Copyright form
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Ethical Guidelines for the author
• Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
• Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
• Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
• Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors’ own
• All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment or materials, and other support (such as specialist statistical or writing assistance) should be disclosed.
• Authors should disclose the role of the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) in the research design, execution, analysis, interpretation and reporting
• The research literature serves as a record not only of what has been discovered but also of who made the discovery. The authorship of research publications should therefore accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
• In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section, the criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed at the start of the project.
• Researchers should ensure that only those individuals who meet authorship criteria (i.e. made a substantial contribution to the work) are rewarded with authorship and that deserving authors are not omitted. Institutions and journal editors should encourage practices that prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship.
• All authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. responding to reviewers’ comments).
• Authors should work with the editor or publisher to correct their work promptly if errors or omissions are discovered after publication.
• Authors should abide by relevant conventions, requirements, and regulations to make materials, reagents, software or datasets available to other researchers who request them. Researchers, institutions, and funders should have clear policies for handling such requests. Authors must also follow relevant journal standards. While proper acknowledgement is expected, researchers should not demand authorship as a condition for sharing materials.
• Authors should follow publishers’ requirements that work is not submitted to more than one publication for consideration at the same time.
• Authors should inform the editor if they withdraw their work from review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments after receiving a conditional acceptance.
• Authors should respond to reviewers’ comments in a professional and timely manner.
• Appropriate approval, licensing or registration should be obtained before the research begins and details should be provided in the report (e.g. Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Committee approval, national licensing authorities for the use of animals).
• If requested by editors, authors should supply evidence that reported research received the appropriate approval and was carried out ethically (e.g. copies of approvals, licences, participant consent forms).
• Researchers should not generally publish or share identifiable individual data collected in the course of research without specific consent from the individual (or their representative). Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely available on the internet, and should therefore be mindful of the risk of causing danger or upset to unintended readers (e.g. research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images or pedigrees).
• The appropriate statistical analyses should be determined at the start of the study and a data analysis plan for the prespecified outcomes should be prepared and followed.
• Researchers should publish all meaningful research results that might contribute to understanding. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish the findings of all clinical trials. The publication of unsuccessful studies or experiments that reject a hypothesis may help prevent others from wasting time and resources on similar projects. If findings from small studies and those that fail to reach statistically significant results can be combined to produce more useful information (e.g. by meta-analysis) then such findings should be published.
• Authors should supply research protocols to journal editors if requested (e.g. for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the research report to the protocol to check that it was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been omitted. Researchers should follow relevant requirements for clinical trial registration and should include the trial registration number in all publications arising from the trial.

Pages: 78-83 Anjana Bhattacharjee (Department of Psychology, Tripura University, Tripura) The present study was designed to compare male and female school students on the basis of their self esteem and level of aggression. The study also attempted to find out the difference among tribal and non-tribal school students in regard to their self esteem and aggression. Therefore, the study was carried out at Agartala, the capital of Tripura, a small state in the North Eastern part of India where people of different religion, caste, and community live together. Overall 200 school students (100 male and 100 female students) from both tribal and non tribal community were selected purposively and data were collected from them using Basic Information Schedule, Self Esteem Inventory and Aggression Scale. The findings revealed significant difference among male and female school students in regard to both the mental health variables, indicating that male school students possessed high self-esteem as well as high aggression in comparison to their female counterparts. Again tribal school students possessed low self-esteem but high aggression than their non-tribal counterparts. The paper suggests that for mainstreaming the culturally and socially isolated tribal population proper counseling services should be provided to them particularly to the female tribal school students to enhance their self esteem which will in turn help them to achieve academic success as well as to adjust more adequately with the outer world.

Pages: 75-77 Sudha Katyal (Department of Human Development and Family Relations, Govt. Home Science College, Sector-10, Chandigarh) The present investigation was conducted to get an insight into gender difference in burnout of employees working in non-nationalized banks. The study was carried out in Chandigarh and its satellite towns, Panchkula and S.A.S. Nagar, Mohali, on a sample of 100 male and 100 female employees having minimum of 1year of job experience from 5 non-nationalized banks (20 from each bank). Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS), developed by Maslach and Jackson (1996) was used to measure burnout. The findings revealed that employees working in non-nationalized banks had moderate followed by high level of burnout. It was also found that female employees as compared to their male counterparts had higher emotional exhaustion and total burnout, whereas male employees as compared to female employees had higher level of depersonalization and personal accomplishment.

