Student Responsibility:
It is the responsibility of every student to be aware of the requirements for this course, and understand the
specific details included in this document.
For full details of programs and school procedures, please refer to the Federation Business School Programs

Unsatisfactory progress - Early Intervention
It is emphasised that this course requires a significant commitment outside of formal class contact. The
learning tasks in this course may include classes (lectures, tutorials or seminars), required reading, the
preparation of answers to set questions, exercises and problems, and self-study. In addition, students may
be required to complete an assignment, test or examination.
Attendance and Participation:
It is in students' interest to make every effort to attend all the classes for this course and to complete all
preparatory and assessment tasks. It is our experience that those students who do not attend class or carry
out the associated activities are more likely to do poorly or to fail the course completely.
Late Submission:
Assessment tasks submitted after the due date, without prior approval/arrangement, will be penalised at
10% of the available marks per day. Requests for extension of time must be made with the lecturerCourse Description

concerned and based on Special Consideration guidelines
http://policy.federation.edu.au/student_services_and_administration/enrolment/special_consideration/ch01.php
Moderation of Results:
Moderation refers to the practice of quality assurance of assessable tasks and marking carried out at any of
the School's Partner Providers' locations. Moderation addresses the interests of students, staff, the
School's partners and external stakeholders. Moderation seeks to ensure that:
Good practice in assessment is being applied consistently across the institution and its programs;
Student performance is being properly, fairly and consistently judged for all students undertaking the
same course of study; and
Standards expected of, and achieved by, students are appropriate, reliable and comparable to good
practice at the University and nationally.
Standardisation of assessment may result in a student's mark being amended. This is your guarantee that
your results are comparable to Federation University results in all locations.
Course Evaluation:
We welcome feedback as one way to keep improving this course. Students are encouraged to provide
course feedback through eVALUate, the University's online student feedback system. eVALUate will be
available to students during Weeks 10 and 11 by the Student Survey dashboard system using FedUni
student user names and passwords.
Moodle:
Moodle is used to host course resources for all courses. Students can download lecture and tutorial notes
to support class participation. Students login to Moodle at
https://moodle.federation.edu.au/login/index.php
Generally, assessments are submitted online through Moodle. Should you need assistance, please use the
available resources and support through the drop-down menus in Moodle.
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is the presentation of the expressed thought or work of another person as though it is one's own
without properly acknowledging that person.
Students must not allow other students to copy their work and must take care to safeguard against this
happening. In cases of copying, normally all students involved will be penalised equally; an exception will be
if the student can demonstrate the work is their own and they took reasonable care to safeguard against
copying.
Plagiarism is a serious offence. Please refer to the following documents:

Assessment Task 1: Individual essay
Grade: 20%
Date due: Friday Week 5 [19 August 2016 before 11.00 pm]
Word Limit: 1500 words (excluding references)
Provide a critical analysis of one current issue from the topics below:
• Diversity
• Emotions and Moods
• Attitude and Job Satisfaction
Task Details: Choose one of the topic areas listed above and then choose one aspect or issue within the
topic. This is a minor assignment and the word limit is 1500 words so your analysis must necessarily be
selective. That is why it is suggested that you focus on one aspect only of the broader topic area. For
example, you might want to focus on the issue of Diversity Management within the broad topic area of
'Diversity'. You are required to check with your seminar leader (lecturer) that the issue that you are going
to focus on is an appropriate area for review.
Note: Given that this unit is an Australian-based unit, it is preferable that you choose an issue that is
relevant to the Australian OB environment. This does not mean that the literature chosen has to be
restricted to Australian sources – you are encouraged to select literature from a global set of academic
sources.
Once you have chosen a topic you are required to read from both the popular / professional and academic
literature and then critically analyse and compare the commentary and findings from both sources: you are
required to include at least 2 (no more than 3) popular or professional articles and 15 refereed journal
articles.
Popular and professional sources include newspapers, online reviews or magazines such as HR Leader or HR
Monthly.
The academic 'literature' can include a range of sources:
- Academic journal articles
- Monographs (books)
- Academic articles on the Library's Databases
- Conference proceedings
- Empirical studies (usually reported in journal articles and monographs)
- Government reports and reports from other major bodies
- Historical records
- Statistical information
Format: Your analysis is to be a scholarly essay that surveys and critically reports on both the popular /
professional and the academic literature in your chosen topic area. It must be presented in essay format and
should be a synthesis of the literature. You must read widely and draw your literature search from a
broad range of sources from the list above. As indicated above, the reading list for this unit is a good
s t a r t i n g point for your literature review. The reference section at the end of the appropriate chapter
in your text similarly provides a good starting point.
Remember that although you are asked to include professional articles the main focus is on the academic
literature, that is scholarly books and articles as distinct from journalistic and industry accounts.
You should incorporate at least 15 refereed academic journal articles.Course Description

September 2016 respectively.]
Word Limit: 1,800 – 2,000 words (excluding references)
1) Assessment Details
This task is designed to develop your ability to: contribute fruitfully to a group task; assess an
organisational issue or problem as objectively as possible; appreciate the potential of theory in
managerial decision making and problem solving; apply theory to 'real life'; take managerial
responsibility by designing a practical course of action.
Task description:
In groups of no more than 5 (five) students you are to identify a problem situation (only one problem) in
an organisation you have access to (preferably an organisation where at least one group member works
or has worked recently). Do not focus on a problem that has already been solved.
A presentation covering the following points should be prepared:
Provide a brief introduction to the organisation (it is acceptable to withhold the name of the
organisation).
Describe the problem, as much as possible in terms of the observable or measurable symptoms it
manifests, for example: low levels of motivation; high employee turnover; deterioration of service
quality; increased customer complaints; dysfunctional groups; loss of profit; negative/ unhelpful
organisational culture etc.
The issue/problem should then be considered and analysed in terms of concepts/ models/ theories
drawn from any two topics studied as part of this subject. Try to choose the topics that seem to offer
the most useful insights into the problem. Do not try to deal with many models or concepts. Topics
outside course coverage must not be selected.
Design an intervention (a change program or set of activities and procedures) utilising some aspect
or aspects of your analysis. The intervention should be intended to solve or improve the situation.
Please note you are not merely being asked for a list of recommendations.
Group members should present their considerations, analysis and intervention design to the class. The
presentation should last between 20 and 30 minutes. Each member will present for more or less equal
amount of time (5-6 minutes). You will be penalised for exceeding 30 minutes. An additional 10 minutes is
available for questions and answers.Course Description

must be submitted next day following the presentation (word files only). Your report must be correctly and
adequately referenced (only one report from each group). Presentation mark 10 (individual mark); Report
mark 30 (Group mark).
2) Criteria used to grade the task

group (worth: 10 marks). For detailed marking criteria, please see appendix- 2.
The report mark generally will be the same for all members unless the lecturer is convinced that all members
did not contribute adequately to prepare the report. Marks may then vary among the group members
depending on their degree of contributions (worth: 30 marks). For detailed marking criteria, please see
