Introduction Human resource management (HRM) refers to policies, practices and systems used to manage employees’ attitudes, behaviours and performance at work (Kramar, Bartram & Cieri, 2011). Through HRM, organisations seek to implement optimal ways of attracting, developing, rewarding and retaining employees who possess the right mix of skill, ability, knowledge and motivation. It is generally recognised that HRM policies and practices are key determinants of the effectiveness and competitive of contemporary businesses and organizations.

This unit provides an introduction to the field of HRM, and therefore we will be covering a wide range of topics. The unit will cover the main functions usually associated with HRM: HRM’s roles and responsibilities in organisations, strategic HRM, planning & forecasting work design, recruitment, selection, performance management, remuneration, training & development, equal employment opportunity, workplace diversity, and occupational health and safety. In addition to covering key theoretical perspectives, illustrative examples of HRM in practice will be provided from both public and private sector organisations in Australia and overseas.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Each lecture will be linked to a specific topic (see Unit Outline). At the conclusion of each lecture, I will provide a list of Key Learning Points – things I expect you to have learned and understood about the topic.

'Tutorial presentation': Reflective Online Learning

ROLs are ongoing and will run from Teaching Week Four. This is an online exercise that requires active participation from students. ROL is a mechanism to further enhance the understanding of some very important topics in HRM. ROL is a series of discussion forums anchored around two case studies. Real-life cases are used to demonstrate how theories are applied in organisations. Your tutor will facilitate the discussion - use the time to make sure you understand fully the material covered.

Attendance

Participation in class, whether it be listening to a lecture or getting involved in other activities, is an important part of the learning process, therefore attendance for this unit is highly encouraged and recommended. Please note that lecture notes are designed for those attending lectures or listening to the iLecture. Without attending or listening to the iLecture, lecture notes may not be useful to your learning.

Self-online learning – WileyPLUS

We use 'WileyPLUS Learning Space' (the textbook's online learning tool) in this course. If you love interactive online learning with videos, practical examples, “try it yourself” questions, case studies and quizzes, then you will find WileyPLUS Learning Space to be a great resource.

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. 'Tutorial Presentation': Reflective Online Learning (ROL) (15%) and Quizzes (10%)

Reflective Online Learning (ROL) (15%)

ROLs are ongoing and will run from Teaching Week Four. This is an online exercise that requires active participation from students. ROL is a mechanism to further enhance the understanding of some very important topics in Human Resource Management (Introduction). ROL is a series of discussion forums anchored around two case studies.

Students will have to read the cases (which will be added into the discussion board each week) based on topics and concepts studied in the unit. Please note that case studies will digress into related topics from other units that you have studied, so it is empirical students actively participate in the forum to discuss their understanding of the case(s) as well as reflect upon their own work and life experiences.

TWO ROL exercises (7.5% each) will be conducted during a semester. For each ROL, students are required to post at least TWO times in the ROL discussion forum. Please note your ROL grade will be determined from the quality as well as quantity of your posts’ contribution (please see the ROL assessment rubric posted on Blackboard for the specific criteria upon which you will be assessed).

Each contribution should be around 350 words in length, with around THREE academic references as backup, which enhances the quality of your answer, and linking the case back to relevant HRM theory.

Quality: Quality of participation is evident where posts are insightful, have practical value, offer logical arguments or explanations, demonstrate depth of understanding of the issue and related concepts, and are engaging reading (e.g. interesting examples, succinct writing). The forum topic is an applied case, so quality includes meaningful examples and useful ideas, particularly when based on sound logic. Long dialogue, dumping raw information, and random comments don’t add value; consequently, they may result in a lower grade than those with fewer and more succinct contributions.

Quantity: you are expected to contribute at least FOUR posts during a semester (two per ROL). Students are expected to meaningfully participate in the online ROL discussion forum. Non participation results in a zero grade for the forum. Less than FOUR quality posts (for the ROL exercise in total) will automatically result in a fail mark for the ROL exercise.

A mock ROL will be posted on Blackboard during the second and third weeks of the semester, so that students get a feel of what ROL is all about and can have practice sessions to gain confidence in using the Blackboard discussion boards. The due dates of the actual ROL exercises are in the unit calendar.

