Wk5: Mini Lit Review

Research this week’s discussion topic: Employee satisfaction and retention: How to keep employees engaged, motivated, and on staff OR Effective leadership of exhausted employees with trust issues. You may research either topic, but do not try to do both! You will write a Mini Lit Review using at least four quality articles on the topic for this week. Your Mini Lit Review must include the following:

  • An introduction that states your thesis and communicates the organization of the mini lit review
  • An analysis of the topics, concepts, and theories central to your topic
  • A discussion of the themes, debates, or gaps in the literature
  • An analysis of how the articles apply to the current issue, including a critical evaluation of the premise, methodology, contributions, and limitations of each source
  • A conclusion that summarizes the key points, discusses the implications, and ensures that your readers understand the key takeaways from your review
  • Full bibliographic information (in APA format)

The body of each week’s mini lit review should be 4-6 pages in length (in APA format, double-spaced, 12 pt font).
