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.

Punia (Department of Textile and Apparel Designing, COHS, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana) Durrie-weaving in rural Haryana though has a seal of social approval, no longer offers any incentive for attainment of creative element and professional efficiency. The survival of this textile heritage is threatened by the modern mechanized and commercialized methods of producing durries. Decorative techniques like embroidery have been contributing to the adornment of textile materials in Haryana since long. If woven durrie designs are complemented with such decorative techniques, for which the villagers are already skilled, this traditional art will get a new face. Therefore, this art of rural Haryana call for special attention to make it a marketable commodity, in other forms such as mats, bags, belts and cushion materials, with various styles of embellishment. Keeping these facts in mind a study was conducted to know the embellishment techniques preferences of consumer for diversified durrie products. It is concluded that the consumers had high opinion about the embellishment techniques as these helped in breaking the monotony of woven products and provided variation to existing techniques. However when the cost of prepared diversified products with different techniques was compared, it was found that diversified products prepared with painting techniques was lowest followed by machine embroidery and hand embroidery.

This results in hiring of employees on temporary/contractual basis. This situation is especially bad among the teachers belonging to various government schools and colleges in Delhi. This research investigated emotional responses of Job Insecurity in terms of Turnover Intentions and lesser Organizational Commitment. Moderating role of Work Based Support for the proposed relations was also investigated. A sample of 110 temporary/contractual/ad-hoc teachers belonging to MCD schools and several colleges from a university was used for this study. 'Partial Least Square' technique of 'Structural Equation Modeling' was applied using 'SmartPLS 2.0.M3' to understand the proposed relationships. Results show that a feeling of Job Insecurity is responsible for both the Turnover Intention and lesser commitment towards the employing organization. Work Based Support was found to be a significant moderator for this relation, with employees receiving high Work Based Support found to be more capable of handling their emotional responses. Organizational implications have been suggested. Pages: 361-367

P.U.A & T., Pantnagar, U.S. Nagar, Uttarakhand ) The reduction of postural stress is fundamental to workstation design in ergonomics. A multifaceted approach is needed to arrive at appropriate workstation design for different workers. The requirement of tasks and the characteristics of users need to be considered in relation to the options for workstation design. Therefore present study was carried out to assess and improve the workstation design for weaving operation and for the reduction of associated occupational health hazards. Descriptive cum experimental research design was chosen for the present study. Thirty workers (27 female & 3 male) involved in various weaving activities formed the sample for the investigation. Along with this, physiological parameters and postural angle analysis of weavers were assessed by conducting the experiments. To improve posture and potentially decrease musculoskeletal problems provision of ergonomically-designed workstations for weavers was intervened. Participation of women respondents was found maximum in this enterprise. The work was performed using frequent changes of the postures which included sitting, standing, forward and backward bending postures which can lead to MSD. All these activities were performed using two types of workstations. Due to prolonged sitting posture while performing the activity led to stiffness in calf muscles and besides this it also causes pain in feet as well as in back. To improve posture and decrease MSD problems, ergonomically-designed workstation for weavers were refined and developed. Two prototype of sitting stool and stool cum chair was introduced to test the suitability of the technology and it was found that there was reduction of MSDs by 48 percent along with enhancement in production.

Khan (Department of Psychology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pardesh) The study was carried out to construct a valid and reliable scale for measuring consumer's preference. It was a bilingual (English & Hindi) Consumers' Preference scale. The responses were on a Likert type five point scale with 40 items. A sample of 780 consumers was drawn to determine the psychometric properties (validity & reliability) of the test. Subject Matter Experts (SME) rated each statement on relevance, clarity, simplicity and ambiguity. As confirmed by SME, test showed high face and content validity. Item analysis conducted and the reliability using Cronbach's Alpha of the scale was found 0.94 and is excellent. Using a more structured method, in Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) with varimax rotation eight factors emerged and labeled very cautiously. In all eight factors explained 62.54% of the total variance. Convergent validity was evaluated using different criterion and the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) by each construct exceeding the variance due to measurement error for that construct. The composite reliability was also examined. Further, inter-factorial correlations among sub-dimensions of Consumers' Preference scale found highly significant (p<0.001).The test is valid and reliable for assessing students internally and prepare them for external examinations. It can be concluded that the present research work confirms high psychometric characteristics of Consumers' Preference scale. Pages: 350-355

During the schooling period a student interacts with teachers and other fellow students. Hence, the present study was undertaken to explore the student's experiences, expectations and conceptualization of school teacher in their life. The data was collected from undergraduate and postgraduate students (n=70) of Department of Psychology, D.D.U. Gorakhpur University, individually. These students had written a write up on good and bad teachers in their school life with focus on their look alike, handling of classes, help or constraining in handling schooling pressure, behavior of teachers and student expectations, etc. The narrative analysis was done with focus on thematic and structural type of narrative analysis. The themes that emerged for good teacher included characteristics such as better way of teaching, no discrimination among students, disciplined class, dutiful, care and concern, person with moral values and helping nature. Characteristics of a bad teacher included themes such as insulting student in class, discrimination among students, inappropriate teaching methods, excessive expression of aggression and punishment, pessimistic and inhumane nature, and no respect for others. These findings are very pertinent in developing teacher training modules that what characteristic a student want or don't want in his/her teacher in contemporary world of information overload where the student is not looking to his/her teacher as information provider but as a motherly or fatherly figure who shape them, give emotional support in ups and downs of school pressure.

