Job Crafting: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analytical Relationships with Precursors and Work Outcomes (2001-2021)
Meta-analysis and SEM (structural equation modeling) were used to investigate the relationship between job crafting, job characteristics, work engagement, and job performance. We used random effects of meta-analysis to statistically integrate 199 primary studies and structural equation modeling to examine the assumed moderation through gender and educational levels using Stata: Version 16.0 software. We also ran an exploratory moderator analysis to see any systematic differences in the relationships. The findings revealed that job performance and job characteristics were positively and significantly related at the 1% level, as were job performance, job crafting, and work engagement. All were positively and significantly related at the 1% level. Work engagement and job crafting, too, were positively correlated and statistically significant at the 1% level. Furthermore, p < 0.05 for gender and p < 0.10 for educational level indicated that educational level and gender moderated the relationship between job performance, work engagement, job characteristics, and job crafting significantly. Cronbachs alpha was used to conduct the reliability test, which indicated a good (0.8 < a < 0.9) and excellent (0.9 < a) internal consistency because Cronbachs alpha was more significant than the 0.6 thresholds, and the validity indicated that the model was adequate. 2022, Associated Management Consultants Pvt.

Job Involvement of secondary school teachers of bangalore in relation to their work ethics organisational culture and leader behaviour of heads of institutions
Education has been the mainstay of our culture, right from the time of the Gurukul to the present day. Even today, the single most important factor in our education system is the teacher and his qualities. The issue of teacher motivation and Job Involvement is an essential factor for classroom newlineeffectiveness and improvement of educational institutions. Though many studies have been conducted in the area of Job Satisfaction of teachers in India, Job Involvement of teachers has received comparatively little attention. Literature review indicates that Work Ethics, Organizational Culture, Leader Behaviour of Heads of Institutions do newlineinfluence Job Involvement along with other variables. In this area, few independent studies are available, but a study related to all these variables is not available. Moreover, most of these studies related to Job Involvement are overseas studies. Hence the investigator felt the need to take up the present study titled Job Involvement of secondary school teachers of Bangalore in relation to their Work Ethics, Organizational newlineCulture and Leader Behaviour of Heads of Institutions. The main objectives of the study were: 1) To find out the relationship between Job Involvement of secondary school teachers their work ethics, organizational culture and Leader Behaviour of Heads of newlineInstitutions. 2) To find out whether differences in background variables like Gender, Subject specialization etc would account for significant difference in Job Involvement. 3) To find out whether any differences in levels of Work Ethics, Organizational Culture, and Leader Behaviour of Heads of Institutions results in any significant difference in Job Involvement of secondary school teachers 4) To find out the interactionxvi effect of the independent variables on Job Involvement 5) To find out newlinewhether the independent variables selected by the researcher are significant predictors of Job Involvement of secondary school teachers. Based on these objectives, researcher formulated 30 hypotheses. -

Job satisfaction while working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic: do subjective work autonomy, work-family conflict, and anxiety related to the pandemic matter?
The imposed lockdown, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, resulted in the rise to a new normal of working from home. This study explores how the lockdown and the sudden shift in the working style affected the job satisfaction of employees in India. We examined the relationship of job satisfaction with work autonomy, and determined whether work-family conflict, and anxiety due to COVID-19 are negatively related to job satisfaction amongst employees working from home in India. Through a correlational research design, a total of 211 participants took part in the study, and only 200 of the data, representing a 95% response rate, were eligible for further analysis. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling, and the results showed that work-family conflict and anxiety related to COVID-19 have a negative correlation with job satisfaction, while work autonomy had a positive correlation with job satisfaction. Perceived work autonomy, work-family conflict, and anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic significantly predicted job satisfaction and accounted for an overall 37.8% of the variance in job satisfaction. The findings of the current study provide valuable insight into the consequences of a pandemic or similar uncontrollable event, and augmented the literature on organizational behavior where most employees are compelled to work remotely, either full-time or part-time. The theoretical and empirical implications of how work-family conflict and anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impact the job satisfaction of employees in India were discussed. Evaluation of the structural relationship (SEM) reveals that the overall exogenous constructs significantly predicted job satisfaction of employees working from home in India during the COVID-19 pandemic. 2022 The Author(s).

