Multiple Choice

Fatima was writing her results section in an article on organizational coaching and reported the following multiple linear regression result: "A multiple linear regression was utilized using the three domains of organizational coaching (affective, behavioral, and cognitive) as the independent variables and job satisfaction as the dependent variable. The linear combination of the independent variables was significantly related to the degree to which a participant was satisfied with her or his job: F(3, 369) = 61.51, p < .0005. The sample multiple correlation coefficient, R, was .58, which indicates that approximately 34% of the variance of an individual's motivation at work could be accounted for by the linear combination of the independent variables. However, only cognitive coaching (t = 3.33, p < .005, β = .27) and affective coaching (t = 4.39, p < .0005, β = .29) accounted for any of the unique variance." Which of the following statements is false?

A) The linear combination accounted for 33% of the variance.
B) R² = .3364
C) The multiple linear regression was statistically significant.
D) All three organizational coaching variables accounted for unique variance.
