1. Applied Research Paper (evidence-based approach)
For this assignment (25% of the course grade), you are going to
“create” a comprehensive performance management and total
rewards system for an organization. Outline key aspects of such
a system, what it would look like (structure, etc.), what
processes would need to exist,
how
would it be designed, what kinds of metrics would be needed
for guidance, how it would adapt, etc. Consider prioritizing
based on real-world constraints…. and SUPPORTING your
ideas with research. Find at least 10 peer-reviewed journal
articles from the year 2000 to present (no magazines) that
support how you are using the course concepts to better
understand/explain the reasons why you would take total
rewards and performance management approaches you suggest.
In other words, find contemporary research that supports some
of the assertions you make, how concepts and theories are
integrated into the design of the rewards and performance
management systems, etc.
Write a paper according to the following guidelines:
There should be 1 paragraph summary (abstract).
You should have between 4 and 5 pages of text (double-spaced,
12 font or smaller, 1 inch margins all the way around).
Lastly, there should be 1 citation page (single space if needed to
fit it all on one page).
