Topic: HR Research Paper - Intro

Order Description This paper will be in three parts. So the same writer will get all three. This for the introduction section. Please see the instructions below and follow them a tee. The writer will need to work with me on a topic to research prior to starting the paper. Thank you. This assignment is designed to have you write the introduction section of your final paper ahead of time. The introduction is generally the most difficult part of writing a paper, and so a head start on it will help you in getting things done in time. In addition, though, writing your introduction helps to get your thoughts in order for the rest of your proposal. The goal of the introduction section is to do a few things in particular: 1. Describe the problem and/or research question, including, but not limited to: a. what the topic is b. why it's important c. who this would matter to 2. Describe what has already been studied in terms of this topic. a. describe other studies b. if there are competing theories/hypotheses out there, describe them in detail c. if there is work in other areas that informs this research, include descriptions of it. 3. Describe how the existing work is insufficient and/or how the existing work could be extended. a. This is the whole motivation for YOUR study, in particular b. Maybe the existing work fails to control for certain things c. Maybe the existing work doesn't cover a particular task d. Whatever! 4. Describe your study (a brief summary) a. In terms of theory, what is the goal of your study? b. What is your hypothesis, in terms of the theory? c. What's your basic procedure to assess this goal? d. What results would confirm or disconfirm your hypothesis? In general, a good introduction section for a research proposal should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-7 pages (double-spaced, 1 inch margins). That means 4-6 pages of text, not including your references, title page, and any other materials. So the main body of your paper should be about 1500-3000 words in length, though you may exceed that if you wish. You should look in your textbook for APA format and writing style (Appendix A), and if that doesn't give you enough to work with, get your hands on an APA publication manual. They probably have some at the library or just in local bookstores. I am expecting this paper to be in APA format, including citations (no plagiarism!), margins, font, etc. Part of your responsibility in this assignment is to find out what proper APA format is, because you never know when a supervisor is going to ask you to write something in a new format.
