Certificate in Business Data Analytics (CBDA) — Question 55

A colleague proposes measuring job satisfaction by asking the question “What is your salary?”. What is the concerning factor about this question?

Answer options

• A. Validity
• B. Subjectivity
• C. Reproducibility
• D. Clarity

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The primary concern with asking about salary to measure job satisfaction is validity; it does not accurately reflect an individual's overall job satisfaction. The other options, while relevant in different contexts, do not directly address the inadequacy of salary as a measure of satisfaction.
