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.

Sibi and Jesus Jay Miranda (Department of Education, Graduate School, University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines) Education in the 21st century is rapidly progressing into new frontiers Leadership of the education sector requires 21st century skills and mind-sets. Building and preparing principals to embrace and implement these new leadership skills is a critical challenge confronting the education sector today. Despite deliberating on 21st century leadership skills for almost twenty years, and still, principals might try to operate by the book, manage their leadership to keep the status quo by implementing some best practices instead of leading with confidence and real expertise that the 21st century looks for. Given the nature of the challenges facing the 21st century leadership in higher education in India, the constraints and the lacuna that is experienced by it, need to be unearthed, reflected and made sense that educational leadership may galvanize itself to keep momentum with the current developments. India has a multi-layered consultation process involving many stakeholders in the education sector to discuss and implement measures to improve the quality of education, known as the National Education Policy. (NEP). One area that the NEP addresses but has not yet fully addressed is the role of school leaders in the redesigned education system. This paper attempts to look at the Principal's leadership in the higher education scenario through four main themes; Leadership: Challenging Factors; Skills and competency factors; Practice factors and context factors. It also addresses these factors, which underpin the need for school leaders to guide the 21st century. It also proposes a framework for 21st century leadership skills and practices for school leaders. Page: 52-57

This bloodshed competition to achieve greater success and brighter future makes students more anxious, nervous worried, and sometimes extremely stressed and depressed too. Students with high levels of anxiety show passive attitude towards studies, lack of concentration and confidence, reduced memory span and poor reasoning abilities. The present study is planned to assess and the levels and found the difference in perception of academic anxiety among 240 high and 240 low achievers of class 11th and class 12th . To fulfill the purpose of the study, six private schools from two Zones of Ludhiana city were selected. Academic Anxiety Scale developed by Siddique and Rehman (2017) was used to assess the academic anxiety of selected high and low achievers. Page: 58-62

Franco and Madhavi Menon (Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, College of Psychology, Nova Southeastern University College Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL) Academic preferences and ensuing scholastic achievement trace their origins to early childhood, particularly school experiences. Extant gender beliefs and stereotypes can potentially influence children's school experiences and eventual academic preferences and decisions. The current literature review explores student academic perceptions and attitudes, academic performance and preference, and developmental changes over the school years, with a particular emphasis on the role of gender based academic stereotypes and gendered representations in academic domains.

The objective was to explore gender differences and the subjective experience of POS. The participants were from the private sector with a minimum of 5 years of work experience at their current organisation falling in the age bracket of 25-38 years. The research adopted a mixed-method design and used the purposive sampling technique. The tool employed for quantitative data collection was the 8-item Survey of Perceived Organizational Support Scale (SPOS, Eisenberger et al., 1986) on the sample size of 60 participants (30 Males & 30 Females). Further, in-depth interviews were conducted on 5 males and 5 females who scored high on POS. Data was analyzed to determine significant differences, if any, between the means of two groups on POS. The interviews were subjected to reflexive thematic analysis. Results indicate that both genders experienced a moderately high amount of POS with males experiencing it marginally more. However, there were no significant gender differences obtained on the POS experienced during COVID-19 pandemic. The themes that emerged contributing to high POS in both groups were well-being, recognition of inputs, job security, financial support, and job interest. The themes clearly suggest that organizations can focus on these areas to support their employees during any stressful conditions. The implication of the present study is that this could impact the long term performances and well-being of the employees. Page: 67-73

A teenager is torn by conflicting feelings. It is connected with a period of increased risk-taking behaviors as well as increased emotional reactivity. This is normally coincident with changes in the social and school environment, such as spending less time with parents and more with peers, as well as an increase in independence. These behavioral changes occur in the context of developmental changes that are influenced by both external environmental and internal factors that elicit and support behaviors (Jaworska & Macqueen, 2015). Emotional intelligence includes the ability to engage in sophisticated information processing about one's own and others' emotions and the ability to use this information as a guide to think and behave. That is an individual high in emotional intelligence pay attention to use, understand and manage emotions and these skills serve adaptive functions that potentially benefits themselves and others (Salovey et al., 2008). The study was conducted in Jind and Bhiwani districts of Haryana state. From which 240 adolescents from the age group of 14-16 years were selected randomly. In the study equal number of boys and girls were selected. For assessing Socio-personal variables, self-prepared interview schedule was used and for assessing emotional intelligence, Emotional intelligence scale by Hyde et al. (2002) was used. The collected data was systematically classified and tabulated as per the objectives of the study. To study data frequency, percentages, mean, standard deviation and independent sample 'z' test was used. Results showed that adolescents of Jind district were more committed, self-awarded, and emphatic, better at managing relations and are more emotionally stable than adolescents of Bhiwani district.

Tungol (The Graduate School, University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines) Burnout is a global concern and a psychological syndrome garnering the attention of researchers. It is characterized by emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy and it impacted the physical and mental well-being of the person. The current study aims to explore qualitatively and analyse thematically the burnout experience of baccalaureate college students of South India, to identify, describe and interpret its causes, consequences, and impacts on their well-being. The experiences and perspectives of students gathered through in-depth semi-structured interviews with eighteen participants and focus group discussions with ten college students were analysed utilizing Braun and Clark's step-by-step method. The findings of the qualitative study showed that the college students encountered cognitive issues (impaired cognitions, delimiting cognitions), emotional issues (unsettling emotions, bridling emotions, impoverishing emotions), and behavioural issues (paralyzing behaviours, disinvesting behaviours, devitalizing behaviour). The findings also indicated that burnout impacted the academic (engagement, results), psychological (anxiety, depression), physical (fatigue, disturbance of sleep) and social performance (dependence, conflicts), and well-being of students.