Note: ROL is the equivalent of a tutorial. The only difference is that it is conducted online.

Quizzes (10%)

Students are required to complete 10 online MCQ quizzes (10 MCQ questions in each quiz) from Teaching Week 2-11. Each set is related to the lecture topic of the previous week and is open for a period of one week. For example, the topic of job analysis and designed is presented by the lecturer on week 3, and the quiz will be open on from Monday to Sunday of week 4. Each test is located in the ‘Unit Resource’ section of Blackboard and has the time limited of 30 minutes and 2 attempts.

2. Case Study (25%)

Students are required to analyse a case study. The case study for this semester is an interactive case study which will be uploaded onto the Assessments tab on Blackboard for students to access. Please refer to the details on Blackboard for the details of the assignment.

Student's essays will be assessed primarily on the ability to recognise, analyse and discuss the key issues, theories and practices relevant to the case study. Please refer to the Assessments tab on Blackboard for further details.

It is important for students to bear in mind that their essay needs to be well structured and coherent such that it :

l clearly communicates their insightful and critical thinking. l adheres to the Chicago referencing style. l adheres to the minimum amount of academic (peer-reviewed journal articles) sources is 10 l is accompanied by the assignment cover sheet. The assignment cover sheet can be downloaded from

Blackboard. l it adheres to the word limit: 2000 - students are given a leeway of 10% (1800 words or 2200 words.

This word limit does not include the cover page or reference list). Students will be penalised 10% for every 20 words over/under the stipulated word count

l clearly reflects your tutor’s name on the cover sheet. Failure to do so may result in late penalties or the essay not being marked. Therefore, it is the student's responsibility to ensure they know who their tutor is before the due date.

l it coherently structured. Students are encouraged to use headings and subheadings in their essay;

You will be required to email your tutor with your assignment if you are unable to submit your assignment via Turnitin. Please note that late penalties will apply accordingly.

Essays must be submitted via Turnitin and you are strongly advised to retain the receipt of your Turnitin submission as evidence of your submission. There is NO need to submit a hard copy of your essay. Turnitin can be access via the 'Assessment' section of Blackboard.

Please submit your work to Turnitin which checks your work for any evidence of Plagiarism. You can submit two drafts which should be submitted to the 'DRAFT - Case Study Essay' section and the FINAL copy goes to 'FINAL - Case Study Essay' section. 

It is the student's responsibility to ensure that their submission into Turnitin is successful; failure to do so may result in penalties.  

3. Final Examination (50%)

The final exam will be held during the formal examination period. It is the responsibility of the student to check the date, time and venue of the final examination on the Curtin website. This information will not be provided by lecturers or tutors.

The exam is 2 hours in duration, with 10 minutes reading time. All questions will be based upon course content and no examination hints will be provided. It will be a closed book examination. It is recommended that students collate and regularly revise their notes from readings, lectures, tutorials and further research throughout the semester. This will assist them to see the main themes and to more clearly understand key concepts and ideas. Students are required to list their class tutor (NOT THE LECTURER, UNLESS YOUR LECTURER AND TUTOR ARE THE SAME PERSON) on the front cover of the examination booklet. If your examination booklet information is not correctly completed, staff may not be able to correctly assign your grade.

Exam Format The examination will comprise two parts:

Part A requires students to complete two (2) essay answers from a choice of four (4). Each essay is worth 15 marks making a total of 30 marks for Part A; Part B is a case study with two (2) questions and you are required to answer both questions. Each question is worth 10 marks making a total of 20 marks for Part B.

Pass requirements

To pass this unit, students are required to demonstrate a credible attempt at all assessments AND achieve an overall mark of at least 50%.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(e.g. a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (e.g. examinations, tests) or due date/time (e.g. assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

Deferred assessments

If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

Deferred examinations/tests will be held from 17/07/2017 to 28/07/2017 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners’ meeting via the Official Communications Channel (OCC) in OASIS.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course. Assessments under investigation will not be given a mark until the matter is concluded. This may result in the unit grade being withheld or a grade of Fail Incomplete (F-IN) until a decision has been made by the Student Disciplinary Panel. This may impact on enrolment in further units/study periods.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm

Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.
