HRM Theory

HRM Theory

This is assignment two of transformational paper (I would love to work with people who did the transformational paper)

Assignment Task

You are required to produce an essay which critically evaluates a contemporary HRM theory and applies your theoretical conceptual framework to a specific organisation’s practice and comments on how theory fits with practice in relation to that organisation. Both the theory and the organisation must be appropriate.

2          Assignment Format

Your assignment should be 3,000 words (+/- 10%).   You should present your assignment using 12 point font and double line spacing.

Provide a front cover and appropriately introduce your essay and reach conclusions. You may use some key sub-headings but as this is an essay you do not use a numbering system or provide a contents page. 

Note that you may include figures and diagrams as appropriate or appendices. Figures, diagrams and appendices do not count in the word count (and neither do the references). You should never use a figure, diagram or appendix to make a point; all key points should be made in your narrative.

Ensure that you follow the USW Harvard referencing system.

Three main components of the essay

Critically evaluate theory relating to HRM/OD to produce a theoretical conceptual framework

Apply theoretical conceptual framework to practice observed in a work organisation (one where you work or another organisation)

Comment on the fit between theory and practice (fit and lack of fit).

On these presentations I have provided guidance on each slide by pressing on the grey loud speaker icon, on the bottom left of the presentation. There are also two recordings where I have gone through these presentations – located on Blackboard.

Pick your organisation & find out the information

Choose your topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service) & select your one to two themes

Research and write the assignment…

Introduction

Part 1 – critical review of literature on chosen theme

Part 2 – organisational application

Part 3 – commentary on the fit between theory and practice

Conclusion

References

Appendices

More detail on each of these sections is included in the presentations I mention above. On the presentations I have also added links to study skills and support from the librarian. Everything you need is there.

We hope you have a great Christmas break and a happy 2023.
