Create a causal-loop diagram OF YOUR OWN. The model should contain no less than 20 variables. Balancing and reinforcing loops should be clearly indicated, and the value – positive or negative – of every single connector has to be stated.
Introduce the essay and the grand challenge that you have chosen to address. Present some descriptive statistics in order to establish the critical importance of the problem chosen. No reference previous to 2017 is accepted.
Q2: Critically examine some of the challenges an organization can face in dealing with any aspect of employee relations. (Learning Outcome 2)
• You can examine any aspect of Employee Relations (excluding the topic covered in assignment 1).
• Recognize the practical implications of your chosen topic area and explore how and why they may present challenges to an organization.
• Do not simply describe the topic but explore the challenges presented by this issue (or issues) as well as their potential consequences and how they might be managed in a work environment.
• The use of work-based examples is an absolute requirement in answering this question.
Q1: Using a range of work-based examples, critically determine the purpose of an effective employee relations strategy. (Learning Outcome 1)
• Using Social Exchange Theory (see for example Homans 1961; Blau 1964) as your baseline frame of reference, address both individual and group/team mechanisms that might be used by an organization in constructing and engaging an effective employee relations strategy.
• Simply providing a range of advantages and/or disadvantages is unlikely to evidence any depth of understanding on the subject. You must critically examine why and how a variety of approaches (probably not more than three or four) might be used.
• It is extremely important to provide specific work-based examples from a range of culturally diverse sources to facilitate this discussion. You will be expected to include a minimum of four (4) examples.
