I am using 1 Iv and 4 DVs, each of the variable has five questions with five Likert scale. What method of test should I use to analyze my data?
What are the 4 DVs? Do you have one multivariate question, or 4 univariate questions? I have Huberty & Morris (1989) in mind as I ask that second question. See also Huang (2020).

Hi Bruce Weaver ,
Thank you for your reply. I am doing research about " The Impact of Digitalization on Job-Related Factors among Accounting Professionals." My IV is the level of perception on digitalization and my 4 DVs are job scope, job condition, job performance and job efficiency. Each of the IV and DVs has five questions with five Likert scale. Initially, I wanted to use MANOVA to analysis my data but my IV is not categorical variable.
Hello Gar En. The SPSS command for estimating a MANOVA model is GLM, with code something like this:
GLM y1 y2 y3 y4 BY catvar
/PRINT=PARAMETER
/DESIGN=catvar.
If your explanatory variable is quantitative, change BY to WITH. But you might also want to save the fitted values and residuals for further analysis. Here is an example using one of the data files that comes with SPSS.
NEW FILE.
DATASET CLOSE ALL.
* Modify path on next line as needed.
GET FILE = "C:/SPSSdata/survey_sample.sav".
GLM educ paeduc maeduc speduc WITH age
/SAVE=PRED RESID
/PRINT=PARAMETER
/DESIGN=age.
But I urge you to read the articles I linked to in my previous post before deciding that this is the approach you want to use.
