Sexual harassment is a behaviour with a sexual connotation that is abusive, injurious and unwelcome. It places the victim in an environment of intimidation, humiliation and hostility. Sexual harassment is extremely widespread and can be highly damaging and distressful for women especially at workplace. Sexual harassment cases have made news headlines in nation with the Supreme Court coming up with Vishaka guidelines and State as a custodian of the Constitution bringing in the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013, on one side while harassers continuing with their ‘acts and advances ’on the other. Along with the introduction of the Act, relevant changes were introduced in Criminal Procedure Code and Indian Penal Code through Criminal Law Amendment Act, 2013 to widen the scope of punishment of offence of sexual harassment. The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013 further clarified organisations that were included within the scope of the Act as well as provided for time bound and speedy enquiry provisions. The rules that came on 9 December, 2013 gave clarity regarding the manner in which complaints had to be filed, constitution of Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) and its role & powers and people who were competent to be members of ICC. Also, Act provided for time frame within which enquiry report had to be handed over along with the time limit within which enquiry report had to be implemented by the employer. Sexual harassment takes place in a relationship when such relationship is unequal in power, and abuse of such power is done by the superior employee with the subordinate who becomes victim. Human resource (HR) professionals need to play a key role, first, to create an environment where healthy relationship may be maintained between superior males and subordinate female's, and second, to create retaliation free work environment in organisations when such complaints are made. The paper discusses the recently constituted Act, Amendments made as well as relevant case laws along with the role that HR professionals need to play to ensure creation of gender sensitisation within the organisation, zero tolerance towards sexual harassment reporting and creation of a healthy, positive and hostile free work environment.","PeriodicalId":184815,"journal":{"name":"LBS Journal of Management & Research","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126225067","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}

It is argued that inflation affects growth adversely only after it crosses a certain threshold level. Below the threshold level and up to an optimum level of inflation, it has favourable and positive impact on growth. Thus, attainment of reasonable level of stable inflation rate that may differ from country to country, depending upon different priorities at different stages of development, is the prime objective of monetary policy worldwide. In this paper, attempt has been made to determine the threshold level of inflation for the Indian economy using quarterly data from 2004–2005 to 2012–2013. Three methods have been used to analyse the threshold level of inflation: spline regression, vector autoregression and non-linear regression. The threshold level of inflation using non-linear regression (cubic polynomial fit) has been concluded to be at 7.7%. The results of this study are in contrast to most of the previous studies which have prescribed the same to be ranging between 5–7%.","PeriodicalId":184815,"journal":{"name":"LBS Journal of Management & Research","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130167722","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 sample consisted of 185 managers working in the banking sector from Haryana, Delhi and National Capital NCR regions. Besides, standardised questionnaires were taken as base and the statements were modified as per the requirement of the research. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were applied to test the eight hypotheses of the study. Results showed that the employees do form a perception of OJ and that perception influences the OCB and job behaviour at the workplace. Partial relationships are found between dimensions of OCB and perception of OJ; OJ and job behaviours; and OCB and job satisfaction. The theoretical and operational implications of the results are discussed in the paper. The study is limited to the perception and job behaviours of Indian banking employees. The paper examines the above links for the first time in the Indian banking sector.","PeriodicalId":184815,"journal":{"name":"LBS Journal of Management & Research","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134273253","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}

It brings to surface the issues and problems faced in ironing them out and working towards a new system. The article focusses on what should be the quintessential parameters of such a system, how loopholes can be plugged. The vast history of issues confronted in Indian Financial Legislative System has been brought out verywell. Selection ofregulators’ board, functioning ofboard, accountability of regulators, composition of the board; performance assessment and reporting have been dealt with at length. Taking a holistic view of the scenario, the paper also talks about; types of protection to the consumer. The hallmark of the paper is the way it deals with the reason and rationale, the argument for each legislation.","PeriodicalId":184815,"journal":{"name":"LBS Journal of Management & Research","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124331651","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}
