ompt: Review the Hughes, et al. text, the Blackaby & Blackaby text, and assigned journal articles. Determine a minimum of two constructs (dependent and independent variable) and complete a literature review. o Requirements: 12-14 page research paper (3000-3500 words). Page length does not include Title Page or Reference Page(s). The paper, including citations, references, and general format will be APA compliant. o Contents of Final Paper: The final paper will include the elements of a literature review with the following general outline. ▪ Abstract (typically write this last) ▪ Introduction ▫ Introduce your topic. ▫ Outline the general topic area you will be discussing in the paper. ▫ Why is the topic important/relevant (other researchers in the field, practitioners, others)? ▫ What is the specific scope of your research interest? ▫ Purpose or research question(s)? o Theoretical foundation for the variables you are presenting in the paper. For instance, if I’m looking at two different types of justice and proposing a relationship with employee engagement, this section would separately look at the theoretical foundations for justice (and the two types) and employee engagement. o You are demonstrating (1) you are familiar with the research that has already been done in this general area and (2) you have found a gap or area in the research that is lacking…an area that hasn’t been researched at all or very little (advancing the literature).
