The commercial revolution in Technology has reconfigured communication modes into computer mediated communications (CMC). Research studies have been discussing the positive aspects of computer mediated communications socially. However, few studies have discussed the ‘dark side’ in the commercial revolution of technology. As a result of this gap identification, the aim of this study is to see the relationship of CMC with special focus on the emails, chat, groups and Instant text messages with escalation of conflict within the organizations specifically in context of a developing country where historically, the CMC is an emerging field and talk of this decade. This study is experimental in nature and finds positive relationship between escalation of organizational conflict and CMC. Results also show that likeness or dis-likeness, personality dimensions, moods, situation and time of receiving the messages through CMCs also has an impact on escalation of conflict in Organizations

Civil Service has a task to secure, support and improve the nation it serves. All over the world, each and every public and civil servant plays a vital role in fulfilling this task and so improving the lives of their corresponding citizens. Over the generations civil service has helped successive governments to overcome exclusive and complex challenges. Hence, performance and quality of civil service is very important. Improving performance quality of civil service is a public personnel management process by which the public organizations determine how effectively the employees are performing the job and improve performance to achieve the ultimate goals. Public sector organizations are playing an increasingly important role towards development of Bangladesh by providing a range of services. Bangladesh started promoting quality of civil service under the rubric of the ‘Structural Adjustment’ in the era of New Public Management. This paper attempts to analyze the present state and limitations of performance management and provide some suggestions to promote quality of civil service in order to improve the overall performance of the Government of Bangladesh.

Income distribution is very substantial for economic and social advancement. It affects the structure of the society, limits the level of poverty for any specified average per capita income and poverty puts pressure on growth. Different Household Expenditure Survey data of 2000, 2005 and 2010 are used to review the trends of income distribution in Bangladesh. The Decile techniques and Gini coefficient measures are used to explain the recent trends. In addition, the shares of income of the uppermost and lowermost deciles are also used to show the income dispersal in Bangladesh. It is revealed that Bangladesh has exposed visible economic growth but income disparity has increased rapidly over time. The study is also measured the affiliation between economic growth and income disparities, using a new practical form that fits the data well. Most of the upshots suggest that inequality has a substantial positive influence on economic growth. It reapproves the Kuznets’ hypothesis that at an initial stage of progress, disparity of income rises and it decreases again. Although, it provides empirical evidence that the distribution could have a positive effect on economic growth in low-income countries rather than the growth effects on distribution. The positive relationship is a contrary result to the recent empirical findings but indicates that more research is indispensable to fully understand the composite affiliation between income distribution and economic growth.

Caste as a social and religious system has been undergoing changes over time. As we know caste is nothing but a mental situation of ‘Purity and Pollution’ which exhibit through different behavioral patterns of the people who have ascribed their status of socio-religious distinction. If we observe their behavioral patterns with intensity and apprehend the mental state behind those patterns, we find that the system still exists in a perishable manner. As ethnography, this study intends to explore the situational context of caste system in a Bangladesh village where both Hindus (Sanatana religion) and Muslims live together in separate residential areas. The study has designed to achieve some objectives through participated observation method in a village which is situated in Badarganj sub-district of Rangpur district. The both authors stayed in the village for fourteen months with two recesses. It was found that the present situation of caste system in the village has changed with the changes of the notions and attitude; the concept of untouchability has gradually weakened, but this can be the prediction that so long Hinduism persists, the concept of untouchability will endure. But, in general, the concept has been confined to the kitchen, and women have been the custodians of the concept. Regarding the changing pattern, we can say that caste, which was prevailing in a rigid form, is turning less rigid, and more flexible and adaptive in nature. It never was open, and never will be open like the class system.

