Write a literature review for any topic related to a CONTEMPORARY issue in business. The topic I chose is related to Human Resource Management and Organisational Behavior. Evaluate the short and long term impacts of positive changes in the conditions of workers (eg compensation, vacation time, training and safety regulations, maternity leave, work life balance, general job satisfaction) on the productivity and profits that business shareholders get.
I suggest using the following organisational theories:
Value Disciplines model by Treacy and Wiersema
Organisational Effectiveness and Stakeholder Management by Robey and Sales
Affective organisational commitment by Meyer and Allen
Hygiene Theory by Herzberg
Hierarchy of Needs by Maslow
I suggest using the following keywords:
motivation and employee productivity
unionisation and collective bargaining outcomes
worker-employer relationships
bottom line revenue and profits
long term vs short term
cultivation of talent
non-discrimination, pros and cons of a diverse workplace
workers’ rights in the modern gig economy
long term social and economic impacts of income inequality
