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: 271-276 Industry estimates suggest that there are more than 1,300 business schools in India and these business schools produce an estimated 120,000 graduates every year (Shahaida, January 2009: 58). Thus in this competitive scenario the students had to strive very hard to be 'market ready' which led to an increase in the perceived stress levels of management students. It is in this context that the study of stress becomes imperative among the students of Management. Academic stress among college students has been a topic of interest for many years. Students' experience of anxiety and stress during their college years may be imperative for their overall functioning as well as their academic performance. Many variables like academic pressure, financial concerns, social obligations, peer pressure etc. may be related to the academic-related stress experienced by college students. It is generally believed that females are able to manage their stress levels better. Emotional Intelligence (EI) too is believed to have a significant influence on stress. The objective of the study is to probe whether Emotional Intelligence and Gender play any role in influencing the Stress levels of Management Students. Data was collected from B Schools across India. Sample size was 1013. Two stage stratification sampling was done. The scale used to measure Stress levels of students is Organizational Role Stress (ORS) (Pareek 1983). The scale used to measure Emotional Intelligence of students is EIS Inventory developed by Upinder Dhar (2002). Results revealed that EI or Gender do not have a significant influence on the stress levels of students. However there is an inverse negative correlation between EI and stress. Both males and females experience stress through the levels may vary on various dimensions.

Pages: 263-270 The present article intends to present a contextual teaching and learning model that can be applied in the teaching of prayer in Islamic religious education. The essence of prayer is promoting understanding. Through a contextual learning model, there will emerge understanding and easier applicability of religious virtues based on clear knowledge. The author uses mixed methods, where data has been collected through participatory observation, documentation study, in-depth interview, and through questionnaires. It has been revealed that with the use of a contextual teaching and learning model to teach Islamic education, there is improved knowledge and understanding of the religious values. This can be evidenced from the students' improvement in the application of the learnt prayer knowledge in their daily life. Using a contextual teaching and learning model can make learning more realistic, concrete, actual, enjoyable, and meaningful, because students are actively engaged in the development of learning materials which are application to real life situation. The authors conclude by recommending that this learning model sould be applied to facilitate the teaching of religious virtues and practices in schools.

Pages: 255-262 The engagement of sports celebrities as the expression of marketing communications strategy has now become the practice of the companies in positioning of the brand in the consumers' mental space. Firms are making huge investments in hiring sports celebrities for juxtaposing brands and building organizations with endorser's source based qualities such as source trustworthiness, source attractiveness and source expertise in order to retain memory space of consumers, which is bombarded by thousands of adverts at a time. These qualities may operate in a transferable way and make optimistic effects. But the qualities of the celebrities at times may be inappropriate, irrelevant, and unwanted, which may make a hue and cry to the stigma and the firm in the positioning of the brand. In the current study, the factors of sports celebrity endorsement were employed as the stimuli to affect the brand positioning in order to measure customer purchase behavioural intention as the outcome.

Pages: 249-254 The study attempts to examine the relationship between personality traits and teacher effectiveness. Personality traits are measured by five dimensions: neuroticism extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientio-usness. To fulfill the purpose of the study, a sample of 450 trained teachers was taken from Secondary Govt. aided Schools of West Bengal, India who have completed their B.Ed. from the B.Ed College affiliated by University of Calcutta. Collected data was analyzed by using Correlations at bi-variate level to identify the pattern of relationship among sets of variables under the study and Multivariate Regression for analyzing the predicting power of the variables. It was found that Teacher Effectiveness scores of trained Secondary Govt. aided School Teachers were significantly correlated with their Extroversion and Openness of NEO-FFI. Neuroticism, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness of NEO-FFI scores were negatively correlated with Teacher Effectiveness scores. Openness has the highest predictive power for Teacher Effectiveness. The findings provide guidelines for teacher education curriculum reform, teacher recruitment procedure & criterion and for Professional Development Programme (PDP).

Pages: 231-234 The main purpose of this study was to examine organizational commitment among male and female Secondary School Teachers in relation to their personality. For this 104 teachers from both Government and Private schools were selected. Selected teachers were tested with Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (Mayer and Allen, 1990) and Neo-FFI (Coasta & McCrae 1992). The data were analyzed by applying Descriptive Statistics, t-ratios and Pearson's correlations. In case of three measures of Organizational Commitment the female teachers have scored significantly high on Normative commitment than male teachers. In case of personality female teachers have scored more on neuroticism, extraversion and openness than their counterparts male teachers. Persual of intercorrelation matrix reveals that in case of female secondary school teachers Affective commitment is significantly related to extraversion. Normative commitment is positively related to extraversion and openness and Continuous commitment is significantly related to neuroticism. Results also reveals that in case of male teachers Affective commitment is significantly related to neuroticism and agreeableness and Continuance Commitment is significantly related to neuroticism. The findings of the present study have important implications for recruitment process of teachers in schools and suggest the need of personality assessment of employees at the entry level.

Pages: 228-230 The concept of “stress” is one of the most significant ones ever developed in the social and biochemical sciences. However, theories of stress have varied greatly in their basic approaches as well as in their definitions of stress. A prime source of confusion in stress research is inadequate conceptualisation of the stress construct. Agarwala, Malhan and Singh (1979) believed that this confusion in definition existed because the same term is used differently by the scholars with different orientations.
