Hi, I’m currently doing a research on work arrangements and emotional exhaustion. I will be doing ANOVA to see which work arrangement (i.e. hybrid, onsite, telecommuting) has the least and most emotional exhaustion levels. But I also want to do a moderation analysis involving both variables, potentially moderated by emotion regulation.

I want to establish or know that the work arrangement is related to emotional exhaustion. But how? My three category nominal variable of work arrangements would not be appropriate for a point biserial correlation. Meanwhile, the emotional exhaustion data would be interval/continuous because I’m using the Maslach Burnout Inventory’s subscale for it.

Is there any way perhaps so I can still answer this research question? Thank you!
