Improving employee performance is an important concern for employee, employer and society at large. The performance of employee depends on the personality of employee. In modern times, studies on Big Five Personality concepts suggest that Conscientiousness is the most important dimension affecting performance of employee. Ancient Indian knowledge envisages the Guna Traya model of understanding personality. The description of Sattva Guna indicates that it improves the performance of a person. The present action research study aims to assess if the Conscientiousness and Sattva Guna can be improved through practice of Yoga by employees and to find the relationship between Sattva Guna and Conscientiousness. Fifty one employees who are given intervention for 4 months and another 51 employees forming Control group without any intervention participated in the study. Vedic Personality Inventory was used to assess the changes in Sattva Guna and Big Five Personality inventory was used to assess changes in Conscientiousness. The data analysis showed that there is significant increase in Sattva Guna and Conscientiousness in Intervention group but no significant changes are found in Control group implying that practice of Integrated Yoga improves the performance oriented personality dimensions.

Banking industry has become highly competitive sector in India and has been facing greater challenges of technological revolution and global banking system. Stress is unavoidable on the part of employees as the systems, procedures and techniques are getting complicated with the use of advance technology. Stress management is getting more and more attention nowadays, particularly in the banking sectors. The job nature of bank employees is very tedious as it involves the direct customer interaction at all levels. The present paper seeks to comprehend the working framework with respect to various factors, like long working hours, improper reward system, lack of job autonomy, organisational culture, role conflict and others, and the main reason is lack of management support to employees, which results in imbalance in their work life. The study is based on qualitative as well as quantitative research methods for designing research propositions. The study was conducted to know the factors causing stress and its impact on the work life of the employees. A convenient sample of 150 bank employees from HDFC, ICICI and AXIS bank was collected for the study. The study revealed that preventive steps should be taken up by the banks to make their employees free from stress to perform their work with optimum efficiency and effectiveness. However, with the help of proper management techniques, the bankers’ stress level can be reduced to great extent.

The widespread use of the cheques and their ease of access make the cheques very popular among the public. The indefatigable popularity of the cheques accompanied by readily available desktop publishing software has given an upset increase in the cheque frauds. In addition to cheque frauds, different types of banking frauds are seen across the globe and cheque fraud is one among them. The fraudsters are acting like the termites, which weaken the foundation of the nation. The fraudsters are becoming smart and very intelligent; they staggered the world by using the new and advanced modusoperandi. Non-adherence of the banking procedures, advancement of technology and the ease of access plays the lead role in the enhancement of the volume of cheque frauds. This research paper is devoted toward the identifying the methodologies adopted by the fraudsters to tune banks specifically cheque fraud modusoperandi in the banking sector of India. The case study methodology has been used to accomplish the objective of the study.

The Unique Identification Project implemented by Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for all the residents of India is one of the historic ventures ever tried out in the government sector. The entire nation is out to share their personal details along with their fingerprints and iris scan for verification and authentication purposes at any point of time and at any place as and when required. The data so collected can be stored and retrieved without the issue of dealing with duplication. This system can also avoid the need for various other IDs like the PAN card, Voter ID, PDS ID, census ID, etc. There are several factors that suggest that this unique identification number (UID) allotted to all the residents of India can influence almost every other policy making decision that the government intends to come out with. However, this article would like to study and analyse the impact of this UID on the sectors of education and health which are termed as the ‘Safety Nets’. The article also intends to look at the essential health care services that a Unique ID like Aadhaar can deliver if implemented. An attempt has also been made to look into the impact that the assessment or analysis of health data can bring about for the policy makers.

Customer relationship management (CRM) has emerged as a proactive business process that encapsulates people, process and technology in unification to create an environment of conjugal transaction between the service provider and the recipient, which surpasses the transactional model of marketing. Automation in service designing and delivery process has redefined the perceived service quality dimensions and their significance to influence the behavioural outcomes of the consumers, with specific reference to attitudinal loyalty and propensity to switch. This paper attempts to explore the logical network between perceived automated service quality (PASQ), customer satisfaction (CS) and the subsequent behavioural intentions (BIs), with particular reference to customers’ attitudinal loyalty and their intention to switch or defect from their present service provider. The study further attempts to link PASQ, CS and BI with a novel concept of CRM performance indexing (CRMI). The cross-sectional study was carried out with the customers of State Bank of India at Asansol, Durgapur, Bolpur and Santiniketan in West Bengal, India. The study used structural equation modeling (SEM) to explore and validate the nomological relationship between the variables. The study confirmed relationship between PASQ and CS, and went on to justify CS as an antecedent to positive BIs. CRMI also proved to be a quantitative determinant to the PASQ-CS-BI link. The proposed model holds good on the basis of a number of goodness-of-fit statistics.
