Abstract: What is it that makes one workplace environment conducive to innovation, enthusiasm, and commitment while another is not? Why is it that you can walk into a workplace and feel the energy sparking? What is it about a similar environment that leads to boredom and lack of attention? This paper addresses these important questions and focuses on the key elements like build trust, Communicate positively and openly, Create Team Spirit , Be Approachable , Be social and many more that create a positive environment in the workplace and the role leadership plays in fostering that environment. The purpose of this paper is to explore the key elements that comprise a productive and highly energized workplace environment in which people flourish. Do the elements of a high performing environment differ from person to person? Are there universal elements that, when in place, allow people to be magnificent and perform at superior levels, constantly stretching, growing, and being the best they can be? If so, what are these elements and how do leaders create or influence such environments?
Key words: Workplace Environment, Team Spirit, innovation, enthusiasm, commitment.

Abstract: Financial institutions are the blood of an economy and basically works as an intermediary to regulate the circulation of money as well as to ensure their profitability by loan disbursement in different sectors. The main purpose of this paper is to find out the disbursement and recovery performance of rural credit of Rupali Bank Limited (RBL) in different sectors namely agriculture and industry. To attain the objective, mean difference t-test and econometric model are analyzed. For analysis, whole population is taken into account in which one group is loan taker of business sector and other is agricultural sector. The finding of t-test shows that the recovery performance of the business sector is superior to agricultural sector or in other words the agriculture sector has more problems in loan repayment than business sector. The econometric model is used to analyze the recovery performance of the bank. The robust standard error is used to remove all peculiarities in data. From the analysis, it is found that the coefficients age and education are not statistically significant but the two variables namely business type and income level are statistically significant. Family size is close to significant which indicates that the higher income group, fewer family members and disbursement of loan in business sector are related to higher recovery performance. This study is a model based approach to find out the recovery performance in different sectors. Therefore, it can be helpful to the bankers and policy makers of banking and financial institutions to select the right borrowers for disbursing loan and get better recovery from these sectors.

Abstract:This study aims at suggesting the best Management Science practices for improving the effectiveness of entrepreneurial education programs in the Universities, based on their impact on expected attitudes of undergraduate students towards business start-up as a career choice. Particularly, the paper presents some results from a study carried out in two Nigerian Universities aimed at validating a structure of entrepreneurial education based on a double component of the circular role of management science teachings and extracurricular support, and to analyze their effects upon undergraduates' entrepreneurial self efficacy and outcomes as immediate antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions and behaviors. Statistical treatment of data was based on factorial, discriminate and regression analyses. Findings underlies the very limited involvement of Management Sciences of Nigerian Universities in entrepreneurial education as perceived by students, together with the existence of different effects of circular and extracurricular elements when fostering entrepreneurial careers among future graduates. Results show a relationship, though not very strong between Management Sciences and entrepreneurial capabilities. There was an examination of course structures and pedagogies in Management Sciences and entrepreneurial education, the paper then provides the results of University survey reflecting "current state" of Management Sciences and entrepreneurial education.
