) Cronbach's Alpha realibility Test To test how reliable is this research on determining the important on
evolving competencies by the respondents (high level or low level of
internal consistency/reliability) AND what is the cronbach alpha if
certain competency is deleted.

C 1 Competency Level of QS To test the competency level of the respondents 1) Description Test - Measures of Central Tendency -
mode, mean, median test Objective 3
Determine the competency level of QS based on demographic data 2) Gender - mann-whitney U test To test is there any significance different between demographic data
and level of competencies.
3) Qualification/Age/Working experience/Nature of
company - kruskal wallis test

Determine the relationship between competency level possessed by 4) Relate section A&B with section C - Friedman To test if one competency is important, is the level of competency is
QS and the importance level of competency test high among the respondents.

D 1 Factor Affecting Level of To test which the factor is most agree and which one is least agree 1) Description Test - Measures of Central Tendency -
Competencies mode, mean, median test Objective 2
Determine the factors affecting level of competencies based on 2) Gender - mann-whitney U test To test is there any significance different between demographic data
demographic data and the factors
3) Qualification/Age/Working experience/Nature of
company - kruskal wallis test

4) Cronbach's Alpha realibility Test To test how reliable is this research on determining how factor
affecting the competencies level by the respondents (high level or low
level of internal consistency/reliability) AND what is the cronbach
alpha if certain item is deleted.
2 Did company provide any To discover is there have relationship between two categorical 5) Chi Square Test
programme improved variables such as gender/qualification to the question.
