HRMN 392 (Stress Management in the Workplace) – Annotated Bibliography

 

Create and submit an annotated bibliography of ten credible, scholarly sources

 

I have already gathered a varity 22 scholary articles based on stress (see attached file).  All you have to do is choose a topic based on the top 10 articles that you can fit together nicely and write the bibliographies

 

Annotated bibliography guidelines:

 

1. Each annotation should begin with an accurate and complete reference to the source. APA standards must be followed. The annotation itself should be no longer than four or five sentences.

 

2. Use scholarly sources (not Wikipedia). Consider the credibility of the source.

 

3. The main purpose of the source must be explained. This is usually done in one to three short sentences. Unlike an abstract, an annotation will not summarize the total content of the work.

 

4. Conclude with a summary sentence. For example: “This article provides new information on the sources of workplace violence among female employees.”

 

While I won’t give you specific instruction about the stress management related topic for the annotated bibliography, I would like you to narrow your research down a bit.  In other words rather than simply searching for information about stress management in the workplace I’d like you to focus on a particular aspect of stress management in the workplace.  Here are some ideas:

 

 

• The impact of work related stress on men or the impact of work related stress on women…or marriage…or family…or relationships

 

• Exercise and stress management

 

• Stress and obesity…is there a link

 

• Techniques of managing stress

 

 

No matter which topic you choose, you should be looking for a variety of scholarly sources that will provide information about your particular topic.

Aras, B., & Caha, O. (2000). Fethullah Gulen and his liberal “Turkish Islam” movement. Middle East Review of International Affairs Journal, 4(4). Retrieved on September 6, 2005, from http://www.biu.ac.il/SOC/besa/meria/journal/2000/issue4/ jv4n4a4.html

Fethullah Gulen has founded a movement that attempts to be modernist, nationalist, Islamic, and democratic all at the same time. The article is a brief survey of Gulen, covering his life and influences, the foundations of the movement, the relationship to the military and Islamic community. The secular elites are covered, but not in any great depth. The authors provide a well reasoned and insightful analysis of the significance of the movement, and conclude that Gulen’s role will be an important one as a religious leader in modern Turkey, despite the multiple conflicting interests of his followers.

Babbitt, K. (2005). Mary Magdalene and the drama of saints: Theatre, gender, and religion in late Medieval England. Theatre Journal, 57(2), 331-332. Retrieved on September 6, 2005, from http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/theatre_journal/v057/ 57.2babbitt.html

The author provides an in-depth review of Theresa Coletti’s book (ISBN-13: 978-0812238006) based on the Bodleian Library manuscript Digby 133 (the Digby Mary Magdalene). He is very favorable of the book, describing the author’s analysis as knowledgeable, thorough, and cohesive. Babbitt highly recommends the text for anyone interested in looking at the performance of religion, especially in light of gender issues.
