The purpose of this paper was to explore the role of occupational stress in somatic health complaints among executives in public sector organizations. Somatic health complaints lead to disability, absenteeism, job loss and subsequent unemployment in the organizations. The present study was conducted on 210 executives and results revealed that occupational stress (total), role overload, role ambiguity, and role conflict (dimensions of occupational stress) were significantly positively correlated with somatic health complaints. The results of simple regression analysis showed that occupational stress predicted significantly somatic health complaints while results of step wise regression analysis showed that role conflict (dimension of occupational stress) emerged as significant predictors to influence the somatic complaints. The findings of this study will help in reducing the somatic health complaints through considering the role of the present predictor so that organizations will achieve their goals.Keywords

The purpose of this paper is to explore the psychometric properties of the newly developed questionnaire related to mental health of adults. Mental health is a global concept which includes the wellness of the individuals at psychological, emotional and social level. This questionnaire consists of twenty items related to life satisfaction, psychological well-being, psychological distress, and positive orientation towards self. The sample comprises of 350 students of Banaras Hindu University engaged in higher studies. The results of reliability analysis indicate that Cronbach's α = .826 after deleting the one item from the scale. The reliability is statistically acceptable for newly developed scale. Results of the exploratory factor analysis indicate that these nineteen items are loaded on four factors (life satisfaction, psychological well-being, psychological distress, and positive orientation) and these four factors explain65.08% of total variance in mental health construct. The items of this questionnaire are framed in such manner that this questionnaire can be also useful in assessing the mental health of all normal adult population.Keywords

This paper presents the development and validation process of a new scale for assessing work group climate in organizational setting. Every organization and every workgroup has a climate. Climate is the environment in which people work that affects how people behave at work. Workgroups with a positive, supportive climate tend to perform well and achieve their desired results. To assess the work group climate a scale was developed which consists of 21 items before standardization. In this scale participants have to give responses based on self-perception about climate of their group. Sample of 215 employees working in different private sector organizations were selected for the standardization of this scale. The reliability index was ascertained by computing Cronbach's alpha coefficient which was found to be 0.867 for this scale. Based on corrected item-total correlation, 5 items were excluded. Results of factor analysis (Principal Component Analysis with Varimax Rotation) indicate that three component solutions were formed suitable to the scale. 1 item was excluded due to cross loadings and 15 remaining items are retained from the original scale. This scale has good reliability index and satisfactory construct validity. It could be a useful tool for work group climate in organizational setting.Keywords

Globalization is an emerging trend in modern society. It has greatly affected every sphere of life all around the world. The present study concentrated to analyze the socio-economic effects of globalization on the working women in India. Its current wave has widely improved the lives of women worldwide, particularly the lives of those women working in the developing countries. But in spite of that women remain disadvantaged in many areas of life, including education, employment, health, and civil rights. Mostly women are working as unskilled labour. The major objective of this review paper is to find out the true impact of globalization on women's socio-economic position and their participation in different economic activities.Keywords

Generally, human life is not going on a straight way. It runs on a zig-zag line. If a person feels good today, it is not necessary to be happy tomorrow also. In searching of better solutions, facing these small and big problems, and making adjustment with current situations and environment, a person feels stress more or less. People often have too many demands placed on their time, are worried about uncertain futures and have little time for family and fun. Stress affects us at home, work, and even on holidays. It is also listened often that everyone should learn to “deal” or “cope” with stress in our life. Although a lot of stress models described illustrate how many different viewpoints there are of work stress, and show how complex these processes may be, a more comprehensive model of work stress has been suggested in this paper. This model gives an overview of how changes in the nature of many work environments have led to increase in workplace stress, and how it may be implicated in many stress-related physical and psychological problems. Many existing models suffer from being either narrow in scope or lacking a role for individual differences, and lacking in predictive validity. This model adds a new dimension to think again about the workplace stress which has now become a common phenomenon among the employees. Every organism faces challenges from its external environment and from its personal needs. The organism must solve these problems to survive and thrive. In such a complex and competitive job environment, to find proper solutions or skills to cope with workplace stress, an employee would first need to understand the nature and whole process of workplace stress and this model would be more helpful to understand the work stress, its nature and whole process including an important role of individual capacity which exists in every stage, so that the better psychological therapies and medicinal treatments may be discovered in future to help such several employees to improve their health in the interest of the concerned organizations because employees are considered as backbone of any organization for development.Keywords
