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: 153-161 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 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 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: 127-131 We are living in 21st century. This is the era of Whatsapp, Facebook, twitter, etc. Usually people stay connected with one another through these domains. While using these applications to chat with one another people share their photos, videos etc. They share their views regarding quality and prices of many brands. These activities have a great impact on consumer purchasing decision making. At the same time, while people talk or share photos etc. There are many sites which advertise regarding producer's new arrivals and discounts offer on their products. To some extent it determines the consumer likings towards a brand/product and results in buying that product. The present study is designed to explore the dynamics behind this buying process. People become aware about the fashion trends. A sample of 150 university going students were recruited for the study and they were informed about the study and data was gathered from them. Considering the current scenario social media is affecting the life of people to a very significant level and convincing them to buy a particular product. This needs to be investigated with some empirical evidences. After conducting the research .It was found that social media has a great influence on buying behavior of students. Students share their experiences regarding the use of social media for their purchasing decisions.

Pages: 112-115 The interdependence of school and community culture played a critical role in shaping the youth's occupational choice. For adolescent, their vocational choice is one channel through which their life's goal and purpose might be fulfilled. The career choice that adolescents make is a decision that is influenced not only by their development but also by the context in which they live. School environment is a powerful force and plays pivotal role in the all-round development of the child as children spend many hours in schools. Especially in rural settings, children are not exposed to most of the vocations which are currently available. If children get proper guidance regarding various vocations from school teachers, parents as well as from any other person or family members, they can excel in those vocations as per their capability if they opt for it. This research primarily focused to find out the vocational exposure and vocational interest of rural children in selected states of India. Present study was carried out in order to find out the vocational interest of 1350 academic backward rural school children between the age group of 11-17 years and to provide results based remedial solutions and interventions. Vocational Interest Record (VIR) developed by Kulshrestha (1987) was used to find out the vocational interests of the academically backward rural children. The scale measures vocational interests of the respondents in ten areas, viz., literary, scientific, executive, commercial, constructive, artistic, agriculture, persuasive, social and household. For this purpose, samples were selected from different villages of nine states in India which includes Assam (Jorhat), Andhra Pradesh (Hyderabad), Haryana (Hissar), Himachal Pradesh (Palampur), Uttar Pradesh (Pantnagar), Rajasthan (Udaipur), Maharashtra (Parbhani), Punjab (Ludhiana), Uttarakhand (Dharwad). Results revealed that majority of the rural children from selected states of India were not aware of the availability of different vocational choices. Proper interventions, counselling and guidance should be given to these children that will further help them to settle in their career.
