Just finished analyzing 297 employees over 4 time points and the results are interesting 📊
I expected to find that support matters for engagement. And it does—but not in the way most HR teams think.
The numbers:
✓ Social support: 4.08/5
✓ Organizational citizenship: 4.09/5
✗ Engagement: 3.52/5 ← the gap
So employees feel supported, they want to contribute, they're emotionally stable. But they're not engaged in their actual work.
Used mediation analysis to understand the pathway: support doesn't directly drive commitment. It works through engagement first. Which means if engagement is low, support alone won't fix retention 🔍
Everything is fully documented in my GitHub: github.com/RicardoPad/People-Analytics
✓ Full Jupyter notebook with code
✓ Methodology: factor analysis, reliability testing (Cronbach's alpha 0.80-0.87), mediation modeling
✓ Findings and business recommendations
✓ Dataset (anonymized)
Curious what others are seeing in their data on this. Is engagement the actual bottleneck in your organizations? 🤔
