Abstract

This paper examines the issues associated with the work-life balance of women faculty members in an autonomous engineering college. The work, using various statistical techniques (anova, ttests, correlation and regression), conducts two types of analyses viz. basic, which deals with the analysis of WLB issues; and composite, which deals with the evaluation of predicted antecedents and consequence of WLB. The study also identifies that the WLB of 'married without children' respondents is inferior to that of 'unmarried' respondents.

Abstract

HRD system in a bank should be capable of aligning employees' attitudes, skills and knowledge with the changing nature of work as well as growing expectations of the customers. This paper provides a comparative picture of HRD climate in Indian premier public and private sector commercial banks. Analysis indicates significant HRD climate differences, particularly concerning HRD mechanisms. Findings suggest banks to regularly conduct and correlate 'HRD climate' and 'customer satisfaction' surveys to improve the quality of HRD climate and thereby services to customers. The study concludes that HRD climate should be conducive for the development of human resources and imbibe both professional and personal values.

Abstract

This study evaluates service quality perceptions of two groups of students engaged in management education. It identifies the most influential characteristics as quality of lectures, quality of seminars, knowledge and experience of academic staff and career services. The least influential characteristics are: willingness of the academic staff to provide individual attention and physical appearance of the institution. Importance- Performance Matrix of the first year recognizes all 24 characteristics as areas to maintain while that of the final year indicates the quality of seminars, social opportunities, careers service, internal student feedback system, etc. as areas to be improved.

Abstract

Commercial banks in India cater to the banking needs of the people living in both urban and rural areas. They can deliver quality financial services to their customers only through quality human resources. Hence, they should strive to achieve consistency in the quality of HRD climate in different units, which strongly reinforces the performance and productivity of their employees. This study attempts to examine HRD climate variations between urban and rural branches/offices of selected banks. Survey results indicate non-existence of overall HRD climate differences. However, the study uncovers certain individual HRD issues in the two categories of banks.
