Title	:	Job Attitude to Job Involvement – A Review of Indian Employees
Country	:	India

Abstract: Job attitudes, as indicators of well-being, vary within individuals across cognitive processes and not just time. Research on employee well-being has relied primarily on self-reported measures of explicit job and life attitudes. Our work takes a different perspective on this issue by examining the role of implicit attitudes regarding one's organisation, coworkers, and supervisor as indicators of well-being. Implicit attitudes are automatic, introspectively inaccessible and predict behaviour in socially sensitive contexts in which self report measures may be impaired by impression management. The results of a field study demonstrate that implicit and explicit job attitudes reflect relatively independent intra-individual processes. Additionally, this study demonstrates that job involvement and organisation commitment are best predicted by a combination of implicit and explicit job attitudes, and that a dissociation between implicit and explicit attitudes impacts organisational commitment. We conclude with a discussion of how capturing implicit cognition in the workplace can better describe and subsequently help improve employee well-being.

Title	:	The Impact of Stock Market Returns on Foreign Portfolio Investment in Nigeria
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Dr. OZURUMBA BENEDICT ANAYOCHUKWU
	:	10.9790/487X-0241019

Abstract: This research work was designed to investigate the impact of stock market returns on foreign portfolio investment in Nigerian. The objectives of the research are: to identify the relationship between foreign portfolio investment and stock market return, inflation rate and stock market returns and to determine the direction of causality between foreign portfolio investment and stock market returns in Nigeria. The data were collected from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin. The data were consequentially analyzed using E-views statistical package. The methodology used was multiple linear regression analysis to capture the impact of foreign portfolio investment and inflation rate on stock market returns, as well as Granger causality tests to determine the direction of causality between the variables. The results showed that foreign portfolio investment has a positive and significant impact on stock market returns while inflation rate has positive but insignificant impact on stock market returns. In the case of causality test, evidence of the result showed that there is a unidirectional causality running from stock market returns to foreign portfolio investment in the economy, which in turn will foster stock market returns in Nigeria. We therefore recommend that policies that will attract foreign portfolio investment should be pursued in order to enhance stock market returns.

Title	:	Making Indian Healthcare Market a Global Medical Tourism Destination
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. Rajendra Mishra, Kumar Shailesh.
	:	10.9790/487X-0242328

Abstract: Medical Tourism in India is budding as an exponential growth of 25%-30% annually. Medical Tourism (also called medical travel, health tourism or global healthcare) is the practice of traveling abroad to get hold of healthcare services. Typically, by traveling abroad patients not only save a considerable amount of money but also receive world-class service. There are different opinions as to whether medical tourism is still a promising industry or had been considered firmly established. The industry is being followed and promoted by several trustworthy organizations, including the Medical Tourism Association (MTA), the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, and the Joint Commission International. The MTA is an industry group actively involved in promoting the Medical Tourism industry, above all through its publication. The Deloitte Center is a research arm of the global accounting firm on healthcare. The JCI is a division of the Joint Commission which is involved in accrediting health care facilities outside the United States. National Accreditation board for hospitals (NABH) is responsible as Indian regulatory body for medical travel in India. India's medical tourism is dominated by the private sector from the corporate houses. Medical Tourism in India has 80% hospital managed by private sector, which is ultimately invigorating and making India a global medical Tourism destination.

Title	:	Economic Impacts of an Electric Vehicle Society in Toyohashi City, Japan-A CGE Modelling Approach
Country	:	Japan
Authors	:	Yuzuru Miyata, Hiroyuki Shibusawa, Shamsunnahar Khanam
	:	10.9790/487X-0242940

Abstract: In this paper we explore economic impact of promotion and realization of an electric vehicle society (EVS). More concretely, this paper emphasizes on a CGE-modelling approach to evaluate the following issues: entire economic impacts of subsidies for promotion of an EVS, the possibility of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and prices reduction, industrial structure change towards an EVS, and model shift occurs towards an EVS. Our simulation results demonstrate that after applying 20% subsidies to five industries, such as electric vehicles (EVs) manufacturing and transhipment, solar, cogeneration, and other transhipment the total industrial output and city GDP increase. A large growth rate is found in industries where subsidies are introduced alone with non-ferrous metal industry. However, it is motivating that decreasing proportions are found in oil, coal product, mining, heat supply and gasoline vehicles (GVs) transhipment industries.

Title	:	Globalization of Corporate Social Responsibility Focussing On Indian Markets
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Soheli. Ghose
	:	10.9790/487X-0244148

Abstract: In recent years, scholars and managers have devoted considerable attention to the strategic implications of corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR can be defined as situations where the firm goes beyond compliance and acts to further some social good, beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law. CSR activities have been posited to include incorporating social characteristics or features into products and manufacturing processes (aerosol products with no fluorocarbons, environmentally-friendly technologies), adopting progressive human resource management practices (promoting employee empowerment), achieving higher levels of environmental performance through recycling and pollution abatement (reducing emissions), and advancing the goals of community organizations (working closely with groups such as United Way). In this context I have studied the theoretical aspect of CSR including the Global Reporting Initiative and CSR Legislation norms and globalization of CSR in the including India. I have also studied few specific cases of CSR activity and CSR violation in India.

Title	:	The Role of Factors on Job Satisfaction of Employees – An Empirical Study
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Ramandeep Kaur
	:	10.9790/487X-0244952

Abstract: Job satisfaction is an important indicator of how employees feel about their jobs and predictor of work behaviors such as organizational citizenship, absenteeism, and turnover. The analysis of impact of certain factors on employee job satisfaction is an important yet relatively neglected area of inquiry within the field of human resource management (HRM). This study suggests that the factors that has impact on job satisfaction are perceived to be promoted in the organization too and that this impact tends, on the whole, to be positive than negative. In particularly, the results indicate that the factors need to be give importance in the organization are not necessarily the same as those that make up high productivity but still helps in improving the performance. Moreover, the perceptions of work conditions have proven to be important to the well being of workers.
Key Words: factors, job satisfaction, organization, perceived, productivity.
