Human Resource Management

HRMD 630 Final Exam

This is an open book exam that must be completed as an individual assignment.

Essay Questions

Human Resource Management

Respond to all three of the following questions. Individual answers should be a minimum of 250 words but not be more than 500 words each.

ESSAY QUESTIONS

Question #1 (25 points)

You have just signed on as the Manager of Human Resources for a large manufacturing company in the Chicago area. Your company manufactures parts to the automotive industry such as air duct assemblies for various models of new vehicles as well as to the secondary market for these same parts. Upon conducting an audit of HR initiatives and trying to understand the challenges you want to tackle, you find that the overall turnover rate for this company is 37%. You have not worked in this specific industry but you feel at first glance that this number is high. Based on this limited information that you have, lay out a strategy for addressing turnover. You should include the following in your answer:,

1. Is the 37% turnover a cause for concern? How would you go about finding out this information?,

2. What additional data will you gather to learn more about the turnover in this organization? Remember that your readings discuss different types of turnover and this should be addressed in your answer along with any benefits of turnover.,

3. Assume that you find that the turnover is problematic. Particularly you discover that the turnover for non-exempt staff is 42% – well over the total turnover for the organization. ,Prepare a strategy to suggest to the CEO for addressing this turnover, specifically addressing possible causes of the turnover and solutions related to those causes. You will need to think about many of the concepts we have discussed throughout this course in order to answer this question fully.

Question #2 (25 points) Human Resource Management

Discuss the criteria for good cutoff scores as viewed by the courts. You should be able to state clearly what the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures say about cutoff scores.

Question #3 (50 points)

For this question, assume you are employed as an HR consultant for a mid-sized bank. The bank employs 200 tellers across its branches. Review the details of the teller position as provided on O*Net ( http://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/43-3071.00 ).

Based on this information, the bank decides that the ideal candidate for this position will possess the following factors:

1. Have at least a high school EDUCATION (bachelor’s or associate’s degree desirable).

2. Have EXPERIENCE as a teller or in a related field (cashier, billing clerk)

3. Be able to perform basic MATH SKILLS related to banking (for example, count currency quickly and accurately and balance a cash drawer correctly).

4. Be KNOWLEDGEABLE OF VERIFICATION requirements for bank transactions (for example, errors in check and proper identification to authorize transactions).

5. Have good INTERPERSONAL SKILLS (for example, speak clearly, make good eye contact and develop rapport easily).

6. Be MOTIVATED to work.

PART 1: Identify which selection methods (e.g. resume, interview, test, role play exercise, reference check or personality inventory) you would recommend for each of the six factors listed above. You can use the same selection method more than once if you believe it is appropriate for more than one factor. Below is an example of how you might justify using an application form as an appropriate selection method for education.

1. Education – selection method: Application Form

Justification: A question on the application form can ask applicants to describe their education. This selection method makes it easy and inexpensive to obtain this information.

2. Work Experience – selection method: _________________________________________

Justification:

3. Math Skills – selection method: __________________________________

Justification:

4. Verification Knowledge – selection method: __________________________________

Justification:

5. Interpersonal Skills – selection method: ______________________________________

Justification:

6. Work Motivation – selection method: ______________________________________

Justification:

Part 2:

The bank collected the following data over the past five years:

Males applied = 200 Females applied = 300

Males hired = 40 Females hired = 45

Based on this information, the selection ratio for men is 20% (40/200), whereas the selection ratio for women is 15% (45/300). Dividing the minority group (women) by the majority group (men) results in an answer of 75% (15%/20%). Since the result is less than 80%, adverse impact exists. The organization needs to explore the selection process to identify what might be the cause of this disparity.

In this part of the question – you will conduct this analysis.

The bank compiled selection data on three racial groups during the past year: Caucasians, African Americans and Latinos. The data is as follows:

Human Resource Management

	Number applied	Number hired
Caucasians	90	27
African Americans	50	10
Latinos	40	10

Answer the following:

a. What are the selection ratios for each of the three groups?

b. Does adverse impact exist when you compare the African American applicant pool with the Caucasian applicant pool? Show your work.

c. Does adverse impact exist when you compare the Latino applicant pool with the Caucasian applicant pool? Show your work.

Water Filtration Plant

By Academic Wizard Blog

Water Filtration Plant

A fresh young graduate from Bahrain polytechnic came up with an idea to set up a Water Treatment Plant to purify polluted ground water. Figure 1 shows the

schematic of the water filtration plant with two overhead tanks namely overhead tank 1 and overhead tank 2. The plant also has 3 filtration units namely filtration

plant 1, plant 2 & plant 3 respectively. The idea is to purify impure ground water and store it in overhead plant 2.

Figure 1- Water Treatment Plant

Important Information

1. Dimensions of Overhead Tank 1 & 2

a. Length = 6.75 m

b. Breadth = 4 m

c. Height = 4 m

d. The tank should be filled in 10 hours

2. Distance between each tank is 2 Meters

3. Arrows represent the direction of flow

4. Each tank as following dimensions –

a. Length = 3m

b. Breadth = 4 m

c. Height = 5 m

5. It’s important to show your final layout. You can use a handmade sketch or simple components using SMART DRAW or any other software of your

choice, but the idea should be clear and complete. Incomplete layouts will affect your grades.

6. Individual presentations and 1-1 Q&A sessions will be conducted after finalizing the date but the trainees have to submit the presentations

on Moodle on or before 12th of April 2025.

7. The placement of pumps, venturi meter, valves, etc. is purely based on your technical decisions. The schematic does not contain all the im-

portant components required to complete the fluid flow process.

Engineering Design Process

By Academic Wizard Blog

Engineering Design Process – Athlete Monitoring The Crimson Tide football program has asked the Integrated Center for Athletic and Sport Technology (ICAST – http://icast.eng.ua.edu/), a research unit of the University of Alabama, to develop proposals for wearable technologies to support athlete monitoring. The specific athlete monitoring needs that the team has identified include:

• Monitor the number and force of impacts to the head during training and competition;

• Monitor acceleration and maximum speeds during training and competition;

• Monitor body temperature and environmental conditions (air temperature and humidity) during training;

• Monitor water consumption of athletes throughout practice, games, and their daily living.

Before the football program financially supports any of the ICAST ideas to develop these technologies, they have asked for project proposals that outline the design process and engineering solutions. As a computer engineer that is on the ICAST team, you have been asked to prepare these details of the Engineering Design Process (specifically steps 1 through 3) for ONE of the potential ideas above. Instructions and Deliverables: The following instructions and questions are to help guide you through preparing the requested details. You will upload your answers to each of these questions on Blackboard. While you can work with a partner to discuss each question, both partners must submit their own answers written in their own words. For all short-answer questions you must use complete sentences with appropriate language for the course. Considering the Engineering Design Process:,

1) Referring to the class notes what are the 7 stages of the engineering design process?, List them all and in your list bold the 3 steps that will be the focus of your ICAST proposal. 2) ,Which of the needs from the team will you be applying the engineering design process for this proposal?,

• This will be a multiple-choice question on Blackboard for you to select

ECE 121-001 M3 – Engineering Design Process

Revision: 2 Revision Date: 15-Feb-2025 Engineering Design Process

Focusing on your selected need for the athletes, you must ask critical questions about this problem and topic area (Step 1 of the engineering design process) so you can better understand it. To help with this process answer the following questions in complete sentences:

3) Who are the groups of people that have a stake in this project and the need it addresses? Name all the groups of people that you think have a stake in the project to address the stated athlete need. Remember, stake in this context means they are either directly involved in making decisions during the process or they are impacted by the decisions/actions made by others in this process. Be sure to note which category (decision-maker or impacted) each of your named groups of people belong to. 4) What knowledge already exists about this problem that can help you understand it further? Using Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) search and report 1 relevant academic paper that helped you understand this problem.

• For this process, use keywords that are important to your topic for the search. If Dr. Freeborn was searching for academic papers related to knee injuries in football the following terms would likely be useful:

o “knee injuries” +football +college o Do your search while on the UA eduroam wifi network. While

connected to this network, you will get access to academic articles that you normally have to pay for if you access them off campus (the University pays a lot of money every year to get students and faculty this access).

• For your relevant paper, summarize 3 specific pieces of information that you learned in this article and explain why you think they are useful to the problem you are working to solve.

• For your relevant paper, provide the citation details so that someone could easily find this paper later. This requires stating the authors, article title, journal the article is published in, journal volume, journal number, journal pages, and publication year.

o Example: The citation details for Dr. Freeborn’s academic paper on tissue changes due to eccentric exercise are:

§ T.J. Freeborn, G. Regard, B. Fu, “Localized bicep tissue bioimpedance alterations following eccentric exercise in healthy young adults,” IEEE Access, vol. 8, pp. 23100-23109, 2020.

Revision: 2 Revision Date: 15-Feb-2025

5) What are two questions that you have for athletes or the athletic staff about this project that will help you understand what is needed to make this project a success?

Next, identify potential solutions (Step 3 of the engineering design process). For this effort, you’ve been asked to focus on what sensor technologies could be used and the technical details related to the data they generate.

6) What is one electronic sensor that you think could be used to generate the digital data needed to solve your athletic monitoring need?

• Provide the name of the sensors, the specific web link to its details, and explain why you think this sensor and its data could support your specific need.

o To learn more about available types of sensors, check out SparkFun: https://www.sparkfun.com/categories/23

o This is not an exhaustive list though, so you may have to do further internet searches to learn more about available sensors

• Review the datasheets available for the sensor that you have selected to check if it has an internal analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

o Upload a screenshot of the sensor datasheet and annotate (e.g. circle or highlight) the information about the ADC bits.

o If not ADC details are listed, upload a screenshot of the sensor datasheet that provides the description of how data is output by this sensor and annotate the parts you think are most important (e.g. circle or highlight).

• Using the number of bits associated with your sensor and its ADC (or assuming a 16-bit ADC if your sensor did not have listed details), how much data would this sensor generate when used by all members of the football team for a complete season (practices and games) at a sampling rate of 100 Hz (100 samples per second).

o Upload your clear set of hand-calculations for your answer o Be sure to clearly write your assumptions related to the number of

players and total time for a football season. • What type of equipment could this sensor be integrated into for the wearable

monitoring and what body location would it monitor? o Explain why you think this location of the body is appropriate for your

solution.

ECE 121-001 M3 – Engineering Design Process

Revision: 2 Revision Date: 15-Feb-2025

Considering the harms and ethical problems of this situation: Beyond the technical solutions it is important to consider the potential harms and ethical problems associated with this project. And after identifying them, working to create solutions that address them during the engineering design process.

7) What do you think the ethical problems related to monitoring of college athletes are?

• When providing your answer, consider that your audience who will read this has little to no background on this topic. Provide clear explanations with supporting details from the course so they understand you.

• What information from previous articles that you have read in the course helped you make these decisions? Be specific about the details and which article you are referring to (e.g. author and title).

8) What IEEE code of ethic do you think is most relevant to this situation? 9) If more than one IEEE code of ethic is relevant, what do you think is the second most relevant to this situation? 10) What additional information (if any) would be helpful to clarify what the ethical problems of this situation are? 11) Name and describe 2 examples of harm related to data use and data privacy in the context of the project.

• For each harm, note the type of harm it is (using the definitions of harm that are in the course notes and have been discussed in class).

• For each harm name the group of people that are impacted. Be clear, specific, and detailed in your answers.

12) What are 2 actions that you could take as a computer engineer on the project to reduce your previously identified harms?

• In addition to the people who will be impacted by reducing each harm, what other groups of people may be impacted by these actions and how?
