Notes:
The goal of a research paper is to inform the reader. Your work should read as you are informing the reader about the theory you have chosen.
Remember you are to choose one of the theories covered during the video sessions Content Theory or Process Theory.
Chose one theory from either the Content or Process Theory.
Content Theory:
*Maslows Hierarchy of Needs
*Alderfers ERG Theory
*Herzbergs Two-Factor Theory
*McClellands Acquired Needs Theory
OR
Process Theory:
*Locks Goal-Setting Theory
*Adams Equity Theory
*Vrooms Expectancy Theory
The purpose of your research paper is to provide research to support the theory you choose.
You are to incorporate the chosen theory (from above) and include management and motivation. Remember the theories above are motivational and goal-setting theories.
Also remember that the purpose of your research paper is to inform the reader. The research paper serves not only to further the field in which it is written, but also to provide you with an opportunity to increase your knowledge in the management field.
And remember it may be helpful to include a purpose statement; which is a declarative sentence which summarizes the specific topic and goals of a paper. It is typically included in the introduction to give the reader an understanding what the paper will cover.
Some common introductory phrases for purpose statements include:
“The purpose of this paper/letter/document is to…”
“In this paper, I will describe/explain/review/etc. the…”
“My reason for writing is to…”
“This paper will discuss the…”
“The purpose of this paper is twofold: to ___ and ___”
Examples of effective purpose statements:
1. “This paper will describe four common causes of co-worker conflict in organizations and explain how to use a five-step procedure to constructively manage this conflict.”
2. “This report will explain how supervisors can use four planning strategies to improve employee productivity in the workplace.”
3. “This purpose of this report is to describe the main causes of traffic congestion in Seattle.”
This is the best time to write your paper with what is required.
