Determining the Association between the Impact of Education and Changing Institutional Network

Abstract

Aim of the Study: The core objective of this research was to determine the association between the impact of education and changing institutional network while controlling gender as a background variable at a multivariate level.

Methodology: The study was carried out in district Swat and the sampled respondents (n=250) were chosen from the seven tehsils of the study locale based on a non-probability sampling procedure. The data were processed and analyzed on quantitative grounds at bivariate and multivariate levels using a questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. Further, the data was indexed and results were drawn through the Chi-square test coupled with Gamma (ℽ) statistics at the bivariate level and Kendall Tau-C (T^c) at the multivariate level respectively.

Findings and Conclusion: The results revealed a significant relationship between the impact of education and changing institutional networks. Furthermore, the values of Kendall Tau-C and Chi-Square depicted spurious relationships among the impact of education and change in institutional network while controlling gender. The study concludes that the role of education in bringing change in the institutional network is significant whereas, about gender, the tendency of modernization was noticed higher in males than females.
