Description
Locate research articles on change management. Concentrate on research that focuses on what participants can DO to improve in your topic area. Include articles on positive behaviors, strategies, and coping will be more useful as you build your paper.
The literature review write-up should be at least 5 pages long (double-spaced, APA format, not including the reference list). At least five of the references should be from a top-tier I/O journal (Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel Psychology, Academy of Management Journal, or Academy of Management Review), a literature review (from any journal) or meta-analysis (from any journal). This should NOT prevent you from including other references as well, from more applied or popular articles that have activities or practical ideas consistent with research findings in addition to topics covered. The paper should include the following four sections: (1) Research – A literature review of the key research findings on this topic; (2) Description of an Interesting Research Study – identify and briefly describe one interesting research study (from any journal) that you can influence your project; (3) Application – list five or more key principles that you will influence your consulting (What should people do to be effective in your focus area?) – each principle should be 2-3 sentences long and built on the research you have reviewed; and (4) Reference List (in APA format).
