INFLUENCES ON EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
Assignment Overview
Signature Assignment: Information Literacy, Emphasized Level
View this video on information literacy.
As mentioned previously, there are many influences on employee relations in organizations. One of the most relevant today is the amount of information that is available.
There are numerous sources of information available to us as students, employees, labor union representatives, HRM professionals, and business managers. Before we use information that we have found, however, it is important that we evaluate its authority and appropriateness.
Case Assignment
In this assignment you will be evaluating sources and developing an Annotated Bibliography of your findings.
Review the following articles related to information literacy and others you have found and make a comprehensive list of important factors needed to evaluate sources. (You will need to include this list as an Appendix in your Annotated Bibliography.)
Herring, J. E. (2011). Chapter 3: Evaluating websites, Figure 3.1, p. 38. In Improving students’ web use and information literacy: a guide for teachers and teacher librarians. Facet Publishing. Available in the Trident Online Library, EBSCO eBook Collection.
Lack, C. W., & Rousseau, J. (2016). Chapter 4: What is critical thinking? In Critical thinking, science, and pseudoscience: Why we can’t trust our brains. Springer Publishing Company. Available in the Trident Online Library, EBSCO eBook Collection.
Find three valid sources related to workplace relations from the Trident Online Library and one valid source from the web/internet. Use sources that are outside of module readings that you have not utilized previously in other MSHRM courses. They should be sources “brand new” to you.
List the source citations in APA format under the heading Annotated Bibliography.
Under each source citation, in paragraph form:
Briefly discuss what the source covers and its importance to the topic of workplace relations.
and
Analyze specifically how the factors listed in your Appendix apply to the source (i.e., carefully critique the source using those factors).
Submit your assignment by the module due date.
Information Literacy
As you may recall, the first signature assignment addressing information literacy at the “introduced” level was located in the ETH501 Business Ethics, Case 1 Assignment.
Then, in MGT516 Legal Implications in HRM, information literacy was assessed at the “reinforced” level in Case 1.
Now, in this HRM522 Case 1 assignment, your information literacy skills will be further developed reaching the “emphasized” level.
These three assignments build upon each other and aim to offer you the opportunity to enhance and practice your information literacy skills at the graduate level.
The grading rubric for this HRM522 assignment has been developed to measure student success in meeting the HRM522 Case 1 expectations related to information literacy.
Assignment Expectations
Demonstrate critical thinking and analysis of reference sources drawing upon your background reading and research.
Information Literacy: Evaluate resources and identify resources that provide reliable, substantiated information.
