Linking Organisational Culture, Leadership Styles, Human Resource Management Practices and Organisational Performance: Data Screening and Preliminary Analysis Amer Ahmad AlAnazi Universiti Utara Malaysia Faridahwati Mohd. Shamsudin Universiti Utara Malaysia Johanim Johari Universiti Utara Malaysia This paper explored the data collected regarding the study linking organisational culture, leadership styles, human resource management practices and organisational performance. Two hundred and fifty six Saudi Arabia Private firms participated in the study. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) application package version 22. An initial data screening and preliminary analysis was performed in order to ensure that the assumptions of multivariate analysis have not been violated. Specifically, the assessment of missing values, outliers, normality test and multicollinearity test were performed in the present study. We concluded that the data was fit for further multivariate analysis. INTRODUCTION The importance of the initial data screening in multivariate data analysis technique cannot be over- emphasized because the validity of inferences drawn from statistical test results accuracy of the of results largely depend on the whether the key assumptions of multivariate analysis have been violated or not. Although the validity of inferences drawn from statistical test results depends on how well data meet the key assumptions of multivariate analysis, however, literature indicates that many research have been carried our without reporting whether such assumptions are violated or not (Hoekstra, Kiers, & Johnson, 2012). Study also suggests that initial data screening in multivariate data analysis technique is intended to identify and correct some methodological errors or at least to minimize their impact on the overall study results (Van den Broeck, Cunningham, Eeckels, & Herbst, 2005). The purpose of this paper was to explore the data collected regarding the study linking organisational culture, leadership styles, human resource management practices and organisational performance. Specifically, our goal was to confirm that the key assumptions of multivariate analysis have been violated before conducting the main analyses for the study. Toward this end, the remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In section 2, we the research method employed for this study was highlighted. This is followed by presentation of the and discussion of results in section 3, which are based on assessment of 70 American Journal of Management Vol. 16(1) 2016
