"Unraveling The Role Of IBM SPSS: A Comprehensive Examination Of Usage Patterns, Perceived Benefits, And Challenges In Research Practice"

Abstract

Statistical analysis is crucial for drawing meaningful conclusions in modern research across various disciplines. IBM SPSS has emerged as a widely utilized tool for data analysis, offering extensive analytical capabilities and user-friendly features. Despite its empirical usage, there exists a gap in research systematically examining SPSS's impact and importance. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the significance of SPSS in research work through an examination of usage patterns and perceived limitations among researchers. Data was collected from 460 respondents through a questionnaire survey, revealing diverse familiarity levels with SPSS and a generally positive perception of its importance and effectiveness in research. The findings underscore SPSS's pivotal role in enhancing research outcomes, though challenges such as the need for expert guidance persist. Overall, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of SPSS's role in research practice and emphasizes the importance of leveraging its potential for robust data analysis.
