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: 166-170 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: 158-165 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: 158-165Shadma Absar (National University of Educational Planning and Administration, New Delhi ) |
Pages: 154-157 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 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: 145-149 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.

Pages: 140-144 SUPW (Socially Useful Productive Work) is very close to the concept of basic education, given by Mahatma Gandhi, according to which education in and through work is important. SUPW is a prevocational subject at secondary school level that enables students to become self-reliant. But still the subject suffers from ineffective implementation as well as gender stereotypes constrain in the society. The choice of activities for SUPW is mostly different in case of boys and girls. The study clearly proves the prevalence of gender stereotypes in the mind-sets of students that is not only affecting their choice of vocations but also attitude towards the subject like SUPW. Repetitive and traditional activities performed under SUPW are making the subject very boring and burden on the students. Concept clarity about the real meaning of SUPW is required in students' .The roots of the subject need strengthening and improvisation by transformation of activities under it; to achieve the goal of work centred education and experiential learning irrespective of gender stereotypes.

Pages: 136-139 Marital satisfaction is an essential element for successful family life and personal growth. The fulfillment and positive development will be possible only when the relationship between couples is coherent and satisfactory. In a society like India, the active engagement of women in the employment sector and their dual role has significant correlation with the marital satisfaction. Different factors have significant influence on the occupational stress like marital satisfaction, personality of the partner, nature of job, child rearing responsibility, sexual satisfaction and communication patterns are some of the examples. The present study was based on 2x2 factorial design which has focused on the marital satisfaction and occupational stress. For this purpose 160 (80 male & 80 female) bank employees, from both private and government banks of western UP, have been selected for the study using purposive sampling procedure. Data collection was done by using questionnaires, which includes occupational stress scale and marital satisfaction scale. The obtained data were analyzed with ANOVA. Findings of this study indicated that level of marital satisfaction significantly influence the level of occupational stress, whereas gender does not seem to contribute in occupational stress. But the interaction of gender and marital satisfaction present a significant picture related to the word of work.

Pages: 127-132 There is a popular perception and apprehension that society is changing very fast and children are becoming more independent, outgoing, less respecting their elders, adopting the western cultures and by that way they are losing the Indian values. There is a debate among the social psychologists and sociologists about the nature and pace of social change and about erosion of Indian traditional values. Whether the Indian cultures, society and values are really changing or it is only media hype? However, there is an agreement among the majority of Indian social scientists that though there is a change in the fashion, technology, life styles, markets, education etc but the spirit of the Indian traditional values are still intact but there is a common doubt that whether it will be intact in future or not? Forces of social change such as globalisation, urbanisation, migration, higher education, employment etc. will impact the Indian values. Thus, there is need to protect and preserve the existing social institutions such as family, neighbourhoods, kinships, role of elderly and many institutionalised behavioural patterns such as respect and services to the elderly, parents, widows, disabled, unemployed etc in the society. This paper based on review of research, analyses the role of traditional social institutions for inculcating, preserving and strengthening values among the Indian children from the psychological point of view.

Pages: 116-122 Present investigation was done to test the knowledge of employees working in different industries. With this aim preliminary 140 items were collected and developed pertaining to the principles of ergonomics. Items which were nonspecific, redundant, vague and repetitive were rejected. This method led to a reduction of 74 items that means 66 items were discarded from the test. Thereafter content validity was done which also led to the reduction of items to 47. Again after getting the expert's opinion on the items of test index of item difficulty, index of item discrimination, index of item validity, point biserial and reliability were worked out. Finally ergonomic test contains 21 items where whole test was divided into three parts as work, worker and workplace. In work category there was 7 items, worker category contains 8 items and workplace category contains 6 items. To administer the knowledge test a respondent is given one mark for each correct answer and zero for each wrong answer. The total score of the respondents on all items of the test is taken on the basis of their knowledge score and the respondents may be categorized in to three groups having low, medium and high level of knowledge about ergonomic principles. Respondents who will score between 0-7 will be falls under the category of low level of ergonomics knowledge, followed by medium (8-14) and high level of knowledge (15-21) about ergonomics principles.

Pages: 108-115 Foreign Direct Investment is an investment by a foreign Enterprise into any country other than its home country. FDI plays an important role in the growth and dynamics of a country. The development of a country depends upon the FDI inflow. FDI brings advancement in technology, increases production, increases capital inflow and introduces better managerial practices, etc. It also leads to export growth and industrial development. Small domestic enterprises also benefit from the incoming of FDI. India took its first step towards liberalization in 1991 after which FDI inflows increased substantially as compared to previous decades. This article talks about the inflow of FDI in India from 1981 to April 2016. This period has been divided into three sections- Pre-reform period (1981-1990) Post-reform period (1991-92, 2008-09) and the Recent period (April, 2010-2016). It shows the inflow of FDI and sectoral change in the FDI inflow during the pre-reform, post-reform and recent period. The various policy measures and steps taken by the government to increase FDI inflows in India during the post-reform period and government's recent policies and incentives being given to the foreign investors to increase FDI inflow is also a part of the article. The positive and negative impacts of FDI on India and its economy are also discussed in the paper. Pages: 108-115Devansh Gupta (Symbiosis Law School, Pune, Maharashtra) |