Pages: 337-343 Anisha Juneja (Department of Psychology, University of Delhi, Delhi) Monika Rikhi (Department of Psychology, Sri Aurobindo College, New Delhi ) Career choice has the potential to influence the social mobility, economic security, employment opportunity, emotional well being and quality of life of an individual and his/her family. The process of choosing a career is a developmental task that comes as a challenge to both the child and the parent. As the child progresses across the career stages, decisions of persistence and shift are also made. The present research aimed to study the role of family environment and work values in determining the vocational preference and work values across career stages. The participants included children freshly enrolled in college, those who had been working for less than 2 years after post graduation and those working for less than 10 years, the sample size being 120. The measures used in the study were General Health Questionnaire-12, Family Environment Scale, Vocational Preference Inventory and Values Scale. Regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between the variables. The study has clinical implications for emphasising the importance of making a more planned career decision and evaluating various aspects in career stream persistence or transition. Pages: 337-343

Pages: 332-336 Amir Prasad Behera, Prajna Pani, and Anita Patra (School of Management Centurion, University of Technology and Management (CUTM), Odisha) The paper reports on the selection and validation phase of an emotional intelligence scale. Nowadays, diverse psychometric instruments are commercialized and applied in order to select personnel or to evaluate knowledge, abilities and skills in business and educational settings (Drasgow et al., 2009). Since decisions about individuals are based on results of these tests, the validity and reliability of such instruments is of considerable importance (Kline, 2000). Statistical testing of reliability and validity of a psychological instrument helps to evaluate to which extent the predictions made on this instrument represents the latent construct aimed to be measured. The study uses the method of item analysis. It analyses the reliability and validity of a questionnaire that measures Emotional Intelligence skills of a random sample of 200 from a Multi-sector State Private University in India. The study provided that it has an acceptable reliability and validity, and the questionnaire can be used in exploring the emotional intelligence of people in higher education among sample of University population and beyond.

Pages: 326-331 Kaushiki Tripathi and Manisha Agarwal (Department of Psychology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh) The present study investigated the role of communication satisfaction on organizational commitment of the employees in the automobile sector. The sample consisted of 133 managerial employees from automobile organizations. The communication satisfaction of the employees was measured by a scale (Down & Hazen, 1977) consisting of eight dimensions namely communication climate, relationship with superior, organizational integration, media quality, horizontal communication, organizational perspective, relationship with subordinate, and personal feedback. The organizational commitment scale (Allen & Meyer, 1996) measured the commitment level of the employees on three dimensions namely, affective, continuance and normative commitment. Statistical analyses showed that all the dimensions of communication satisfaction were significantly correlated with affective and normative commitment in the automobile organizations. However, continuance commitment was not significantly correlated with all the dimensions of communication satisfaction. The stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that relationship with subordinate and supervisor communication emerged as a significant predictor of affective commitment. Media quality and relationship with supervisor emerged as significant predictors of normative commitment. Communication climate emerged as the significant predictor of the continuance commitment. The findings have implications for the quality of communication in automobile sector and emphasise the positive relationship that exists between communication satisfaction and organizational commitment of the employees.

And this become possible with the help of Information and Communication Technologies. Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become commonplace entities in all aspects of life. Across the past twenty years the use of ICT has fundamentally changed the practices and procedures of nearly all forms of endeavour within business and governance. Education is a very socially oriented activity and quality education has traditionally been associated with strong teachers having high degrees of personal contact with learners. The use of ICT in education lends itself to more student-centred learning settings. But with the world moving rapidly into digital media and information, the role of ICT in education is becoming more and more important and this importance will continue to grow and develop in the 21st century. In this paper, a literature review regarding the use of ICTs in education is provided and will help us to know the ICT aids to help the stake holders in delivery of quality education. This paper will help us in understanding the concept of ICT and how it is beneficial for teaching learning process. Pages: 323-325

Pages: 318-322 Ritu, Lali Yadav, and S. Kaushik (Department of Extension Education and Communication Management, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, Haryana) In Indian context, women are major producers of food in terms of value, volume and number of hours worked. Nearly 78.0 per cent of women are engaged in agriculture as compared to 63.0 per cent of all economically active men. Almost 50.0 per cent of rural female workers are classified as agricultural labourers and 37.0 per cent as cultivators. About 70.0 per cent of farm work was performed by the women. Though they participate in a variety of economic activities yet their potential is still underutilized as most of their work remains unpaid and never measured in socio-economic and technological terms. In this study efforts have been made to recognize the entrepreneurial attributes and to enhance capacity building of women in medicinal and aromatic plants activities in diversified agriculture for entrepreneurship. Hisar district of Haryana was selected purposively having State Agriculture University and other State and Central institutions pertaining to agriculture and allied areas. A sample of 200 respondents was selected from four villages namely Mangali, Kaimri, Rawalwas and Shapur. Results revealed that majority of the respondents reported high category for Creativity (57.5%), Self-confidence (53.5.0%), Change proneness (47.0%) and Rationality in thinking (46.50%) for personal competencies, launching competencies, commitment competencies and managerial competencies, respectively. Significant gain in knowledge of the respondents was observed for all the ten components about medicinal and aromatic plants diversified agricultural activities for capacity building of the respondents.

Pages: 314-317 Jaga M. Basantia (Department of Education, Gangadharpur Mahavidyamandir, Howrah & Guest Faculty Department of Education, West Bengal State University, Barasat) Sustainable development of any country largely dependents on the health and education of women of that particular society. A higher women literacy rate improve the quality of life both at home and outside home, by encouraging and promoting education of children, especially female children and in reduce the infant mortality rate and so on. There are so many factors are responsible for the low literacy rate of women education in India. Some of the important factors which could be attributed for the present literacy status of women in India are Poverty, social system, girl child as substitute to mother, poor school environment, early marriage, social discrimination etc. To improve the literacy rate of women the Government of India has taken a number of ambitious programme, but still it has certain areas of concern, which are primarily responsible for un-fulfilment of the goals of gender equality, women literacy and women empowerment.