This study explores qualitatively and thematically recognizes the causes and consequences of depression among adolescent students in Kerala, South India. Braun and Clarke's step-by-step method is used to study the participants' experiences and viewpoints thematically. To gain a more profound knowledge of the lived experiences, in-depth semi-structured interviews (ten participants) and focus group discussions (eight participants) were conducted. The results of this qualitative study demonstrate that adolescents have cognitive issues (distorted belief, disturbing thought), emotional issues (uneasy feelings, emotional tension, depressed mood), and behavioral issues (Inappropriate social behavior, worthlessness in life, a lack of enthusiasm), physical issues (health-related problems, academic and clinical issues, financial & familial issues). The researchers discovered that adolescent's depressive experiences are linked to psychological distress. Page: 196-200

Educational institutions are established for the future of students. Student's academic performance can only illuminate in future with higher education and other vocational courses. Home Science emerged as an internship in science, with which students have the opportunity to demonstrate skills in many vocational and career choices. In the current study, an attempt was made to analyze enrollment, retention and progression of Home Science graduates in northern SAUs of India. Survey questionnaires were developed to collect the primary and secondary data so as to elicit structured responses in a quantifiable term. Sample of the study consisted of the Home Science graduates who had completed their B.Sc. during the period 2012-13 to-2016-17 from seven selected SAUs from the northern states of India. The list of the students along with their contact numbers and e-mail ID's was collected from respective SAU's. Data indicated that during five years span, out of admission of 1219 students, 79.08 per cent students passed out while 20.91 per cent dropped before completing their degrees. Students admitted through ICAR-AIEEA (PG) were 2.62 per cent which was very less as compared to 25 per cent seats reserved for ICAR students. Overall, more than one third (38.34%) of the students opted for M.Sc and 18.94 per cent for PhD after completing bachelors in Home Science. In case of employment status it was found that at the time of data collection, more than half (57.29%) of the Home Science graduates were pursuing higher education in various institutions and about 30 per cent were engaged in various professional works in Public as well as private sectors while remaining 13.66 per cent Home Science students were unemployed.

In every organization employees are a vital resource and thus training has turn out to be a necessitate by all sectors of organizations. Training is key to sustainability in organizations and training programs helps in to create efficient employees for the work and for this from small to large scale organizations should try to introduce the training programs. To know the status of the training and to suggest the importance of training, the professionals and researchers should know the status of the training and its effectiveness. As in different studies in relation to training in organizations are very negligible, the present study intended to explore the training methods of on-the-job in the organizations are adopting. In the present study, data were collected from 100 working employees (n1=66 men, n2= 34 women) from the Public, private and MNC organizations in Delhi by using purposive random sampling. It is observed that there is difference in on-the-job training method adopted by the public, private and MNC. Public sector is ahead from the private and MNC organizations in giving On-the-job training and enhancing the employee capabilities. Page: 206-212

Page: 213-218 Umesh L. Bharte and Riya D. Shah (Department of Applied Psychology, Mumbai University, Mumbai, Maharashtra) Theory of reasoned action and planned behaviour have been applied and validated in a number of studies related to online shopping. While there exists enormous literature on the topic of online shopping, the phenomenon of online grocery shopping remains a relatively less researched area at least in the Indian context. This study aims to evaluate the predictive relationship of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and willingness to buy grocery online. A convenient sample (n = 150) was used in Mumbai region, and it was restricted to the participants who had engaged in online shopping prior to the study. The self-designed scales were used for all the measures included in the study. The results of multiple regression analysis show that attitudes and subjective norms are found to be significant predictors of buying intention but not the perceived behavioural control. Further, no gender differences were found with respect to willingness to buy grocery online. Discussion of theoretical and practical implications of the study is followed by future lines of enquiry.

Page: 219-226 Monika Rikhi and Sanjana Mehta (Department of Applied Psychology, Sri Aurobindo College (Eve), University of Delhi, Delhi) Exploratory research was conducted on a sample of 165 young professionals working in the private sector of age 20-30 with 3 -5 years of experience. Due to a diversity of lifestyles, the changing character of the workforce, and the current COVID-19 pandemic situation and the fundamental competitive demands of productivity, we are under increasing pressure to be more flexible with our work schedules. Work flexibility is becoming the new normal for most creative and intellectual employees. Employees with a flexible daily schedule have more variability in terms of work and other informal and formal activities in their life spaces. Several studies claim that there is a correlation between shift schedules and physical and mental health problems, which is often the result of persistent misalignment between the endogenous circadian synchronization system and behavioral cycles such as sleep / wake and fast / feeding. Obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus, mood disorders, depression, cancer, and cognitive decline are likely the result of this disruption of the normal circadian cycle. They have little or no time to socialize while they work all night and catch up on sleep throughout the day. Not spending time with loved ones and engaging in human relationships, according to research, may have a huge impact on their health. In the long term, this subtle isolation might have a negative impact on their mental health. Page: 219-226
