Organizational Behavior
No full textAn organization is a social entity that has a collective goal and is linked to an external environment. If a person wishes to work in an organization or to manage it, it is necessary to understand how it operates. An organization combines science and technology, people and humanity. Unless we have qualified people to design and implement, techniques alone will not produce desirable results. So the role of human resource is of great importance to perform the work effectively and efficiently. Organizations can be of various kinds- government or non-governmental organizations, international organizations, partnerships, co-operations, charities, universities and many more. The study of Organizational behavior in these organizations is very interesting and challenging too. It is related to individuals or group of people working together in teams. The study becomes more challenging when situational factors interact. The study of organizational behavior relates to the expected behavior of an individual in the organization.

Social Responsibility and the Owner Manager [A Study of SME Sector in Rajasthan]
No full textOver the last couple of decades small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) have become more important both numerically and economically. This paper seeks to identify the awareness level of socially responsible activities and the benefits observed and perceived by the SME owner/ managers engaged in such practices. It also helps us to investigate how socially responsible activities lead to sustainable development. Using structured questions face-to-face interviews were conducted with the owner managers of small and medium sized enterprises in Rajasthan. For many SME owner/managers, however, personal values rather than expected business benefits are the main driver for societal engagement. While these activities are often carried out on an ad hoc basis and are unrelated to business strategy, they demonstrate the truly ‘voluntary’ character of SME engagement. This paper aims to begin redressing this imbalance and presents the findings of an exploration into CSR in SMEs through interviews with the owner-managers of 123 SMEs across 6 divisional headquarters of Rajasthan.

No full text“Humanity has the ability to make development sustainable”.

And, is an ultimate solution for sustainable social development.In 1972, the then Prime Minister of India, Mrs. Indra Gandhi emphasized at UN Conference on Human Environment at Stockholm, that the removal of poverty is an integral part of the goal of an environmental strategy for the world. The concepts of inter-relatedness, of a shared planet of ‘global citizenship’, and of ‘spaceship earth’ cannot be restricted to environmental issues alone. They apply equally to the shared and interlinked responsibilities of environmental protection and human development. History has led to vast inequalities, leaving almost three fourth of the world’s people living in less-developed countries and one fourth below the poverty line. The long term impact of past industrialization, exploitation and environmental damage cannot be wished away. It is only right that development in this new century be even more conscious of its long term impact. The problems are complex and the choices difficult. Our common future can only be achieved with a better understanding of our common concerns and shared responsibilities.Any serious attempt and reducing poverty requires sustained economic growth in order to increase productivity and level of income in developing countries. Sustainable development requires not just for economic growth but also to environmental and social issues. More current estimates suggest that 2 billion people will be added to the world population over the next 30 years and another billion in the flowing 20 years. Virtually all of this increase will be in developing countries. In these countries 2.5 billion to 3 billion people now live less than $2 a day. The core challenge for development is to ensure productive work and a better quality of life for all these people. This, ultimately require substantial increase in productivity and incomes in developing countries

Though we consider the present masses as active , dynamic audiences, the subtle manner in which propaganda is carried out, cannot be controlled. So, what role does the fourth estate play with regards to the aftermath of a catastrophic event like the 9/11 attack of USA? And how do the masses react? It has often been observed that fear is spread like wildfire among the divergent media channels available to us. This fear is effectively used to target the communities to which the perpetrators belonged to. These communities are often unfortunately labelled as breeder’s of violence by media. This research paper aims to understand the extent to which this labelling has created a negative opinion among the masses about such communities. A survey will be conducted to measure the negative opinion generated towards certain communities post the 9/11 attack of USA and the 26/11 attack of Mumbai. The research aims to prove the hypothesis that catastrophic events act as triggers towards creating a negative opinion about certain groups of people.The labelling theory by Howard Becker will be used as theoretical framework
