Employee Perception On Organizational Performance:A Structural Equation Modeling Approach, Anson R. A Quadros Mr., Giridhar B. Kamath Mr., Gopalkrishna Barkur Dr., Shiva H.C Prasad Dr.

SHIVA H.C PRASAD Mr.

Organizational Performance Measurement has been gaining significant importance in recent times. Some of criteria that determine the performance of the organization are efficiency, quality, quality of work life, productivity and profitability. In order to make any performance measurement method effective it is very important to know perceptions of the employees regarding the criteria involved in the measurement. This paper focuses upon capturing the perceptions of the employees with regard to the criteria involved in the performance measurement using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. The study was carried out in a reputed Line Pipe manufacturing firm in India. The results show …


Management Regimes And Its Impact On The Wetland Fisheries Management In Assam, Ganesh Chandra Aug 2014

Management Regimes And Its Impact On The Wetland Fisheries Management In Assam, Ganesh Chandra

Ganesh Chandra

Assam is endowed with copious aquatic wealth in the form of beels, swamps, ponds and rivers. The floodplain wetlands (beels) extending over one lakh hectare, constitute the most important fishery resource of the state. The beels are considered as one of the most productive ecosystems owing to their characteristic interactions between land and water system. These wetlands are the common property resource and under different management regimes. These wetlands are under various management regimes, i.e., private management (individuals and groups), fishermen cooperative management, Community-based fisheries management (decentralized management, Government works as facilitator) and open access. Most of the unregistered beels …


Regional Industrial Structure And Agglomeration Economies: An Analysis Of Productivity In Three Manufacturing Industries, Joshua Drucker, Edward Feser Jan 2012

Regional Industrial Structure And Agglomeration Economies: An Analysis Of Productivity In Three Manufacturing Industries, Joshua Drucker, Edward Feser

Edward J Feser

We investigate whether a more concentrated regional industrial structure – the dominance of a few large firms in a given industry in a region – limits agglomeration economies and ultimately diminishes the economic performance of firms in that industry, especially small ones. In an application to three industries using establishment-level production functions and a combination of confidential and publicly available data sources, we find a consistently negative and substantial direct productivity effect associated with regional industrial structure concentration and only mixed and relatively weak evidence that agglomeration economies are a mediating factor in that effect.
