We explore the utilization of FWA offerings in the Indian information technology (IT) industry and its relation to employee engagement (EE). Employees working in IT organizations in Bengaluru, India, were approached and data were obtained from 504 participants. The study found that availability of FWA options coincided with their utilization. Disconcertingly, only 7 per cent of the employees were "highly engaged", 51 per cent were neither engaged nor disengaged and 41 per cent of the employees were disengaged with their current organization. FWAs were positively related to EE. We find congruence that FWA options lead to better EE warranting further exploration that can guide FWA policies.

Ltd. started as an incubator in 2012, it combined its operations with Coeo Labs and Sattva Medtech, the former incubates, in 2019, thereby creating a single entity with a portfolio of innovative and life-saving products in the field of medical technology. It developed three innovative products, namely VapCare, Fetal Lite, and SAANS. With growing COVID-19 cases worldwide, there was a dire need for respiratory support, which could be in the form of invasive and non-invasive ventilation systems. Hence, InnAccel launched Saans Pro, which is a non-invasive ventilation system, an infrastructure independent technology for COVID-19 patients in ICU. It could be used to treat patients who are not stressed and have no other organ failure. The case presents the three main challenges faced by firms: commercialization, consumer acceptance of its products (Indian) in domestic and international markets, and dilemma of whether to venture into the international markets.

Greater depth of understanding of the professional work lives of faculty members in the areas of teaching, research and service is the need of the hour, are faculty members involved in productive results and what tactics are used in influencing process, and while faculty members spending the time, is it resulting in quality performance bothers educational institution, there is a need for educational institutions to understand what factors influence faculty member's decision and what tactics to be adopted to sustain ability faculty members. Often it is not clear what impacts the quality of work life of faculty has on their performance or retention. Quality of work life on college and university campuses appear to have declined in recent years increasing turnover intentions, to what extent it varies and for what reasons it varies.

Post lockdown (Covid-19) in Indian information technology organisations (ITOs), software professionals who experienced psychological empowerment are more likely to carry out their assignments better as well as having higher levels of trust, loyalty, employer branding and job satisfaction. Empowerment practices are expected to nurture heliotropic experiences among individuals, thus leading to their flourishing. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence in the Indian ITO context. A quantitative approach was adopted, with 200 software professionals participating in the study, aimed at investigating the correlation between psychological empowerment and flourishing. Two valid and reliable structured questionnaires were used to conduct the study using convenience sampling to identify the software professionals and stratified sampling to stratify the ITOs post lockdown (for COVID-19). Descriptive and regression analysis was performed to probe the experience of meaning, competence, self-determination and impact on flourishing. The results indicate that the software professional's experienced both psychological empowerment and flourishing. It also creates an emotional ability to enables intrinsically employees to have positive outcomes. Furthermore, the sub-dimensions self-determination and impact are found to be good predictors of flourishing even during the post-lockdown (Covid-19) period. Implications of how psychological empowerment of software professionals is important to ITO performance and accomplishment of objectives are discussed in detail.

Design/methodology/approach The paper uses both cross-sectional and longitudinal data, gathered in the course of major organisational restructuring, using samples from employees (n=305) and leaders (n=120) in two health care organisations. Findings The research developed and validated a scale of WEC for leaders with two factors: frequent change and events, and uncertain work demands. Comparisons between samples suggest diverging employee and leadership representations of WEC. Practical implications Being the first scale to measure the comprehensive construct of WEC, a foundation is laid to measure the amount of complexity in a leader’s work and the functioning of leaders with regards to WEC. Originality/value This paper contributes to leadership research and practice by clarifying the construct of WEC for leaders empirically and validating a bidimensional scale of WEC.

It spans one's entire lifetime. Employee development is a powerful employee motivator and retention tool, not to mention a competitive strength when it comes to attracting new talent, all of which can have a profound impact on an organization’ bottom line. Happy, satisfied workers are more productive and more likely to stick around when they believe their employers value them. Employee development is sponsored by an organization for its workers and focuses on identifying, assuring and helping evoke new insight through planned learning. This study investigates relationship between career planning, performance and employee growth and explores the alignment between individual and organization’s career planning.
