However, the mean score procedures of logistic regression and multiple regression are quite the same. For an exampleis to predict the relationship between “ Competence Upgrading ” and “Technology Innovation”. So, “Technology Innovation” is dependent construct, which consists of “ One ” factors and “Competence Upgrading ” is independent construct, whichconsists of “Two ” factors as named and shown in the questionnaire design. In order to compute the mean scores of each factor of dependent and independent variables, you should pick up the final formal r esul ts of factor analysis stage . This means that “how many items still remain after the factor analysis?” Compute mean score instruction: Click on TransformCompute Variable…(then you will get Figure 1)

In order to get the results of simple and multiple regressions, you need to handle with the following
steps:
1. Compute Mean Scores
You need to compute the mean score of each factor in the independent constructs, as well
as the factor of the dependent constructs, which the relationship is going to test. However,the mean score procedures of logistic regression and multiple regression are quite the
same.
For an example is to predict the relationship between “Competence Upgrading ” and
“Technology Innovation”. So, “Technology Innovation” is dependent construct, which
consists of“ One
”factors and “Competence Upgrading ” is independent construct, which
consists of “Two ” factors as named and shown in the questionnaire design.
In order to compute the mean scores of each factor of dependent and independent
variables, you should pick up the final formal r esul ts of factor analysis stage . This
means that “how many items still remain after the factor analysis?”
Compute mean score instruction:
Click on Transform Compute Variable…(then you will get Figure 1)
After you clicked on “Compute Variable”, you have to do some following steps:
Look at Figure 2, you have to type factor name (you can label any name) in “Target
Variable” is on the top-left panel.
In Numeric Expression panel, you can type “ Mean (? , ? ) “ and question mark “?”means that you have to insert items that you are going to compute after the factor
For “Method”, you may need to select “Stepwise” >> Click on “OK” (See Figure 8)
3. How to check and select the results…?
a. Model Summary — you will see: R-square, Adjusted R-square, Durbin-Walson (D-W) and other
related values.b. ANOVA — you will see: F-value and significant level (sig.)
c. Coefficients — you will see: Standardized Coefficient (Beta —β), t-value, p-value, and VIF (VIFrange, supposed that you will have two independent variables) then you may need to write down
lowest and highest VIF value.
d. Excluded Variables
By following this procedure, there are some main criterions to treat the results of multiple regressions:
1. To delete or reduce factor while running multiple regression in order to fit the rules of thumb,
you do need to make sure and observe or compare with other factors, which have the lowest t-
value (actually, criterion of t-value > 1.96) and p-value criteria (p <0.05 or <0.001 or <0.10),then you can decide to delete that variable (factors). To delete variable, you must go back to theregression stage again and then move the variable (s) to the left panel and click on “OK.”
2. ***
p<0.001,** p<0.01,
* p <0.05,
+ p<0.1 with t-value (t >1.96) is significant level.