Social Safety Net as a part of social protection programmes is now very popular in many developing countries. Political discourses have a role in prioritizing and implementing such pro-poor policy. The objective of this paper is to understand the dynamics of political discourses that influences in adopting and sustaining Social Safety Net Programmes in these countries utilizing the common assumptions proposed by Hickey (2006) and Barrientos and Pellissery (2012). The analysis of this paper identifies that the assumptions developed by Hickey, Barrientos and Pellissery are not adequate enough to capture political discourses around SSNPs in the developing countries. These assumptions mainly help us to understand such discourses from the macro/structural perspective and fail to capture the politics at the micro level. The paper, therefore, argues for more rigorous empirical based research from cross-country perspective focusing both macro and micro level politics.

Solid waste management is considered as one of the most immediate and serious environmental problems confronting municipal authorities in the developing countries like Bangladesh. Inefficient management and disposal of solid waste is an obvious cause of degradation of the environment in most cities like Dhaka. For Bangladesh Army (BD Army), the resource constraint is an undeniable fact; it cannot be elucidated overnight. In the present climate adaptation and mitigation structure of BD Army, there are Cantonment Boards located in all the cantonments for solid waste management. In addition to tactical and technical matters, there are various administrative aspects also awaiting attention in present climate adaptation and mitigation process of the BD Army structure. The perception, approach and operational procedure in this field may have to be redefined. Adopting an integrated approach along with the help of Dhaka City Corporation, solid waste management can improve the quality of life in Dhaka Cantonment where good governance will take the lead role. Attitude towards disposal of waste plays a vital role for a new change. The present study develops a forecast for future waste generation that can assist in managing the waste in an effective way so that the adverse effect of generated waste on environment can be minimized.

What is good practice in aid administration? This article, based on thereflections of an insider practitioner, finds that unequal relationshipsbetween donor and recipient and the ambiguous nature of aid as a giftbetween one country and another, creates a complexity that is difficult tonegotiate in practice. A key finding is that neither market nor administrativerationality fit the needs of the exchange, although the rules of aidadministration feature both. Instead, a third logic; the ambiguous sociallogic of the gift, creates opportunities for practitioners of good intent oneither side to go beyond the contract obligations or rules of office toovercome negativities and achieve positive outcomes. At project level this toadvocate a role for the mutuality of friendship that both administrativenorms and market theory disallow as dangerous. At intergovernmentallevel, inequality persists in ways that are not masked by the language ofpartnerships that now pervades aid administration. The paper concludeswith the thought that this may change, as will the nature of aid, ascountries North and South negotiate a shared destiny in a warming World.

Tea is the second most highly consumed beverage in the world. The British colonial rulers introduced tea plantation in the early 1830s in the Indian subcontinent. Since then, it has been cultivated and consumed in enormous quantities. In Bangladesh, the first tea plantation was launched in the Sylhet district. Tea is an important cash crop in Bangladesh. , It is widely consumed locally and exported to a few countries. The present study was carried out in Lubachhara tea garden, Sylhet as a case to examine the socio- economic situation of the tea plantation workers. Using a mixed method approach with a sample of 252 workers, the study explored the state of the workers with respect to some basic needs, such as health, sanitation, housing, nutrition, education, wages, and service benefits which were found to be very deplorable and inhumane. Based on the findings of the study, some courses of actions are suggested to improve the socio-economic situation of the workers.

What isthe availability and quality of these studies: and what are the obstacles toeffective female participation? A systematic, search strategy using searchkeys and boolean operators were used for finding out the studies which metthe main questions of the review. A step by step process followed by aspecifically defined inclusion-exclusion criteria was used for synthesisingthe final studies for the review. From a large number of studies, the presentreview finally included ten studies which were most relevent to the centralpurpose of the review. The reviewed studies which defined politicalparticipation from diverse perspectives have been synthesied here. Thequality of the reviewd studies were assessed based on four criteria: studydesign, sample size, data collection methods, and data analysis. Based onthese evaluation criteria, most of the reviewed studies were found to havesmall sample size, unspecified study design, vague mode of data collection,and superficial data anaylsis. The key barriers to the female politicalparticipation were found to be institutional, economic, socio-cultural andpsychological in nature.
