Old age is seen as a time when elderly engage in the spirituality to find existential meaning of life, transcend beyond the boundaries of self to realize connection with the larger universe and also to come to terms with death. In this context, the present research aims to understand the development of spirituality from the middle age through the old age. The study also examines the gender differences in spirituality. For this purpose three age cohorts: middle aged (40-45 years), young old (60-65 years) and oldest old (80 years and above) were chosen to assess spiritual development with age. The sample of 171 respondents (95 males and 76 females) were administered Daily Spiritual Experience scale (Underwood, 2006). Two-way factorial ANOVA was computed to examine age and gender differences in spirituality (daily spiritual experiences and perceived closeness to God). The results indicated that spirituality increased consistently with increasing age as middle aged were lowest on daily spiritual experiences and perceived closeness to God and the oldest old respondents were highest on these dimensions. A significant gender and age interaction was observed wherein middle aged females experienced more daily spiritual experiences as compared to middle aged males. This significant difference disappeared with age. The results are discussed in light of recent research and implications of the research are suggested.Keywords

The present research aims to examine the relationship between spirituality (daily spiritual experiences&perceived closeness to God) and well being (life satisfaction, self esteem&quality of life). The sample consisted of 171 participants from Delhi NCR region aged between 45 to 89 years. Pearson product moment correlation was used to investigate relationship among the study variables. For predicting the effect of spirituality (daily spiritual experiences&perceived closeness to God) on well being of the participants, simple linear regression was used. The analysis showed that daily spiritual experiences and perceived closeness to God correlated positively and significantly with the total well being score and were significant predictors of well being. Perceived closeness to God was a stronger predictor of well being as compared to daily spiritual experiences. The results are discussed in light of existing research.Keywords

The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions postulated by Barbara L. Fredrickson proposes that emotions like joy, interest, contentment, and love enable an individual to broaden his/her patterns of thinking and acting, which in turn build the personal coping resources, whether intellectual, physical, social, or psychological, by way of creating novel ideas, actions or social relationships. This paper is a review of 15 empirical studies carried out during 1998-2012 that support the contributions of this theory to the creation of a healthy workplace by fostering positive emotions in employees. Positive emotions were found to be pivotal in enhancing employee performance, encouraging innovation and creativity that result in sustainable business practices, helping organisations make good decisions, facilitating work-flow and motivation, developing authentic and charismatic leadership styles, job enrichment, better team performance, and satisfactory customer relations. A link between positive emotions and an upward spiral of personal and organisational resources has also been established where positive self-evaluation, development of resilience, a climate of social support, layout of clearer goals, high quality social-interaction, good health and productivity of workers have been found to promote effective coping.Keywords

Emotional Intelligence, as a field of study, has both proponents as well as opponents. Some researchers strongly support it while others simply reject it. The researchers, who support Emotional Intelligence, argue that it is important to be emotionally intelligent because it has direct impact in both personal as well as professional life. However, researchers who do not support it have criticised it in terms of its role, scientific validity and validity of the measurement scales. The paper, based on review of literature, throws light on arguments, both for and against Emotional Intelligence, its importance in organizations like job performance, job satisfaction, interpersonal relationships, negotiation, organisational commitment, employee engagement, leadership, organisation citizenship behaviour etc., and its importance for managers.Keywords

In the global scenario, the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector is one of the fast growing sectors after the liberalisation, privatisation, and globalisation, to increase job opportunities day by day. The present study examines the relationship between the workplace stress, well-being, and quality of life. It also aims to investigate the differences between day and night shift workers, males and females, and married and unmarried employees working in BPO sector with respect to experienced workplace stress, well-being and quality of life. In the present study, 120 employees were selected from the different business process companies. The analysis revealed that organisational role stress is significantly correlated with sociability. And, quality of work life was significantly correlated with well-being. However, the difference in gender was found on organisational role stress and some of its dimensions, as well as on quality of work life. Succinctly, married and unmarried employees differed on dimensions of well-being. As far as, shift timings are concerned, day shift employees were found to differ significantly from night shift employees on organisational role stress and its few dimensions, as well as on quality of work life. From the findings of the study, it has been understood that the gender differences, marital status difference, and difference in shift timings have made an impact on the variables such as workplace stress, quality of work life, and wellbeing of BPO employees.Keywords

Knowledge hiding is a new construct in organizational research. Knowledge hiding assumes significance in the context of the "knowledge workers," a term coined by Drucker who predicted employees' knowledge to be the most important asset of any organization in the 21st century. However, the organization has no ownership over the intellectual assets of its employees. Thus, it cannot compel them to transfer their knowledge to other organizational members. Thus, the present research examines relationship between knowledge hiding behaviour and individual factors (personality, Machiavellianism, psychological ownership of knowledge), attitude/ behaviour resulting from organizational membership (organizational commitment & organizational citizenship behaviour) and organizational climate (openness, collaboration & trust) in IT organizations. For this study, data 150 IT was collected from employees through a non-random purposive sampling. Correlational results show that all organizational climate factors, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behaviour and personality dimensions (conscientiousness, agreeableness & openness to experience) share a negative relationship with knowledge hiding. However, some individual factors such as Machiavellianism and psychological ownership of knowledge share a positive relationship with knowledge hiding behaviour. Regression model shows that 61% variance in knowledge hiding is explained by the predictor model [F = 56.85 (DF Between = 142, DF within = 149) =, p<.000]. Limitations are small sample size, unequal gender participation, non-random sampling method, and use of self-report data. Findings can help practitioners develop intervention for curbing knowledge hiding and improving knowledge management.Keywords

Research in Human Resource Management has proved that high growth organisations face greater challenge in HR management compared to organisations which are slow in growth. With the service sector gradually emerging as fastest growing sector, it provides challenge to the organisations providing services. Though the challenge remains there for all the sectors providing services, it poses greater challenge to the healthcare sector since the health care professionals have to work round the clock and in stressful conditions in patient care in hospitals. Hence to ensure patient satisfaction, it is important for the organisations to ensure extra role behaviours from employees which can be possible when employees feel an emotional attachment to the organisation through perceived organisational support, besides other factors. The study examines the relationship between Perceived Organisational Support on Organisational Citizenship Behaviour on Health Care and Cure Professionals.

As Henry Brooks Admans rightly said, “Teachers affect eternity; no one can tell where their influence stops”. Teachers are indeed one of the most important factors in developing the human resource of a nation. The present research was based on the dispositional approach to understanding job satisfaction and aimed at studying the job satisfaction and personality of primary school teachers. Job Satisfaction Survey (Spector, 1985) and NEO FFI (McCrae & Costa, 1978) were used for data collection. The sample was teachers, teaching classes pre-nursery to 3rd standard, from schools in Delhi (n1=57) and Rohtak (n2=47). The findings revealed that there is a significant positive correlation between job satisfaction and extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Neuroticism had a significant negative correlation with job satisfaction, whereas openness to experience did not have any significant relationship. Using hierarchical regression analysis, a model was proposed that suggests 40% of the variance in job satisfaction is accounted for by the demographic variables, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.Keywords
