Subject Details 2.1 Subject description This subject provides students with a solid foundation for understanding and addressing core issues, practices, and decision-making relating to the management of people. A central aim is to provide a framework for designing, implementing, and maintaining Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, which are contemporary, relevant, and capable of sustaining organisations in competitive environments. Topics addressed include planning, recruitment and selection, performance management, workplace health and safety, and international human resource management. This is achieved by discussion and analysis of theoretical perspectives and practical examples from various international business environments. A practical and relevant 'Hot Topic' relating to managing people in the tropics will be woven through the subject. This subject is a core requirement for the HRM Major. 2.2 Subject and course learning outcomes JCU graduates are committed to lifelong learning, intellectual development and to displaying exemplary personal, professional and ethical standards. They have an understanding of First Nations peoples, reconciliation, diversity, and sustainability. Sustainability not only in terms of economic, cultural, social and environmental, but also have a sense of their place in the Tropics and are charged with professional, community and environmental responsibility. They exhibit a willingness to lead and to contribute to the intellectual, cultural, and social challenges of regional, national, and international communities in the Tropics. As a student it is important for you to understand how the course learning outcomes are being addressed by the subject though specific subject learning that you are to achieve throughout the subject. The following table shows the alignment between assessment and learning outcomes at the course and subject level.

The content of the subject is disseminated using a variety of teaching strategies including workshops, group work, case studies, discussions, simulations, and readings. At the beginning of each workshop, you will be made aware of the expected learning outcomes, how such outcomes are relevant to the world of business, and the resources that support the learning outcomes of this subject. You are expected to be an active participant in the learning process and are encouraged to participate in workshops and undertake weekly readings. Beyond the classroom, your learning experience will be greatly enhanced if you collaborate and share ideas with other students. One easy way to achieve this is to form a study group with 2-3 other students with similar needs and expectations. Your lecturer can assist with this. 2.4 Student feedback on subject As part of our commitment at JCU to improving the quality of our courses and teaching, we regularly seek feedback on your learning experiences. Student feedback informs evaluation of subject and teaching strengths and areas that may need refinement or change.

A summary of the assessable items is provided below. ASSESSMENT TASK 1: IN CLASS QUIZZES (Quiz x 2 - Individual and Group) Aligned course & subject learning outcomes • K1A Demonstrate essential knowledge necessary for a career in business related professions • K2B Synthesise underlying principles and concepts for making business decisions • SLO1 Examine key HRM functions and practices and the associated issues and challenges • SLO3 Explain the major HRM functions and practices involved in managing people Aligned professional standards/ competencies This subject forms part of the Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI) accreditation for the Bachelor of Business, Human Resource Management Major. www.ahri.com.au Group or individual Individual and then group on the same day in week 6 & 10 Weighting / Length 30% (15% for Quiz 1 and 15% for Quiz 2) Due date In the tutorial in week 6 & 10 ASSESSMENT TASK 1: DESCRIPTION Individual  The class test will consist of multiple choice questions covering the chapters reviewed in lectures to date. These tests are to be completed by you as an individual. Students who miss a test for medical or personal reasons must present documentation (medical certificate). Group  The class test will consist of multiple-choice questions coving the chapters reviewed in lectures to date. These tests are to be completed as a group exercise. Students will be allocated groups by week 2. Groups will be the same for the whole study period. It is up to you to make sure you attend and participate in all tests as you receive a group mark for these group tests. Students who miss a test for medical or personal reasons must present documentation (medical certificate). Quizzes will be conducted in weeks 6 and 10. ASSESSMENT TASK 1: CRITERIA SHEET IF-AT (Instant Feedback Assessment Technique) Individually and then as a group: » Students read the multiple-choice question and the series of answer options. Using a scratch-able answer sheet, they then select the rectangle (marked A, B, C, or D) corresponding to their answer choice and scratch off the thin, opaque covering. If the answer is correct, a star will appear somewhere within the rectangle, and the student