Research Proposal (**THE DRAFT PROPOSAL HAS BEEN COMPLETED, JUST NEED THE ACTUAL RESEARCH PROPOSAL TO BE WRITTEN).
• Students will develop a research proposal based on an area of human resource management that they find of
interest. The objective of this assignment is that students will develop a research proposal.
• Two outputs will need to be submitted: a draft research proposal, and a final research proposal (submit to
Moodle). Detailed guidelines for the proposal will be posted on the course website.
• In summary, the research proposal will identify a research question; include a literature search to support the
development of hypotheses and a theoretical framework; identify the research design that will be used to address
the research question(s) and hypotheses (e.g. survey, experiment, qualitative methods, and/or meta-analysis);
describe the methods, measures and analyses that could be used; and discuss some of the possible results that
could be expected if the research were to be conducted (e.g. examples from the literature of similar studies could
be referred to is this section); and the final section will be a discussion and conclusion that discuss the
implications of the study for Human Resource practitioners.
• The writing in the research proposals should be professional and formal. The style should be clear and concise–
minimize the use of long sentences and excessive use of quoted material. It is a good practice to copy-edit your
papers, this will minimize grammatical errors and spelling mistakes.
• Your draft research proposal paper should be two pages double‐spaced, while the final research proposal paper
should be between 1800 and 2000 words (producing a paper between 7 and 8 pages in length) and both should be
double‐spaced and in 12‐point font with 1-inch margins. Please include a title page and list of references (not
included in the word count). APA formatting should be used for the paper, and references should be cited in APA
style. All content that is not your own idea or information should be referenced appropriately. You must cite at
least eight (8) references and include them in your list of references in your final proposal.
• All written work will be marked on style, grammar, clarity, and organization, as well as content and analysis (i.e.
the extent and quality of your research, analysis, and recommendations).
