Students are advised to check this handbook and to see if there are any online/noticeboard announcements or FAQ answers that deal with their enquiry before contacting staff.
Introduction from the Module Leader
The module aims to develop the basic managerial skills necessary for effective performance in the workplace and for continuous self-development. The context for developing these skills and understanding is recognised as a world where change is ubiquitous, where organisations face the challenges of increased globalisation of markets, communication and resources and the acceleration of technological change and where the impact on organisations is difficult to predict. In this context the module content has been collated around three themes:
Perspectives on People – which looks at individual differences affecting orientation to work and learning
Perspectives on Organising – which looks at the development of managerial thinking and at approaches to organisation analysis
Strategies for Managing People – which examines strategies for getting, keeping, developing, and motivating the workforce.
The module is designed to be thought provoking in respect of how the human capital of organisations, think in terms of employees, is managed, led, and organised. Is the humanity of an organisation perceived by leaders and managers to be a liability, a threat, or a rich resource to be mined and nurtured? Is there “one-best-way” to organise? Your life experience, to date, will have helped shape your thoughts and beliefs on how organisations should be organised. That said, the module content invites you to challenge yourself and you are thinking over the next twelve weeks. Use the time and space the module provides to question some of your held beliefs. This is a time to think critically about the ways in which organisations utilise their major resource: their people. I believe the module content to be highly relevant to you, as a future leader and decision maker with the potential to shape the working lives of others. The module assessments ask you to consider two opposing viewpoints; the success of an organisation being because of the commitment of motivated individuals; or a result of stringent employee controls. There is no right answer. The module aims to nurture your critical thinking skills and enable you to view organisational dilemmas within a pluralistic framework. Shakiya will be delivering the lectures and seminars on the module alongside colleagues (Dr Niaz, Dr Ahmed, Tanbeen, Dr Ola and Michele) will also be delivering tutorials and seminar activities. We recognise that there will be different levels of underpinning knowledge amongst the cohort. We ask that you are pro-active in your studies. Please read the topic content in advance. We anticipate that you carry out your own research of the topics to achieve your learning objectives, to include, online resources; journal articles; textbook chapters etc. Please aim to come to the sessions prepared to contribute to the class discussion. Do not expect to be given all the resources you need within the classroom
. Individuals will have different learning needs. The tutors will aim to prompt your interest and raise issues for your consideration. As tutors we can guide you towards resources and answer your questions about individual topics. A useful suggestion is to create a “Mind-Map” or Aide Memoire of the concepts and theoretical perspectives which come to your attention during the taught sessions; to capture the ideas and avenues of thought you may usefully pursue in connection with the module assignments. I hope I have stimulated your interest. If you miss a class then you must ensure that you catch up on any work missed, because every session is important in a different way. The activities in the module are all relevant to the assessments.
2
Please remember that formal module teaching takes place in the classroom, but learning can take place anywhere you allow it to. Your primary commitment must be to your academic studies. For every hour spent in class you are expected to spend a minimum of another four hours in independent study.
This includes reading and preparation for the next seminar as well as working both individually and in your action learning sets. If you follow this advice, then you are likely to perform well on this module.
Based on student feedback several changes have been made to the module which includes assessment and seminar activities. We have moved from 100% coursework to 40% oral examination and 60% coursework mode. The seminar content has been integrated with broadcasting media as requested. Additional assessment guidance documents will be provided as per student feedback on the module evaluation. Best Wishes Shakiya Nisa (Module Leader) Meet The Module Team

Module Aims 1
Perspectives on People – which looks at individual differences affecting orientation to work and learning
2
Perspectives on Organising – which looks at the development of managerial thinking and at approaches to organisation analysis
3
Strategies for Managing People – which examines strategies for recruiting, retaining, developing, and motivating the workforce.
Module Learning Outcomes
1
Critically evaluate the different approaches and main theoretical contributions of management practice, organisational dynamics, and interpersonal relations at work.
2
Critically analyse the contribution that strategies, policies, and practices can contribute to organisational effectiveness.
3
Critically evaluate and produce a justifiable realistic strategic action plan for management to follow taking into consideration the organisational working practice and the impact of policy, practice, and organisational outcomes on working relationships.
