Assignment Task

1. Task Overview 
Students are required to write a literature review based on the scholarly peer-review literature on one topic, out of a choice of two prescribed topics. The aim of this assessment is to enable students to examine and critically analyse one aspect of recruitment and selection in depth, to understand some of the activities that make up scholarly research and to see the way in which knowledge is built gradually. 
 

Topic selection: Students are required to do a research project based on the scholarly peer-review literature on a single topic within recruitment and selection,
choosing one from:

The purpose of a literature review is:

• To identify the key authors/researchers in an area of study, and provide information on: theories/concepts/frameworks/hypotheses, key questions, research methodologies
• To show that you:

1. Understand a particular field of study
2. are aware of the main issues in the field
3. Have considered the strengths and weaknesses of the existing research in the field.

To justify your own research by pointing out knowledge gaps in a field of study
To demonstrate how current ideas in the field fit with or support your work (or not) and whether you agree or disagree with these ideas. You need to research the topic. This means searching the library databases for relevant peer reviewed literature, perhaps across a few databases and certainly across a variety of journals. A better literature review will probably NOT include every reference that a student has come across. Be prepared to not use some papers that are not appropriate for your paper. There may be many journal papers on your chosen topic and you will need to make judgements on what is relevant to your topic. You may need to narrow the scope of your chosen topic. Given the word limit, students will need to use their problem solving skills to determine which papers to include.
