This course has covered ethics, statesmanship, and governance. You know those topics very well inside and out now. In module seven the three streams of these topics will converge. Modules seven and eight examine the convergence of these three areas. In week seven, students will craft an essay paper elaborating upon the lessons learned from the course reader A Biblical-Covenantal Perspective on Organizational Behavior & Leadership.

Weekly Course Readings:

· Fischer: Lesson 9 & 10

· Shafritz & Hyde: ch. 36

Module/Week 7 Essay

· Construct a paradigm of public administration statesmanship.

· Evaluate challenges facing public administration organizations today.

· Synthesize a Biblical/covenantal model of statesmanship, leadership and organizational behavior with the above.

Specifics:

· 12-14 pages of content, double-spaced, plus title and reference pages

· Must include citations from all readings and presentations for the assigned module (including the Fischer presentations and readings) and at least 20 scholarly sources

· Do not write in passive voice

· Must include Biblical integration (the Fischer sources will help to that end)

· Current APA format

· Answers to questions must be supported with research and citations. It is not unusual, for instance, to have 3–4 citations per paragraph in doctoral-level research.

· Remember also that writing a research paper, especially at the doctoral-level, requires you to weave in ideas from numerous sources and then in turn synthesizing those ideas to create fresh insights and knowledge.
