Final Paper
All students will create a final literature review paper on which their video note presentation will be based on in Week 15.
The following are the instructions for the final term paper:
1. Pick a Leadership Style: The topic needs to focus on a leadership theory you like and the ethical perspective that drives you. Watch the Video: Ten Leadership Theories, this might give you an idea of the leadership style you would like to employ. If you know of another leadership style no mentioned in the video you are welcome to research it.
2. Pick an Ethical Theory: The ethical theory can be any of the following, virtue ethics, ethical egoism, Kantian, care ethics, Plato’s ethics, or utilitarianism.
3. Write a Research Question: Your research questions should narrowly define what it is you want to research. The topic should focus on a specific leadership theory/theories and focus on one ethical theory. And explain the need to research this topic.
Example of Research Question: Can you be a transactional leader in a factory setting that has strict output demands and employ care ethics with the line workers that you have limited time with?
4. Find Scholarly or Peer-Reviewed Articles: Attempt to find both leadership and ethics literature that is related to your research question.
5. Literature Review: Explain what the literature has to say on the topic you are researching. You will use the 15 or more articles that you pulled and explain what the literature says about your research topic. Use proper in-text citations in your literature review.
