The length needs to be between 5 to 10 pages in length, and this does not include the title page or the references section. A partially-written 5 page paper (i.e. one that is not five full pages) will not meet the minimum requirements. A well-written paper will be longer than the minimum. Students may select any Business Organizational Behavior topic of their choice from the textbook that you have an interest in researching. Students should use the text as well as 3 to 4 other sources (books, journal articles, etc.), to write the paper. Students should not rely on websites or encyclopedias (including online encyclopedias like Wikipedia) for references (use peer reviewed sources).
Papers should be formal papers written using APA formatting (as discussed in the policies section of this syllabus) and presented in the third person. Please also include in-text citations and a references section. Students will upload their research to the assignment in Blackboard. The end of each paper must include the following section:
