Research the Standards of Competency

Research the Standards of Competency

 

An important question regarding the boundaries of competence is the extent of training required to learn a new skill. For example, Miller and Rose (2009) have
concluded that research on training in motivational interviewing (MI) suggests that the day-to-day practice of providers typically does not substantially change after
this brief exposure to MI.
For this assignment, begin by selecting a new technique such as motivational interviewing, and then locate and review a minimum of five articles, which discuss the
length and intensity of training required to be effective and competent in your selected technique. In Annotated Bibliographic format, review, summarize, and evaluate
the selected articles and their conclusions. Review the results, and then provide, in your own words, a 2 to 3-paragraph summary, including your recommendations. Be
sure to cite the basis for your conclusions.
Length: Annotated Bibliography for the five articles and 2 to 3-paragraph summary, not including title and reference pages
Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly
to this topic.

Assessment Task
Question 1 15 Marks
The University of Millennia called for tenders for supplies of green seed for its surrounds, with
a closing date of 1 June.
The following tenders were submitted:
• Greenland hand-delivered its tender on 29 May, which went into the tender box.
• Enviro posted its tender on 15 May. This letter was received by the University on 17 May,
but, by being submitted so early, one of the administrative assistants filed it with the
intention of later putting it in the box when she was properly organised.
• Plant Forever posted its tender on 30 May. This letter arrived on 2 June but nevertheless
was put into the tender box.
It transpired that only two of the tenders were considered by the relevant administrative
officials of the University. Although the tender by Enviro was the lowest and contained the
most attractive features, the administrative assistant forgot where she had filed it and did not
find it again until a week after the decision was made.
Greenland’s tender was the next lowest, but because of rumours about its unreliability, the
University awarded the contract to Plant Forever. The University posted a letter to Plant
Forever advising that its tender was successful. Unfortunately, this letter never reached Plant
Forever because it was destroyed by a disgruntled postal worker who had just been made
redundant. Since it had not heard from the University, Plant Forever instead committed its
full stock of seed to another contract with a regional council.
The University became aware of the full situation concerning the tender by Enviro and the
position in which Plant Forever now finds itself. It seeks advice concerning its contractual
position in relation to all three tenders.

Essay question:
Compare and contrast an aspect of employment relations in any two Southeast Asian countries. What are the causes of the differences between the two?

You may choose any aspect of employment relations for this essay. Two suitable aspects of employment relations would be the state and trade unions.
The Journal of Industrial Relations devoted a whole edition in 2016 (vol. 58, no. 2) to employment relations and the state in Southeast Asia, with articles on
Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Cambodia and Myanmar. Two of those articles would provide a solid basis for your research for this essay. You
would also need to find additional materials to supplement those JIR articles.
Benson and Zhu (2008) has chapters on unions in Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Any two of those chapters would provide a good foundation for an essay on unions –
again, those two chapters would need to be supplemented with additional materials of your own.
