Research Paper Instructions
Please refer to the article submission from Module/Week 1 to
complete the research paper. Please follow and format your
paper accordingly.Step 1
In Module/Week 1, you submitted a scholarly, peer-reviewed
article for approval. For this research paper, you will discuss
the importance of that article in regards to organizational
behavior while using the problem-solving, integrative
framework learned in Chapter 1. With your organizational
problem, provide the following information:

3. 1. Brief summary of the organization.
2. Synopsis of the organizational challenges (Step 1 on the
problem-solving approach)
· What is the major overriding issue?
· Provide the facts and examples to support the explanation of
the problem.
· Discuss key issues that merit the discussion.
3. Who are the various individuals and what part do they play?
(Step 2 on the problem-solving approach)
· What challenges, threats, or opportunities do they pose?
· Explain the role of leadership in the situation.
· Provide any environmental issues that should be considered.
As you discuss these areas to address the first portion of the
problem-solving framework, provide examples and research to
support your discussion. Step 2
Now that you have laid the foundation of the problem, explain
how the theory you researched applies. Provide in depth
analysis with your article as the main evidence.
1. Explain the author’s current view on the chosen
organizational theory and how it relates to your problem.
2. Provide key indicators that the author applies from theory to
the concept in organizational behavior.
3. Discuss what you believe are the most relevant portions of
the article that tie the theory and concepts with your
organizational issue to create an explanation for the problem. In
other words, if you had to explain the organizational issue to
someone, how would you relate it to what the author has
stated?Step 3
The final process (Step 3) in the problem-solving framework is
recommendations. Based on your research, use this final step to
provide recommendation plans for the problem. Do you want to
resolve, solve, or dissolve the problem? Consider the
consequences as well for the plan of action in your
recommendation. Use well-thought-out ideas and research to
support your plan. Describe where you see your personality
style fitting into your recommendation for the organization to

4. make your plan work, to tie in the previous papers. Apply what
you have learned through Scripture, describing how the Lord
can utilize your strengths to implement the recommendation
plan.
Formatting
1. Use proper, current APA format for every element of the
paper. Be sure to include the APA-formatted cover page,
abstract, and reference page. Refer to your APA manual for help
or this site for assistance:
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/18/
2. Write in first person—this is allowed due to the personal
nature of the assignment.
3. To facilitate the instructor’s grading of these assignments,
you must have major headings for Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3.
Additionally, under the major headings, you must have
subheadings as you see fit for the outlined instructions.
4. The exact number of paragraphs that you include in each
section is your decision; your instructor will not be grading you
on how many paragraphs you used per section, but rather the
extent to which you specifically addressed each of the areas
above.
5. The 8–10 required pages do not include the title page,
abstract page, or reference page. Those must be counted as
additional pages.
6. Be sure to double-space, using Times New Roman 12-point
font only, use 1-inch margins, and avoid bold font (except for
headlines, per current APA format), underlining, and
contractions.
7. The reference page must include a minimum of the 5
following references in current APA format (all sources must be
evident within the paper):
· The approved article for research
· The course textbook(s)
· 2 other scholarly sources from a peer-reviewed journal,
· At least 1 of the audio PowerPoint Lessons from any of the
modules/weeks thus far assigned.
