Table 8lists the odds ratios associated with the predictivemodel short-term employee commitment. Age 1 (age 30 and less) is at the intercept of the predictive model equation. Age 2 respondents’ (ages 31 through 50) probability of responding “likely” to the dependent variable short-term employee commitment increased by 1.8 times, and age 3 (age 51 and older) respondents’ probability of a “likely” response increased by 0.56 times more than the response values from the age 1 group. Respondents in age 2 were morethan3timesmorelikelytorespond“likely”tothequestionof short-term commitment than those in age 3. The predictive model was applied to the validation data set and predicted the validation data set correctly 82.6% of the time.