Job Search Methods in the Software Industry in Bangalore: Does Social Capital Matter?
Heterogeneity of workers and jobs results in imperfections such as information asymmetry in the labour market. Acquisition and evaluation of information by buyers and sellers to arrive at a decision is, therefore, both difficult and costly. Referrals in the labour market act as a conduit through which necessary information flows between prospective employers and job seekers, thereby reducing problems associated with information asymmetry. The information technology (IT) industry hires about a quarter of their workforce through referrals. We look at realised job search outcomes of IT workers some of whom have found jobs through informal methods of search deploying their social networks while others through formalised channels of recruitment. We examine social capital, human capital and firm-specific differences among those who found jobs through formal vis-a-vis informal methods of search. The empirical analysis is primarily descriptive and is based on a survey conducted among software workers in the IT industry in Bangalore. The results suggest that there are no significant differences in the human capital characteristics of workers between the two methods of job finding. However, certain social capital and firm-specific characteristics significantly differ among the methods of job finding. 2019, Indian Society of Labour Economics. -

Journeying through the Indian railways in around India in 80 trains (2012) by monisha rajesh and chai, chai: Travels in places where you stop but get never off (2009) by bishwanath ghosh
An Indian train is a space that exemplifies a true sense of transient cultural pattern as it travels through different states of India constantly assimilating people of diverse cultures. In this liminal space, a passenger travels from known to unknown in terms of geography, culture, language, cuisine, sartorial configuration and psychological makeup. Indian Railways offers an insightful analysis of cohabitation - the conflict and the coexistence of people amidst cultural differences.An Indian train is an exemplar of an accurate secular structure, blurring the lines of discrepancies based on religion, caste, gender, sex and sexuality. Prejudices that are evident in spaces relatively marked by certain spatial permanence dilute in a train. A provisional spatial arrangement of a train therefore questions the idea of tolerance and intolerance compared to that of permanent arrangement. As the Indian train incorporates people of all ages and territories, the train is a specimen of the concept of Bakhtinian polyphony, wherein the dialogues occurring between passengers represent varied consciousness. Thus, a train travelogue encompasses unmerged voices, each carrying a unique conscious design. The people travelling in an Indian train are separated on one single ground: economy. Therefore, economic factor becomes an overarching pattern of base to assign a certain culture in a superstructure to each class and each offers a unique perspective to the travelogue. This paper will analyze the trope of the train in two Indian travelogues based on culture, Marxist economic structure, Bakhtinian concept of polyphony, secularism and the idea of tolerance.

Joycean novels: A broad secularizing project
This paper discusses how the Irish novelist James Joyce used the Novel form as an interface of religion and secularism in fiction. The secularism of his novels is a nuanced, complex project, as he was deeply haunted by the fabric of religious upbringing which he had only partially disowned. Joyce's works as well as life reflect an ambiguous relationship to religious texts, themes, and institutions. A non-teleological concept of modernity is what is present in the works of Joyce especially in his novels, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses. Here, the secular and the religious exist in an intimately antinomian, mutually defining opposition in many aspects of cultural life, including literature. 2015 Journal of Dharma: Dharmaram Journal of Religions and Philosophies (DVK, Bangalore), ISSN: 0253-7222. -
JP-DAP: An Intelligent Data Analytics Platform for Metro Rail Transport Systems
This paper deals with an intelligent data analytics platform-Jaison-Paul Data Analytics Platform (JP-DAP)-for metro rail transport systems. JP-DAP is intended to ensure smooth functioning, improved customer experience, ridership forecasting, and efficient administration of metro rail transportation systems by integrating and analysing its many data sources. It consists of a middleware which is built on the top of a Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and Spark framework, along with a set of open-source software tools like Apache Hive, Pandas, Google TensorFlow and Spark ML-lib for real-time and legacy data processing. The benchmarking of JP-DAP was conducted using TestDFSIO and have found that it performs well according to industry standards. The specific use case for this project is Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL). The analysis of Automated Fare Collection data from KMRL on JP-DAP framework have produced descriptive statistics visualisation of inflow and outflow analysis, travel patterns during weekdays and weekends, origin-destination matrix, etc.. Moreover JP-DAP framework is capable of producing short term passenger flow predictions using SVR machine learning algorithm with linear, radial basis function and polynomial kernels. Our experiments have shown that SVR linear kernel gives the most accurate results with the least errors in predicting the next day's passenger count using the previous five weekdays data. The station usage (one-to-all) prediction using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is also integrated to this framework. The visualisation as well as analytical outcomes of JP-DAP framework have also been made available to the external world using a rich set of REST APIs and are projected on to a web-dashboard. 2000-2011 IEEE. -
JRHDLSI: An Approach Towards Job Recommendation Hybridizing Deep Learning and Semantic Intelligence
The requirement of the job for people and employees for employers are al-ways in demand. This is due to the lack of proper infrastructure to reduce the unmatching job application for employers and inappropriate job recommendations for people. This chapter proposes a strategic framework with machine learning and knowledge integration to increase accuracy in the provided recommendations and increase the chance of getting a job offer. The usage of'user's search data intends job recommended more in liking of the users, and the machine learning helps in finding the accurate job recommendation. The machine learning technique used here is Radial Basis Function Neural Net-work for the classification and Knowledge Integrated using Analysis of Variance - Web Point Wise Mutual Information and Kullback Leibler (KL) divergence. All the job providers ads are retrieved from the top websites using beautiful soup. The proposed JRHDLSI architecture achieved an accuracy of 94.99% which outperformed the baseline models and was much superior. 2022 Copyright for this paper by its authors.

