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: 31-34 Tanu Kukreja Bhayana and Sukirti Ahuja (Amity University, Gurgaon, Haryana) It is often said that 'A person cannot win a game that he/she does not play'. In the context of entrepreneurship, this statement suggests that the success depends upon a person's willingness to become an entrepreneur. But, then the question arises that 'Are there some innate qualities in human beings which help them to become successful entrepreneurs?' Does an entrepreneur think more positive for his/her own self? The purpose of the paper is to find out the same. The present research paper is entitled as, “A correlational study of Entrepreneurship and Self-Compassion among working class of Delhi-NCR Region”. A sample of 150 working people was taken from company employs of Delhi NCR region, aged 22-40 years. Out of 150 people, 75 were males and 75 were females. Results accepted the null hypothesis that there lies no correlation between Self-Compassion and Entrepreneurship. Pages: 31-34

Pages: 23-30 Ishu Garg (Department of Economics, Kurukshetra University, Kurkshetra, Haryana) Karnika Gupta (Department of Commerce, Kurukshetra University, Kurkshetra, Haryana) Haryana, despite being an economically strong State of India, is suffering from the problem of inter-district disparities in health infrastructure. Among twenty one districts of the State, a few are endowed with better health facilities while others are lagging behind. Consequently, it becomes necessary to study the district wise availability of health infrastructure in terms of hospitals, health centres, beds in medical institutions, doctors, nurses et cetera in State of Haryana so that inequalities can be understood and remedies can be offered. Keeping in view this backdrop, the present study is attempted to examine the inter-district disparities in health infrastructure in Haryana. For this purpose, ten indicators of health infrastructure are selected and their Coefficient of Variation, Ratios and Deprivation and Development Indices are worked upon. At the outset, statistical values of Coefficient of Variation confirm the gaps in the availability of health facilities in various districts of Haryana and variations are found to be highest in case of the available beds in medical institutions followed by hospitals and dispensaries. Further, the findings highlights that in most of the districts, the ratios of health infrastructural indicators including doctor, nurse, bed, hospital, Primary health centre, Community health centre, dispensary to population are insignificant and exploring wide imbalances. Finally, the deprivation as well as development indices of health infrastructure reveal the discrepancies in districts with regard to health infrastructural development. On the basis of these indices it is found that the districts including Bhiwani and Hisar are developed while Rohtak, Sirsa, Karnal, Jind, Sonipat are experiencing moderate level of development in health facilities. Lastly, the third category of the districts are Palwal, Mewat, Panipat, Faridabad, Rewari, Fatehbad, Panchkula, Kurukshetra, Gurgaon, Mahendragarh, Kaithal, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Jhajjar which are underprivileged with regard to the development of health infrastructure and thus, looking for immediate attention with concrete plan of action from Government of Haryana.

Pages: 13-17 Shirish K. Shitole (Department of Psychology, Mahavir Mahavidyalaya, Kolhapur, Maharashtra) The aim of this research was to find out the relationship between Big Five Personality Factors (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism) and Motivated Learning Strategies used by students aspiring for careers through civil services' competitive examinations. To find out whether there existed any gender difference was also studied. Two scales namely, Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire developed by Pintrich, Smith, Garcia, and McKeachie (1991) and NEO-Five Factor Inventory: Short Form developed by Costa, Jr. and McCrae (1992), were used for this study. The total number of sample was 199 (135 Males and 64 Females) and was taken from civil services' competitive examination centers at Pune and Ichalkaranji. In case of male students, the motivational orientation was significantly correlated with conscientiousness (r=.2; p<.01) and extraversion (r=.2; p<.01) and non-significantly correlated with openness to experience (r=-.1), agreeableness (r=-.049) and neuroticism (r=.05). In case of female students, the motivational orientation was significantly correlated with conscientiousness (r=.39; p <.01) and extraversion (r=.2; p <.01) and non-significantly correlated with openness to experience (r=.014), agreeableness (r=-.09) and neuroticism (r=-.12). The relationship of learning strategies was non-significant with openness (r=-.13) and agreeableness (r=-.03) and was significant with conscientiousness (r=.5; p<.01), extraversion (r=.48; p<.01) and neuroticism (r=-.4; p<.01) in case of male students. In case of female students, the relationship of learning strategies was non-significant with openness (r=.04) but was found significant with conscientiousness (r=.62; p <.01) and extraversion (r=.37; p<.01), agreeableness (r=.43; p<.01) and neuroticism (r=-.46; p<.01). No significant difference was found among male and female students regarding motivational orientation (z=.59) towards civil services' competitive examinations but in case of learning strategies, a significant difference in favour of girls was found (z=2.16; p<.05). Regarding Big Five Factors, significant differences were found between males and females in case of conscientiousness (z=3.59; p<.01) and agreeableness (z=2.87; p<.01). For other factors, namely, openness (z=.57), extraversion (1.24) and neuroticism (.08), no significant gender differences between civil services' aspirants were found. Pages: 13-17

Pages: 8-12 Elizabeth Semp and Rejoyson Thangal (Department of Applied Psychology, Pondicherry University, Kalapet, Puducherry) Differences between High Achievers and Low Achievers on cognitive, motivational, emotional and environmental variables were examined. The sample comprised of eighty school students (N=80) drawn from a Kendriya Vidyalaya School located in Puducherry. Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM), Study Involvement Inventory (SII), Reynold's Adolescent Adjustment Inventory (RAASI) and Parent Involvement Scale (PIS) were the instruments administered. The two groups differed on emotional attributes. Notably, differences were observed between the High Achievers and Low Achievers on the dimensions of aggression, abasement, antisocial behaviour and anger control problem. The findings underscore the role of emotional adjustment in academic achievement and allude to the complex interplay of emotion and cognition in learning. Identification of specific noncognitive factors has implications in developing effective guidance and counselling programs, targeted intervention designs and in the planning of teacher education, training and development of educational modules and policies.

Pages: 1-7 Joseph M. Shila and Aleli V. Sevilla (The Graduate School, University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines) Today there is much attention given to effective leadership, that without which organizations will find it difficult to survive. To be effective, leaders not only need technical skills but also people skills that can motivate the followers with understanding, sensitivity and prudence. There are very few studies done in India regarding these aspects from the educational perspective. There for the objective of this study is to determine the influence of leadership styles of the principals as perceived by the teachers on their job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The study made use of Linear Regression to identify the impact of administrators' leadership styles on teachers' job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The collected data shows a significant impact of transformational leadership on teachers' job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Pages: 1-7
