ORGB 601 – Individual Written Assignment Brief No. 2 3

Step 1. Research the Assignment Topics and Subtopics:

Finding Relevant Information:

There is a significant amount of resources to draw from and should include the

following: Note: Google should not be your first port of call. UCW Library – on shelf

and academic online resources should be your first post of call.

See Core Textbook and other Texts books on Organisational Behaviour and Human

Resources Management.

- On Line and On Shelf Journals, preferably peer reviewed.

- Online Databases and Portals which contains many relevant OB peer reviewed

journals.

- Set up a “Google Alert” or a “Journal Article Alert” Updates” to get information

on a particular topic be mailed to you on a regular basis.

- Secondary References: chase up relevant references listed in the Footnotes &

Bibliographies of Journal Articles and at the back of Textbooks.

- Also consider YouTube and Social Media searches.

So, use the various academic sources and resources at your disposal such ad UCW

physical and online library and the various academic databases to find relevant

information including peer reviewed journal articles. Ensure you cite each source

correctly using the APA style. Read generally on the topic first starting with your core

textbook and then funnel your research into the specifics and micro-aspects of the

topic(s).

Suggested Key Concepts and Literature Search:

- Review the various models of job design.

- Review the various work behaviour attitudes that manifest at work and their link with

job design.

- Reflect on what makes a good job

- Review motivation theory and job design

Step 2: Write Up the Assignment using the Suggested Format.

The 2 S’s: Substance and Style:

Substance and Body of Assignment:

A) Drawing on current literature and research discuss the importance of job design

in creating a committed and engaged workforce.

B) Choose a company that you would like to work for when you have completed your

studies. From their Job Vacancies website, select one of their advertised positions and

analyse it in terms of job design and a possible good place you would like to work.

This is not rigid but the assignment should include the following:

ORGB 601 – Individual Written Assignment Brief No. 2 4

Section 1 Introduction

(a short introduction about the aim and purpose of the assignment and what you hope to

achieve. Signpost what you are going to do in the assignment and so lead the reader)

200 words approx.)

studies. From their Job Vacancies website, select one of their advertised positions and

analyse it in terms of job design and a possible good place you would like to work.

Section 4:

Conclusion (shot conclusion that summarizes your main findings and takeaways from

the assignment - 250 words approx.

References/Bibliography (at least 10 references)

Assignment Format and Checklist:

Word Count: The assignment should be approx. be between a minimum of 2,500 and a

maximum of 3,000 words maximum, with a 10% leeway either side of the min and max.

This excludes any footnotes, references, bibliography or appendices. The word count

should be indicated on the pro-forma cover page.

Format:

The assignment should be presented in word processed format adhering to the following

guidelines:

- Essay style or report style formal structure.

- Word only format, not PDF

- See the APA Template on the Library section.

- Clear paragraphing with headings and sub-headings.

- Use of plenty of white space, breaking up the text with visual aids, diagrams,

graphs, etc. If too bulky, put in Appendix.

- Double line spacing

(at end of this document) which includes the Assignment Title, Student Number, Year,

Course Part & Program and Word Count and which verifies that you have acknowledged

all references, the work is yours and that you have not plagiarised. There is a Word

Version of this Cover Sheet on Moodle which you can type fill. To prevent possible

ORGB 601 – Individual Written Assignment Brief No. 2 5

inflation of your Turnitin Comparability score it is best to fill in the Cover Sheet and

Screen Shot a copy as an attachment to your final assignment.

Follow the APA (American Psychological Association) citation and reference style.

Review the various aspect of APA of the APA (American Psychological Association)

citation and reference style from UCW resources and elsewhere on the web.

Given that you will being completing numerous assignments and essays and research

projects during the course of your degree, then you should give very serious

consideration to using some Bibliographical Software such as EndNote which

automatically formats the reference into the required style, such as APA or Harvard. It

also allows you to automatically import references and full citation from a database or

google scholar directly into the software database. You can then use Write and Cite in

MS Word to reference correctly in the body of the essay and also to automatically create

a bibliography at the end of your assignment. It also serves as a depository where you

can also upload and save full text Word and Pdf files, which are linked to a reference.

As it normally comes in both desktop and web versions, you can also access from

anywhere. It saves hours of time and once you start building your library you have it for

life and for all courses and assignments you may complete in the future.

Most bibliographic software requires a paid license fee but there are a few free ones also

such as Mendeley. https://www.mendeley.com/?interaction_required=true

Values: Level 1: 10%, Level 2: 50% and Level 3: 100%

Grade Point and Letter Grades:

DESCRIPTOR GRADE

Exceptional: Normally achieved by a small minority of students who have consistently exceeded performance expectations in all evaluation criteria.

90-100% A+ (4.33)

Excellent: Demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of subject matter and achievement of learning outcomes at high levels of performance in almost all of the evaluation criteria.

85-89% A (4.00)

Very good: Demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the subject matter and achievement of learning outcomes at well above average levels of performance in most of the course evaluation criteria.

