In an experiment, the independent variable is the one that is manipulated or changed by the experimenter, and the dependent variable is the one that is measured to see whether or how it is affected by the independent variable. In this case, the noise level is being manipulated (independent variable), and the resulting effect on employee performance is being measured (dependent variable).
