Workshop Three – 3.5 Dropbox Page 1 of 4 Workshop Three – 3.5 Dropbox Annotated Bibliography Print this page Introduction and Alignment
This individual assignment provides you with an opportunity to conduct research about human resource
management (HRM) topics. Although a variety of topics may be researched, emphasis will be on fulfilling
workshop outcomes. Two annotated bibliography entries are to be completed in each workshop,
Workshop Two through Workshop Four; so that by the end of the course, you will have a collection totaling
six annotated bibliography entries. The purpose is to expand your research experience, increase your
learning in a variety of areas of HRM, and compile a bibliographical database which may be used to
support the capstone project in ADM-495 Seminar in Business as well as personal and professional
interests.
Upon completion of this assignment you should be able to:
• Integrate the concepts of performance appraisal with an understanding of those same or similar
concepts from a Christian worldview.
• Explore the process for conducting a needs assessment to identify and establish priorities regarding
HRD activities.
• Review applicable federal and state laws and regulations related to HRD activities and discuss ways
to ensure that HRD programs are compliant with those laws and regulations.
• Evaluate and further develop a performance appraisal process (e.g., instruments, ranking and rating
scales, relationship to compensation, frequency).
• Examine the development, implementation and evaluation of performance management programs
and procedures (e.g., goal setting, job rotations, and promotions).
• Identify the ways to develop, select, implement and evaluate programs (e.g., flexible work
arrangements, diversity initiatives, repatriation) to meet the unique needs of employees.
• Demonstrate how to evaluate effectiveness of employee training programs through the use of
metrics (e.g., participant surveys, pre- and post-testing). Resources

Bisignani and Brizee (2011), contributors to the Purdue Online Writing Lab, explain in very clear terms why
writing an annotated bibliography can be very beneficial for the researcher. Included is a detailed
explanation of how to write an annotated bibliography. That information could not be provided in this
document because of copyright laws, but you may access all information by going to the Purdue OWL
website through the following direct link: Annotated Bibliographies.
For this assignment, each individual annotation entry within each workshop annotated bibliography
submission document should follow the basic outline reflected below to be sure to obtain the required
content areas. The Purdue OWL example provides a partial depiction of the intended format. The actual
content to be addressed, however, differs somewhat from that shown on the Purdue OWL website, as
detailed in the outline below.
The following is an example of a suggested annotated bibliography outline when using an article obtained
through the OCLS database without a doi designation. The first paragraph is a summary of the article, the
second paragraph is an application of the article to the workplace and/or profession of human resource http://vizedhtmlcontent.next.ecollege.com/(NEXT(ab88dc91724f4eb98b5113292c9d292f)… 1/31/2017 Workshop Three – 3.5 Dropbox Page 2 of 4 management, and the third paragraph is a reflection of the relevance of the article to you and your
interests.

Paragraph One: Summarize the article. Name and define the topic(s). Identify key points made in the
article.
Paragraph Two: Explain why this topic is relevant to human resource management. Make the
connections:
1. Correlate the topic to one or more of the current workshop outcomes.
2. Identify any new or reinforced concepts that tie to or integrate with the textbook(s) or other sources
used in this course or prior courses. State the implications of the topic or topics from a Christian
worldview (be sure to include connection to actual Scripture).
Paragraph Three: Provide your analysis and opinion of the topic. What areas are capable of immediate
application, either personally or professionally? Identify areas of agreement or disagreement? What was
your favorite quote and/or what new terms may be added to your growing lexicon? List questions that
remain for future inquiry. What topic or resource lead(s) did the article provide for which you have further
interest in researching (e.g., a referenced article, website, film, YouTube clip, or book)?
Note: Annotated bibliography entries are written in block paragraph form using single spacing, as is
illustrated in the Purdue OWL example. The reason is that it provides a condensed reference format for
ease of reference at a later date. When writing your annotated bibliography, do not include the paragraph
designations: Paragraph One, Paragraph Two, Paragraph Three. These were used above to better
illustrate the required format for the bibliographies. Bibliographies make use of paraphrasing. The only
actual direct quote that should be included in your annotation is the one used to describe your favorite
quote as indicated in the Paragraph Three description above. The following Purdue OWL website provides
useful information about the importance of paraphrasing, the six steps to achieve effective paraphrasing,
and examples: Paraphrase: Write It in Your Own Words.
The actual reference source should be cited using proper APA formatting, and shown as a kind of header
above the three paragraphs, as depicted immediately above. Instructions
1. Review the topic of annotated bibliographies on the Purdue OWL site listed below. Be sure to read
through the entire segment, to include definitions, purpose, formatting and examples of APA style
annotated bibliographies. The Purdue OWL website location is: Annotated Bibliographies.
2. Review the topic of paraphrasing on the Purdue OWL site listed below. Be sure to read through the
entire segment, to include definition, significance, the six steps for effective paraphrasing and
examples of paraphrasing. The Purdue OWL website location is: Paraphrase: Write It in Your Own
Words.
3. Select two different learning outcome areas to research– selecting two research topics from the
assignment learning outcomes listed in the introduction to this assignment (see above) after “you
should be able to”. For each workshop, use only the outcomes applicable to that workshop when
selecting research topics.
a. The first outcome in every workshop is a faith integration outcome which integrates concepts
of the workshop with an understanding of those same or similar concepts from a Christian
worldview.
b. This outcome will be part of Paragraph Two in the two individual annotated bibliography
entries, as noted in the content requirements for the Paragraph 2 above. However, you may
also select an entire article that specifically integrates Christian worldview as well for one of
the required annotated bibliography entries.
4. Research articles are to be at least three to five pages in length. Select research articles from any
journal identified in the select journal listing shown below. Only those journals listed may be used
for obtaining research articles. Any one of the following journals may be retrieved electronically
through IWU’s Off-Campus Library Service (OCLS) site: www.indwes.edu/ocls, with preference for http://vizedhtmlcontent.next.ecollege.com/(NEXT(ab88dc91724f4eb98b5113292c9d292f)… 1/31/2017 Workshop Three – 3.5 Dropbox 5. 6.

For each of three workshops, Workshop Two through Workshop Four, you will complete a total of
two annotated bibliographies, comprising a course total of six bibliographies. Read the articles; then
write all two annotated bibliography entries. Include both bibliography entries in a single submission
document.
The annotated bibliographies are to be written using proper APA 6 edition format and proper
mechanics. Refer to the assignment rubric. A title page is required. A reference page is not
required because the reference information is to head each bibliography.
Before submitting the individual assignment, thoroughly edit for APA and mechanics and to be sure
that all requirements have been met.
When you have completed your assignment, save a copy for yourself and submit a copy to your
instructor using the Dropbox. Assessment Criteria
