The basic objective of this paper is to understand the key compensation and benefits trends across sectors in the Indian private market along with the fluctuations in the projected scenario and that of the actual environment. There is no to less number of studies which explains the trends of the compensation policy that is been prevailing in different industries and at different levels of the management which is acting as a gap which can be bridged through this study as it fills the gap of unawareness prevailing among the minds of the employees and the students. This study suggests that for the purpose of retaining the existing employees of the companies and to attract outlying talented people, the managers are increasing the level of annual increment rate and the annual variable pay rate. The insurance policy that is been provided by the employer during the years is showing that the companies are now focusing on the retention of the existing employees and also these things will att...

The significance accorded to the amorphous concept of Academic Performance of students is immense, owing to the mere reason that better performances academically set the prospect for the better future of any nation. Likewise, understanding the integrities of the concept holds a great connotation. The current paper aims to present a review of the various definitions of "academic performance" along with the factors perceived to have an effect on the academic performance of students belonging to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Additionally, an effort has also been made to gain an insight into the reliability of "Grade Point Average" (GPA) as a method for measuring academic performance.

Increasing urbanization and rapid increase of the population in urban areas has led to varied issues, to which rendering the cities as a “smart” one has been identified as a solution. The sole motive behind the intent to come up with smart cities is to incorporate technological impulses into the usual routine chores of people in a particular area, so as to enhance the living standards as well. But there is a gap regarding considering environmental preservation as an indicator of achieving sustainability in the smart city concept. Beyond the current versions of technologies utilized, Artificial Intelligence (AI), is apparently the most promising recent advancement of ICT, which can deliver the motive of sustainable development through the advent of future smart cities. AI applications can actually transform the way civilizations respond to threats of varying degrees. This paper is an effort to showcase in a combined manner, the AI based solutions, aimed at smartifying the smart citie...

Studies of the roles and responsibilities associated with stress in working women in IT(information technology) and information technology enabled services have implicated multiple and conflicting demands which might not be without some resultant effects. However, little research has been conducted on these role demand factors in Indian context to determine how these might impact the women employees' performance due to the comprehensive economic changes along with the change in the social and demographic structure of the society and family. There is need for evidence-based empirical findings to facilitate improvement in information technology and information technology enabled services. IT BPM industry revenues in India (excluding hardware) is estimated at around US$ 130 billion in FY 2015-16 and is estimated to be at US$ 154 billion in FY 2016-17. The domestic revenue of the IT industry is estimated at US$ 38 billion and export revenue is estimated at US$ 117 billion in FY17. C...

India has been galloping swiftly towards the attainment of developmental goals in all the spheres which has led to the coexistence of the perils consequent to the developmental strategies. One of such issues is the massive generation of ''electronic waste" (henceforth e-waste) with the unavailability of effective and efficient methods to dispose them off. Alterations in the lifestyle of the Indian population has contributed immensely to the e-waste generated annually in India amounting close to 3 million tonnes, making India bag the position of the third largest e-waste generating country in the world following China and USA. But evidently the most worrisome stanza is the fact that India recycles only less than 2 percent of its e-waste generated annually as against the global figure of 20 percent. Further, provided its hazardous effect on human health and environment in the absence of its sufficient and efficient management, along with the prospects and huge potential to produce recycled metals such as Iron and steel, Plastic and other non-ferrous metals, it is the need of the hour to have appropriate policies and strategies in place followed by strict implementation. India's commitment to attain the SDGs 2030 (specifically, goals 3, 6, 8, 11, 12 and 14) will partially depend on how well India manages its e-waste in the coming few years. The present paper is an effort to highlight the importance of e-waste management for attaining the SDGs 2030 and also for suggesting some strategies to efficiently manage e-waste in future.

Organizations in India are metamorphosing themselves into an equal opportunity employer as the country experiences a greater influx of female talent into core functions of businesses. A great part of this female talent consists of educated women who want to return back to work after taking a break for motherhood. There is a mixed response among organizations to give opportunities to returning mothers to join the workforce. Stress at workplace is a major issue that is being addressed by the organizations. Organization stress is a threat to psychological & physical well being of its employees and consequently, affects the health of organizations. Organizations are adopting various strategies to reduce this stress. However, similar stress combating strategies are sometimes not appropriate for the entire diversified workforce. The returning mothers suffer higher levels of stress as they play a dual role of a career woman and a mother. Cultural & organizational factors influence carrier ...

This article contributes to employee engagement literature by clarifying what exactly engagement is; how it can be measured, and the different theories that support in conceptualization of employee engagement construct. This article also includes the expected benefits that can be enjoyed by employees and the organization. With claims that disengagement of employees costs the organization in many ways, this article summarizes the existing literature on employee engagement as defined by academicians and by the practitioners. Further objective of this article is to examine the current state of employee engagement and provide recommendations for future research.
