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.

Krishnakumare (College of Agribusiness Management GBPUAT, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand ) The study conducted during 2016-17, investigated the factors influencing stress among the higher secondary students of a private school in Udumalpet Taluk (Tirupur District) of Tamil Nadu. Simple random technique was used to select a sample of 60 respondents. Descriptive statistics was employed to calculate Weighted Average Scores (WAS), which were ranked to find out the level of influence of various factors causing stress among the students. Besides, looking into the relationship with other people fight with family and friends (WAS=3.10) was the most influencing stress factor among students, followed by family problems (WAS=2.57) and frustration due to misunderstandings (WAS=2.37). Whereas, work pressure (WAS=3.15), change in sleeping habits (WAS=2.57) and financial difficulties (WAS=2.57) were the highly influencing personal factors. The academic factors include, increased class workload (WAS=3.33) and lack of university support (WAS=2.57). In addition, lack of vacations / break (WAS=3.17) and divorce between parents (WAS=3.03) remained a serious cause of stress among the environmental factors. The study concluded that, among the factors influencing stress, increased class work load (WAS=3.33) and lack of vacation or break (WAS=3.32) were the major cause for stress among the students. On the other hand, change in eating habits (WAS=1.90), missing lectures (WAS=1.90), lower grades (WAS=2.00) and new responsibilities (WAS=2.00) have not influenced the most. So, curriculum might be framed in such a way that, it does not feel burdensome for the students with timely intervals and vacations, which might help in refreshing the students themselves from their work load.

Pages: 183-185 Harprit Kaur (Department of Psychology, Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab) Tilahun Gidey Gebremeskal (Department of Psychology, Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab and Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia ) Though the study of school bullying has been around the corner for some decades now due to its harmful consequences, in Ethiopia issues surrounding school bullying are not well explored. The present study sought to explore if experiencing victimization is related to perpetration of bullying. Data were drawn from 404 randomly selected primary school students from Bahir Dar city and Debark town, Ethiopia. One item answered yes and no was utilized to tap data on victimization experience .Perpetration of bullying was measured using participant role scale taken from Salmivalli, Lagerspetz, Bjorkqvist, Österman, & Kaukiainen, (1996). Independent sample t-test was used to analyse data. Results showed that there was statistically significant difference in bullying (t = 2.860, p= .005) between participants who experienced victimization and those who were not victimized. We concluded that 1) a significant portion of adolescents have experienced victimization and 2) experiencing victimization makes a difference in proclivity to perpetrate bullying with victims involving more in perpetrating bullying. We suggest that efforts to reduce bullying should make sure adolescents are not exposed to victimization experiences as it makes a difference among others. Pages: 183-185

The dignity of each human being is very important to be protected. The state has laws, and rights and directives for implementation to protect, and for the welfare of all, further for the vulnerable and abused. The implementation of these get limited by unwilling obedience, ignorance, poor administration or misconduct. The limited role of support system including counselling services should be enhanced to care and include such population, especially children. The policy is taking care of the reforms needed but there is a need to let the counsellors step in more so that preventions come in more than corrections. Pages: 179-182

Pages: 170-172 Indu (Department, of Psychology, Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, Haryana) Researches reveal that positive as well as negative association exists between media and mental health. We use media for education, entertainment and communication purpose. But when we use social media due to uncontrolled desire, stay online for long hours, we connect with other people through social media instead of social relation, we feel social, behavioural, emotional, intellectual discomfort but still we use social media, we call it internet addiction. And internet addiction is positively associated with depression. Cyber bulling, mean comments, cyber stalking, online teasing are the reasons behind this positive relationship of social media and depression. Mental illnesses are the common disease worldwide, in which depression is main. When an individual lost pleasure in daily routine activities, loss of appetite, loss of sleep, especially early in the morning a person wakes up, experience depressed mood, feeling hopeless, feeling worthlessness, feeling guilty himself/herself, poor concentration and thoughts of commit suicide are the symptoms of depression. In children symptoms are sadness, irritability, physical complaints (toothache, head ache, stomach ache) separation anxiety. There are many reasons leads to depression such as death of loved one, ending of a romantic relationship, job losing, poverty, obstacle in the path of goal and unfulfilled desires. Depression is the main cause of suicide in India as well as in the world. Suicide rates are high in younger generation. 7th April is World Health Day, we should serve our nation by helping the depressive people to overcome. Depression is not a stigma. Anybody can suffer from this mental disorder , don't feel shame to talk about your problems. Live this beautiful life with happiness, and find your happiness to help other, to erase someone's sadness with the slogan “ Let's Talk”. Pages: 170-172

Pages: 165-169 Ravinder Kumar (Department of Mechanical & Automation Engg., Amity University, Noida, Utter Pradesh) The purpose of this paper is to study the problems faced by Indian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) while forming coordination strategies for effective supply chain management. In modern time Indian SMEs are facing open global competition which give them ample opportunities and simultaneously lot of problems. To stay competitive in this scenario, Indian SMEs have to break isolation and improve coordination in supply chain. For collecting data from Indian SMEs of different sectors, a questionnaire-based survey was conducted. In total, 159 valid responses were received. Statistical analysis of data acquired from survey is done by one sample t-test and correlation analysis. Top five problems faced by Indian SMEs' of auto components sector are uncertainty of customer orders /demand, over dependence on bigger supply chain partner(s), insufficient knowledge of SCM, non-availability of right information at right time and lack of committed resources. Problems have significant negative correlation with coordination strategies of all sectors of SMEs. Major implication of finding of study are that if Indian SMEs of different sectors works strategically on problems of SCM implementation then supply chain (SC) coordination will improve. This study can be further explored by considering other aspects of strategy development such as new product development, human resource, global organizational culture; etc. Outcome of present study will be useful for SMEs of different sectors in identifying problems and framing their strategies for improving coordination in supply chain, and academia for further research in the context of changing market scenario.

