Secondary referencing

Buchanan and Huczynski (2010, p.280) refer to

Herzberg (1968) who argued that improving hygiene

factors such as working conditions can remove

dissatisfaction in the workplace but is unlikely to

increase motivation.

You can refer to the original source but only

reference the book you have read


Behaviour depends on a variety of influencing factors,

including values and beliefs and what each individual sees as

motivating factors, so attitudes are not always reflected in

behaviour. For instance, if a person has a positive emotional

reaction to a management innovation, we could say that

person may feel greater commitment to the job or organisation.

If, however, that person is influenced by co-workers who are

not like-minded, and the person values their relationship with

those co-workers, then the positive attitude may not be

reflected in subsequent behaviour.(Foot and Hook, 2011, p.89).

management. 6th edn. Harlow: Financial Times Prentice Hall.

Longer sections from sources


Moving around the order of the words in the

sentence or exchanging a few words with

alternative words is NOT paraphrasing.

The aim is to re-write the text in your own

words usually to make it shorter but to still

retain the sense of the original.

Paraphrasing


Foot and Hook (2011, p.89)

point out that in the

workplace people’s attitudes

do not always match their

behaviour. They suggest that

an employee with a positive

reaction to change may be

influenced by the less

positive attitudes of others

with whom they work and

are friends with, and that

their behaviour may reflect

this.

Paraphrased

Example A Example B

Foot and Hook (2011, p.89)

point out that behaviour at

work is dependent on a

variety of influencing factors.

A person’s attitudes are not

always reflected in their

behaviour. If a person is

influenced by co-workers

who are not like-minded then

their former positive attitude

may not be reflected in their

subsequent behaviour.


• Is there such a thing as too many sources?

• Can I add more than one source to make the

same point?A number of authors (Mullins, 2011; Huczynski and

Buchanan, 2013)…….

• If I use something other than a book or a

journal or a website, how do I know how to

reference it?
