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: 127-133 Rural Banking plays a significant role in rural economy by catering to the growing needs of rural sector. Rural banking is required to meet the credit needs of rural economy for financing agriculture and allied activities, rural infrastructure and poverty alleviation programme meant for the weaker sections of the rural population. In country like India where large part of population still living in rural sector, development of rural economy is very important and rural banking plays a major role. Rural Banking System in India is comprised of Co-operatives banks, the rural branches of Commercial Banks and Regional Rural Banks. Under this paper performance Regional Rural Bank in Haryana is discussed by taking certain variables such as deposit mobilization, deposit per branch, advances outstanding, advances per branch, total business, productivity per employee, productivity per branch, investment, investment per branch, recovery in per cent, resources mobilization, and profitability performance. Time period of the study is from year 2005-06 to 2012-13 and based on secondary data collected from annual reports of RRBs in Haryana and some measures are suggested that the banks should simplify and standardize their procedure for scrutinizing loan applications and documentation formalities with a view to reducing the number of required documents and all RRBs must adopt a uniform money lending policy, The farmers should be educated for the proper utilization of loans through strong extension machinery so that defaults in recovery can be avoided, The willful defaulters responsible for maintaining overdues should be forced to repay the loans and should be dealt with strictly etc. Pages: 127-133Ritika Sharma (Department of Economics, Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, Haryana) |
Pages: 123-126 Life skills are defined as non-academic abilities, knowledge, attitude and behavior that must be learned for success in society. The present study aims to assess the impact of school factors i.e. stream of study, type of school and academic achievement on life skills among school going adolescents. The sample consisted of 200 school going adolescents. Life skills scale (Sharma, 2003) and background information sheet prepared by the investigator herself was used to collect the data. It was found that adolescents from private schools have better life skills than government school adolescents. Science stream school going adolescents possess more life skills than commerce and arts stream school going adolescents. Commerce stream adolescents possess significantly more life skills than arts stream school going adolescents.

Pages: 119-122 Prominence on organic foods is growing day by day as the awareness for health and environment is snowballing. Organic foods are more common in western countries but it is still in nascent stage in India. This paper attempts to find significant relationship of the predictors (knowledge about organic food, health concern and environmental concerns) on intentions to buy organic food. Structured questionnaire was administered to get responses using mall intercept survey method. A total of 204 responses came. Out of three independent variables under study namely knowledge, health concerns and environmental concerns, only two were found to affect the intention. The value of regression coefficients for environmental concern was lowest (b= 0.075, p>0.05) which means it is not having an impact on intentions directly. Health concern was found to have highest impact on intention (b= .614, p<.05). The study is confined to Pondicherry area only but provides important information about intentions towards organic food. The study would be helpful for mall owners, Retail outlets, super markets and restaurants in identifying the significant predictors of intention to buy organic food of consumers. This paper revisits the applicability of predictors of intention to buy organic food in the proposed model in Indian context. Pages: 119-122Ahsan Sadiq and B.

Pages: 113-118 Organizational justice is one of the widely researched areas in Industrial/ Organizational psychology and it refers to the extent to which employees perceive outcomes, procedures and interactions to be fair. Perception of fairness is a crucial concept for employees because it determines their attitudes and behaviours which ultimately have an impact on productivity of the organization. Employees who perceive equality and feel that they are rewarded fairly for their genuine contributions towards organization are satisfied. Employees having satisfaction tend to exert higher level of performance, commitment and reduced retention rates. A lot of work has been done on organizational justice in western countries but studies are lacking in Indian context. The present study is aimed at assessing the perception of organizational justice and its effect on job satisfaction on employees. The sample consists of 50 managerial level employees from various banks of Uttar Pradesh. Perception of justice has been assessed by using questionnaire designed by Neihoof and Moorman (1993) which consists of 20 items. Findings revealed that there is significant and positive relationship between organizational justice and job satisfaction. Further, result suggests that organizational justice is strong predictor of job satisfaction. The study is a useful addition in literature that would help the organizations to increase job satisfaction of their employees.

Pages: 101-107 What to choose as one's future career is among the most significant decisions a young person makes in life. Adolescence is an important period during which decision about the future is made and career is carved out, but unfortunately many adolescents experience episodes of career indecision. The aim of this research is to determine if career thoughts, parental support, and career decision-making self-efficacy can predict adolescents' career indecision. The study utilized the descriptive correlational method as its design and the participants were chosen through purposive sampling procedure with 538 adolescent-respondents. Results showed that adolescents' career indecision significantly correlated with career thoughts, parental support and career decision-making self-efficacy. Regression analysis using R² showed that 56% of the variation in career indecision is attributed to predictor variables. Results imply that when adolescents boost parental support and self-efficacy and reduce dysfunctional thoughts they would tend to improve their career indecision. Thus, a career guidance program focusing on the three predictor variables must be developed and implemented as a tool to help adolescents make appropriate career decisions in life.

Pages: 95-97 Monetary policy may either be defined in a broad or in a narrow sense. Defined in a broader sense, monetary policy not only includes monetary measures but also non-monetary measures which have monetary effects. In this sense, monetary policy covers a wide range of policies and measures. It includes not only monetary measures which influence the cost and availability of money but also those non-monetary measures which influence monetary situations. Thus, non-monetary measures such as control of prices or wages, physical control, budgetary measures, income policy measures, etc. would be included within the scope of monetary policy defined in broader sense in so far as their primary aim is to influence the monetary situation.

Pages: 89-94 The famous writer Mr. E. L. Normanton states in his Book titled “The Accountability and Audit of Government” states “without audit, no accountability, without accountability, no control”.The main object of commercial audit is to present before the proprietor or proprietors of the business an accurate statement of the position of affairs together with a Profit and Loss Account showing how this position has been reached. In the case of companies the duty of an auditor is mainly in the interest of the shareholders, who are practically sleeping partners in the business. On the other hand the Government is responsible to spend the money which is collected from the public in shape of Taxes and Levies. As such the Government Audit is rather more important than that of the commercial audit and was recognised during pre-independence era with the introduction of constitutional Reforms of 1919. The necessity and importance of Government Audit has increased day by day as the Governments have involved in more and more activities by using the public funds.

Pages: 83-88 The purpose of this study is to explore self-efficacy and optimism as a predicator of organizational commitment among academicians in private and public sector institutions. Self-efficacy is a belief in one's capacities and the positive attitude towards life.Organizational commitment is state that binds the individual to organization in which they work. Several studies have revealed that self-efficacy and optimism as a significant predictor of employee's attitude to organizational commitment.Literature on the relationship between self-efficacy, optimism and organizational commitment supports the notion that self-efficacy and optimism is an important determinant of organizational commitment.Teacher's Self-efficacy and optimistic behaviour is one of the important variable in education over 25 years now. This variable impacts student's outcome like students achievement scores. In Indian Academic scenario work has been done on self-efficacy and optimism as a predicator of organizational commitment but not much has been done when we compare academicians of private and public sector.Teacher's self-efficacy has been found to relate to positive student and teacher behaviour's, and has a positive effect on educational system and its improvements which leads to the commitment towards the organization.Several studies have shown that academicians from public and private sector institution also differ in terms of their commitment towards the organization.
