If you do not have a current employer you may use the provided alternative assignment.\u00a0One\u00a0single organization must be used for the entire paper.\u00a0Thus,\u00a0whatever organization you use for the hiring analysis must also be used for the evaluation analysis.\u00a0You are not permitted to use two or more organizations (e.g, one company for application analysis, one government agency for interview analysis, one company for evaluation analysis, etc.). One topic organization is required and it must be used for the entire paper.<\/p>\n<p>Purpose:\u00a0Employee selection and assessment\u00a0are important responsibilities for all managers. When done poorly,\u00a0significant problems can arise for managers, those they supervise, and the organization. This assignment gives you an opportunity to: a) complete a thorough, thoughtful, and objective analysis of\u00a0the process and methods used for\u00a0selection and performance assessment in an organization; b) identify strengths and areas that may need improvement; and b)\u00a0make preliminary recommendations based on your analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Process Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Research:\u00a0Complete the assigned readings and at least two additional relevant scholarly articles you will use and cite as\u00a0references in your report. \u00a0Simply selecting an &#8220;academic article&#8221;\u00a0in\u00a0a library database\u00a0does not\u00a0guarantee the work\u00a0has benefited from blind review by scholarly experts.\u00a0You should check the credentials of the authors whose work you are citing\u00a0and see whether\u00a0the articles have\u00a0have\u00a0been cited by others. You should complete your research in week 8.<\/p>\n<p>2. Analysis and Diagnosis:<\/p>\n<p>1) Identify and evaluate the dominant methods used in your workplace, or one with which you are familiar, to select people for jobs. Examine whether:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The interviews, tests, and\/or other selection procedures are\u00a0reliable and valid.<\/li>\n<li>The methods\u00a0used pose any ethical, legal, or practical\u00a0issues that\u00a0could present problems for managers and\/or the organization.<\/li>\n<li>Methods might need to be adjusted given the increasingly diverse, multicultural, and geographical dispersed workforce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>2) Identify and analyze the\u00a0performance appraisal\u00a0program used in your organization. Questions to guide your analysis include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is the program formally or informally applied? Note that even when there is no formal appraisal system decisions are made about pay, promotions, and terminations and these are\u00a0generally influenced by an assessment of performance.<\/li>\n<li>Are there clearly articulated and well communicated goals for the appraisal? [Note: These may be both the formally articulated goals and those you believe will be important. Offer a brief explanation of and support for each goal, relying where appropriate on insights gleaned from seminar readings.]<\/li>\n<li>Is there a relationship between the strategic goals of the organization and standards used for evaluating individual performance?<\/li>\n<li>Is there evidence of criterion contamination or deficiencies?<\/li>\n<li>Are there measures in place to ensure reliability?<\/li>\n<li>Are there any legal issues the organization might want or need to consider? Explain your reasoning. Note that all systems have the potential to introduce ethical and sometimes even legal concerns, in design and\/or in implementation.<\/li>\n<li>Who\u00a0is involved in conducting\u00a0the appraisals (supervisors, self, subordinates, peer, team, customer, all of these) and what are the pros and cons of this approach? Cite references to support your analysis and conclusions.<\/li>\n<li>Does the program meet best practice standards for appraisals including training to eliminate common rating errors and ensure sound feedback methods?<\/li>\n<li>Which specific method from your research into appraisal\u00a0methods\u00a0most closely matches the one in use in your organization and what is your support for this conclusion?<\/li>\n<li>What are the relative strengths and limitations of this method and what are the practical implications\u00a0for your organization and managers?\u00a0Note any differences between policy and actual practice and consider why these exist. (Note: Be sure to refer to information gleaned from the work of scholarly experts when undertaking this assessment of the method you are examining.)<\/li>\n<li>Does\u00a0the method\u00a0used\u00a0limit the organization\u2019s ability to foster diversity and operate effectively in a multicultural global marketplace? Explain and support your reasoning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Conclusions and\u00a0Recommendations:\u00a0Based on your critical analysis, identify changes you believe might be made to improve how your organization manages employee selection and appraisal. Each recommendation must be derived from your research and analysis and must be supported by a well reasoned argument and references to the literature. If you have observed a difference between the stated organizational goals, policies, and what happens in practice you should be sure to address this in your recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Reflections:\u00a0Reflect on lessons you take from your analysis as a current or future manager or leader in this organization or industry. Consider the implications for your need to ensure performance and commitment of all those for whom you will be responsible.<\/p>\n<p>5)\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Write and submit your report:<\/p>\n<p>a)\u00a0Word count range =\u00a01,800 to 2,000 words not including cover page, reference list or executive summary. \u00a0Points will be deducted if papers significantly exceed the word count limitation. \u00a0Be sure to use word count before submitting your paper.<\/p>\n<p>b)\u00a0Your report should address the above questions and should recognize, integrate, and cite relevant theories, concepts, and ideas from the readings and your research. Include a maximum 250 word executive summary, an introduction, conclusion, and properly APA-formatted list of references.<\/p>\n<p>In the introduction be sure to include\u00a0a\u00a0succinct narrative description of your organization and position. You do not need to give the specific name of your organization if you prefer to keep that confidential but you should give sufficient information (for example, the industry and nature of the business) so the context can be understood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Include page numbers on all pages<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please note that because this is an advanced research project, the quality of your research counts for 15% of the grade. Be sure to incorporate a\u00a0minimum of two\u00a0articles from scholarly journals.Incorporating an article into your paper means more than simply quoting and citing it. \u00a0You need to demonstrate that you understand the point the authors are making and can apply their ideas to the unique circumstances of the workplace practices that are the subject of your paper.<\/p>\n<p>Adhering to word count limit, which is 2,000 words, not counting the reference list and the cover page. \u00a0The word count does not include the 250 word executive summary, but your executive summary should not exceed 250 words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Employee Selection and Performance Appraisal Deliverable:\u00a0Submit an analysis of the employee selection and performance\u00a0appraisal\u00a0methods used in your workplace or in one with which you are familiar.