Pages: 71-74 Kavita Suri (Department of Lifelong Learning, University of Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir) Jammu and Kashmir, the northernmost border state of India has reached approximately 1.25 Crore population (Census, 2011) which is an increase of 23.71 percent from the past decade. The sharp increase in population growth and decline in mortality rate has increased pressure on the educational system by way of increasing the demand for access to education. The state which has a literacy rate of 68.74 % has been grappling with many problems including poverty, lack of resources for maintaining the huge educational infrastructure and the continued violence which has hit the education sector badly since past 20 years. Special and inclusive education is in practice in J&K as it is in the other states of the country. But the State Government has not been able to do much for special children in the state. The present paper would try to focus on the Status, Challenges, Responses and Prospectus with regard to Jammu and Kashmir. It would also explore issues like bias against children with special needs, insufficiency of funding, no access to expertise and public services and the parental biases towards children at special needs.

Pages: 66-70 Anubhuti Dubey and Arpita Srivastava (Department of Psychology, D.D.U Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur) This study examines parental factors and achievement motivation and its relation to performance of adolescents. The sample comprised of sixty students of class 11th. The research is based on their expected and achieved scores of class-10. To assess achievement motivation and parental factors the questionnaires are used. Data was analyzed using two way analysis of variance and multiple regression statistical analysis. Results indicated that High performance group of students have more achievement motivation in comparison to Low performance group of students. The scores on parental factors are also high in High performance group. Amongst the four parental factors, Parental approval emerged as the most significant predictor of achievement motivation and performance followed by resources made available by parents, parental encouragement, and parental pressure. The high performance group girls are more future oriented with high level of aspiration as their expected and achieved scores are less discrepant, however, the same is not true for low performance both boys and girls. They expected more and achieved less than their expectation. These findings imply that in the order to improve children's education, parental approval warrants the future orientation. Pages: 66-70

Pages: 57-61 Paulinus Okey Uju-Echemnu and Michelline Zonia Manalastas (Graduate School, University of Santo Tomas) Drawing upon the Job Characteristics Model (Hackman & Oldham, 1975) and the fact that employees can be motivated without necessarily spending money, the study focused on proposing a program for an enhanced intrinsic motivation in the workplace by highlighting, articulating and assessing the job characteristics and job satisfaction of the 228 respondents in the four Catholic institutions within Metro Manila. Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS, 1976) and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaires (MSQ, 1977) were used to measure the Job Characteristics and Job Satisfaction of the respondents, respectively. The respondents were only those on regular employment and non-academic. Results indicated that although there is some remarkable difference in the job characteristics and job satisfaction of the respondents (the two measurable variables) yet there is a 2-tailed correlation between them. A program for the enhancement of an intrinsic motivation was proposed from the analyzed results. Pages: 57-61

Pages: 51-56 U. Vijayabanu and S. Karunanidhi (Department of Psychology, University of Madras, Chennai) Today, teams and organizations face rapid change ever before. Globalization has increased the markets and opportunities for more growth and revenue. However, increasingly diverse markets have a wide variety of needs and expectations that must be understood if they are to become strong customers and collaborators. Most organizations don't know how to prepare their employees to handle these changes effectively and thereby increase the organization effectiveness. The role of leaders plays an important role in bringing change initiatives in the organizations. The present paper aimed at explaining the importance of leadership effectiveness in bringing organizational change by exploring various theories and research studies. Pages: 51-56

Pages: 48-50 B. Prasad Babu (Indira Gandhi National Open University, Regional Centre, Vijayawada, A.P.) Sudha Rani Vaitla (Counselling Psychologist, Visakhapatnam, A.P.) The present study was conducted to assess the relationship between emotional intelligence and economic status of school teachers in Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh, India. The emotional intelligence controls the emotions and maintains the cordial relationships with the social setup in the school environment, whereas the economic status is the monthly income of the school teachers in both the government and private schools. The data were collected from 100 school teachers working in elementary and secondary schools located in Visakhapatnam district and they were administered Emotional Intelligence Scale developed by Prasad, S. (2009). The collected data were analysed with mean, standard deviation, critical ratio, analyses of variance tests and coefficient of correlation. The results indicate that all the teachers possessed high level of emotional intelligence and also there is no significant differences found in the areas of gender, type of school, category of school and social status. It is observed that there is a positive relationship between economic status and emotional intelligence of teachers. Pages: 48-50

