People and Organisations Coursework Brief
Coursework theme: “Employee Participation and Project Management”
Detailed Instructions
The review must be word processed, and MUST NOT exceed a single page of A4, using the Arial font, minimum of 12 point in single line spacing, and margins of a minimum of 2 cm all around. You and your partner are only required to submit ONE review per pair. The critical review must also contain a list of bibliographic references cited, and this list must be found on page 2 of your joint submission. Therefore, the submission must not exceed 2 pages, otherwise you will get zero for this coursework. Also, do not continue the critical review on to the second page. The second page should only contain the list of bibliographic references cited, preferably presented using the Harvard referencing system. The full reference for your chosen peer-reviewed academic journal article must be included at the top of page 2, in bold, so that it is clear to the assessor which chosen article your critical review is based on.
Guidance on How to Construct a Critical Review
The critical review must be related to the above theme, i.e. “Employee Participation and Project Management”.
You must select a peer-reviewed journal paper that focuses on a particular aspect of employee participation, and relate this to the field of project management. There are many ways of achieving this. However, it is important that you read more than one peer-reviewed journal article on the theme before making a choice on which article to focus on for your critical review. It is expected that you must familiarise yourselves with the concept of the ‘employee participation’ – what this means, why this is significant, and what has already been studied on and written about this – before you can make a judgement as to which article you choose for the purpose of constructing the critical review. It is suggested that you choose an article that has really inspired you to think about employee participation in the context of project management.
Marking Criteria
Marks are not given for the quality of presentation. Submissions should be of a good quality, as would be expected in a professional environment. Submissions containing typographical errors, weak structure and very poor grammar will receive lower marks as this reduces understanding. Your joint coursework will be evaluated in two parts. First, 90% of your coursework mark will be based on the following assessment criteria:
