HRM 547 Research Paper

This class examines a variety of performance management issues. You will pick a course related

topic to discuss, but one that is not specifically detailed in our text. You can choose a topic in the

text and expand on it. The objective is a detailed (but brief) exploration of a narrowly defined aspect

of Performance Management.

Examples to help guide you in choosing a topic include:

? Performance Appraisal Problems

? Ensuring Managers Have a Successful Appraisal

? Performance Development Planning

? Innovative Approach to Performance Management ? Employee Engagement Issues for a Certain Population (For example: identify a specific

group, such as millennials, those within 5 years of retirement, etc.)

You can be creative in choosing your topic and what you write about pertaining to this topic. You

might want to choose a topic that you are particularly interested in or have encountered outside of

this class.

Assume the reader (such as an undergraduate who has never taken a human resources course) knows

nothing about this topic and share your research on it. Depending on the topic, here are examples of

what you might specifically address:

? Why is it important? ? What have you learned? ? What are the critical issues? ? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this? ? What is the impact on the Human Resources’ function? ? What has been the shifting opinions surrounding this topic?

You have flexibility in the type of research paper you write. For example: your paper can be

informative (e.g. demonstrate your understanding of a topic, purely reflecting what information is

available), opinion related (e.g. taking a stance), problem solving (e.g. offering a solution), or any

combination.

The more specific you are, the better. Feel free to include examples that will strengthen or illustrate

your point.
