Read the scenario related to identifying variables and developing problem statements and then answer the three questions.

Scenario:

Retention of minority women in the workplace is becoming more and more difficult. Not finding an influential mentor in the system that is willing to help them, lacking of an informal network of colleagues, lack of role models, and the lack of high visibility projects result in dissatisfaction experienced at work. When this occurs, the minority women ultimately decide to leave the organization. Of course, not all minority women quit. Only those who have the wherewithal (e.g., resources and self-confidence) to start their own business leave the organization.

1. List and label the variables as independent, dependent, intervening, or moderating

2. Explain  the relationships among the variables

3. Develop a problem statement for the situation
