UNIT 4 LITERATURE REVEIW ASSIGNMENT *Please note when you conduct your literature review, please do not conduct an annotated bibliography where you notate the reference first and write about the article below it with no in-text citations.    Sample Annotated Bibliography Entries (I do not want to see this)   Waite, L., Goldschneider, F., & Witsberger, C. (1986). Nonfamily living and the erosion of traditional family orientations among young adults. American Sociological Review, 51, 541-554. The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result of nonfamily living.   *You should analyze the article using in-text citations. Please reference anything that is not common knowledge. Your reference citation should be included on your reference page following APA format 7th edition.     Below is an example of what a literature review should look like. (This is what I should see for your submission)   Vroom (1959) developed the expectancy-valence theory, which he later called the expectancy motivation theory (Vroom, 1964). The expectancy motivation theory suggests that employees will exhibit positive performance behaviors when they believe that their work will result in certain rewards (Vroom, 1964). Building upon Vroom’s expectancy motivation theory, Gilbert (1978, 2013) published his behavioral engineering model that provided a motivational foundation for the inputs that can lead to specific employee motives. Gilbert identified three categories covering information, instrumentation, and motivation. Within the manager’s scope of control are data, resources, and incentives. Within the employee’s scope of control are knowledge, capacity, and motives. Gilbert argued that if managers improved the availability of data access, provided the tools and equipment, or incentives to perform, employees would exhibit a change in willingness to participate. Likewise, if employees have a change in knowledge or capacity to perform, employees would exhibit a change in willingness to participate (Gilbert, 1978, 2013). Vroom’s (1964) expectancy motivation theory and Gilbert’s (1978) behavioral engineering model both align with this study exploring the strategies that department store managers use to motivate their sales associates.