Pages: 162-164 Ashwani Mohan (Amity Institute of Psychology and Allied Sciences, Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh) In today's scenario, it can be seen that Organizational Citizenship Behaviour of employees play very important role in growth story in any organization. Without Organizational Citizenship Behaviour of employee, no organization can grow and gets its ultimate vision. Organizational Citizenship Behaviour is considered as contribution of employee to their organization beyond the responsibilities. Various antecedents can be for Organizational Citizenship Behaviour. One of them is Organizational Justice, which contribute great role in Organizational Citizenship Behaviour of employees. Organizational Justice is considered as perception of employees towards their organization about fair treatment based on ethics and morality, they are getting from Organization. Trust between employees and management of organization is also one important factor which play important role in Organizational Citizenship Behaviour. Trust amongst employees of organization is outcome of perceived organizational Justice, which increases Organization Citizenship Behaviour of employees. This research paper is based on review of fifteen years study, which shows that Organizational Citizenship Behaviour of employee in any organization is not possible without right perception of Organizational Justice. It has also been seen in various studies that Trust mediate between Organizational Justice and Organization Citizenship Behaviour. Pages: 162-164

Pages: 153-161 Mitali Sengupta and Satyajit Chakrabarti (University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata, West Bengal) Indraneel Mukhopadhyay (Institute of Engineering & Management, Kolkata, West Bengal) Aspects of conflicts have been found to be pervasive in nature. The interactions of different professionals and teams lead to differences in opinion. In health care settings, these differences might be pronounced due to a variety of stressful environmental factors resulting in conflict. In most health care settings, though a few aspects of conflicts resulted in positive outcomes, most of these conflicts have negative consequences. The dismissal of all possible conflicting scenarios from health care settings will be imprudent for the managers and administrators. It is thus imperative for the different health care stakeholders to identify the key issues which are precursors of conflict. This paper reviews the different conflict types which are normally found in the health care settings, determine and pinpoint the possible conflict antecedents, associated costs and the possible mitigation strategies which could be readily used in healthcare settings. It especially focuses on the Indian scenario and attempts to cover all these aspects from the Indian viewpoint so as to design innovative, cost effective conflict management approach in healthcare settings.

Pages: 137-143 Siddharth Soni and Manisha Agarwal (Department of Psychology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh) Uncertainty and instability are the norms in today's work environment. This unpredictability and uncertainty causes an increased level of discomfort and stress for employees and managers as they try to accomplish their day to day objectives and achieve their professional goals. The present study examined the relationship between workplace stressors such as work overload, role ambiguity, lack of participation in decision making with affective, continuance and normative organizational commitment among women employees (clerk & manager) in private and public banking sector. A total number of 80 (n=40) private and (n=40) public sector women bank employees participated in the study. Participants responses were measured by QWI, role ambiguity scale, participation in decision making scale, POS scale and organizational commitment scale. The data was statistically analyzed through correlation and regression analysis. Research findings partially supported the hypothesized patterns of relationship between the variables in the study. The findings indicated the negative correlation between workplace stressors and the dimensions of organizational commitment, and positive correlation between perceived organizational support and organizational commitment of women bank employees.

Pages: 132-136 Ravneet Chawla and Manmeet Kaur (Department of Human Development, Government Home Science College, Punjab University, Chandigarh) Youth in Indian context exhibit and are more vocal to discuss prevalence of violence in marriage. It is important to know the marriage types, and causes, also seeking perceptions on individual, family and other factors of violence and compiling gender wise perceptions on violence and its correlates so as to sensitize youth on the need for preparedness for marriage (through pre marital counselling). A need based tool with questions out of ongoing researches was designed and got approved by scholars working in the area. The fact on violence prevalent in most cases with differences has a high corroboration. The sample included in the study was equal number of males and females between the age of 18 to 25 years (n=200; males - n=100, females - n=100). The findings reflected issues that lead to violence to be those such as ego blocks, in laws' interference parents of the both the spouses, misunderstandings on carelessness, possessiveness, differences in thoughts and viewpoints, dowry demands, trust issues, educational qualification, sexual dissatisfaction, stubborn and temperamental issues, uncompromising nature on small issues, irritable nature, substance indulgence, financial issues, restraining partner in social bonding, and so on. Majority admitted that all forms of violence are happening in society around us. Further, more girls agreed to need for premarital counselling; boys were not open about it. The study points out the sensitive issues that can be dealt with for a forthcoming matrimony among two individuals. These are typically youth around us as potential companions in marriage in the near future. Pages: 132-136
