Term Paper
For my term paper I will discuss on human resource labor relations. As I am a supervisor for my job I deal a lot with my labor relations when I comes to the associate I supervise and I would like to discuss their roles and responsibilities as that is a where I want to transfer next. I see that is a difficult job and would like to do research on that part of HR.
Your term paper will consist of completing and writing a paper resultant from a job analysis of an existing job (must be a real, existing and compensated job with a Dictionary of Occupational Titles code). The job analysis must be complete; a simple task analysis will not suffice. A complete job analysis includes a job description, occupational outlook, information from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, any applicable documentation, and a task analysis completed through observation and survey. The survey will simply consist of the task inventory, asking 4 or more job incumbents to rate each task on time spent and importance of all tasks. The appendix of your paper should include an analysis of the data collected through this survey. Please see the separate handout for a checklist to facilitate completion of the analysis and write-up. Note that students should begin early: Completion of this project will REQUIRE them to shadow a job incumbent for at least one complete work shift, as well as requiring incumbents (at least 4) to complete a survey (as explained above). Term paper expectations: The job analysis that you create for your class project should contain the following: Title Page in APA format Abstract Page in APA format One-paragraph brief description of the job Narrative of the things that you did (2-3 pages minimum, no maximum) Narrative of what you found (1-2 pages minimum, no maximum) Include the following information from O*Net (with appendices as necessary): 1. Relationship to other jobs 2. Sample of reported job titles 3. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities 4. Work Contexts 5. Wage and Employment Trends Complete job description (within appendices) List of tasks performed with the accompanying importance and time spent ratings (in appendices) · Make a table, labeled in APA format · Have an accompanying figure, labeled in APA format Any accompanying paperwork that you can get (within appendices) Reference Page in APA format with at least 5 sources that do not include your textbook or Wikipedia. At least 3 of these must be professional journal articles or books.
Students will complete a PowerPoint presentation that presents findings from the Job Analysis paper. Students will post the presentations on Thursday of Module 8 so that classmates can view them.