will receive full credit. » If the student selects an incorrect answer, the rectangle below the covering will be empty. The student is instructed to re-read the question and all of the remaining options, and to try again. If the second choice is correct, a star or symbol will appear beneath the covering, and the student can earn partial credit (amount determined by the teacher). The student knew enough to be able to narrow the options, distinguishing him or herself from another student who was simply guessing. If a student's second choice does not uncover the star, he or she will be instructed to re-read the question and the remaining options, and to "try, try again". » If the student selects an incorrect answer, the rectangle below the covering will be empty. The student is instructed to re-read the question and all of the remaining options, and to try again. If the second choice is correct, a star or symbol will appear beneath the covering, and the student can earn partial credit (amount determined by the teacher). The student knew enough to be able to narrow the options, distinguishing him or herself from another student who was simply guessing. If a student's second choice does not uncover the star, he or she will be instructed to re-read the question and the remaining options, and to "try, try again".  If you get the correct answer as your first choice you get 4 points  A correct answer on your second try you get 2 points  A correct answer on your third try you get 1 point  Fourth attempt = no points   ASSESSMENT TASK 2: HRM Portfolio Assignment Aligned course & subject learning outcomes • K2B Synthesise underlying principles and concepts for making business decisions • S3A, D, E Convey information clearly and fluently, in a high quality written form appropriate for their audience • SLO2 Apply theory and practices of HRM to managing people in organisations • SLO3 Explain the major HRM functions and practices involved in managing people • SLO4 Critically evaluate HRM functions practices and strategies Aligned professional standards/ competencies This subject forms part of the Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI) accreditation for the Bachelor of Business, Human Resource Management Major. www.ahri.com.au Group or individual Individual Weighting / Length 50% Due date Start of the lecture day in week 9 ASSESSMENT TASK 2: DESCRIPTION You will develop a portfolio of key HRM outcomes. The portfolio comprises three parts: 1. Human resource forecasting: In this task, you will forecast the human resource needs of North West Regional Hospital (NWRH) a purpose built 180-bed inpatient facility and the largest regional hospital in the state. NWRH also has 15 outreach sites located throughout tropical, northern Australia, each of which employs approximately 17 individuals. In total, NWRH currently employs 700 people. All details about the company will be provided in advance. 2. Job description and recruitment advertisement: In this task, you will draw up a set of job descriptions for three positions related to the company above. You will then develop one advertisement to attract job seekers to the company. The job descriptions and advertisement will form the basis of the portfolio presentation (see below). A sample job description will be provided. 3. Selection criteria: In this task you will use the Job Description you have developed (above) to: a. Develop a list of key selection criteria for an upcoming vacancy in this position in terms of experience, qualifications, skills/abilities, personal qualities and special requirements (a template will be provided) b. Outline how you would evaluate the candidates on each criterion. c. Identify your interview selection panel. Indicate the number of people to be on the panel, the positions that they hold and provide a brief explanation of why they are required on the panel. Portfolio assignment details will be provided in the first lecture (Week 1). While the portfolio assignment will be developed in three parts, it is to be submitted in full in week 9. ASSESSMENT TASK 2: CRITERIA SHEET See rubric in Section 6 ASSESSMENT TASK 3: HRM Portfolio Group Presentation Aligned course & subject learning outcomes • S4A, D Demonstrate effective oral presentation skills for academic and professional audiences • S5A Demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively • SLO2 Apply theory and practices of HRM to managing people in organisations • SLO3 Explain the major HRM functions and practices involved in managing people • SLO4 Critically evaluate HRM functions practices and strategies Aligned professional standards/ competencies This subject forms part of the Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI) accreditation for the Bachelor of Business, Human Resource Management Major. www.ahri.com.au Weighting / Length 20% Due Date In the lecture, tutorial and workshop in week 5 ASSESSMENT TASK 3: DESCRIPTION As a group, you will present one job description and one advertisement developed as part of the Portfolio assignment above and answer the following questions: a. Discuss the various uses of job descriptions and the effectiveness of different methods of collecting job description