Dissertation Chapter – Literature Review
Assignment Type and Guidelines:
LITERATURE REVIEW
Each student will prepare and submit a 9-12 full pages APA formatted literature review of their selected topic, with a minimum of 20 scholarly sources (page count does not include cover page or Reference page). The usage of websites should be limited; thus, a maximum of two websites (preferably scholarly) are permissible for this assignment.
The literature review will:
- provide a general overview of the topic area,
- highlight themes or sub-topics, and
- provide at least two perspectives within the topic (dominate perspective/proponents and minority perspective/opponents).
A literature review is source-driven, not student opinion, nor should student necessarily draw conclusions or propose recommendations.
Student will identify at least one (1) theory that is suitable and associated with the chosen topic (example: contingency theory, generation theory, complexity theory, group dynamics theory, spirituality theory, feminist, stigma theory, etc.
Topic:
Literature Review: The Impact of leadership on conflict management.
(Note: The goal of this Lit Review is to focus on summarizing the sources, and Identify 1 or more theory that relates to the topic. I would be satisfied with 1 or 2 theories.)
