The College of Business Administration is selecting a new administrative assistant. The Chair is overlooking a more highly qualified candidate in favor of a candidate who personally met with the Chair. The Chair seems quite "taken" with the lesser-qualified candidate and other department members are worried about his criteria for making the selection.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
- Define "beautyism" and its potential discriminatory effects on hiring in the workplace.
- Assess the Chair's behavior from a human resource management perspective.
- Recommend the action that the hiring committee should take to handle the hiring decision.
- Discuss to what degree and why attractive candidates may be given unfair consideration during hiring processes.
- Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
- Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format.
- Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
