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: 197-201 Surbhi Kumar (Department of Psychology, University of Delhi, Delhi) Anavila Lochan (Shyama Prasad Mukherji College, University of Delhi, New Delhi ) Peace psychology is still an emerging domain on the larger sphere of psychology. The present paper tries to locate peace in psychology and education as it is gaining momentum in the research paradigm given the backdrop of increased violent and terrorist activities. Peace building and peacemaking are strategies that can be learned and thus including the concept of peace in the modern day pedagogical systems can prove to be very instrumental to come up with alternatives to conflicts at both individual and societal levels. We have further tried to evaluate and make some suggestions for peace education curriculum conceptualizing it in the Indian settings through a Gandhian perspective. Pages: 197-201

Pages: 191-196 Sumangali Radhakrishnan (Department of Psychology, Jesus and Mary College, University of Delhi, Delhi) Anavila Lochan (Department of Applied Psychology, Shyama Prasad Mukherji College University of Delhi, Delhi) With the increasing pace of globalisation, the world is becoming smaller. It has become near impossible for human beings to live in the comfortable cocoons offered by their own communities, cultures, religions, and countries. Diversity in cultures and ethnicities often promote feelings of 'otherness' and misinterpretation of needs, values, intentions, and expectations of the other person resulting in disputes and subsequently aggrandizing feelings of hatred and contempt. Workplace settings are no exception to this. The present article reviews the concept of cultural intelligence and its implications in the organisational milieu. Right from negotiations to leadership, cultural intelligence has been found to be a critical skill, enhancing task performance and workplace adjustment in this multicultural environment.

In the educational context, quality is seen as a complex issue as education is concerned with human being. Human Beings' overall quality is largely depended upon the quality of education provided to them. And it is the role of the teaching community to take up the responsibility to impart quality education among the students. For the prosperity and integrity of nation, quality of teacher education is then an important aspect and it cannot be ignored because teachers' teaching competencies or quality of teaching too is dependent on the quality of teacher education. In the name of development of education, for access to maximum, self-financing teacher education institutions are mushrooming now-a-days. In a small state like Tripura within a couple of years many institutions have come forward to offer Teacher Education but how far the quantitative expansion has been accompanied a qualitative increase in teacher education is actually a big question. This paper attempts to discuss the strategies for quality enhancement in teacher education that help in designing the program in order to respond to global challenges, ensure a quality outcome so as to serve students of this small state in a better manner.

Pages: 184-186 Bani Narula (Department of Psychology, D.A.V College, Sector 10, Chandigarh) This paper provides a comprehensive overview of Flynn Effect and its possible explanations in today's world. An underlying quest among all of us keeps emerging that are we really more smarter than our parents and grandparents. Flynn Effect proposes that people today are getting smarter at skills that are more important in our society today, particularly abstract thinking. In the past century, our society has progressed from being agricultural to being industrial and is now information-based. As our society has progressed, people have become better at thinking in abstract, scientific terms. However, environmental changes resulting from modernization such as more intellectually demanding work, greater use of technology and smaller families have meant that a much larger proportion of people are more accustomed to manipulating abstract concepts such as hypotheses and categories than a century ago.

Pages: 180-183 Ramesh Sandhu (Department of Education, C. R. College of Education, Hisar, Haryana) Engaging learning environment may be considered as the support system that creates such conditions in which students learn best. It caters to the unique learning needs of every student and develops social relationship for effective learning. Engaging learning environment consists of those structures, tools and community that inspire the learners to gain knowledge, skills and positive attitude which are required in this modern era. The objectives of this paper are to search the different components of engaging learning environment. There are several components of engaging learning environment, such as physical environment that support in developing effective learning environment, sharing of best practices among the teachers that help in enrichment of knowledge and skill, project based learning, effective use of modern technologies like electronic and online learning, social learning like group, peer and team interaction, international involvement in learning, both face to face and online. Thus, it can be concluded that learning environment must take into account the context that promote interaction and enable formal and informal learning. While different components like physical and temporal structure, tools, community and policy for learning have great impact on developing engaging leaning environment, however, their cumulative impact is much more powerful. In fact, effective learning environment is developed when these components get integrated into a seamless whole in which each component reinforces each other. Pages: 180-183

Pages: 177-179 Isha Narang (Department of Management Studies, Mittal School of Business, Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar, Punjab) The advertisements are going to be on very high heights, but some are good, some are annoying, some are simply waste, but the marketers are trying hard to be there in the market. The market condition shifting from old age to new age, production to sales, sales to new dimensions of marketing and in current era, it's going to be specific to positioning. So, this is the piece of theoretical aspect presented in the form of view point, indicating the previous condition of the marketing concept and distribution of the products, which has now transformed into positioning concept alone somehow. The aim of the view point is to provide the direction to the marketing researcher to explore the new marketing of the current era. Pages: 177-179

