  • Work Passion: Construction of Reliable and Valid Measurement Scale in the Indian Context
    Rupali Johri, Rajnish Kumar Misra, Sharmistha Bhattacharjee
    Global Business Review, 2016
    Today ‘work passion’ is highly sought-after human capability to overcome intensifying environmental challenges. In this paper, we develop and validate the measure of ‘work passion’ in India. Two separate studies were conducted in this regard. In Study 1, work passion scale was developed and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted to examine its factor structure and reliability. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted and construct validity was examined through its convergent and discriminant validity. Results of both EFA and CFA yielded a 17-item work passion scale (WPS) with four distinct dimensions: work enjoyment, self-motivation, self-identity and sense of learning. The model emerged as a perfect fit on various fit indices. Analyses reveal high internal consistency for both the total scale ( α = 0.93) and the four sub-scales ( α’s from 0.89 to 0.92). The resulted 17-item WPS is a short, reliable, valid and easy to administer measure that holds potential for use in future research and practice.
  • An Overview of Labor Welfare Measures in India in Response to Globalization
    Sharmistha Bhattacharjee
    Journal of Developing Societies, 2015
    Globalization refers to complex economic networks of international competition, resource suppliers, and product markets. Most organizations achieve high performance within a complex and competitive global environment. Hence we can see it as a trend in which the economic, political, and cultural activities of people in different countries increasingly influence each other and become interdependent. With the change in the global labor market as a result of globalization, welfare measures are considered as a necessary investment that may save money in the long run and provide employers with a stable labor force. Labor welfare is part of social welfare both conceptually and operationally. It encompasses the state of well-being, happiness, satisfaction, conservation, and development of human resources. This article provides an overview of labor welfare in India.
