HRM 3903Honors Management, Theory and Practice: The State of Labor in the Post-COVID Workplace3

The COVID-19 pandemic unveiled what were already deep fissures in the relationship between workers and capital. For some American workers, workplace shutdowns and stimulus checks granted a chance to pause and contemplate a life with less hustle. This novel experience of time reinvigorated the concept of "anti-work" and spawned the notion of "quiet quitting" among those who felt discomfort with their newfound consciousness of their labor utility. The Anti-work subreddit home of these nouveau Thoreaus boasts over 2.5 million "idlers" and a tag line that reads "unemployment for all, not just the rich!" On the other hand, workers deemed "essential" in health care, retail, education and human services were forced to hustle even harder, often at the expense of their own mental and physical health. This class will explore the resurgence of organized labor and the changing nature of work since the beginning of the pandemic, examining their causes and consequences, and offering implications for managers, employees, and union members and leaders. Note: Prior to Fall 2023, the course was titled "Honors - Management, Theory & Practice: From the Locker Room to the Board Room."

HRM 3904Honors, The Leadership Experience: Leading Yourself, Leading Change, Leading Communities3

Leadership is a hot topic in social sciences, management, and popular culture. Ask ten people "what makes a good leader?" and you might get ten different answers. Our subject is to explore leadership as a discipline, or as scholars. More specifically, as current Honors students, you represent our future leadership. To effectively lead, having a basic understanding of the core tenets and theoretical foundations is important, but insight into your strengths and capabilities as a potential leader is essential. Thus, this course will provide you with foundational knowledge on core principles of leadership. More importantly, this course will focus on reflection, assessment, and development on the core skill sets required of effective leaders. Finally, you will be challenged to leverage your unique strengths in a team setting to enact and inspire change within your community.

HRM 5122Leading with a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Perspective3

Leaders are continually being asked to develop initiatives within their organizations that drive revenue, enhance culture, improve service delivery, and increase employee engagement. They are being asked to lead these initiatives with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion or DEI. While these human resource "buzzwords" have led to noble efforts, the initiatives are often undertaken with a "check the box" or "avoid a lawsuit" perspective. Of course, compliance with organizational policies and avoiding lawsuits are not to be understated, but rarely do initiatives with this underlying charge drive desired organizational outcomes. This course is designed to go beyond compliance and review dynamics such as unconscious bias, privilege, and micro-aggressions that can keep organizations from attracting and retaining top talent. Course content includes global history and its influence on how and why isms exist, emotional intelligence (to serve as the model for providing clarity on the complex topic of DEI), how and why DEI programs succeed, and how to develop the leadership behavior of Cultural Humility. Come to class prepared to investigate your own identities, to increase your ability to regulate unproductive behaviors, to build empathy for your colleagues from all backgrounds, and to establish effective working relationships that will support your leadership competence and ultimately, organizational success!

HRM 9005Seminar in Functional Human Resource Management3

This is a PhD seminar course in functional/micro human resource management (HRM) that aims at providing you, as a doctoral student, with substantive knowledge and skills necessary to become a competent HRM researcher. The field of functional/micro HRM is vast and much broader than strategic/macro HRM. Given the size of the functional HRM literature, this course is not exhaustive; rather, it will introduce you to some key topics spanning recruitment, personnel selection, training and development, performance management and compensation, and employee withdrawal and turnover as well as exemplary recent research. An important challenge that you face as a doctoral student is developing your own "mental map" of this vast field. The role in this course is to provide a guided tour through the field of functional HRM so that you can begin to develop this map. That is, the major goal of this seminar is that you develop a broad familiarity with functional HRM research and theory, develop analytic skills necessary to critically evaluate and integrate work in this area, and apply pertinent HRM theory and concepts to your particular research interests.

HRM 9006Doctoral Seminar in Meta-analysis and Research Synthesis Methods3

Meta-analysis is aimed at the synthesis and generalization of primary research findings that seem to conflict with one another to draw simple yet significant conclusions. The essence of meta-analysis is that it is the research process of cumulating and synthesizing effect sizes (e.g., correlations) of a number of primary studies on the same topic by the application of research, measurement, and statistical techniques as normally addressed in a typical primary study (i.e., problem selection, hypothesis formulation, definition and measurement of constructs and variables, sampling, coding, and data-analysis.
