[SOLVED] Recommendations for Leaders and Managers

Maximum Word Length: 3,000 words
Unless otherwise specified, the word count is for the main body of the text and ignores the reference list. If you exceed the word length you will be penalised.
Requirements:
This assignment requires you to present your work in two sections.
Section 1: Recommendations for Leaders and Managers (up to 1,500 words): Identify a topic from the module that has especially captured your attention and interest. Summarise in up to 500 words the practical implications of theory and research into this topic for leaders and managers in organisations who have a responsibility for the well-being of other employees. Then write up to 1,000 words that provide a succinct critical evaluation and summary of the research and theories that led you to the practical implications you identified (i.e., the practical implications in the first 500 words of this section).
Section 2: Recommendations for Employees (up to 1,500 words): Identify a second topic from the module that has especially captured your attention and interest. This topic must be substantially and obviously different to the topic you selected for Section 1. Summarise in up to 500 words the practical implications of theory and research into this topic for employees seeking to use it to protect and / or enhance their own well-being. Then write up to 1,000 words that provide a succinct critical evaluation and summary of the research and theories that led you to the practical implications you have identified (i.e., the practical implications in the first 500 words of this section).
Each Section must have two sub-headings: ‘Practical Implications’ and ‘Critical Review of Research and Theories’. This means your work will have four sub-headings in total. You may choose to add more sub-headings within each section if you feel this would enhance the presentation and clarity of your work. When preparing your assignment, it may help you to first focus your efforts on the Critical Reviews of Research and Theories: this should help you to identify the practical implications you describe under the first sub-heading of each Section. Note: the contents presented under the Practical Implications do not need to be re-iterated in the Critical Review of Research and Theories.

Section 1
Practical Implications Unclear, or no descriptions of implications that have no logical links to research and theories; no focus on implications for leaders and managers Inadequate descriptions of a narrow range of implications; the implications have tenuous or weak logical links to relevant research and theories; inadequate focus on implications for leaders and managers
Limited descriptions of an incomplete range of implications; the implications have limited links to relevant research and theories; some but limited focus on implications for leaders and managers
Adequate descriptions of a sufficient but not fully comprehensive range of implications; the implications have some logical links to relevant research and theories; evident focus on implications for leaders and managers
Good and complete descriptions of an appropriately wide range of implications; the implications have good logical links to research and theories; strong focus on implications for leaders and managers
Excellent descriptions of a comprehensive range of implications; the implications strong logical links to research and theories, reflecting some of their nuances and subtleties; sharp focus on implications for leaders and managers
Outstanding descriptions of a fully comprehensive range of implications; the implications reflect the breadth, nuances and subtleties of the relevant research and theories; implications reflect an exemplary insight into implications for leaders and managers
Section 1
Critical Review of Research and Theories No reference to research and theories that are relevant to the practical implications discussed in Section 1. No discussion of the quality and quantity of research and theory that underpins the practical implications identified in Section 1. Inadequate but some use of a very limited range of research and theories with some relevance to the practical implications discussed in Section 1. Very limited and / or very inaccurate discussion of the quality and quantity of research and theory that underpins the practical implications identified in Section 1. Some appropriate analysis of a limited range of research and theories relevant to some of the practical implications discussed in Section 1. Very limited and / or somewhat inaccurate discussion of the quality and quantity of research and theory that underpins the practical implications identified in Section 1. Adequate analysis of a sufficient range of research and theories relevant to most of the practical implications discussed in Section 1. Adequate and generally accurate discussion of the quality and quantity of research and theory that underpins some of the features of the practical implications identified in Section 1. Good analysis of a wide range of research and theories relevant to all the practical implications discussed in Section 1. Comprehensive and accurate discussion of the quality and quantity of research and theory: this underpins most of the practical implications identified in Section 1. Excellent analysis of an extensive range of research and theories, with strong logical relevance to all the practical implications discussed in Section 1. Extremely comprehensive and highly accurate discussion of the quality and quantity of research and theory: this thoroughly supports the practical implications identified in Section 1. Exemplary analysis of a full range of range of research and theories, with extremely strong relevance to all elements of the practical implications discussed in Section 1. Fully comprehensive and completely accurate discussion of the quality and quantity of research and theory: this completely supports the various features of the practical implications identified in Section 1.
