I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Job Satisfaction and Competence. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Five articles related to human resource management and collected from local, regional and international media outlets, have been clearly analyzed. These articles are carefully selected to incorporate topics that are of great importance to human resource management. In addition, these articles try to demonstrate how these issues relate to human resources and how they influence the functions in the department. There is also an attempt to provide solutions and recommendations on how these issues can be implemented.

An article “Workforce: Successful Employees Require a Solid Start” is about a company called Michelin North America, where the author explains how the company brings employees onboard and how it introduces them to the operations of the workplace. She explains that early interventions such as onboarding are important if an organization wants to keep employees for a long time. The author also explains that the employees should be trained on the job from the first day at work until they achieve efficiency (Jusko, 2013). In addition, the author demonstrates the importance of effective communication within the organization, and immediate feedback as core to maintaining good relations with the employees.

Analysis

Job satisfaction and competence are one of the most critical issues in the success of a business. The employees have to acquire enough training in order to carry out their functions effectively. The author asserts that employees should start training from the first day they join the workforce. The first impression gives the employees ainsight on whether to sign long term contracts with the employer or not. Therefore, a human resource manager should be able to provide immediate information to the employee on career development right from the onboard. This information motivates the employee to learn and develop an interest in the organization (Jusko, 2013). Communication is also an important factor in an organization.
