Strategic human resource management (SHRM) or the so called high-performance work system (HPWS) have undoubtedly revolutionized the work scenario today, providing the competitive edge, higher productivity and profits to organizations which have adopted this system. But, the question worth investigating is whether the SHRM systems are equally benefiting the employees, or, are the employees being unduly taxed by the high work pressure and work-intensification leading to their job-dissatisfaction and poorer health? A growing research efforts focusing on this problem show controversial results, indicating innovative HRM policies as embodying 'mutual gains' for the employers and employees, or constituting more a vehicle for work-intensification and beneficial outcomes for the organizations alone. The present study is an attempt to the effect of HR policies and practices on employees' well-being in terms of job-satisfaction and physical health. The evidence is mixed. Findings support the both positive and negative effects of HR practices on employees' well-being.Keywords

COVID-19 poses several challenges to survival in the present era. Humans are in great trouble and fear. All activities are stopped. Public places closed, and exams were continuously postponed. Among these situations, students were left in uncertainty regarding their academic activities and future. Studies indicated that people with good positive mental health show a balanced view and appropriate responses in an adverse situation. The present study examined the student's anxiety levels and positive mental health. Questionnaires of a self-evaluation scale (Tripathy & Amber, 1983) and positive mental health inventory (Jagdish & Srivastava, 1983) were administered on 100 B.A./B.Sc. 1styear students. Results are obtained using correlation and multiple regression analyses that indicated positive mental health predicted anxiety among students. Findings revealed that students with poor positive mental health show a greater level of anxiety. Thus, improving mental health may be a helpful intervention in reducing the risk of developing psychological problems.Keywords