Module Learning Activities The teaching and learning strategy stresses an inter-dependent and independent learning approach in which learners are expected to move from dependence upon tutors towards a position where they are taking increasing responsibility for their own learning and development as self-managing learners. For this reason, the learning sessions will be based primarily around classroom discussions but will also include classroom-based activities in the form of lectures, group exercises, role plays, case studies and videos. In addition, learners are expected to share relevant work issues/problems for scrutiny, comparison, diagnosis, and analysis which will further improve their communication and interpersonal skills.
Students will be particularly encouraged to research MPO and relate it to the business policies and procedures of organisations (local / global). The module will introduce students to a range of contemporary and critical readings in addition to a range of introductory texts. This is designed to develop students understanding of the complexity of organisational analysis. Also, to develop the capacities that will enable the students to make sense of and deal with open-ended organisational problems and issues.
Students will be required to work both individually and in groups to develop critical understanding of how people within an organisation have individual differences, and how this impacts motivation at work, additionally how group dynamics and team building have an impact on people at work. Then the students go on to explore perspectives on organising and how management is defined and implemented in the world of work, we explore theories of Leadership, how politics, power, authority, and conflict influence organisational behaviour and how this may be linked to culture and Organisational culture
4
Finally, the students will look at strategies for managing people by investigating the link between business strategy and the management of people in organisations, the alternative HRM approaches and their impact this can have on the growth of on business and personal achievement of employees. An exploration into how the contribution HRM policies and activities can make on organisation effectiveness
A range of tasks and activities to include group discussions and sharing of specific answers/outcomes with other groups.
These activities enable formative feedback, both from peers and from the tutor which will feed forward into the summative assessment, and develops your understanding of the perspectives on people, organising and strategies for managing people. Guidance on independent study will be provided at each tutorial, so that you may attend fully prepared and ready to participate in activities. Independent study
Independent study will involve directed reading allocated weekly as specified within the learning support materials / workbooks complemented by access to audio and video recordings. The module is fully supported in the Virtual Learning Environment.
You are expected to download your own copies of tutorial slides from the VLE before the weekly session. Three hours contact per week (1 hour lecture and 2 hours seminar) will comprise of formal lecture and tutorial input. You will be given a range of case studies and journal articles in the tutorial sessions. Relevant information is also available within your Course Handbook, which is available via MyBeckett and https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/student-information/course-information/course-handbooks/
Communication
All relevant information about the module teaching and learning will be posted on the VLE site (MyBeckett). We will be using MS Teams to host meeting online virtual with students based on request. So, you should regularly check for updates and announcements. If appropriate, the module team may also use Leeds Beckett email and the student portal for communication.
You must notify your Course Administrator (
managementadminPG@leedsbeckett.ac.uk
) if you are absent for more than one day (for example, an interview, emergency unforeseen circumstances, or compassionate leave). If you are going to apply for mitigation you will need to provide written evidence of the reason for your absence (see Extenuating Circumstances and Mitigation
for further information).
Student Email Guidance & Good Patrice Students must always use their student email account to communicate with staff at the University. We will not respond to private email messages. Email Protocol - Writing your email
Emails should be written politely and formally when communicating with staff and external agencies using your university email. You can use the following guidelines to help you construct a professional email.
Subject line
5
All emails should include a subject line outlining the content of the email. This enables staff to quickly sift through emails and respond to those which may be urgent. For example, if your email is module related, then this should be included in the subject line. If your email is personal, please start the subject line with personal, followed by a brief description of the content of the email.
Font style
In accordance with the Equality Act 2010 and the University Equality and Diversity Policy, emails should be pre-set in an accessible format, i.e., one of Comic Sans, Arial, or Verdana and at a minimum of font 12.
Appropriate salutation
Use Dear or Hi (name). Do not use less formal body of text
You should write in plain English, being precise and to the point. Do not use text language. Short emails and presenting the facts are much better than lengthy emails. In addition, you need to construct your email to ensure that they are polite and request help, etc., rather than demanding help or feedback.
Appropriate sign-off
You need to conclude your email with — Appropriate sign-off (e.g., "Regards/Best Wishes/Thanks"). In addition, you must include your full name, student number, course name and level
to ensure that a more personal response can be written.