Pages: 171-176 Sumangali Radhakrishnan (Department of Psychology, Jesus and Mary College, University of Delhi, Delhi) Motivating employees is one of the greatest issues concerning employers today. To succeed in today's globalised world, organisations require a competitive edge that can be provided only by a highly motivated workforce. Traditionally, managers have relied on the use of financial rewards to attract, motivate, and retain employees. However, in the past few years, attention has shifted to the use of non-financial rewards to engage employees and maximise organisational outcomes. This paper reviews writings that address non-financial rewards, its theoretical underpinnings and its relevance to the organisational outcomes. The review also summarises the different types of non-financial rewards under four categories, namely, learning and professional development opportunities, employee involvement programmes, rewards and recognition, and work-life balance aids. Implications for practitioners have been discussed. Pages: 171-176

Pages: 166-170 Swati Jain and Nimisha Kumar (Centre for Early Childhood Development & Research, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi) This paper attempts to take a brief overview of historical developments in education at the global as well as national level and in that context then aims to look at Gandhi's educational and philosophical views. The relation between Ahimsa, which is the cornerstone of Gandhi's philosophy, and well-being would be considered in keeping with Gandhi's views on education. Gandhi's philosophy of education aimed at transforming individuals to be responsible citizens who would contribute to the well-being of the society and also build individual character. The Gandhian model of social reconstruction aims at enhancing the character and overall development of individuals and nurture cultural development. One can conclude that the Gandhian perspective focuses on the holistic development of the individual by focusing on education as a basic fundamental right. Pages: 166-170

Pages: 158-165 Shadma Absar (National University of Educational Planning and Administration, New Delhi ) Leadership behaviour and effectiveness are influenced by how leadership is perceived by other social players, for example peers, superiors, followers or subordinates. The aim of the present study was to find perceptions of teachers about their department heads. 120 University teachers were selected randomly from a university in Delhi. Out which 40 teachers were selected each from social science, Basic Science and professional science courses. The Multi factor Leadership Questionnaire, Work Motivation and Organizational Commitment questionnaire were administered for measuring the perceived leadership style, work motivation and organizational Commitment of University teachers. The socio demographic information of participants was also collected. The results revealed that the university teachers perceived their heads' behaviour to be more oriented towards transformational leadership. The teachers of professional science courses perceive their heads as transformational leaders, in comparison to social science and basic science teachers. The perceived leadership style was found correlated significantly positively with the work motivation but not with organizational commitment. Leadership perceptions were found to influence work motivation more in comparison to organisational commitment Pages: 158-165

Pages: 154-157 M. Rajendra Nath Babu and Lungsang Zeliang (Department of Education, Nagaland University, Kohima Campus, Nagaland) Education as a social institution is a boon to humankind for prosperity, progress and peace. Value oriented education gives the virtuous inner motives and actions and the inner consciousness from which more actions emerge as outer actions in human life. Education with socialistic, humanistic values in the existing society is inseparable from value oriented education. The main purpose of the study is to know the attitude of professional college students towards value oriented education with respect to locality and management. The sample for the investigation which consisted of 320 professional college students in Y.S.R. Kadapa district was selected through the stratified random sampling technique. Mean, SD, t-test were used to analyze the data. From the results it shows that locality has no significant influence and management has significant influence on the attitude of professional college students towards value oriented education.

Pages: 150-153 Shayani Sengupta and Rama Shankar Yadav (Department of Psychology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh) This study aims to explore the understanding of the concept of work-family conflict among teachers in the Indian academic context. Semi-structured interviews were used to investigate the meaning, antecedents and consequences of work-family conflict. Further, the roles of organizations, co-workers and government to reduce work-family conflict were also analyzed. A sample of 13 teachers from West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh was drawn. Content and thematic analyses of the responses were done. It was revealed from the interviews that the majority of the participants perceived work-family conflict as a state of misbalance between work and family domains. The major antecedents of work-family conflict include scarcity of time and mismatch of personal ambitions, expectations from others and role ambiguity. The major consequences of work-place are stress, discontentment, alienation from family and work, lack of work-life balance. The study ultimately suggests possible methods to reduce work family conflict at four level, Government level, organizational level, colleague level and self level. Pages: 150-153

Pages: 145-149 Manpreet Kaur, Navdeep Aggarwal, and Mohit Gupta (Department of School of Business Studies, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab) This study focused combining two popular investment strategies viz., financial statement analysis and momentum strategy with focus on low book-to-market stocks. In order for the result to be practically useful all sorts of transaction costs as well as the trade restrictions were duly incorporated. Using a combination of Mohanram (2005) and Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) framework among low book-to-market stocks, it was found that financial statement analysis helped identifying such stocks among low book-to-market stocks which produce significant excess returns across holding periods of 3, 6, and 12 months. On combining this strategy with pure momentum, significant improvement in returns were seen across 3 and 6 months formation period for all holding periods of 3, 6, and 12 months. Significant Jensen's Alpha figures corroborated these results. However, for 12 months formation period, the value addition by momentum declined and became negative for 12 months holding period. This shows a combination of financial statement analysis and momentum among low book-to-market stocks can bring significant improvement in returns; the results however are restricted to short formation periods only.
