MBA 552 R2: Field Study Research Paper (20%)
SPRING 2023
DUE: April 17th before 8:00 a.m.
Identify an organization for field research. The purpose of this assignment is to make
you more aware of the impact human resource strategies have on day-to-day
operations of an organization. Write a paper (3-5 pages, double-spaced) summarizing
the information you collected from your field study research. Include the following
elements in your paper:
1. Spend a minimum of 1 hour observing the operations of a company. You will
need to physically go to a place of business and observe the operations.
Include the details of your site visit in your reference list at the end of your paper.
What company did you visit? What is the address of the company? What was
the date and time of your visit?
2. Introduce the company/organization. Learn about the company before your
visit. What is the product/service? What is the organization’s mission/purpose?
What is the size of the company in revenues and employees? Is the company
international, global, or just domestic?
3. Describe your field study visit. When and where did you perform your field study?
What did you observe during your study?
4. How well did the workers deliver on the mission/purpose of the organization?
5. Were there visible signs of how the workers success was being measured? For
example, customer satisfaction survey or a screen at the drive-thru tracking time
to complete an order. Were these measurements aligned with the company
mission/purpose?
6. How engaged and motivated were the workers? What evidence did you
collect to support your conclusions?
7. Were the workers trained appropriately for their positions? Did you observe
workers performing with excellence in their positions or was their evidence that
employee training was lacking. Support with specific examples.
8. What was the coordination of work between the employees? Did employees
have separate roles from one another? If so how was work handed off from one
employee to another?
9. After observing the company do you think the company uses a low or high HRM
commitment. Refer to the Low or High HRM Commitment table posted in Session
#2. Apply a minimum of the 3 of the HRM areas from the table to support your
conclusion.
10. Collect additional information about the company as needed.
The paper is due April 17th in the Moodle Drop Box BEFORE 8:00 am
