My master thesis consider the influence of organizational strategies on employee commitment. I have some control variables, such as, gender, age, political party preference, years of working experience at the company, employment contract status, et cetera. To understand whether my sample is representative of the population, I was thinking of running a non-parametric test on these questions... but I'm not sure whether this is necessary/relevant?
I found that the chi-square goodness-of-fit test statistic equaled 0.92 for employment contract status. Is this enough to conclude that my sample is representative of the population?
Please note that all the control variables are categorical. For instance, employment contract status was either full-time or part-time.
I suggest you read about parametric and non-parametric test..those are associated with the (normal or abnormal) distribution of your data so that should be understood first.
Muhammad Faraz Mubarak thank you for your answer! I ran a non-parametric chi-squared test on the basis that employment contract status is a categorical variable with only two levels: either part-time or full-time. Based on that, I ran the chi-squared and got 0.92. I am wondering if I can use this to tell that my sample is representative of my population?
