Her publications range from contributions to professional journals on the nature of employee satisfaction to referred journal articles of findings from multivariate and multilevel analyses with a focus on factors influencing student achievement in various subject areas. In addition, Dr Lietz has contributed chapters on descriptive and inferential statistics in methods books for the social sciences.