information (e.g. job analysis interview, web search and so on) b. What are the advantages and disadvantages of internet recruitment and selection for a company like NWRH? How would you minimize the disadvantages? The presentation will be a maximum of 10 minutes and include only one job description (decided by the group) and one advertisement (produced by the group). Presentations will be given in Week 5 class, tutorials, and workshops. Note: Groups will choose one group members job description to produce one advertisement for that job. The advertisement made by the group may not then be used in the HRM Portfolio Assignment. Groups will be the same as those for the class quizzes and allocated by Week 2. It is up to you to make sure you attend and participate in the presentation as you receive a group mark. Team conflict and disbandment: The ability to "lead, manage, and contribute effectively to teams" is a key JCU Generic skill and an important skill sought by employers. Working in teams, under proper conditions, encourages peer learning and peer support. Sometimes members of a team will not contribute equally to the task, resulting in some students carrying the full load of the team effort. On other occasions, team members have left the subject. Should you have conflict in your team it is important to advise the lecturer as soon as possible. The lecturer will retain the right (after hearing claims from students) to decide when a group should be disbanded. In exceptional circumstances, individual assessment options are available to students only after a concerted effort has been made to work with other team members. ASSESSMENT TASK 3: CRITERIA SHEET See rubric in Section 6 Section 4. Other Information about Assessment and Student Support 4.1 Submission and return of assessment The ability to adhere to deadlines is a highly desirable attribute that employers seek in our graduates. Right from the beginning, new students should acquire the habit of meeting deadlines for their work, by organising their study time appropriately. The following points apply to the submission of assessment 1. Extensions will be granted in cases of illness or personal issues (medical certificate/counsellor's statement required). It is at the discretion of the subject co-ordinator/lecturer that extensions will be granted for inescapable, unexpected, documented work commitments (provide documentation). You should contact your lecturer before the due date if you are likely to require an extension. 2. Where no prior extension has been approved, late submissions will incur a penalty of 5% per day or part thereof. For example, If you are awarded a mark of 71% for a 30% essay that is handed in 4 days late, your final mark will be 51% of 30, which is 15.3. Weekends are treated as a single full day because university buildings are not usually accessible of over the weekend to allow for submission. Assessment tasks will generally not be graded after 14 days past the due date. 3. Assignments must be submitted to a Safe Assignment drop box on the subject site, LearnJCU, and as a hard copy. Students may NOT email or fax an assignment without prior approval from the Subject Coordinator/Lecturer. 4. Assessment items submitted in hard copy such as written assignment are to be submitted to the lecturer in class. Please ensure that you have attached the School of Business Assignment Coversheet. A copy of the cover sheet is available online at: http://www.jcu.edu.au/business/public/groups/everyone/documents/learning_object/jcudev_014008.pdf Please note that some lecturers may have specific assignment requirements and it is your responsibility to check these with your lecturer. 5. The assessment will be returned with feedback in 14 days. 4.2 Plagiarism and referencing Plagiarism occurs when writers claim ownership of written words or ideas that are not their own. Plagiarism is a form of cheating and any instances of plagiarism will be dealt with promptly according to University procedures. Please see the JCU Student Academic Misconduct Requirements Policy Referencing is a systematic way of acknowledging the sources that you have used. Students should check out the very helpful online resources relating to academic writing, referencing and avoiding plagiarism at: • Writing and Maths Skills Online http://www-public.jcu.edu.au/learningskills/resources/wsonline/index.htm (In particular, the booklet Summarising, Paraphrasing & Avoiding Plagiarism is a very useful guide). • The Referencing Libguide • What is Plagiarism? 4.3 Important advice relating to examinations If you experience difficulties or serious circumstances before or up to the day of your exam, which you believe may affect your ability to sit the exam successfully or perform at your best, you can apply for special consideration in the marking of your exam. Please see the JCU Special Consideration, Supplementary, Deferred, and Special Examinations Requirements If you are unable to attend an exam at the scheduled time due to extenuating circumstances/circumstances beyond your control, you may apply for a deferred exam. Deferred exams are granted in exceptional circumstances such as severe medical conditions or family or personal trauma.
