Degrees of freedom = (r-1) (c-1)

(2-1) (5-1) = 1*4 = 4

At 5% level of significance

χ2 = 9.488

Table value = 13.063

INTERPRETATION

Since the calculated value (13.063) is greater than the

table value (9.488), we reject the null hypothesis and

accept the alternative hypothesis. Hence it is clear

that stress management has significant impact on the

job satisfaction.
