Chapter 3: Research methodology3.10 Pilot Test and Reliability of InstrumentsRecreation, sport, parks and tourism are favourite leisure activities in United States, Canada,New Zealand and other Western countries. A fairly large body of literature and researchstudies is available on the subject leading people to enjoy varied recreational experience asappropriate to their needs and wants. In Indian settings, although a good percentage of themiddle class indulges in recreation, the concept has seriously not been looked into as anothersignificant dimension to leverage employee productivity. The researcher could not find atested, valid and reliable tool to measure the variables under study.A scale to measure perceptions of employees in Indian organisations was devised. It was putto Pilot test which was responded by 50 employees from the actual sample. The pilot testresults intimated that the direction in which the researcher intended to proceed was confirmed.The aims, objectives and the hypotheses were in the right direction. The Cronbach’s Alphasreliability for the developed questionnaires were above .678. Thus the developedquestionnaires were adopted for the present study.Table 3.3:the Pilot TestTable indicating Cronbach’s Alpha reliability for the three dimensions onDimensions No of Items Cronbach’s AlphaRecreational Facilities 17 .678Recreation Activities 28 .957Perceived Employee Contribution 16 .8503.11 Administration and scoringThe questionnaire was delivered and administered by the researcher himself and explained tothe respondents.
