Cognitive Appraisal of Organizational Change and Psychological Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Goal Congruence
Get PDFMost organizational change studies focus on the individual’s positive or negative reactions towards organizational change, yet there is a lack of understanding in existing literature as to the specific reasons behind individual’s positive or negative response. The purpose of the current study is to empirically examine the impact of individual cognitive appraisal of organizational change on their psychological wellbeing with goal congruence as a mediator between the relationship. The data consisted of a sample (N=191) and were collected from employees who worked for a large distribution firm of multinational products. Our findings suggest that the individuals who appraised their organizational change as a challenge also depicted positive impacts on their psychological wellbeing as mediated by goal congruence. On the other hand, where the individuals appraised organizational change as a hindrance/threat, it negatively impacted their psychological wellbeing. In the end future research directions and implications of the study have been discussed

It is the gateway to creating the sense and opportunities for PWDs by recognizing being as integral and potential human resources and a responsible segment of society. In addition to the lack of research and policies that have been formulated from time to time to emphasize the concept and importance of the Social Inclusion of PWDs’, the traditional response of the community towards PWDs has deterred the social inclusion of PWDs. The basic theme of this research study was to explore the efforts made by community members for the social inclusion of PWDs in the Community Care context.

Criminal Behaviour in the Context of Various Criminal Theories
Get PDFCriminal activity has been in society for as much as there has been mankind. Socioeconomic and sociocultural criminogenic factors both contribute to crime. The research of subcultures frequently replaces the study of criminals as a social type. The research on crime and the study of conduct are not synonymous. Attempts to discover the basic differences between crime and non-crime, considered as behavior, and between criminals and non-criminals, considered as different types of individuals, have yielded evidence that seems to undermine the very assumption upon which such attempts have been founded. The belief that there is a fundamental distinction between criminal and non-criminal activity is dubious.The majority of crimes go unreported and unrecorded. Any sample of presumed non-criminals is questionable due to research on self-reported offenses accessible to public and private groups but not the police, white collar crime, and factors connected to differential reported crime.The percentages are comparatively high for lower middle class, minority group, youthful, male, itinerant, and urban populations for the majority of offending categories. It is debatable if variances in behavior among various groups of individuals account for discrepancies in crime rates. Criminology may look into whether laws penalize actions that are typical of those with less authority but not those with more power. People progressively pick up the fundamentals of illegal behavior and disdain the law more and more. When someone is officially assigned to a certain delinquent stigma, they start to identify with the appropriate social group and act accordingly. The qualitative research methodology has been applied tothe following article

Realizing the Influence of Diverse Workforce on Leader Resilience: The Moderating Effect of Diversity Climate
Get PDFIt is generally thought that job-related diversity positively affects performance, whereas, bio-demographic diversity negatively affects performance. But various studies show controversial results, therefore, due to this inconsistency, we need to see the relationship between work-related diversity and its impact on various other variables like leader resilience and also test different moderators like diversity climate, etc. to see if the relationship strengthens or weakens. This study analyzed the impact of bio-demographic (gender and age) and job-related (functional) diversity on leader resilience, and whether diversity climate moderators this relationship or not.

There is no doubt that technical and vocational education is not only an integral part of secondary and post-secondary education, but it is also one of the most influential aspects of preparing individuals for their careers. 230 complete questionnaires were finalized out of 280 TVET students who participated in the survey and were analyzed using SPSS ver. 20 and SMART PLS in order to examine the validity and reliability of the constructs. Based on the results of the study, traditional training has a positive correlation with skill acquisition and self-employability. Skills acquisition and competency-based training are positively correlated. Similarly, competency-based training has a positive association with self-employability.
