Functions of police are to protect people and property of the nation. They assist in maintaining law and order in the community. There is limited empirical evidence focusing on value orientation of police. Therefore there is a gap to understand how far police values are in conformity with values of common people. Value is an enduring belief that has specific mode of conduct and end state of existence. Dutta Roy and Bandopadhay (2010) by analysis of the script of Reverend Rabindranath Tagore's songs identified 14 path and 14 goal oriented work values. The path-oriented values are instrumental to goal oriented values.This study has two objectives (a) to determine value hierarchy of police officers and (b) to determine extent of profile similarity between value orientation of police and the common people. Data were collected from 18 war returned senior rank police officers through Rabindrik value scale. The scale measures orientation to path and goal values. Results revealed value hierarchy of police officers. Police officers preferred self-understanding, cleanliness, active, self-awakening, and no work-family conflict values. With respect to goal oriented values, they preferred morefamily security, self-respect, positive feeling, inner harmony and peace. When compared with comparison group, results show high similarity in path orientation values than goal oriented values suggesting unique development of human values in the police officers. Finally, some suggestions like positive feeling, feedback and public-police interface were given to design value based training for the police officers.","PeriodicalId":130584,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organization and Human Behaviour","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132146249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The magnitude of the problem this segment faces is very intensive as a large number of them are women. They are victimised for multiple roles in the home and hospital. Stressors for nurses are always been identified with workload, dual role and pressures which are associated with demands of the existing working environment. The nature of illness/diseases a nurse dealing with has significant effects on the stress and mental health level. Healthcare professionals dealing with psychiatric illness and other chronic/traumatic conditions faces more stress while comparing to the other domains of healthcare. The present study is a cross sectional hospital based study carried out at four centres and 100 samples were collected by judgmental sampling method which consisted of 50 female nursing staff from general hospital and same number from psychiatric hospitals. A socio-demographic data sheet along with General Health Questionnaire was administered and those who have satisfactory health have been considered as further samples. Mental health, stress level, and attitude towards mental illness were analysed. The results shows that psychiatric nursing staff scored higher in overall occupational stress index and in the subs-domains of role overload, role ambiguity, role conflict, role unreasonable group and political pressure compared to general nursing staff. Also the mental health inventory total score is negatively correlated with role overload sub- domain of occupational stress index scale. Present study implicates the need of comprehensive psycho-social management plans for the professionals working in psychiatric hospitals.","PeriodicalId":130584,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organization and Human Behaviour","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127193709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is of great importance especially in 'people businesses' like software companies with relatively high people costs and low capital costs. Humans and the potential they possess drive an organisation. Today's organisations are continuously changing. Organisational change impacts not only the business but also its employees. In order to maximise organisational effectiveness, human potential-individuals' capabilities, time, and talents-must be managed. Human resource management works to ensure that employees are able to meet the organisation's goals by motivating them to do better continuously. Hence, proper treatment of the human resource-employees in an organisation should be given priority. Where an extensive range of HR policies exist and are well known, managers are provided with the tools, techniques and procedures to use in people management. These then can be expected to modify or influence the relationship between managers and their subordinates. Employee commitment to the organisation will be influenced by their perceptions of these practices as well as their relationship with their managers. They have been subjected to intense pressure to cut down costs while keeping the standards and quality of services high. In such a scenario, the stage is set for path-breaking reforms and candid innovation to keep both factors of production, that is, employees and employers satisfied. This paper discusses in detail the importance of innovative Human Resource Management techniques and practices that have deemed importance in the current economic scenario. It also discusses the importance and functions of a Human Resource Manager and the prudent steps that he/she can take in order to increase organisational effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":130584,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organization and Human Behaviour","volume":"10 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132285465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design/Methodology/Approach: As organisations face more globalised and fast paced competitive environment today than ever before, the need of the hour has become a concentrated effort by organisations to be innovative. Innovation has emerged as a mainstay of organisational sustenance and thus an empirical study was attempted at, to understand the relationships between innovation and demographic variables, if any. Literature review was done to generate a representative pool of factors influencing innovation. An accepted scale of innovation measurement seems to be missing especially in the Indian context. The study also aimed at understanding the efficacy of including demographic variables as an innovativeness measurement parameter in developing such a scale. Based on the literature review a questionnaire was designed that was used to collect the data. A 7-point Likert scale was used to capture the data on the statements pertaining to innovation. The type of data obtained through the questionnaire was quantitative. Random and judgemental sampling techniques were used to identify the respondent pool for study. The study tried to gauge interrelationship between innovation and employee age, gender and length of service. Based on the findings, the study concludes that age and length of service seem to have strong influences on the innovation potential while gender did not seem to have a very significant impact on innovation process and thus age and length of service can be included as influencing measurement parameter for innovativeness in any innovation scale development.","PeriodicalId":130584,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organization and Human Behaviour","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126280436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
