The following are all old pieces of coursework from my MSc in Occupational Psychology, undertaken at the Institute of Work Psychology at the University of Sheffield, and have been left here as a resource, due to positive feedback, rather than as examples of my best work!
Note that the essays in this section have often been written as reports for real or hypothetical companies. However, the work has not been submitted to these organisations, and they do not endorse any content or recommendations within the work. The thesis abstract did form part of my work with a genuine organisation. Further information on the context of the study, and full text of the thesis can be obtained by e-mailing me at katie @ this website.
NB. Plagiarism of this material is discouraged, due as much to lack of guarantee of content quality as anything. However, feel free to rifle for ideas and references.
