Resources

On-line scholarly journals from reputable databases must be consulted. Information from freely available webpages is not always reputable and will not be accepted as source documents. It is important to make sure that you access RECENT material relevant to HR practice in the current day.

Academic sources can be found via the ECU library website. At the beginning of each semester the ECU library run a range of research workshops and these can be found at https://www.ecu.edu.au/library/services/training.html In addition there are many good online videos and podcasts available at https://www.ecu.edu.au/library/services/podcasts.html

Two good databases for Human Resource Management are Emerald and ABI. These can be found via ECU library database links https://kx7gx4pm8t.search.serialssolutions.com/. Another option for searching is www.googlescholar.com.

There are also a number of good books available on each of the topics. Please note, whilst your textbook is a useful starting point for this assignment, it is expected that you will conduct significant research prior to writing this synopsis.
