U9A1-24 - Contrast equity theory with expectancy theory and apply these concepts to your own organization. See Details Below.

Hello,

I wanted to share some points with the class on preparing u09a1. These are just some final thoughts to help you refine the work you’ve been working on – they do not change the assignment in any way.

 This term, you have been working on HR related issues with a specific organization. The project has been somewhat iterative. You have been building onto materials to develop your final project. Not everything that you have done in earlier assignments will be in the final work (don’t just cut-and-paste previous materials into a single paper), however you will be integrating some elements of those works, then tying them all together. As this was an iterative project, you may integrate relevant materials from previous assignments into u09a1. Under University policy, any materials submitted in previous assignments that show as a match in TII will be acceptable (it is not plagiarism – you do not need to cite your previous assignments.

You will find that you have discussed much of this in-depth in previous assignments, and you have been provided feedback on many of these issues. In essence, you are writing a paper that states we have a new position. That position requires these KSAOs and will be carried out this way (Element 2). To ensure success, we need to use a rationale, best-practices approach to recruit people (Element 3). To keep these individuals, we need to meet their needs in terms of compensation and working conditions (Elements 4 and 5). Finally, once the individual is employed, we need to consider how to manage, support, and assess performance (Elements 5 and 6). We want to make sure that all the proposed approaches represent best practices, which means we need to tie it to theoretical-based models. This means everything needs to be tied to specific theories. And, as always, ensure materials are presented in a scholarly manner (Element 7).

ELEMENT 1: Element 1 recognizes that the final paper is a product you have been working on in previous assignments. Just ensure that any feedback on previous iterations, including those with writing and APA, have been addressed.

ELEMENT 2: You have been working on a new job for a new service within the organization. Provide insights into how the individual should carry out the work (supervision, collaboration, independent, etc.), tying your discussion to HR-related theories and best practices in the public sector.

ELEMENT 3: In a previous assignment, you developed a job description with KSAOs. Provide a discussion on differing strategies to recruit potential candidates, tying your discussion to HR-related theories and best practices in the public sector.

ELEMENT 4: Provide a discussion of how you would determine an appropriate compensation level (pay and benefits) for the new position, tying your discussion to HR-related theories and best practices in the public sector.

ELEMENT 5: Based upon the new position you have developed, consider how to manage performance. To do this, provide some insights into supervision level, needed policies, and how you might evaluate performance at work, tying your discussion to HR-related theories and best practices in the public sector.

ELEMENT 6: Try to provide several examples of specific criteria (something that can be measured in an objective manner) to assess performance, , tying your discussion to HR-related theories and best practices in the public sector.

ELEMENT 7: Please ensure that all materials are presented in a scholarly fashion using strong grammar, mechanics, punctuation, and APA format.

Again – these points are only designed to clarify the scoring guide. They do not change any of the elements. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
