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: 490-492 The objective of this study is to explore the most preferred teaching style of management educators and management students and also to see if there is a match between the preferences of teachers and students. The three teaching styles considered in this study are the challenger, the compiler and the counsellor. A questionnaire covering these three styles was developed. The questionnaire was administered to 74 students and 31 Faculty Members of a post graduate programme in management studies. Data collected was analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. Findings show that both teachers and students of management education prefer the challenger style followed by compiler style and then counsellor style. The study emphasizes the need to match and adapt styles preferred by both students and teachers. The study emphasizes the need for rigorous research so that the challenger style can be enhanced.

Pages: 485-489 The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), the central proposition of finance for the last thirty five years rests on assumption of rationality. But it has been proved that people are ruled as much by emotion as by logic and selfishness. As behavioral finance suggests, everyone makes the best of a bad situation and the situation in the stock market has never been ideal for anyone. The study is based on the primary data to study investor behavior for rationality in financial decision making. In order to test the investor rationality, the factor analysis is used on the data collected through questionnaire filled by the investor for extracting the different behavior characteristics of investors. Some investors were given the questionnaire to fill out in personal and the data from some investors were collected through the e-mail. A total of 100 subjects were included in the survey selected randomly from different places as Rohtak, Sonepat and Jhajjar according to convenient approach. The survey instrument included 44 questions on the devise aspects of investor rationality for financial decision making. After collected the data through a five point scaled questionnaire, the scoring is done on the scale and the factor analysis was used to reduce the variables in fewer factors reflecting homogeneous characteristics variables.

Pages: 482-484 The purpose of the study was to investigate Occupational Burnout in relation to Psychological well being among the primary school teachers. The study consisted of a sample of 100 primary school teachers, which includes fifty teachers from the government schools and fifty from the non government or private schools between age range 25-40 years and with minimum 5 years of teaching experience. The participants were assessed using Maslach's Burnout Inventory (with its three dimensions that include emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment) and Psychological well being questionnaire (Ryff, 1995). The correlation analysis indicate that there was negative linear relationship between psychological well being and two dimensions of occupational burnout i.e. emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and a positive linear relationship with personal accomplishment.

Pages: 476-478 Anger and alienation are two areas of major concern in the current changing times marked by people living lives without feeling connected with their significant others, and exhibiting marked lowered frustration tolerance in reacting in social and familial interactions. It is important to tap the young adults so that appropriate help can be provided at the age when they are individuating and forming a stable personality. In contemporary times health has become an area of major concern and the most basic aspect for the same is the BMI. The current paper explores anger in relation to alienation and BMI, also referring to the socio-demographic variables. The research was performed by using standardized psychological measures on a sample of 70 individuals and the results obtained were analyzed using correlation, t-test and ANOVA. Anger and alienation were found to be highly positively correlated but gender differences and mediating effect of BMI was absent. Results and their implications are discussed in detail in the present paper. Pages: 476-478Harprit Kaur and Anu (Department of Psychology, Punjabi University, Patiala) |
Pages: 471-475 Educational Administrator or Head of an institution plays an important role in the effective functioning of an educational institution.

Pages: 467-470 The success of an organization depends greatly on its executives. The actions and decisions taken by an executive in any particular area of activity will have results which extend beyond that specific activity. A manager's effectiveness in his organizational role depends on his capability in managing men, money, materials, machines and moments. Taking into cognizance the changing business scenario, organizations have adopted a paradigm shift from management aspects to leadership aspects. The shift is from boss to coach, mentor and collaborator; from control and centralized authority to empowerment, commitment and delegation; from short-term to long-term vision; from forced change and compliance to innovation and creativity; from rules and regulations to shared values; from position, power and hierarchy to relationship power and networks; from departments to teams and task force; from blaming and isolating to collaborating and unifying; from schedules and numbers to quality and service; from inward and product-driven to outward and customer- driven. Stress management and leadership styles are parameters which are relevant to the productivity and resultant success of any company in any industry.

