Referring to the case example brief (will be handed out in the module classes) and your experience of taking part in the classroom role play exercise, write an essay that addresses the following questions:
1) How do the interests and ethics of the stakeholder groups differ?
2) What ethical justification can you offer for the way you voted on the proposal?
3) Based on this experience, critically evaluate the case for green HRM.
To construct a great answer you need to demonstrate that you have done the following:
Selected appropriate theories, models, concepts and topics from the module content and applied them to a discussion of ethical behaviours arising throughout the case study role play.
Undertaken your own desk research on the issues and topics arising from the role play, and integrated your findings into the assignment (using both material on the reading list and articles, journal papers and book chapters you have found yourself).
Have developed your own voice and ideas, supported by arguments that are backed by references to academic literature, theories and secondary research.
Demonstrate an ability to move beyond description of an issue by applying theories that enable you to develop critical insights and establish the \’so what?\’ issues that arise.
Demonstrate that you can widen the argument and link it to contemporary challenges within wider society. Another aspect of this could come from comparing and contrasting the case study to other examples (either for similarity or dissimilarity).
1) How do the interests and ethics of the stakeholder groups differ?
? Think about the different stakeholder groups that took part in the role play what were their interests and ethics (e.g. self-interest, altruism, utilitarianism. etc.. etc)? This may have been stated at the session, in the discussions and after vote discussions that you should have been noting on the day. Or you could INTERVIEW some of your classmates to learn more about this and gain insights into what they and those in their stakeholder groups were thinking and what they said they did and why etc.
? Look at lecture material to give you ideas and to help you identify the interests and ethics at play. Lectures 2 and 3 are of particular relevance here as lecture 2 provided a model that you can use to do this, lecture 3 provided lots of information on the different ethical bases for decision-making. Also see lecture 5 on stakeholders and managing multiple interests of course and the lecture 8 and FairShares model/approach information provided.
? Follow up on relevant readings from lectures and the readings lists to inform your understanding of these issues and stances and to provide scholarly weight to the points you make. Ensure you reference these correctly.
? Do some additional research to find relevant books and papers so you can really develop those M-Level scholarly skills and approaches.
? So, the above requires a level of engagement with the lecture material, literature base, individual thinking and judgement but also, you answer will be aided by some co-opeartive / collaborative endeavours such as discussing with your peers.
? (PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE FEW THAT MISSED THE ROLEPLAY EXERCISE then you can interview your classmates to find out what occurred on the day, what they decided on / voted on and ask about their views and stances to enable you to be able to cover this part of the assessment. You can also look at the BlackBoard site, as outlined at the start of this box of information, to see the role play exercise and voting outcomes etc. It is your responsibility to catch up on what you missed to enable you to answer these assessment questions).
2) What ethical justification can you offer for the way you voted on the proposal?
? Think about what you thought and felt and did before, during and after the role play. Reflect on this.
? What was the basis of your decision and how did you vote? How can you JUSTIFY this using ethical theory?
? Did you consider voting another way? If not why not? If so, what swayed you and what was the basis of this switch in your thinking?
? Look at lecture material to give you ideas and to help you identify your interests and ethics. Lectures 2 and 3 are of particular relevance here but you may wish to draw on material and models/theories from elsewhere in the curriculum (use your judgement). Also see the leadership lecture as in here could come notions of authentic and ethical leadership and the Pless and Maak paper referenced and covered could also help.
? Follow up on relevant readings from lectures and the readings lists to inform your understanding of these issues and stances and to provide scholarly weight to the points you make. Ensure you reference these correctly.
? Do some additional research to find relevant books and papers so you can really develop those M-Level scholarly skills and approaches.
? So, the above requires a level of engagement with the lecture material, literature base, individual thinking and judgement.
? (PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE FEW THAT MISSED THE ROLEPLAY EXERCISE then you will have to imagine you were allocated one of the stakeholder roles and decide on how you would have voted i.e. to accept the proposal or to reject it and think of reasons why and then answer the question. This will be more abstract and you will have missed the discussions and actual experience but you can answer this as an individual/desk exercise. If you also interview your classmates, as suggested above, this will go some way to enable a more robust post-role play participation on your part).
3) Based on this experience, critically evaluate the case for green HRM.
? First step may be to outline IF and if so, justify the role that HRM can/should play in the development and management of such multi-stakeholder enterprises as this case study one. (OR If you think there is no or little case for HRM taking a role in this, you must argue appropriately for this.).
? You may well then move onto providing some more detailed discussions to help you do this by selecting some key green HRM/D areas to discuss with, of course, appropriate support from literature, theory and examples. MAKE THESE RELEVANT TO THE CASE ORGANISAITON at all times and avoid general discussions. For example, what kind of employee relations would suit this organisation and support its ongoing development and management? . How can green HRM support recruitment, training and reward etc? What kind of sustainability/ethical leadership would suit here and how can it be supported by the HRM/D department?….. How can performance and reward support it? Etc Etc.
? Note that you will not be able to cover all the green HRM/D and related areas here but will have to choose to focus on a few key areas.
? Again, you will need to look at lecture material to give you ideas and to help you identify areas for discussion and how to justify the role of HRM. This could come from anywhere in the curriculum and we are implicitly assessing your choices and judgements here (as explicitly evidenced in the written material of the essay). For example, what are the models and theories from lectures that can help here to make the case for HRM before moving onto the detail of particular areas of HRM/D practice?
? Lecture on leadership regarding leadership approach and development. Materials on governance and employee relations from lecture 8. extra materials on the BlackBaord site.. Green HRM form lecture 7 etc. etc. Again, you must choose what you think can help you make your case and provide relevant and appropriate examples that relate to the case and the question and use your judgement.
? Again, follow up on relevant readings from lectures and the readings lists to inform your understanding of these issues and stances and to provide scholarly weight to the points you make. Ensure you reference these correctly.
? For this part of the essay, it is wholly relevant and appropriate to draw on relevant materials and literature from other modules that may cover the areas you are discussing or about the role of HRM/D and approaches to HRM/D etc.
? Again, you may very well wish to do some additional research to find relevant books and papers so you can really develop those M-Level scholarly skills and approaches. For example, if you wish to talk about reward strategy in more detail, you may want to expand on the materials in the lecture and reading lists
? So, the above requires a level of judgement and choice, engagement with the lecture material and literature base, individual thinking and argument.
