Human resource management (HRM) research and the investigation of Organizational Behavior are integral aspects of HRM as a profession, and of the academic aspect of HRM. The Department of Human Resource Management is collaborating with other departments in the Fox School and STHM to provide students with two options to further understanding of research in HRM. For each option, the grade is either an A (full credit) if a student completes the assignment satisfactorily, or an F (no credit) if not completed or unsatisfactory.
NO partial credit will be given; there is NO extra credit for doing both assignments.
Option 1: Participate in one (1) hour of HRM or Marketing studies conducted by Fox School of Business faculty. Some of the research studies or experiments can be completed online (at your convenience), while others will be conducted in a campus laboratory or classroom setting. Access to all studies is through this website: Detailed instructions for accessing the SONA-Systems website are provided below.
*** Please note that students should maintain THEIR OWN COPIES of documentation received from SONA showing that they have completed research credits. In the unlikely event that there is some discrepancy between what students think they have completed and the reporting from the system, students MUST be able to show this documentation to receive appropriate credit. ***
Option 2: Write a one (1) single-spaced page research paper summarizing one (1) scholarly article that used human subjects in the research. The article MUST have been published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel Psychology, Journal of Organizational Behavior, or the Journal of Management. Articles from journals OTHER THAN those noted will NOT BE ACCEPTED.
The full text of articles in these journals is available from the TU Library using TU Portal. When reading and reviewing the article, explain how human subjects were used in the research, and explain how the use of human subjects provided insight into how consumers think and behave. Attach a reference list in APA format (author(s), date, title of article, name of journal, volume, issue, pages). Papers must be submitted before the deadline as a Word document to SafeAssign, located on the Blackboard site for this course. Papers WILL be checked using anti-plagiarism component of SafeAssign.
To receive credit, 1) the article must come from one of the four journals listed above, 2) your summary must be at least one single-spaced page, 3) the summary must be in your own words (no plagiarism).