80-84% A- (3.67)

Good: Demonstrates substantial knowledge and understanding of the subject matter and achievement of learning outcomes at average to above average performance levels in most of the course evaluation criteria

76-79% B+ (3.33)

72-75% B (3.00)

Satisfactory: Demonstrates sufficient knowledge and understanding of the subject matter and achievement of learning outcomes at average levels of performance in most of the course evaluation criteria.

68-71% B- (2.67)

ORGB 601 – Individual Written Assignment Brief No. 2 9

Pass: Demonstrates acceptable knowledge and understanding of the subject matter and achievement of learning outcomes at low to average level of performance in many of the course evaluation criteria.

60-67% C (2.00)

Fail: Unacceptable performance in most or all of the course evaluation criteria

0-59% F (0)

Given the nature of “relative grading” (competition), your grades will normally follow

a normal distribution curve which means Grade A and A+ will be very rare and few as

will Fail Grades.

Step 4. Complete and Sign the Academic Integrity Declaration Form.

Please fully complete the Assignment Cover Sheet including the Academic Integrity

Form. (a copy is on the last page of this brief.) An electronic signature is acceptable or

you may physically sign and scan. Attach a signed copy of this cover sheet to the final

document before final submission.

The signed declaration verifies that you have acknowledged all references, the work is

yours and that you have not plagiarized. There is a Word Version of this Cover Sheet

on Moodle which you can type fill. To prevent possible inflation of your Turnitin

Comparability score it is best to fill in the Cover Sheet and Screen Shot a completed and

signed copy of it as an attachment to your final assignment.

Policy on Academic Integrity:

Please ensure that you read the section on Academic Misconduct policy in the University

Canada West website located in MyUCW under the Registrar section. Plagiarism and

lack of academic integrity: includes, but is not limited to:

• Submission of another person’s work as original;

• Inadequate attribution given to an author or creator whose work is incorporated in

the student's work; and

• Paraphrase or use of material verbatim from a source without sufficient

acknowledgement.

Falsifying Materials: includes, but is not limited to:

• Fraudulently manipulating laboratory processes, electronic data, or research data

in order to achieve desired results;

• Submitting work prepared by someone else (e.g., commercially prepared essays)

as one's own;

• Citing a source from which material was not obtained; and

• Submitting false records, information or data, in writing or orally.

Cheating: includes, but is not limited to:

• Submitting the same work for different courses without prior permission from the

faculty member;

ORGB 601 – Individual Written Assignment Brief No. 2 10

• Copying another person’s answers or other work;

• Sharing information or answers when doing take-home assignments, tests, and

examinations except where the instructor has authorized collaborative work;

• Having any unauthorized materials or equipment in an examination or test;

• Submitting an assignment completed (or partially completed) by someone else;

• Falsifying or making up data or bibliographic information;

• Impersonating a candidate in an examination or test, or being assigned the results

of such impersonation;

• Reproducing, sharing or otherwise making unauthorized copies of UCW materials

in any format;

• Using technological means such as cell phones, data storage units and other

electronic devices without prior permission from the faculty; and

• Assisting others or attempt to help others to engage in any conduct described

above or any other activities prohibited by UCW.

Penalties for Academic Misconduct:

Penalties for academic misconduct include, but are not limited to:

• At the course level:

o Written reprimand for retention in the student file (no transcript entry)

o Repetition of the assignment or completion of a different, but similar, assignment

(no transcript entry)

o Failing grade for the assignment (no transcript entry)

o Failing grade for the course (recorded on transcript)

• At the program level:

o Disciplinary probation for a defined period with written documentation retained

in the student’s file (transcript notation for period of probation)

• At the University level:

o Suspension (permanent transcript entry)

o Expulsion (permanent transcript entry)

o Rescission of degrees granted (permanent transcript entry)

Step 5. Put the Assignment Through Turnitin With a Similarity Score of 20%

Or Less.

Very Important: A Similarity Score of Greater than 30% Will Result in An

Automatic Fail and Referral of the Student to the Dean of Academic Studies for

Investigation and Possible Sanction.

This course requires you to submit your assignment in electronic form. The electronic

material will be submitted to a service to which UCW subscribes, called Turnitin. This

is a service that checks textual material for originality. Turnitin.com is used increasingly

in North American universities. For additional information please visit:

https://turnitin.com/static/resources/documentation/turnitin/sales/Turnitin_FAQ_Questi

ons_and_Answers.pdf

ORGB 601 – Individual Written Assignment Brief No. 2 11

Having competed the Academic Integrity Certificate in Step No. 1 and you are still

unsure what plagiarism means, then please visit www. Plagiarism.org

The Turnitin Company has recently re-launched Plagiarism.org, an educational and

informative resource on plagiarism and best practices for ensuring originality in written

work. This site, geared toward students and writers in general, offers a wealth of

information specifically about plagiarism, as well as information on how to properly

attribute and cite sources. On Plagiarism.org, you'll also find an "Ask the Experts"

feature, FAQs, and a resource section with downloadable handouts. Also please visit

the UCW Library website.

On the Moodle page for this course part and assignment you will find the location where

you upload the assignment to Turnitin.