Pages: 43-47 Tilottama Mukherjee, Aditi Patra and Shubhangi Goswami (Department of Psychology, University of Calcutta, Kolkata) The advent of technology has brought about marked changes in the traditional structure of teams; face- to- face teams are supplemented with another kind of team, which is now known as virtual team. Humans have been collaborating across geographical boundaries for thousands of years, a phenomenon that is bringing the world closer, making work easier yet which is both problematic and complicated. Global organizations see benefits of collaboration across distance as a mean of providing focused attention to complex problems without physically relocating individuals. The objective of this study is to compare the face- to- face teams and virtual teams on the basis of motivation and team effectiveness. The relationship between motivation and team effectiveness, in these two types of set up has also been studied. The total sample size is 100, equally distributed in two types of teams face to face (n=50) and virtual teams (n=50) respectively. Motivational Analysis of Organization Behaviour (2002) and Team Effectiveness Scale (1997) developed by Udai Pareek were administered on the employees belonging to two different types of teams from various IT sector companies in Kolkata. Results revealed a significant difference between face to face and virtual teams on all the dimensions of motivation, except for achievement motivation. Achievement motivation seems to be not affected by the difference in space and time. The location of members and their interaction with each other produce motivation of dependence, control, efferent, affiliation and influence on the team members. A significant relationship between affiliation motivation and team effectiveness in face to face teams was found. Pages: 43-47

Pages: 29-34 Meenu (National University of Educational Planning and Administration, Delhi) Organizational learning is inherent in every organization and for sustainance of an organization in this competitive world, it is necessary to adapt new learning patterns to keep pace with today's chaninging era. If organizations are to gain a compeitive advantage in a changing world they need to have the ability to adapt constanly to new circumstances and challenges.Therefore the premise of this research paper is that organizational learning is a competence that all organization should develop. The reasoning underlying this premise is that the better organizations are at learning the more likely it is they will be able to compete and sustain in this changing & challenging world. The purpose of this study is to undersand the organizational learning component of two different types of educational institute viz; Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) & National Council of Educational Research & Teaching (NCERT). JNU as university which concerns with teaching & learning of higher education and NCERT concerns to school education , which is research organization that is devoted to research & training, publication of books for school education. For this study Organizational learning diagnostic questionnaire was used. Results reveal that JNU has highest organizational learning compare to NCERT and represent an organization holding the core characteristics of a learning organization. The analysis of the organizational learning diagnostic exhibited that to become a more effective & efficient educational organization, both the organization should raise the learning organization profile level of all the system & subsystems. In this regard the institution must initiate an organizational transformation process for learning excellence. This transformation must include developing a shared vision and an organizational learning culture, creation of a powerful strategy for building a learning organization and a structure capable of implementing that strategy, and finally developing a transformational leadership style at the decision making instances to achieve high levels of ethics, motivation, and performance.

Pages: 23-28 Muhammad Uzair Khanj and Kanwal Nazim (Marine Reference Collection and Resource Centre, University of Karachi, Pakistan) Moinuddin Ahmed and Syed Shahid Shaukat (Laboratory of Dendrochronology and Plant Ecology Department of Botany and Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Pakistan) One of the recent trends in waste management is to recycle the industrial waste for useable products. For this purpose fiber, chemical and marble industrial wastes were used to investigate the potential of these wastes for conventional block making. The effects of industrial wastes in concrete blocks were pragmatic. The concentrations of heavy metals Co, Mn, Fe, Zn and Pb in both sludge-ashes and marble waste powder have been analyzed. The physical properties of blocks including weight, density, specific gravity, compressive strengths and percentage of water absorption were examined. As a second part of experiment leachate was obtained after soaking the blocks in distilled water for 24 hours. The physical parameters of water (leachate) such as color, pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, salinity and dissolved oxygen were determined by Sension 105 multiparameter while above mentioned heavy metals were analyzed by Atomic absorption spectrophotometer (model PG 990) to check the possible water contamination by heavy metals during the rainy season due to any seepage. Significantly higher compressive strengths 14.48 ± 0.7 N/mm2, 13.5 ± 0.4 N/mm2 and 12.53 ± 0.16 N/mm2 were recorded in M8a, F2a and M7a respectively. Fiber industry sludge-ash and marble waste powder have potential in terms of cohesive properties in the preparation of blocks. These light weight blocks were found more durable; absorb lesser amount of water and more cheaper/economic as compared to standard commercial construction blocks available in the market. It is concluded that these blocks are not only stronger than available commercial blocks but environmentally safe to be used in roads, buildings construction, boundary walls, filling material etc. Pages: 23-28
