The situation has forced us to build virtual alliances and e-learning system which never happened before to fill the formal learning void. Many colleges and universities are relying on tailor-made and existing online courses from other institutions to ensure academic continuity for students. In this reference, this paper tends to explore the changing trends in Higher Education due to the massification of online courses called Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in India. Also the study highlights the comparison between students remote learning and online learning from parents perspective. For this purpose data is collected via both open and closed ended questionnaire and is statistically analysed. The findings reveals that MOOCs and online education have certainly breached the presential learning regulations and acts as a catalyst for higher education reform by offering an array of opportunities and competencies at a relatively low cost. However, they are nowhere close to replacing face to face instructor led learning. The study recommends that online education can be seen as a step in the right direction towards democratizing education but cannot be a cure for all the global education problems or a replacement for campus-based learning. The insights from this study can be helpful in developing a blended system of learning which brings in positive energy and supports teachers, students and professionals learning towards sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":46518,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF INFORMATION & OPTIMIZATION SCIENCES","volume":"43 1","pages":"1665 - 1678"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43457650","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 affects unique humans differently due to how they think consciously. Unconsciously, making choices depends on what they see and listen to and do after feeling it. The study hypothesis is that an organization’s organizational tradition can envisage women employees’ job satisfaction. The significant shape of culture changed into domination, solidity and the rule of thumb of law. Most women employees would like to be in friendly surroundings wherein they agree, illicit relationships between colleagues succeed, private pursuits are considered, and crew work is rewarded. Ensuring the properly-being of personnel will enhance their productivity and productiveness and make businesses, organizations and corporations more viable, particularly in instances of economic emergency.

With growing competition and demand, IT professionals are always at the edge to showcase performance. The present study discusses the issue by utilizing the dimension of competency from the Iceberg model, the commitment model by Allen & Meyer (1990). The study sought to ascertain the influence of competency on employee performance and commitment, as well as the function of commitment in mediating the relationship between competency and employee performance. A standardised questionnaire was created and disseminated to software company workers for this purpose. A total of 242 valid responses were collected from IT companies. SEM was employed to examine the association between the variables analysed as well as the hypothesis. The analysis concluded that the dimension of competence (knowledge, skills, and work attitude) positively impacts employee performance and commitment with (β = 0.57, 0.5, 0.48, 0.37, 0.41, 0.36) with p<0.05, indicating the acceptance of the hypothesis H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 & H6. Also, employee commitment had the highest impact on employee performance at β =0.76, p=.000, CR =6.21. Hypothesis H7 is accepted and concluded that employee commitment acts and serves as a mediator between employee performance and employee competency.

As deposits constitute major share of bank funds and are raised from public at large, it is imperative that banks maintain adequate capital funds with capital adequacy ratio (CAR) to ensure security of deposits and confidence of population in banking structure. In addition to deposits, banks also employ borrowings to generate business funds. Capital in banks symbolizes the soundness and resilience of banks being a cushion against potential losses. When asset quality deteriorates due to environmental or business factors, capital comes to rescue to absorb losses. This saves the liability components of deposits and borrowing provided capital has enough absorption capacity measured in relation to riskiness of assets. This capacity is measured by Capital to Risk Weighted Assets ratio, a proportion of capital funds to risk adjusted assets. The objective of study is to examine the association which exists between CAR and how it is impacted by other two elements neighbouring it in the liability side of bank balance sheet viz. share of deposit in total liabilities and share of borrowing in total liabilities. Forty Indian banks have been included in study, twenty each from category of Government owned public banks and banks in the private sector. The study has shown that the percentage share of deposit has negative relationship with CAR and so depositors have to be wary of the availability of requisite capital in banks’ books to guarantee their safety. The share of borrowing has, however, opposite effect. The results are of significance for bank management.","PeriodicalId":46518,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF INFORMATION & OPTIMIZATION SCIENCES","volume":"43 1","pages":"1623 - 1634"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42502852","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}
