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: 425-431 Person job fit model proposes selection of suitable individual which contributes toward positive organizational outcomes. The organizational commitment is a job attitude which cannot be measured during the selection process. However, its antecedents can be ascertained and may become basis for employee selection. Among several possible predictors personality could be worth measuring while hiring an individual. The personality traits are relatively stable and are linked with desirable organizational outcomes. Therefore, his study intends to explore the relationship between personality traits and organizational commitment using Big Five Inventory and Organizational Commitment Scale. Purposive sampling was employed and data were collected from 100 nationalized bank employees in Jammu city (India). Pearson's product moment method and linear regression was used to carry out the statistical analysis of the data. Positive and significant relationship has been found between extraversion and affective commitment; agreeableness and normative commitment; openness to experience and normative commitment. Negative but significant relationship between conscientiousness and continuance commitment emerged in this study. Extraversion and agreeableness are found to predict affective and normative commitment respectively. The findings have implications for human resource management.

Pages: 420-424 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.

Pages: 416-419 The purpose of doing this research was to study role of locus of control in academic achievement of students of science at higher secondary school level. For testing the hypothesis of the research a final sample of 320 students were selected randomly out of which 160 students were of internal locus of control and 160 students were of external locus of control. Locus of Control Scale constructed and standardized by Vohra (1994) was used to determine locus of control in students. Marks obtained in 12th class CBSE board examination were considered as academic achievement of the students. The outcome of statistical analysis of data showed that students with internal locus of control truly excelled those with external locus of control in respect of their academic achievement.

Pages: 395-398 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.
