Data is analyzed by using the SPSS because it’s one of the ideal software to analyzing the data. SPSS can generate the graphs and table in effective manners and chances of data manipulation can be reduced by using this software. By using SPSS there are two types analysis conducted. Descriptive and inferential analyses are used in this study.

This graph is designed among the employment status and frequency of the respondents.

Inferential analysis of an evaluation of the implementation of green procurement Bakery Sector in Ireland

            Inferential analyses are conducted for the second part of the questionnaire to measuring the relationship among the variable and effects of implementation of the green procurements in the bakeries of Ireland. The inferential analyses are conducted to testing the hypothesis in effective manners. There are only major three test conducted in this study as; reliability analysis, Regression analysis and correlation analysis.

Reliability analysis of an evaluation of the implementation of green procurement Bakery Sector in Ireland

Interpretation of an evaluation of the implementation of green procurement Bakery Sector in Ireland

        The value of the Cronbach Alpha is representing in the above given tables for showing the internal consistency of the data. It clearly representing in the table the data is reliable for all of these variables as it is showing that Cronbach Alpha value is 0.868 for Use of green procurement and awareness which is the dependent variable and Cronbach Alpha value is 0.725 for Rate of wastage in the bakery sector that is independent variable. Cronbach Alpha value is 0.707 for Cost of green procurement in the bakery sector that is independent variable. These results show that the data is reliable for other analysis and the inconsistency is occurs in this data. The below given image is representing the strength of association for the Cronbach’s Alpha.

 Correlation analysis of an evaluation of the implementation of green procurement Bakery Sector in Ireland

In this study the correlation analysis is conducted to measuring the relationship and its strength among the dependent and independent variables that are the implementation of the green procurement in the bakeries of Ireland.

Interpretation

        The above table of the correlation is represents that the Pearson Correlation value for Implementation of green procurements .845 which round about 1 and it shows it is correlated with independent variables and significant value for use of green procurements is 0.000 which is less than 0.01.
