Research Project: Annotated Bibliography Assignment
Instructions
Overview
After choosing a topic, you will complete the Research
Project:Annotated Bibliography Assignment using the Research
Project: Annotated Bibliography Template provided. This
assignment will be used as a springboard for your research. It
may also be used to begin to explore ideas or concepts you find
interesting within the realm of the topics covered in this class.
Instructions
You must use the Jerry Falwell Library Research Portal and
identify a minimum of 10 scholarly journal articles from peer -
reviewed journals addressing your topic. All references must be
less than 10 years old. Ensure that the document follows current
APA format. When using the provided template, delete the

3. placeholder material and replace it with your own material.
Refer to the Grading Rubric for additional project insights.
You are required to read all instructor feedback and implement
it on future assignments.
The template will provide the layout of the assignment. Once
you have researched and selected your references, the following
should be included in the Annotated Bibliography:
· A brief statement regarding the author and his/her credentials
as an authority.
· A crisp statement regarding the relevance of this article for
your topic.
· A salient or meaningful quote from the article that you would
likely cite if you were to write an essay on this topic.
(Do not include the above criterion prompts in your final
document—it is provided here only for instructional purposes.
Your paper will have the above title and start with the below
section.)
The Research Project:Annotated BibliographyTemplate provides
examples on how the assignment to look. Ensure that you take

Statement of Topic
Kiyonaga (2004) suggests that, “the aging of the largest
generation the United States has ever known will affect every
social institution from employment to health care. Precisely
what the impact will be is, like all future events, still a matter
of prediction. That there will be a major impact is not” (p. 357).
This paper will seek to provide a perspective on the aging of the
workforce with specific attention given to; the potential roles
available for the aging worker, the training available and
offered the aging worker, explore implications for the
organization and finally the role the strategic HR function plays
in propelling the organization forward in dealing with this
issue.

This article contributes significant and relevant statistics which
confirm the pervasiveness of violent incidents in general. The
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
found that 20 persons were murdered at work every week.
Nationally, homicide is the second highest overall cause of
workplace-related deaths; for female workers, homicide is the
leading cause of workplace deaths. Workplace violence now
accounts for 15 percent of the more than 6.5 million violent acts
experienced by U. S. residents who are age 12 or older. (para
7). Kondrasuk provides information also related to a suggested
cause or contributor to the violence – negligent hiring practices.
Numerous suggestions are given throughout the materials
researched for the paper, giving additional thought to the causes
of workplace violence. However, Kondrasuk gives weight to not
only a passing platitude, but supports the concept of negligent
hiring with law and concurrent tort law claims.

Smith (2002) gives critical analysis to the topic of workplace
violence and highlights how ill prepared most U.S. companies
are when faced with the reality of violence. In the research, she
provides several real world examples of workplace violence, the
behavioral backgrounds and pre-incident behaviors of the
employees committing the violent acts. Smith (2002) further
contends that, “employers have both a legal duty and moral
obligation to provide a safe workplace” (p. 39). In addition to
this insight the article contributes to the impact, causes and
prevention of workplace violence. The suggestions are pliable
to most any organization.
