This paper presents results of a study on the impact of organization type (foreign exposure) on the employees' perception of organizational health, stress, and organizational commitment by 244 employees drawn from information technology, financial services, railways, and manufacturing organizations. Results suggested that employees from railways perceived better organizational health and scored significantly higher on organizational commitment than their counterparts from other organizations. The results are discussed in the light of the differential impact of the global melt down on different sectors.

The present paper attempts to understand the role of gender congenial workplaces, as well as the role of gender of the agent and the target, in the perceived use of downward influence tactics. The researcher selected 40 organisations assumed to be gender congenial to females, and 40 organisations assumed to be gender congenial to males. Five employees reporting to a single leader, served as sample respondents from each organisation, making a total of 400 employee respondents for the study. The sample respondents were administered a questionnaire, comprising of demographic details, and a measure of downward influence tactics. Findings reveal significant differences in the perceived use of downward influence tactics between male- and female-congenial workplaces. Male and female employees significantly differ in their leader's perceived use of influence tactics. Also, male and female leaders are seen as differing significantly in their use of downward influence tactics.Keywords

Nurses have an important role to play in delivering patient care in contemporary hospital setting. They are the key caregivers in a hospital and they significantly influence the quality of care provided, treatment and patient outcomes. The nurses also interact with the patients, their relatives and act as buffers between the patients and the doctors. While providing care to the patient, nurses have to provide understanding oriented care to be effective. They act as social agents in the field of health. This requires them to have many self based resources to become effective in their job role. Important self based resources for nurses that have been studied are positive emotions, hope, optimism and self efficacy. Additionally, research on PsyCap and Burnout (Peng et al., 2013; Bitmisa & Ergeneli, 2015) reports the importance of PsyCap to fight burnout. However, their study suggests that a comprehensive research is required encompassing workplace emotions. The present study aims to understand the role of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) with relation to workplace emotions through work engagement (WE) and emotional labor (EL).Keywords
