Employee engagement has been hotly debated among academics, practitioners and consultants, with each of them giving their own definitions of the concept. Though the consultants and the business press have carried out many studies, little is known about the antecedents and consequences of the concept in the academic literature. The construct of employee engagement is still evolving, and it is widely recognized that engaged employees do not quit the organization easily. It is also clear that some emotional and social competencies of employees have a significant positive relationship with employee engagement. This paper attempts to examine the role of employee engagement as a mediating variable in the relationship between employees' emotional and social competencies and their intention to quit. © Serials Publications.

The role of employee engagement in the relationship between emotional and social competencies and employee intent to quit: A conceptual perspective

Wurtzite type AlN thin films were grown on Si (100) substrates at substrate temperatures (S.T.) varying from RT to 600 °C using DC reactive magnetron sputtering by keeping the parameters such as Ar/N 2 , power and target to substrate distance (TSD) constant. Evolution of preferred orientation of the deposited films was studied by GIXRD and a-axis orientation was observed at 400 °C. The residual stress measurement of these films was carried out by sin 2 ψ technique and they varied from tensile to compressive (R.T. to 600 °C). Highest hardness (H IT ) was observed for 400 °C as 20 GPa, whereas highest modulus was observed for 600 °C as 264 GPa. © 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

Growth and characterization of highly oriented AlN films by DC reactive sputtering

There are several studies in the field of Stress management suggests that Stress is supposed to be very high among prison population. This is an attempt at reviewing the stress and the psychiatric problems associated with it in general, using Prison environment as the context of the paper. Aim: This paper tries to study the effects that prison environment has on its occupants, mainly focusing on inmates of the prison. Objective: To study various seminal literatures on Prison environment across the world and to find a common ground among them Design/Method/Approach: The paper is mainly theoretical in perspective using various literatures from prison environment as its context. Hence we have used literature survey method as our preferred research methodology. Results and Findings: From the reviews of diverse literature on the field of correctional facilities suggests that prison environment does plays a significant role in the development of stress and psychiatric problems among prison inmates. This is further discussed in the concluding part of this paper. © 2015, Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational Research. All rights reserved.

A Critical Review on Role of Prison Environment on Stress and Psychiatric Problems among Prisoners

AIM: The present study aimed to examine the effect of nature of job (High risk/low risk) on psychiatric problems of 200 workers of Tata Motors Ltd. in Jamshedpur. The workers/participants were divided on the basis of the nature of their job (high/low risk) and their salary (high/low paid) resulting in four sub-groups with 50 participants respectively s. METHODS: The Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire (M.H.Q) constructed by Crown and Crisp (1966) and adapted in Hindi by Srivastava and Bhat in 1974 was administered on the participants. RESULTS: Results clearly indicated that nature of job (high and low risk) played a significant role in creating psychiatric problems in workers. Workers doing high risk jobs showed a greater amount of psychiatric problems compared to workers doing low risk jobs in both high paid and low paid categories. Psychiatric problems included free-floating anxiety, obsessional traits and symptoms, phobic anxiety, somatic concomitants of anxiety, neurotic depression, and hysterical personality traits were seen more in high risk job workers. CONCLUSIONS: High risk job workers had significantly higher psychiatric problems compared to low risk job workers.

Nature of Job and Psychiatric Problems: The Experiences of Industrial Workers

The current study aimed to examine the effect of salary (High and low) on psychiatric problems of 200 workers of Tata Motors Ltd, Jamshedpur. These workers were divided on the basis of salary (high/low paid) and nature of job (high/low risk). Thus, there were four sub-groups and in each sub-group there were 50 cases. Methods: The Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire (M.H.Q) constructed by Crown &amp; Crisp, (1966) and adapted in Hindi by O.N. Srivastava and V.K. Bhat in 1974 was administered on these 200 workers. Results: Results clearly indicated that salary (high and low) played a significant role in creating psychiatric problems in workers. Workers doing low paid jobs showed more psychiatric problems compared to workers doing high paid jobs in both high risk and low risk categories. The symptoms like free-floating anxiety, obsession traits and symptoms, phobic anxiety, somatic concomitants of anxiety, neurotic depression, and hysterical personality traits were found stronger in low paid in comparison to high paid industrial workers. Conclusion: Low paid job workers had significantly more psychiatric problems compared to high paid job workers.