Pages: 463-466 The present study was designed to investigate the influence of the mood on the inhibitory control of consumers. The laboratory study was conducted; the data was collected from the 45 participants. The 23 participant were induced positive mood and 22 participants were induced the negative mood. On the basis of previous studies, the researcher hypothesised that participant in an induced positive group has less inhibitory control compared to the participant in an induced negative mood group. The researcher also theorised that in process of purchase decision making the participant tend to have less inhibitory control in purchase of low involvement products compared to the high involvement products. After inducing mood, the participant were asked to fill PANAS questionnaire and later they were asked to complete a modified version of the GO/NO GO task consisting pictures of 60 low and high involvement items and the error committed by the participant was recorded. A repeated-measures ANOVA was used to analyse the data obtained. The results showed that level of inhibitory control in positive mood is low compared to the negative mood. The result with regard to the low and high involvement item is quite interesting. The error of commission made in the high involvement series was significantly more than the error of commission made in low involvement items. Pages: 463-466Dhiksha J.

Pages: 460-462 The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between the phenomena of glass ceiling and the Big five personality factors among Female IT professionals. The study was conducted on 100 female executives from different companies in the IT sector and the Correlation research design was used for the purpose. Purposive sampling was conducted and the sample consisted of females between 30-50 years of age with a minimum of 5 years of association with the organization. Newly recruited employees were kept beyond the purview of the study. The NEO-PI scale by Costa and McCrae (1988) and Glass Ceiling Questionnaire by Ayesha Zaheer (2008) were administered to collect the data. The results of the study revealed a positive correlation between the personality traits of Neuroticism, Extraversion, Conscientiousness and the perception of Glass Ceiling, indicating the fact that women high on these traits will also be high on their perception towards the glass ceiling phenomena. On the Contrary, the personality traits of Openness to Experience and Agreeableness were found to be negatively correlated with Glass Ceiling Perception stating the fact that women who score low on these traits have a low perception towards the glass ceiling phenomena. The study contributes in the field of women empowerment and brings into light the perception of female workforce towards the barriers faced by them in the corporate sector. Through this study the organizations will get a better understanding of women employees in the whole new light of personality traits.

Pages: 455-459 Extensive reviews invariably suggest that organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) improves organizational effectiveness and it has become increasingly clear that effective management of human resource is critical for organization's sustained competitive edge. The IT industry is no exception. The Indian IT industry employs more than two million professionals and the number keeps increasing. The functions, culture, values and employer employee dynamics of IT industry is very different from the traditional organizations. Starting from Barnard in 1938 to till date many tools were developed in the West and some in India to measure the construct OCB. Reviews suggest that nature of Industry influences the OCB and using a measure developed in a traditional organizational context cannot capture the phenomena precisely in another industry. Hence, Industry specific measures are needed. But it is hard to find a tool to measure the OCB of IT professionals in India. The aim of the present study is to develop an OCB measure exclusively meant for the Indian IT professionals. The research process involved reviewing literature, choosing the dimensions of OCB, item generation, scale development and establishing the reliability and concurrent validity with the purpose to aid researchers and practitioners in the field of organizational behaviour.

Pages: 450-454 Sexual harassment at work place in India is `quite prevalent' but the victims refrain from lodging a complaint facing social disgrace and loss of work. Sexual harassment affects all women in some form or the other. Lewd remarks, touching, wolf-whistles looks are part of any woman's life so much that it is dismissed as normal. Working women most commonly face the backlash to women taking new roles, which belong to male domains within patriarchy. Sexual harassment of working women is an extension of violence in everyday life and is discriminatory, exploitative, thriving in atmosphere of threat, terror and reprisal. In 1997, the problem of Sexual Harassment was addressed by Supreme Court in Vishaka Case. The present paper attempts to explore working women's perception about sexual harassment, whether their understanding of sexual harassment coincides with Supreme Court's definition.

Pages: 446-449 Depression Anxiety and Stress scale (DASS) developed by Lovibond and Lovibond, 1995 is one of most widely used scale in clinical and nonclinical population in across the globe including India. DASS items reliably grouped in to depression, anxiety and stress subscale and have high reliability and validity. Present study was aimed to obtain reliability and validity of Hindi adaptation of Depression, Anxiety and Stress scale. Scale was translated by the bilingual experts followed by forward and back translation process final version was adopted for the study. A total 427 volunteers those who were bilingual included in the study. Hindi adaptation of DASS showed comparable reliability and validity score. Chronbach alpha for entire scale .83, factor loading ranged from .20 to .88 of Hindi version which was found comparable with original scale. The result demonstrate Hindi version of DASS reliable and valid instrument to use in clinical and nonclinical population. Hindi adaption of the DASS scale could be used in Indian clinical and non-clinical settings.
