review the information that you have discovered in the research below and arrange it to explain how the organization views its structure and how that structure supports its values and contributes to meeting its objectives. organize the research around the issues in order to explain how they help (or fail to help) the organization to be successful.
Discuss the actions taken by the organizations to ensure that the elements of design support organizational needs and objectives. For example, an organization might choose to manage its interdependencies with supplier organizations by setting up a common inventory system so that suppliers can deliver appropriate goods on a just-in-time basis. the report should describe these actions, the organizational design issues involved, and their impact, hopefully positive, on the organization.

ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONStaffing an organisation (often referred to as ‘resourcing the organisation’)is a key role of HR practitioners. Workforces often comprise individuals who are employed on different forms of contract, such as:Permanent full-time contracts.(Hook and Jenkins, 2019, p.79-88)Permanent part-timecontracts.(Hook and Jenkins, 2019, p.89)‘Zero-hours’ casual contracts.(Hook and Jenkins, 2019, p.96-97)‘Fixed-term’temporary contracts.(Hook and Jenkins, 2019, p.96-96)Write an essay in which you:Compare and contrastthese different types of contracts of employment,and analysethe relative advantages and disadvantages of themfor both employers and employees:You should presenttwoclear examples of practice from a range of organisationsto demonstrate how organisations use a mixof contractual models to suittheir unique organisational needs. You will be marked as follows:
Definition, explanation, and analysis of the four types of contractual models listed above, including the advantages and disadvantages of each.(60 Marks)
Examples of practice fromtwodifferent organisations showing how and why they use different contractual approaches.(30 Marks)
Use correct academic writing technique, including effective structure, grammar,spelling, use of in-text citations, and a full reference list, all of which should use the Harvard referencing convention. (10 Marks)ASSESSMENT CRITERIATo achieve success, the following is required:
Define and explain the standard expectations of each type of contract. You should use academic text-books and papers, and official government sources such as ACAS or Gov.uk,to define thenature of these contractual models.
Give two examples of actual practice by named organisations, ensuring you citesources such as job adverts, company annual reports, academic case-studies, etc to evidence your work.Although the UK has specific legislation about how these types of contracts are administered, the same contractual concepts are used around the world, so you may use international organisations as your examples, providing you are able to quote appropriate evidence of their practice.
The majority of work should demonstrate your own original thinking, with data, quotes, paraphrased opinions, and other evidence used where appropriate, to evidence and support your own, original debate.This should be delivered in essay format, consisting of a title page, your main body of work, and a reference list. There is no requirement for an executive summary, table of contents, or appendices. You must not use diagrams or tables as part of your answerEvidence should be used from appropriate sources, such as; your core text book, other HRM text books, academic papers and HRM journals, case-studies contained in academic works or on industry chartered institute platforms, such as CIPD, CMI, Institute of Leadership and Management, etc.Students demonstrating higher level academic skills of analysis and evaluation, and sophisticated use of evidence/sources, will score in the highergrade-ranges.Referencing conventions and the credibility of sources is a vital aspect of academic writing. Students demonstrating a higher level of academic rigour in these areas will score in the higher grade-ranges

Question one:
There appears to be much consensus in the leadership literature that leaders and leadership are vital in today’s organisation. Drawing upon both mainstream functionalist perspectives and critical leadership studies discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement.
Here you need to engage with both bodies of literature – a good text for this is Leadership by Carroll, Ford and Taylor (2019), also consider some of the more contemporary approaches to leadership such as authentic, distributive, relational and systematic (see Uhl-Bien and Ospina work on this) what are the implications of such approaches? Do we need leaders and if what sort of leaders do we need?
Question Two
How will contemporary issues such as Brexit and Covid impact an organisations recruitment and selection practices, policies and procedures in the next decade?
Here I would draw upon future of work studies and the networked organisation (Chris Forde at Leeds University has some papers on this), also consider some of the intergenerational aspects of this for example three generations working within the same organisation – are they inherent tensions here. You may also like to draw upon approaches to work force planning, the psychological contact and training and development and importantly issues of equality and diversity.
Question Three
What do organisations need to consider when implementing best practice performance management systems?
This question should consider best practice approaches to PM and issues around line management involvement and issues of fairness and ethical behaviour. Training and development of managers is key to successful implementation and effective operation. Also consider some of the contentions of PM – for example bias, exploitation and the psychological contract – you may also wish to consider how effective such practices are when we are mainly working for home.
Question Four
Describe the key concepts in learning and development and are these fit for purpose in a post Covid world?
Covid has certainly changed organisational responses to HRD, but what does good practice look like in the context of a pandemic and what have we learnt from it- you may wish to draw upon management of change literature and organisational responses to it. Also consider some of the literature around home working and the implications of it -of which is there much. Also CIPD has conducted some very recent studies which document some of the approaches to this.
Question Five
What are the main objectives of reward management systems and how has best practice influenced the development of them?
Think about the extent to which these are fair and ethical especially from a gendered perspective and what sort of behaviour they drive? Here visit French and Raven (1985) work on reward power. You may also wish to look at Tourish (2013) dark side of transformational leadership where he reviews how reward power at Enron drove unethical behaviour and that of Rhodes and Bloom (2018) CEO society. More broadly consider the economic, psychological and motivational consequence of reward management systems- see CIPD for this.
-Aim: improve staff retention of the company
-Analyze and synthesize three articles (Articles 1, 2 and 3 as attached)
-The synthesis will involve coding qualitative data to identify patterns of words, phrases, and other textual information.
– Identify and discuss the emergent themes across the articles. The report will consist of three sections:
Section 1: your article analyses, in which you assess the absolute and relative quality of each article
Section 2: your synthesis of the three articles, in which you identify and extract themes from the
article/qualitative data set as a whole
Section 3: your conclusions based on what you learned from reviewing all three articles
Identify how mitigation/protective measures support loss prevention.
