The area of budget allocation, it also depicts that there is no significant difference on the assessment of the three respondents with all having a managed interpretation.
The summary of ANOVA on the assessment of the three groups or respondents exemplifies that the five areas have different decisions which are: the hypothesis is rejected in the training program; accepted in sports facilities; rejected in human resources; and accepted both in academic tie up and budget allocation.
