From the SPSS output, we are able to see that the means of the respective variables for the two groups are:
Affective commitment (affcomm)
T-test: Interpretation
T-test: Interpretation
Under the t-test for Equality of Means look at Sig. (2-tailed) for Equal variances assumed. The score is 0.035 (which is less than 0.05), therefore there is a significant difference between the means of the two groups.
