I need to give code to each response (strongly agree= 5, agree =4, neutral= 3, disagree =2 , strongly disagree =1)---- my question is:
do I need to change the score depend on what I need from each question, for example:-
these two question
1. Top management has a strong belief in innovation as a key driver of growth and development of the company.
o Strongly agree- I give it code 5
o Agree- I give it code 4
o Neutral-- I give it code 3
o Disagree-- I give it code 2
o Strongly disagree- I give it code 1
because I need answer “Strongly agree” that is why I give it code 5>>> but when the question opposite what I need, like the follow one
2. Procrastination by top management has led to lost opportunities for innovation for my company.
o Strongly agree-- I give it code 1
o Agree-- I give it code 2
o Neutral¬-- I give it code 3
o Disagree-- I give it code 4
o Strongly disagree-- I give it code 5
Because I DO NOT need answer “Strongly agree” that is why I give it code 1>>> IS THAT CORRECT OR I NEED TO FOLLOW SAME ORDER IN WHOLE QUESTIONNAIR DISREGARDING WHAT INEED ANSWER
CAN ANYONE HELP

hi eddy
are these questions in ONE questionnaire, you need to be consistent in coding. I'd follow the same older in coding; only when you have done the data analysis, you need to see which direction it shows; for example low post-test scores for certain questions would mean more agreeable for question 2.

good luck
