The Applied HR paper enables the student to integrate and build onto what has been covered in the course by writing a research paper that goes beyond the material in the text. The student selects one of the major theoretical perspectives of HR (ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR) discussed in the course and produces a research paper (10-12 pages including front and end matter) on that topic. The student should:
1. Conduct research within the literature related to your topic area to expand your knowledge within the specific area of scholarly work relevant to your problem. More specifically, you must know in detail prior theory and research that have addressed your chosen topic. If you are unaware of relevant prior theory and research, you risk recreating the wheel. Further, a paper that reveals a lack of knowledge of prior work lacks credibility. You should discuss no less than 7 scholarly resources in this section.
2. Address how the varied perspectives relate to or complement what has been discussed in the text or online course materials.
3. Describe how a practicing manager might make use of what you have found to better manage human resources.
Examples of topics that you might research include:
Organizational Culture
Your research session paper should use the following format:
– Introduction:
Briefly describes the topic and how it relates to HR.
Establishes an area of concern that the paper will cover (how the literature review relates to the topic).
– Literature Review
Describe how the topic has been addressed in the business literature.
Address how the varied perspectives relate to the topic and managing HR.
– Discussion & Conclusion
Discuss your experience with the topic.
Describe how a practicing manager might make use of what you have found to better manage change.
– References
You must make reference to at least seven (7) articles from academic journals.
The paper should include a title page, table of contents, abstract, and list of references, and should comply with APA format.
