4-11. For this activity, you will need the documents titled (1) “HRCI PHR® and SPHR®

Certification Body of Knowledge, and (2)

“About the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Body of Competency

& Knowledge® Model and Certification Exams.” Your instructor can obtain these two documents from the Pearson Instructor Resource Center and pass them on to you.

These two documents list the knowledge someone studying for the HRCI or SHRM certification exam needs to have in each area of human resource management (such as in Strategic Management, and Workforce Planning). In groups of several students, do four things: (1) review the HRCI and/or SHRM documents; (2) identify the material in this chapter that relates to HRCI’s or SHRM’s required knowledge lists; (3) write four multiple-choice exam questions on this material that you believe would be suitable for inclusion in the HRCI exam and/or the SHRM exam; and, (4) if time permits, have someone from your team post your team’s questions in front of the class, so that students in all teams can answer the exam questions created by the other teams.
