Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between proactive personality (PP), goal orientation (GO), meta-skills and the underlying dimensions of protean (self-directed and value-driven) and boundaryless (boundaryless mobility and mobility preference) career attitudes among Indian IT professionals.
Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected from 600 IT professionals working in six IT companies in the Delhi-NCR (National Capital Region) in India. Structural equation modeling was used to validate the measures of the selected constructs and for testing the hypothesis.
Findings
The results of the study revealed that PP significantly affects individuals’ protean and boundaryless career attitudes. Moreover, GO significantly affects protean career attitudes, and meta-skill significantly affects boundaryless mobility, respectively.
Practical implications
The study serves as a guide for the HR managers to devise the company’s strategies keeping in mind the employees’ requirements in parallel with the policies for IT industries in India.
Originality/value
The study enriches the protean and boundaryless career literature by identifying and empirically establishing the relationship between various personality traits and career patterns opted in the context of the Indian IT industry.
Protean and boundaryless careers have emerged as new ways of handling careers in organizations. This concept is gaining a significant place in career studies. In line with this, the current study examines the relationship between the underlying dimensions of protean (self-direction and value-driven), boundaryless (boundaryless mindset (BM)) and mobility preference (MP) career attitudes and organizational commitment (OC) (affective, normative and continuance). Organizational commitment is important for all kinds of organizations. For data collection, 600 IT professionals employed in different organizations in the Delhi-NCR region of India were approached. Descriptive statistics, correlation and structural equation modeling (SEM) were utilized to validate the research outcomes and test hypotheses. Prior literature studies focusing on the effects of protean and boundaryless career attitudes on organizational commitment have not been much explored. The current study suggests that mobility preference has a significant contribution towards individuals’ continued commitment to the employing organization. Other variables assert an insignificant relationship with organizational commitment. These results demonstrate how decision-makers and managers should proceed to design a blueprint for the education of employees in conjunction with the underlying dimensions of protean, boundaryless and mobility preferences, career attitudes and organizational commitment (OC).
The present study is laid out to know the impact of independent variable education on the dependent variables of customer satisfaction in mobile banking and factors responsible for such risks in the selected banks and to suggest measures for improving risk solutions. ANOVA are used to test the hypotheses and validate the results. The analysis is in conformity with the objectives of the study and the hypotheses formulated. The collected data are analyzed through SPSS 22 version. Findings include there is a significant difference in average agreement on customer satisfaction in mobile banking in mobile banking among the different edification. It is also observed that graduate respondents have greater agreement on infrastructure risk than post graduate. Graduates can be used to teach mobile banking to the society. Further mobile banking is suggested to be a part of graduate level course curriculum.
This research paper analyzes the effect of workplace spirituality (WPS) on work satisfaction (WS). Further meditating effect of job involvement was examined between WPS and WS. For this study, a sample of 215 respondents from MSMEs situated in Delhi & NCR have been collected. The hypothesized model used in the study has been validated using structural equation modeling. Where relations among constructs such as WPS, WS, and JI are validated. Meditation analysis was done using PROCESS Macro in this study. The study results indicate that there is a relationship between WPS and WS. It was evident from the study results that the variables (meaningful work, sense of community, and alignment of values) of WPS are positively associated with job involvement. Furthermore, it was evident from the study's outcome that job involvement has a partial mediating effect between WPS and WS. The study's findings suggest workplace spirituality is an essential aspect of improving job involvement among employees. It is recommended to the managers in MSMEs to emphasize on the practices of workplace spirituality among employees for the desired outcome. This study contributes to the body of knowledge related with workplace spirituality in an organization.
The objective of this study is to identify the issues affiliated institutions faced during the effective implementation of outcome-based education (OBE). The literature from both empirical and conceptual papers has been taken in order to derive out the challenges before and during the implementation phase of OBE. Evident gaps in the initial phase of implementation were identified. Affiliated institutions faced many challenges in the way of OBE implementation. Lack of resources and inability to adopt change have become major hurdles on the way to OBE implementation. The present study is conducted on Affiliated Management Institute. The same can be replicated for other disciplines as well. The structured projected in the study will guide the management institutions in elevating their quality level.
The purpose of this study is to develop a MSME business facilitator index (MSME-BFI) to investigate the major factors which lead to the growth and development of MSMEs in the top performing and poor performing states of India. The data for various parameter for estimating the index such as infrastructure (road and electricity), human resources (labour participation rate and literacy rate), information communication uses (computer and internet), fiscal discipline and other economic indicators is collected from different government surveys and reports. The study revealed that states should focus on labour force, infrastructure, ICT technology, credit facilities, financial management and economic governance for the growth of MSME’s. There exist major disparities in the performance of the MSMEs, when divided into top performing and poor performing states, respectively. The research helps policymakers and government to focus on the leading barriers/factors which lagged the states to achieve the higher economic development.
