Reflect on a communication issue that you currently face or have encountered in the past, either in a professional or academic setting. This issue could involve listening, conflict management, negotiation, persuasion, nonverbal indicators, leadership skills, or another aspect of communication that we have covered in class. Now, conduct research that could help you “fix” the problem and/or learn from it. This paper should be 3 – 4 pages in length, in strict APA format. If the length of the paper is less than 3 pages or exceeds 4 pages, points will be deducted. Due to the nature of this assignment, it is acceptable to use the first person narrative in your paper.
Research Paper Guidelines
When planning and writing your paper, remember to develop a strong, clear thesis statement, and then support it with research throughout the paper. The paper should utilize but at the same time go beyond what we covered throughout the session about communication skills in the workplace. In this paper, your purpose is not merely to summarize literature. Rather, you need to gather factual information, data and/or cases that you can find about the topic, and then support your thesis statement with your references. References must consist of at least 3-4 peer-reviewed articles from scholarly journals.
You may not cite the course textbook (O’Hair, Friedrich, & Dixon, 2016) in your research paper. You also may not cite a non-peer-reviewed article, blog, or other publication that lacks rigor or research. You are required to find, read, and cite peer-reviewed research, and avoid citing sources that are not academic, factual, or research-based.
The research paper will be comprised of the following criteria:
•Each paper will follow the APA format typed and double-spaced utilizing one (1) inch margins and size twelve (12) font in Times New Roman or Arial.
• A title page as well as a reference section will be required and are not included in the length of the assigned papers. The title page will include the assignment title, course number, your name and the date submitted.
• An abstract is not required, but is welcome. If you choose to include an abstract, it will not be included in the 3-4 page requirement of written text in the body of the paper.
• All pages are to be numbered accordingly.
• You are expected to cite at least one new reference per each typed page.
• You are expected to thoroughly proofread and edit your paper before submission. If your paper has spelling, grammatical, editing, and/or APA formatting errors, points will be deducted during the grading process.
Please submit your paper in a Microsoft Word document, and label the file with your last name, first name, and the title of your paper (ex: Raymond, Mary, Negotiation and Conflict Management Research Paper).
