Business practices: in what way would high performing work practices, benchmarking, best practices, or employee engagement be important? Important functions: what does the organisation need to consider in relation to the operational, financial, human resource, marketing, or sales functions of the business? 5 Assessment criteria and rubric = 30 marks Defining key terms and utilising the theories and concepts presented in Topics 1-5 (8 marks).

For example, increasing employee engagement will increase performance, customer satisfaction, profitability and productivity, and reduce employee turnover. Concept: this is an abstract idea that someone has named and defined. For example, in Reading 1, Topic 3 the concept of employee engagement is discussed. It is defined as the extent to which employees feel passionate about their jobs, are committed to the organisation, and put discretionary effort into their work. It has a cognitive, affective and behavioural component. 7 Meaning of words Contextual factors: are characteristics of the internal and external environment, such as structure, functions, environmental forces, risks, etc. Minimum: if you only use 12-16 references you will receive 1.5 out of 3 marks. Academic: refers to peer reviewed journal articles and university level texts; it does not refer to Wikipedia or general websites and magazines. APA referencing system: you must only use this referencing system in the body of the essay and in the reference list at the end. Ensure you familiarise yourself with it! Essay structure: discussed on the next slides. Appropriate conventions of academic writing: this is quite a formal style of writing discussed later. 8 Essays Have an introduction, body and conclusion. Must be written in paragraph form with full sentences. Generally do not have headings other than the title of the essay. If you do use a heading to delineate the introduction, body and conclusion make these headings creative! Do not contain tables or figures, these can be placed in the appendix but must be briefly discussed in the body. Your essay must be clearly referenced in-text to indicate the sources of information. It must also include an alphabetical reference list with full publication details that exactly match the in-text citations. 9 Essay structure Title page Introduction (10-15%) Background Aims/ objectives Scope Discussion (70-80%) Contextual factor/s and their impact Conclusion (10-15%) Reference list 10 Appropriate writing conventions Must be within the word limit (first word of introduction to last word of the conclusion). Write in paragraph form with full sentences. A paragraph is more than one sentence. Introduce a new topic in a new paragraph, don’t write overly long paragraphs. Make the first or last sentence the topic sentence. Write using formal academic language and specific Management and Business Context words, theories, concepts and terms. Avoid using casual conversational language. For example, instead of writing “it’s a good idea to think about . . .” write “an important consideration is . . ” Write in the third person not using “I”, “we”, “one”, “he/she”. 11 APA citation author prominent Direct quote example: Unterhalter (2007, p. 5) argues that “gender equality in schooling is an aspiration of global social justice.” Paraphrase example: Unterhalter (2007) suggests that equal treatment of the genders in education should be an issue of justice for every society. When paraphrasing, providing a page number is optional. 12 APA citation information prominent Direct quote example: It has been argued that “gender equality in schooling is an aspiration of global social justice” (Unterhalter, 2007, p. 5). Paraphrase example: Equal treatment of gender in education should be an aim of every society (Unterhalter, 2007). 13 APA page numbers Always give the page number for a direct quotation, or when referring to a specific diagram, table or chart. Again, when paraphrasing, providing a page number is optional. The word “page” is abbreviated to p. If there are two or more pages, use pp. For example: (Smith, 2012, p. 6), or (Smith, 2012, pp. 12-15). Always write the beginning and end page of the document in the reference list. But note that in the reference list this is written 12-15; there is no pp. 14 APA use of et al. For references with two authors, give both authors’ names in every in-text reference. For references with three, four or five authors, list all the authors’ names in your first in-text reference. In second and subsequent references to the same work, give only the first author’s name followed by ‘et al.’ For references with six or more authors, give only the first author’s name followed by ‘et al.’ in every in-text reference. Use “&” inside the brackets and “and” outside the brackets in a citation. 15 APA Journal article in reference list 16 APA books in reference list Russell-Bowie, D. (2005). MMADD about the arts!

It is considered serious misconduct at university and should be avoided at all times. Committing plagiarism can carry very serious penalties for students, including expulsion from the university. Past penalties include zero marks or a reduction of marks for an assignment. This reduction of marks on one assessment item has even lead to failure of the entire unit! TurnItIn is the first place that we look for when assessing plagiarism. This score may increase even after you submit your assignment as more comparisons are made between your work and other students’ work, journal articles or information on the www. 18 Plagiarism CQUniversity has a policy on plagiarism and you are strongly encouraged to familiarise yourself with it. Not having read the policy is no excuse when you are reported for plagiarism. The following URL will lead you to CQUniversity’s policy repository where you can search for plagiarism procedures and policy. https://www.cqu.edu.au/policy 19 Uploading your assignment Please ensure you upload the correct assignment to Moodle. You will not have the opportunity to have your assignment removed and replaced because you: received a high TurnItIn score or accidently uploaded an assignment from another unit or student or submitted the assignment without the reference list or submitted the wrong copy of your assignment. 20