JUDE: An Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope pipeline
The Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) was launched as part of the multi-wavelength Indian AstroSat mission on 28 September, 2015 into a low Earth orbit. A 6-month performance verification (PV) phase ended in March 2016, and the instrument is now in the general observing phase. UVIT operates in three channels: visible, near-ultraviolet (NUV) and far-ultraviolet (FUV), each with a choice of broad and narrow band filters, and has NUV and FUV gratings for low-resolution spectroscopy. We have written a software package (JUDE) to convert the Level 1 data from UVIT into scientifically useful photon lists and images. The routines are written in the GNU Data Language (GDL) and are compatible with the IDL software package. We use these programs in our own scientific work, and will continue to update the programs as we gain better understanding of the UVIT instrument and its performance. We have released JUDE under an Apache License. 2017 Elsevier B.V. -
Jugaad in organizational settings: exploring the Jugaad leadership competencies
The Hindi term 'jugaad' is closely linked to frugal innovation. In resource-scarce environments, organizations can thrive by developing jugaad-related leadership abilities. Previous research on jugaad has focused primarily on individual problem-solving and overlooked the leadership skills necessary to implement it in organizational settings. This study employs a theoretical lens of leadership competency models, interpretive phenomenology, purposive sampling, and an inductive data-driven coding approach to explore the jugaad leadership competencies of 28 Indian business leaders and managers. The study presents the Jugaad Leadership Competency (JLC) model, identifying ten competency clusters exhibited by jugaad leaders. This is the first study to develop a model for jugaad leadership in organizational settings. In environments characterized by scarcity and intense competition, the JLC model can aid individuals and organizations in acquiring the necessary competencies for frugal innovation. The study evaluates the theoretical and practical implications of the findings, their transferability, and limitations and offers suggestions for future research. 2023, Springer Nature Limited. -
Juice Jacking: Security Issues and Improvements in USB Technology
For a reliable and convenient system, it is essential to build a secure system that will be protected from outer attacks and also serve the purpose of keeping the inner data safe from intruders. A juice jacking is a popular and spreading cyber-attack that allows intruders to get inside the system through the web and theive potential data from the system. For peripheral communications, Universal Serial Bus (USB) is the most commonly used standard in 5G generation computer systems. USB is not only used for communication, but also to charge gadgets. However, the transferal of data between devices using USB is prone to various security threats. It is necessary to maintain the confidentiality and sensitivity of data on the bus line to maintain integrity. Therefore, in this paper, a juice jacking attack is analyzed, using the maximum possible means through which a system can be affected using USB. Ten different malware attacks are used for experimental purposes. Various machine learning and deep learning models are used to predict malware attacks. An extensive experimental analysis reveals that the deep learning model can efficiently recognize the juice jacking attack. Finally, various techniques are discussed that can either prevent or avoid juice jacking attacks. 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. -
Jurisprudential basis of the right to clean and healthy environment
Examining the basis of the right to a clean and healthy environment helps in an increased understanding of the nature of the right which in turn will further the job of devising effective strategies and policies to meet the interests of the environment and make the right a reality. This paper examines four strategies: Firstly protect environment rights by declaring it to be a right. This would protect it from mutilation at the hands of political processes, and thus would be a safer option, but its dimensions have not yet been crystallised. Secondly, it can be protected by making it part and parcel of human rights. Thirdly, the Interest Theory suggests that the interest of the environment must be protected for its own sake by creating such an interest. Fourthly, the notion of Intergenerational Responsibility which establishes that the present generation has an obligation/duty to preserve and protect the environment for a correlative similar right which the future generation enjoys. The article also examines the conflict between environment protection and developmental needs of humanity. Indian courts have referred to traditional Indian philosophy of 'Dharma' and have tried to adopt a balancing approach by integrating environment values with developmental values. Any theory that does not resolve the above conflict would clearly be insufficient. 2013 Journal of Dharma: Dharmaram Journal of Religions and Philosophies (DVK, Bangalore).
