A Meta-Analysis of Panel Studies
How Important Are Job Attitudes? Meta-Analytic Comparisons Of Integrative Behavioral Outcomes And Time Sequences
Formulate problem
Identify and read relevant theoretical and empirical articles
studies were utilized.
Contextual performance and focal performance were the two main factors on which the studies were based
Identify important, common variables, study, and measurement characteristics to assess
The two variables being studied were job attitudes and job performance
Job attitudes were linked to different factors that came under the category of contextual and focal performance
Identify contradictory findings
Decide on meta-analysis objectives
To fill the gap between the relationship of these two factors.
To fill the gap between the relationships of these two factors.

4. Analyze Data
Conduct univariate analysis of mean effect sizes
As mentioned above, analysis was done of the two job attitudes: commitment and satisfaction and of job satisfaction as well.
The analysis was bivariate
Search for moderators using bivariate analysis of effect sizes
Search for moderators using multivariate analysis of effect sizes
Construct and analyze the meta-analytical correlation matrix to test theory
This was carried out.

5. Interpret and discuss
Report univariate and bivariate findings using tables and figures
This was also done.
This was done
Make detailed recommendations for future research based on the findings
The recommendations were that more studies need to be done to figure out the causal relationship between the two variables.
