hospitality; manufacturing; mining; retail; transport).
Step 2. Undertake research of the recent academic literature since 2010.
Identify five (5) academic peer reviewed journal articles relevant to the
Assessment 3 Essay topic. It is suggested that you align your selected articles with
the unit themes from Weeks 3 to 5 (e.g. job design, HR planning, recruitment and

presentation for Assessment 2.
Step 3. Write 2 paragraphs on each article (400 words)
For each journal article, you are to write approximately 400 words in two
paragraphs. The first paragraph will summarise the main ideas of the article,
identifying the hypothesis, purpose, research methodology and conclusions. The
second paragraph will identify how you will use that article in relation to the
Assessment 3 Essay.

Plagiarism Copy detection software (TurnitIn) is used in this course and work found in

turnitin.com/en_us/training/student-training/viewing-originality-reports
http:

TurnitIn is only a tool and judgement needs to be used when you view your
Originality Report. TurnitIn does not make a judgement as to what is referenced
properly, it highlights the non-original material in a piece of work. You should use
the similarity score as a guide only and must then check the originality report to
determine whether or not changes need to be made to the assessment.

I found that public services in all countries are experiencing attraction and retention difficulties, but the public sector seems to have some additional challenges compared to the
oader labour market of xyz.
