Annotated Bibliography Proposal

The annotated bibliography for this study will analyze whether or not romantic work relationships affect an organization’s communicative environment. To learn more about this topic, representatives from various companies and position levels will be asked to describe their personal experiences and/or knowledge of amorous work relationships. Coupled with past ideologies about this topic, the results from this research will redefine or reaffirm the definition of professionalism and reveal how workplace values, rituals, and norms have changed or remained.

I have seen the effects of such relationships and how they affected communication and other relationships within my former place of employment. However, my experience is just one account of this subject. Hence, I do not seek to focus on the romantic relationships themselves; rather, I’ll investigate how other employees and the couples react to each other. This research should also reveal how the interaction between amorous couples and their colleagues affect the organization itself.

Just saw your post. What a coincidence that both of us would choose the same topic and post within minutes of each other, lol. If you like, I can change my topic to something else I'm interested in. We'll talk more in class.
