    6 2 Scenario Analysis Vacation Time

    The document analyzes factors related to employee burnout and vacation time. It finds that employees take more than 1.4 weeks of vacation annually based on a hypothesis test. However, the vice president cannot claim an absence of burnout solely based on this finding, as burnout is influenced by multiple factors. While the current data does not strongly indicate burnout will negatively impact the company, using a single factor would not provide an accurate assessment of this complex issue.

    Quantitative Analysis

    6-2 Scenario Analysis: Vacation Time

    1. What factors should the vice-president consider in determining the presence of


    employee burnout?

    There are multiple factors to take into consideration when determining whether employee

    burnout exists. Vacation time is an important indicator, but is certainly not the only factor.

    An employee’s productivity can be an important signal that burnout is imminent. Morale and

    initiative are also other gauges that help determine whether this needs to be a concern.

    2. Do employees take more than 1.4 weeks of vacation?

    Hₒ = µ < 1.4
    HA = µ > 1.4

    The t-value for this test was 2.93 and the P-Value was 0.0084. These numbers indicate that

    the level of confidence that Hₒ is valid is not within 95%. We can, therefore, reject the Null

    Hypothesis and say with confidence that the employees do take more than 1.4 weeks of

    vacation annually.

    3. What reasons should the vice-president provide to the president to justify the
    recommendation on employee burnout?

    While the hypothesis test does not support the claim that employees take less than 1.4

    weeks of vacation a year, it does not guarantee the absence of employee burnout. As

    mentioned in question one, there are multiple other factors that could contribute to and act as

    an indicator for employee burn out. The vice-president would have to develop and test

    another hypothesis on a different factor in order to back his recommendation.


    4. Based on the data, is the presence of employee burnout an issue that may negatively
    impact the company?

    If we are to base our assumptions solely on the data provided, then we could say with a

    relatively large amount of confidence that employee burnout is not an issue that will negatively

    impact the company currently. However, it would not be prudent to use one factor and one

    factor alone to determine such a multi-faceted issue.
