Condrey. 3nd Edition. San Francisco: Jossey Bass- HANDBOOK OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN GOVERNMENT
Bibliography) Paper One way to describe this assignment (5 pages, double space, 12 pt. font) is that it is a variation of a book review; only in this case, you are reviewing 4 to 5 books or professional/academic articles other than the materials in your textbooks. For an example of this approach see Public Administration Review (PAR), as well as other professional journals, where sometimes three or more books on the same subject are reviewed. In this case, I am asking you to take an HRM topical theme related to your final HR problem paper, e.g., performance appraisal, and find 4 or 5 resources that you think are valuable on this subject and critique them. (NOTE: General management topics are not appropriate here, e.g., "organization culture," "leadership" or "performance management" which are covered in other EMPA courses.) You should draw your topic from the themes in Session 3 thru 8. The critique can take several forms, e.g., you could devote one page to each source or could write a thematic paper integrating all of the resources and citing or incorporating them throughout the paper. Your journal sources should be from reputable professional and/or scholarly journals, preferably from the journals cited below in the Additional Reading Sources paragraph. The appropriate citation format for this paper is APA; this format is available in many writing books, e.g., Diana Hacker, A Writer's Reference, St. Martins Press.