Getting a response
When emailing staff regarding course matters, the university policy is for staff to respond within five working days.
There may be times when you get a response much sooner than this if a staff member is dealing with emails or the matter is urgent. Please expect that responses are likely to take up to the full five working days in most instances.
Typical working hours for staff are between 9am and 5pm
. If you email after 5pm your response may not be acknowledged until the following day. The five-day turnaround will then commence from 9am on that day. If you email later in the week, please be aware that you may not get a response until the following week as Saturday and Sunday are not formal working days.
What do I do if I do not respond within 5 working days?
Please check that your original email was written using the guidelines outlined above. If not, a staff member may have decided not to reply to your email as it was inappropriate.
Contact Hours
Each week you will have a one-hour lecture and a two-hour seminar, a total of 36-hour contact time on the module as per the delivery schedule. A student guide on contact hours is available here: https://www.qaa.ac.uk/docs/qaa/quality-code/contact-hours-student.pdf?sfvrsn=5046f981_8
Key Resources to Support Learning
A reading List has been created for the module; it will automatically appear in the left-hand menu in the student view of the module in the Virtual Learning Environment (MyBeckett). Students are expected to explore the subject beyond introductory texts. Your reading should include both critical and contemporary perspectives and research. Practitioner and professional journals will consider key topical issues affecting today's managers while refereed (academic) journals offer more critical and analytical perspectives.

Feedback on Your Assessments
Feedback forms a large part of your learning experience and is vital to your personal and professional development. Whatever your academic level, building on your feedback is vital. Noting and acting on feedback is key to independent learning, continued progress and long-term success.
https://libguides.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/skills-for-learning/building-on-feedback
Please attend scheduled drop-in sessions for both assessments. Tutor will provide formative feedback over your draft face to face verbally.
Summative feedback will be provided through My Beckett after submission of report. That will be written feedback.
Understanding Your Assessment Responsibilities Please refer to Course Handbook
Extenuating Circumstances and Mitigation
If you are experiencing problems which are adversely affecting your ability to study (called 'extenuating circumstances'), then you can apply for mitigation. You can find full details of how to apply for mitigation at:
https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/student-information/exams-assessments-and-awards/mitigation-and-
extenuating-circumstances/
.
For students requiring 5-day extensions on coursework submissions, you do not have to apply for this. Instead, you will be permitted to submit up to 5 working days after the deadline without incurring a late penalty. This will be called the flexible submission period. Full details of this policy can be found here
.
The University operates a fit to sit/fit to submit approach to extenuating circumstances which means students who take their assessment are declaring themselves fit to do so. More information is available at the above link and here: https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/student-information/exams-assessments-and-
awards/examinations/
Late Submission
Without any form of extenuating circumstances, standard penalties apply for late submission of assessed work. Full details of the penalties for late submission of course work are available at https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/our-university/public-information/academic-regulations/
.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a fundamental principle within the University and is strongly linked to good academic practice. All assessments must be submitted with due attention to issues of academic integrity, expression, and good academic practice, including clarity in grammar, semantics and syntax. Any suspected breach of academic integrity will be investigated by the University and could have serious consequences on your studies. Breaches of academic integrity include (but are not limited to) plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating. Definitions and the potential consequences of an admitted or found breach of academic integrity are detailed in the Academic Regulations at: https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/our-university/public-information/academic-regulations/
.
There are a range of resources available to help you understand what is and what is not permitted and how to use other people’s ideas in your assessed work. These include the LBU Academic Integrity tutorial,

which is available on Academic Integrity Tutorial for 2023/24
and the Skills for Learning website which you can access here https://libguides.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/skills-for-learning/
. An Academic Integrity Factsheet for Students is available to view at: https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/student-information/academic-skills-

.
Your Feedback on the Module
A mid-module review will be timetabled into your module by week 7. This is an opportunity to resolve modular issues promptly early on in the module. In addition, you will have the opportunity to provide feedback formally at the end of your module-. These comments will be reviewed by your course team and some may be considered via the course monitoring and enhancement process, in which your Course Representative is involved.
