Sandeep Kaur Sandhu (Faculty of Education, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia)

In a globalised world, it is difficult to think of daily life without the Internet and it is plausible that many people are engaging in online programmes. Students, and more specifically, tertiary education students, are an integral part of society and the Internet is widely used in educational systems. However, recent literature explores that the use of the Internet in the tertiary education system in India, and more specifically by university students, is very unsubstantial. This article explores Indian tertiary education students' perceptions about using the Internet for their learning. Drawing on a recent mixed methods study on Indian tertiary education students, the analysis employs the interpretive flexibility, a component of the Social Construction of Technology (SCOT) theory of Bijker and Pinch to show that the students' perceptions about Internet use for their learning were based on their Internet usage patterns.

To have a competitive edge over others, every organization is focussing on engaging their employees to become a competitive differentiator. Engaged employees have become a holistic part of success of the organizations. Employees can get engaged only if they are receiving a high performance work environment at their work place. Most of the organizations today are becoming a powerful source of competitive advantage and in order to overcome competition, physical and mental well-being of employees needs to be emphasised. Hence, employee engagement is today seen as a powerful source of competitive advantage in the turbulent times. To attain mental well being, employees perceive workplace spirituality, the thought within an individual about the work done by him and the reason behind doing that work. This can help in engaging employees which can ultimately result in organizational citizenship behaviour in them.This paper focuses on the role of workplace spirituality on employees which can help the organizations to know and develop measures so as to engage employees and retain talent thus resulting in organizational citizenship behaviour. This paper includes theoretical framework of employee engagement as a mediator between workplace spirituality and organizational citizenship behaviour. This paper proposes a conceptual model which can be helpful in understanding the impact of workplace spirituality on employee engagement which can result in the citizenship behaviour among the employees working in the organizations. This can lead to retention of employees thereby negatively impacting the “Intention to quit” in employees leaving them with a sense of belongingness with the organization and having long term relationship with the employees thus, keeping the organization economically sound.
