Hi gouri,
I was Lecturer in a B_School and presently working as Consultant in OD.
Correlation is to find the relationship between two variables. It talks about how X variable is related in proportion to the Y variable.
Regression talks about the cause and effect relationship between the variables which correlation doesnt.
For example: Job satisfaction is related to Work Motivation. (Correlation states that if you are satisfied with the job you will also be motivated or vice versa) The correlation coefficient will indicate whether there is anegative correlation or positive correlation.
Whereas if we say Job satisfaction has contibute 56% of impact in work motivation then it is an example of regression wherein we are describing the cause effect relationship.
Hope you got the connect between the two.

Hi Friends,
I'm new to the forum.
I'm working as a HR Executive in IT firm.
The appraisal activity in my organisation has started which makes me to be clear on the semi-appraisal method.
My thinking is if appraisals are taking place once in 6 months i.e, semi-annually, then why the CTC to be termed as CTC PA in the revised CTC as it is sure that particular amount of CTC will be for the next 6 months & thereafter in the next appraisal another figure of CTC will come into picture. Though I'm aware that the appraisals need not end up in salary hike only as there could be no changes depending on case-to-case basis.
Can any one tell me the logic behind it.