If you look at the assignment of a previous student who took this course, even just as a

reference, this is still plagiarism and cheating. Always use your own words and your

own voice as its your assignment and your ideas only. Even if your English is not

perfect it is always best to put in your own words rather than risk breaching academic

integrity. During exam, you’re not allowed to look at other people’s work under any

circumstances and the same rules apply for assignments.

Consequences and Penalties of Plagiarism:

• Explicit:

o 1st Offense: Zero on the assignment and one strike on your permanent student

record.

o 2nd Offense: Automatic failure of the course

o 3rd Offense: Expelled from the school

• Implicit

o UCW is a relatively small academic community of faculty and students where

everyone knows each other. Any blemish or damage to your reputation and your

personal and academic integrity will impact your professional standing and future

academic and professional options.

o If you are found guilty of cheating, you will be labelled as a “cheater” and you will

carry this reputation for the rest of your stay in this school and it may appear on your

academic record/transcript when looking for academic references in order to pursue

further studies and or when seeking employment.

Troubleshooting Turnitin:

If you encounter difficulties with your Turnitin submission, try one of these two

strategies (solves it 99% of the time)

1. Wait an hour or two or three and try submitting again

2. Try using a different web browser or computer.

ORGB 601 – Individual Written Assignment Brief No. 2 12

Important: Please note the Instructor has no control or authority over the Turnitin system

so they are unable to help you if you have trouble with submission. You must contact

the IT department. So, allow sufficient time for any obstacles or delays. It is wise to

submit your assignment couple days before the due date so you still have time to fix it if

you experience submission problems. If you submit your assignment at the last moment

and experience submission problems, there is nothing the instructor can do and you will

incur a penalty for a late submission. If you email an Instructor on the weekends with

problems, they will not be able to reply to you until Monday. So, resolve issues in a

timely manner before the weekend and during the office hours of the Instructor and

UCW IT Department.

Turnitin Similarity Score 20%:

You may upload your assignment up to three times maximum, before the final

submission deadline so that you are below the 20% similarity score.

An assignment with a comparability score of greater than 20% will be penalized. So

please ensure you have a score of 20% or less before final submission.

Between 20 to 30%: A deduction of up to 30% of your grade will be made depending

on the case.

Over 30% is an automatic fail of the assignment and this will be reported to the

Head of Department for review and further action and possible sanctions.

If you use Grammerly as an initial check for similarity score, remember that Turnitin

will add a minimum of extra 15%-20% to the score you get from Grammerly so don’t

rely on it or trust the result.

If you believe you completed an honest assignment but still went over 20%? Then you

need to revisit your refences. If you did an inadequate job of researching for

references, you will end up including many references that other students have already

used and this will increase your similarity score. There are millions of articles

available to enable you to complete a robust and rigorous literature review and a

systematic research process. Consult the UCW Librarians for help. They are the

experts on finding resources and hey are they to help you and make you a better

researcher.

If you go over 20% regardless of the reasons, penalties will apply and if you exceed

30% you will automatically fail the assignment.

Tips on Lowering Similarity Scores

1. No direct quotes from references (not even one sentence). Always paraphrase

everything and include proper citation. It is only fair that you acknowledge and give

credit to where you got the idea or concept from.

a. In other words, DON’T COPY ANY QUOTES from the references.

b. DO NOT directly copy the assignment questions to your assignment as this will

increase your similarity score.

2. Carry out a comprehensive review in researching so your references are not going to

overlap with other students’ assignments,

a. If it only took you 30 minutes to find a particular reference, chances are very

ORGB 601 – Individual Written Assignment Brief No. 2 13

high that previous students already used those so if you use the same reference, it

will increase your similarity score. That is why Google Scholar should not be your first

port of call.

b. Avoid searching through Google and even Google Scholar and don’t include online

news articles and magazines.

c. Go to the library (not just our school but also other libraries) and search for

books

d. Search for online for peer reviewed journal articles from scholarly portals and

databases such as EBSCO and JSTOR

e. Sign up for “Journal Article Alerts” from such journal article publishers as “Wiley

Online”.

Step 6. Submit the Final Assignment Online Via Student Portal (Moodle) by

the Stipulated Deadline.

The stipulated deadline for this assignment is on the cover page as well as in the

syllabus. Please double check the date and submit on time. Put the date in your cell

phone calendar. Please build sufficient time into your planning to allow for Turnitin to

produce a comparability report and % in time. Try creating an early personal deadline

to allow the assignment to ‘breathe’ and review before final submission.

Submit on the Moodle page for this course section, on the Turnitin link.

Late Assignments will be penalized at a rate of 10% of the final assignment grade, per

day.

Start Your Assignment NOW! - One Step at a Time! Only 5 Steps!

Do not wait until your assessment topic is covered in a lecture, if applicable, as it may

be too late. So, start your essay NOW with planning and information gathering. Work

on it every day, even if only for 15 minutes.

Be pro-active in your planning and not to rely on JIT (Just in Time) or last-minute

syndrome which is often part of the deadline-procrastination doom loop. Please read

these articles below to gain more insight into the psychology of procrastination and the

negatives of a last-minute approach to work.
