Organisational structure of any organisation plays an important role in keeping their employee performing. An organisational structure is always designed to meet the mandate of the organisation and the objectives that it is supposed to achieve. Keeping the above in mind, the task of organisational restructuring of EDB included studying the present organisational structure of the EDB and identifying the gaps, and proposing a proper organisational structure for the board along with proposing the roles and responsibilities of the divisions/ departments at EDB. A unique organisational model was used to help EDB structure their enterprise to create accountability for results and an environment for learning. The analysis provided useful implications for making planned congruent changes in structure of the EDB for developing more and more driving forces about ecotourism institution and reducing the strength of restraining forces at organisational, individual as well as at community level, since sustainability of the eco-tourism activities are also dependent upon the local people.Keywords

The case is prepared keeping management students, teachers and professionals in the mind and essentially deals with leadership issues bundled with other concepts like managerial roles, skills, functions, personality, business ethics, and interpersonal skills. Jindal Steel and Power Limited under Naveen Jindal earned continuous growth and also acquired 'aspired stature' among other plants working in the steel and power sector. The present case deals with Mr. Naveen Jindal's style of management who managed to get set one of the large but ailing steel plants amidst other roles as a parliamentarian at a very young age as Member of Parliament-cum-Managing Director of Jindal Steel and Power Limited. This case provides a glimpse of management concepts and theories that guide Jindal's way of working focusing on leadership and power concepts.
"IQ acts for only about 20% of a person's success in life. The balance can be attributed to EI1 or EQ." - Goleman
If one has to sketch an excelling Chief Executive Officer (CEO), what would be major ingredients? A work-life balance skewed in favour of work? All work and no play attitude? But what if, the person has to manage a balance between varied roles. Is it possible to excel in various fields altogether? The answer is affirmative in the case of Naveen Jindal.
Naveen Jindal, Executive Chairman and Managing Director (MD) of the INR13113 crore, Jindal Steel&Power Limited (JSPL) is success personified who manages all his roles; well, at least it seems so. Jindal is ranked as India's best CEO2dignified parliamentarian in the constituency of Kurukshetra, Haryana & a well-known sportsperson as well.

Though the field of stress has gained a lot importance in the last few decades, stress studies in the forestry sector are still on cross roads. Looking at the dearth of studies in the field of stress in forestry sector, this paper directs at reviewing the researches about the prevalent stress among the forest personnel. The study encompassed comprehensive review and analysis of physiological as well as psychological stress. A systematic review and meta-synthesis of stress studies was done. The studies met the eligibility criteria only if it had included stress as one of the measures directly or referred to the same indirectly in relation to measured variable in the article by last 50 years. A total of 19 studies/articles dealing with the stress among forestry staff were included in the present study. Both qualitative as well as quantitative analysis were incorporated in the study. The qualitative analysis was directed towards analysing the paper in terms of various methodologies adopted by the researchers and causes and effects of stress assessed. Further, quantitative analysis was conducted by assessing effect-sizes taking due consideration of methodological approach, source and practical significance of selected studies. The paper concludes with a note on importance and gap in stress related studies pertaining to forestry sector.Keywords

The paper proposes a framework of dharma (righteousness) to foster workplace/organisational spirituality. For instilling spirituality in employees that may translate into organisational/workplace spirituality, an ancient Indian text, that is, Hitopadesa, provides guidance in verse. The framework of dharma (righteousness) constructed, on the basis of a theoretically sampled verse of Hitopadesa, suggests four ethical values that could assist in sensing and experiencing one’s spirit in a relatively clearer form. This clear perception might assist in spiritual expression through work or in a workplace. The four values are: (1) sanyam (self-control); (2) satya (truthfulness); (3) sila (character); and (4) daya (compassion). The paper explicates the proposed dharma (righteousness) framework and suggests its implications for the mutual benefits of employees as well as for organisations.Keywords
