Identify an important staffing issue currently facing the organization (if you utilize your own organization, the focus must be on a staffing issue that is not in your immediate job area). Through field research (minimum of two interviews and examination of company documents) and literature research (consultation of at least five scholarly sources), develop a case study on the company that is focused directly on the staffing issue. The case study should provide a general orientation to the company and explain the nuances of the staffing issue that the company is facing. The case study portion of the paper should represent between 2-3 pages of the paper. The remainder of the paper should provide your recommendations as to how the company should address the staffing issue. Integration of course concepts and reading is expected. The literature research should inform your recommendations in a relevant, sophisticated, and unforced manner.
Option #2
Investigate one of the emerging staffing issues listed below through both field research (minimum of two interviews) and literature research (minimum of at least five scholarly sources). Your interviews should be “informants” on how organizations are approaching the selected emerging issue within their organization; as such, you should select interviewees for whom the issue is relevant. Your paper should provide background on the issue, explain why it is of current or future importance as a staffing issue, report on the perspectives of your interviewee’s views and approaches related to the issue, and how this issue impacts HRM functions in general. This part of the paper should represent 3-4 pages of your paper. The remainder of your paper should focus on answering each of the following questions via integration of course concepts and input from a relevant and sophisticated literature review:
When hiring in this context (the context of your emerging staffing issue)…
1. What are some common problems faced by organizations?
2. How might the traditional staffing model need to be adjusted? Be specific.
3. What tools tend to be most effective? Which are least effective? Explain.
4. How should the organization approach sourcing and recruiting in this context?
5. What are important considerations that organizations should keep in mind when hiring in this context? Name 2-3 specific considerations and explain why they are important.
Emerging Issues for Option #2:
* Staffing for a collaborative team-based work environment
* Staffing for virtual/geographically-dispersed work environments
* Staffing for expatriate positions
* Staffing with non-traditional workers (e.g. interns, retirees, ex-offenders, etc.)
* Staffing with a non-permanent contingent workforce (e.g. freelancers, independent contractors/consultants, or temporary/agency workers)
* Staffing with skilled foreign workers (e.g. H1B, L1A, L1B visa holders)
The completed paper should be between 6-8 pages in length, double-spaced, 1” margins on all sides, and typed with a 12-point business appropriate font. The paper should be succinct, logical, and professionally written. Graduate level work is expected; as such, misspellings, poor grammar, and/or bad syntax will lower your grade. APA formatting is required for this paper.
