There is both a Group and Individual component to this assignment. Full details of both components are provided below.
1. Group Component
Groups will consist of at least 3 but no more than 4 members and students can choose whomever they wish to work with on the assignment.
For on-campus students, it is suggested that groups are established among members of the same tutorial class. Time will be set aside in the week 6 tutorial for this purpose.
For external students, groups will be established and announced by the Unit Assessor prior to the end of week 6. Students should advise the UA beforehand if they would like to work with a particular student.
Group Task
Each group will firstly select one of the following key issues that managers of organisations often strive to develop or contend with:
1. Organisational Commitment
2. Employee Satisfaction
3. Deviant workplace behaviour
Groups are to then prepare a report (max 1500 words) which describes and explains:
1. The selected management issue and its role in organisational performance.
2. How the Human Relations or Open Systems model of the CVF might be used to effectively address the selected issue.
3. The limitations and/or dangers that should be considered when undertaking the particular management approach (i.e. the HR or OS model) to address the selected issue.
2. Individual Component
Individual students are to undertake and submit a review of their Group's performance. The ‘Performance Review' report (max 500 words) will identify and analyse the key factors (good and/or bad) that contributed to the group's performance (process and outcome). The report will be assessed according to the ‘Individual Component' marking criteria.
