A Review of Relevant HRM Literature
You will develop a literature review paper (about 15 pages, excluding tables, figures,
and references) and conduct an eight-minute presentation (plus three minutes for
questions and answers), concerning the current state of research in one of the
research areas listed below (or you may choose another area/topic of your interest but
it must be related to human resource management or organizational behavior). In this

hospitality and tourism journals. Suggested topics of the paper include:

or the theory being introduced? What is the topic about?)

o What studies have been done on this topic in hospitality and tourism (or in
management)? (20+ articles)

o What were the key findings?
o What were the limitations of these studies?
o What can be done to address those limitations?
o What else can be done to help improve our understanding of the topic being
discussed?
