Puffer (1987) was among the first to officially examine the topic and labeled it as ‘‘noncompliant behavior.’’ Ball et al. (1994) continued the research inquiry with a set of ‘‘anti-citizenship’’ or objectionable behaviors, intended to contrast with Organ’s (1988) ‘‘organizational citizenship behavior,’’. A short time later, Vardi and Wiener (1996) studied deviance under the classification ‘‘organizational misbehavior,’’ and ‘‘workplace deviance’’ emerged as the dominant label that has been used in numerous studies (Bennett and Robinson 2000; Colbert et al. 2004; Dunlop and Lee 2004). Literature defines workplace deviance as ‘‘voluntary behavior of organizational members that violates significant organizational norms and, in so doing, threatens the well-being of the organization and/or its members’’ (Robinson and Bennett 1995).Deviance can also be positi...

In India there are seven million people suffering from chronic disabilities leaving them to live a life of dependence and insecurity. Fortunately, Corporate India is now stepping in to offer job opportunities to the physically disabled and give them a life of dignity.

Gender may be top of the agenda, but companies are addressing other issues too. Here is an...

It helps a person to be aware of one's own feelings and others feelings, to be able to differentiate among them and to use the information to guide one's thinking and behaviour. Most people associate stress with emotions of anger; fear, anxiety sadness and frustration. So it would seem logical to define stress in terms of an emotional experience. Stress is a consequence of interaction between an environmental Stimulus, called a stressor and individuals response, which is the emotional part. In this study we are dealing with the harmful effect of stress, which is generally known as distress. This study is an attempt to relate stress coping ability with EQ of employees. The positive effects of stress, the Eustress is also studied.

All forms of intellectual property have to be evaluated to mitigate the corporate risks in mergers and acquisitions (M & A). Due Diligence analysis is imperative for evaluating all aspects of a potential merger or acquisition. If a due diligence review is being conducted on behalf of the acquirer, the resource gathering procedure, including that relating to intellectual property, is a means of discovering as much as possible about the status of the acquiree. Intellectual property, especially patents, form the profits source in corporate transactions. This paper focuses on the patent due diligence in M & A and its mechanics and considerations.

Implementation of BPR brings along with it many changes within the organization. This study attempts to understand and validate the organizational climate factors for effective change management Though extensive research has been done worldwide, very few empirical studies have been carried out in India. The study is based on the various success / failure factors proposed by Al-Mashari. It is hoped that better understanding of the factors will lead to higher success rates of BPR implementation. The primary data was collected from the various manufacturing industries comprising of Small Scale , Medium scale , Large scale and Multi National Companies across India using structured self-administered questionnaire. Principal Component Analaysis (PCA) with varimax rotation using SPSS19.0 was carried out in order to verify the factors proposed on the basis of literature review with respect to Indian manufacturing Sector. Upon investigation it was observed that the factors were reduced to five without omitting the items and were renamed as Organizational Culture , Educations and training , Empowerment , Equitable Compensation and Team Work. Finally it was concluded that Proper identification and adequate understanding of the organizational climate factors fostering change adaptation becomes key ingredient for successful implementation of BPR effort.

Leaders will adopt different leadership styles based on various situations. This paper is based on “Tridimensional leadership effectiveness model” which on one hand focuses on basic, effective and ineffective leadership styles; and on the other hand maturity cycle of subordinates.

Analysis of the data reveals that there is no significant relationship between leadership style followed and structure of the organization and that leader adopt leadership styles based on the maturity level of the subordinates. Further, the style adaptability of leaders in mechanistic structure is more inclined towards ineffective leadership styles namely Autocrat, Missionary and Deserter; and the style adaptability of leaders in organic structure ...

and selection are the quintessential steps involved in staffing process. As a consequence of
globalization, organizations across the world witnessed robust growth and tremendous
expansion. This necessitated Indian auto-component firms to embrace e-technological tools with
their recruitment and selection practices so as to create a huge pool of talented workforce to
meet ever increasing demand. E-recruitment sources like intranet, job portals, company websites
and Social Networking Sites (SNS) have been playing a predominant role in alluring the
prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for the job and E- Selection techniques on
the other hand have simplified the process of selection and have made it highly effective. This
paper manifests the way in which auto-component firms have been leveraging e-technological
tools to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their recruitment practices by reducing- cost
and cycle time of recruitment and by increasing applicant volume. It also explores the
implications of e-recruitment on process consistency and auditability of recruitment practices.
