Please complete a research paper using either one or both of the recent readings from the HBR (2011) textbook that best relates to the research you are presenting about your topic. You should frame this paper from the lens of the recent readings from one of the articles, How (Un) Ethical Are You or Discipline of Team, as presented in HBR (2011). Please clearly present the relationship to a problem or issue for your selected topic area.
This is our final shorter research paper before the course final paper due April 26. Be mindful to craft this work and you can build upon the research for your final paper.
Select one issue around your topic area about either ethics or effective discipline of teams. Provide the following:
Introduction - the topic and research question(s) for this paper.
Title Page
Introduction
Introduce the topic being explored from your selected topic and present a relationship between the coursework and your research. Please use academic databases, peer-review journal articles, and please go beyond open web sources.
In the introduction or issues section, please be clear about the relationship to the coursework.
Issue/Problem Statement
What is the issue or problem being researched? Perhaps include who cares and why...
What is the significant purpose of the work?
Literature Review
A brief review of the literature and supporting data to provide an analysis and "your" conclusion - making sense of the issue and presenting scholarly research and providing your stance to demonstrates a clear understanding of the coursework. You may use new sources or existing material from prior course readings, discussions, media files or your own research. This paper should not exceed three (3) pages. The title and reference page do not count.
A review of the literature must use include two (2) "new" academic sources (use may use sources from the discussion thread articles), and also include at least one (1) from the textbook or assigned videos for a total of four (4) references. This is not an annotated bibliography, it is a review of the literature you research and placed in a logical narrative form. You may also use supporting articles provided in the coursework or from the discussion thread postings.
IDEAS: What are the findings in the research about how leadership approaches and motivational behavior drives key factors we learned about in the readings, such an ethical dilemma? How do these concepts of managing people relate to effectiveness in the workplace, perhaps to promote ethical behaviors or building teams?
Please approach the work in a manner that is relevant, makes sense, provides meaning to your work, and can help build up your work. There is no set guideline other than this section is a review of the literature that is conceptually the framework of the research from readings and artifacts to create an understanding of leadership and motivation from a scholarly view. In the summary section, you can discuss your views.
Summary - based on the research completed, what is one learning moment or discovery- an aha moment that was derived, and how can you use this new information - if at all. Were you able to learn and apply a logical analysis through the literature to support key findings? If so, what do you recommend for next steps?
The Research Paper 3 should not be more than three (3) pages and that does not include the title/reference page. Please read the assignment carefully for redundant sections, typos, and proper use of tenses. Please use the precision of citations and use APA. It is not about the number of pages, it is about the quality and clarity of work, and that an average reader who knows little about your topic area can walk away with more knowledge than prior to reading to work.
