The Thematic Literature Review is due in week 4. This assignment must be a minimum of 8 pages (not including the title page, abstract, and references) and adhere to current 7th Edition APA standards. A minimum of 10 scholarly references must be incorporated in the assignment. The Thematic Literature Review consists of three components: (1) Introduction, (2) Body, and (3) Conclusions/Recommendations.
- Introduction/Background: Gives a quick idea of the topic of the literature review, such as the central theme or organizational pattern.
- Body: Contains your discussion of sources and is organized thematically.
- Conclusions/Recommendations: Discuss what you have drawn from reviewing literature so far. Where might the discussion proceed? (Literature Reviews, 2020, para. 13)
A literature review is usually organized around ideas, not the sources themselves, as an annotated bibliography would be. This means that you will not just simply list your sources and go into detail about each one of them, one at a time. As you read widely but selectively in your topic area, consider instead what themes or issues connect your sources together. Do they present a single or multiple solutions? Is there an aspect of the field that is missing? How well do they present the material and do they portray it according to an appropriate theory? Do they reveal a trend in the field? A raging debate? (Literature Reviews, 2020, para. 11) (CLO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
Your topic of employee engagement practices and turnover is approved. Do not use UPS as an example; rather, the literature on this topic should inform the reader. I also recommend selecting only one of the following and not all three: frontline leadership, training/cross-training, and employee engagement practices. I also recommend using only turnover or performance. Please be sure to include in-text citations and sources for all claims/information.
My Thematic Literature Review topic will focus on how frontline leadership, training/cross-training, and employee engagement practices influence turnover and performance in high-volume parcel operations, using UPS as an example. In these fast-paced settings, employees work under tight deadlines, physical demands, and constant pressure; conditions that can lead to burnout, inconsistent performance, and high attrition if the workforce is not effectively supported. The review will present research on themes such as supervisor behaviors and communication, structured onboarding and continuous training, recognition and motivation, and how job demands and resources shape engagement, safety, and retention in warehouse and logistics operations.
This topic directly relates to human resources because HR systems and decisions largely shape the drivers of turnover and performance in frontline operations. HR influences staffing stability through selection and onboarding, reduces errors and injuries through training design and safety culture, and strengthens retention through supervisor development, performance management, scheduling practices, and engagement programs.
