Assignment: Human Resources Issues for Managers

Answer each question fully, using at least one outside source as well as the class text for EACH question's response. The majority of your response needs to be in your words, not simply quotations from outside sources. Include citations within your responses, and a reference section at the end of the test, all in APA format. You CAN use one specific outside source for more than one response if appropriate. You do need to answer all of the parts of the questions FULLY, but your entire document must be less than 2,500 words.

Question I. Discuss each of the major options for appraisal of employees fully (critical incidents method, MBO, narrative, graphic rating scale form, BARS, and ranking method). Finally, identify the one that you think is "best," and why you chose that option. Pick one and defend it; do not say it depends or that they all have their benefits and drawbacks.

Question II. Discuss the concept of comparable worth (NOT pay equity). Do you believe that it should be mandated by law? Why or why not? Give at least two specific, real-world examples supporting your side of the debate.

Question III. Discuss the common group incentive options (profit-sharing, gainsharing, ESOP, and stock options/stock purchasing plans), giving SPECIFIC examples of each and an example of each being used currently in the business world. Overall, if you could only use one type, which would you rather use? Why? Again, pick one and defend it.

Question IV. Discuss the primary causes of workplace violence.What SPECIFIC steps can managers take to help prevent workplace violence? Discuss two examples of past workplace violence in the U.S. that were not covered in our textbook, including the companies involved and the years of the events. How might each of those have been avoided or lessened, or were they inevitable?
