Benefits and Hurdles of AI In The Workplace – What Comes Next?CSCJournals
During the last few years, there has already been a solid discussion and political will, transversal to most European countries, on the need to invest in prevention, promoting healthier living environments and person-centred digital solutions. In short, it seems that consensus on the need to move forward and invest in wellbeing and quality of life was achieved.
During the COVID-19 pandemic and the confinement measures it implied, many services had to be closed; teleworking suddenly became the rule and many families stayed at their homes, with the children in remote classes, some without sufficient equipment or the most adequate digital tools available. Digital services, if implemented correctly, can be the right tools to address many of these challenges. The importance of implementing them correctly increases in the current context of accelerated Digital Transformation, where many are looking towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a means to help people to cope with the increasing number of digitized work. We are assisting to a gear-shift in the current digital revolution, as now we better understand how it could have been helpful, if already embedded in daily life.
COVID-19 generated severe consequences for the working context, with effects on physical and mental health and wellbeing, and with trends such as teleworking coming to stay. Organizations and individuals working on AI can play a great role in providing solutions, not only during this emergency period, but also in the long-term perspective, and not only for office workers but in more traditional industries as well. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic is a driver for the digital revolution in the workplace across many levels. However, inequalities persist and their impact on universal access to the digital world is enormous. Moreover, several other challenges come from the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace.
This paper addresses how technology applied to the work environment can be leveraged to respond to the emerging challenges raised by COVID-19. It also provides reflections on the main opportunities and challenges that the use of AI solutions in the workplace imply, suggesting measures or recommendations to tackle them, towards a concerted approach to AI, integrating the policy agenda with the implementation strategy.

The document discusses HCL Technologies' Engineering and R&D Services division developing its plan for 2012 for its "Engineering Out Of The Box" business concept to transform how it creates productized solutions and engages customers. The productized solutions relied heavily on IT platform-based solutions and services. The EVP of Global Sales, Engineering and Research Services at HCL Technologies and the EOOTB team must consider the potential user experiences that could result from EOOTB in conjunction with customers.
This document discusses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and its use in studying the adoption of various technologies. TAM examines how perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness influence the likelihood of adopting a new system. Many studies have validated TAM across different technologies. However, factors influencing acceptance can vary based on the technology, users, and context. Researchers have expanded TAM by adding additional factors like subjective norms, behavioral control, and self-efficacy. Other models from diffusion of innovation literature have also been integrated, such as trialability, visibility, and demonstrability. External variables or moderating factors have also been introduced to the core beliefs of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.
This document provides an overview of the 23 companies selected as Technology Pioneers for 2013 by the World Economic Forum. The pioneers are developing innovative solutions across several fields including information technology, telecommunications, energy/environment, and life sciences. Some key trends among the pioneers are solutions to address climate change and sustainability issues; technologies that simplify machine interfaces and adapt to users; and approaches that make advanced tech more affordable and accessible. The document profiles each pioneer company and the problems they are working to solve through technological innovation.
Technology Readiness and Technology Acceptance of Employees of Bekasi Kota Po...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study aims to determine and analyze the readiness and acceptance of technology in
Polres Metro Bekasi City employees in using information system services. This type of research is
quantitative. The sampling technique used is saturated sampling in which the number of questionnaires are
106 respondents. Data collection techniques by distributing questionnaires. The respondents of this study
were all employees of Polres Metro Bekasi Kota. The analytical method used is a statistical analysis method,
namely Path Analysis on the Technology Readiness Acceptance Model (TRAM). The results of testing the
data using the validity and reliability tests show that the data obtained is valid and reliable. Of the 11
hypotheses in the TRAM, five hypotheses are supported by research results while 6 hypotheses are not
supported. Based on the proof of the hypothesis, in this study sample, the TRAM (Technology Readiness
Acceptance Model) model was not fully implemented in the sample studied. Behavior intention that occurs is
due to its relationship with perceived usefulness; where perceived usefulness is related to optimism and
innovativeness. Perception of ease of use is related to Optimism and Insecurity; however, the perceived easy
of use is not positively related to the perceived usefulness and behavioral intention.
KEYWORDS : Information System Services, TRAM, technology readiness, technology acceptance.

Technology plays an important role in our daily lives. It can be defined as products, processes, or organizations used to extend human abilities. We rely on technology for communication, transportation, learning, manufacturing, and more. While technology benefits humans when applied properly, it can also cause harm if misused. The document then provides examples of different types of technologies, including communication technology, construction technology, assistive technology, medical technology, information technology, and entertainment technology.
This document discusses how businesses are adapting to new technologies like e-commerce and social media. It outlines both the benefits and pitfalls of technological adoption. The benefits include improved communication, marketing opportunities, and efficiency gains. However, risks include security issues, reduced in-person interaction, overreliance on technology, and high costs of implementing new systems. Overall, the document concludes that while challenges exist, technology has significantly enhanced business operations and the modern workforce when adopted appropriately.
Innovation Diffusion Theory - Review & Scope in the Study of Adoption of Smar...scmsnoida5
When mobile phones were introduced in the
world markets, little did one expect that these
small handheld devices would transform the
world as we knew it. This small innovation
transformed the lives of millions of people. A
simple device which was invented basically as a
vocal-communication tool got transformed into a
complex gadget that facilitates almost all forms of
communication now-a-days be it vocal, written or
multimedia. Mobile phones have metamorphosed
into smartphones which are far advanced than
their predecessors. These smartphones are new
innovations in themselves as with each passing
day they come up with added features and uses
never thought of before. With markets being
flooded by these smartphones it will be occupying
to study their diffusion across global markets.
Indian markets in particular have been swamped
by millions of smartphones each month in the last
two years or so. This study is aimed to use the
framework of Innovation Diffusion theory to suggest a model for the analysis of adoption and
ultimately the diffusion of smartphones in India.
The innovation diffusion theory in itself has
developed immensely from the time of its origin
(1962) till the present day. This paper will try
to discuss some of the key elements of Innovation
Diffusion theory.
In this blog post, we will explore what Ethical Technology is, why it is important, the benefits it brings, and its potential role in shaping our future.

Technological environment refers to the state of science and technology in a country, including the rate of technological progress and arrangements for developing and applying new technologies. Technology includes both physical machines and conceptual approaches used to solve problems and advance progress. India has taken steps to develop technology through research institutes, a positive technology policy, growth in information technology, and incentives for domestic innovation. The technological environment presents opportunities for new innovations but also risks from new competitors utilizing new technologies. Businesses must adapt to technological changes in their industry or risk falling behind competitors.
A Study on Perception and Awareness about Fintech Platformsijtsrd
The term fintech refers to new technology that aims to improve and automate the delivery and usage of financial services. Fintech, at its most basic level, is used to help organisations, company owners, and individuals better manage their financial operations, procedures, and lives through the use of specialised software and algorithms that run on computers and, increasingly, smartphones. The term fintech is a mix of financial technology and financial innovation. Fintech was coined in the twenty first century to describe the technology used in the back end systems of established financial organisations. However, since then, there has been a shift toward more consumer focused services and, as a result, a more consumer focused definition. Fintech today spans a variety of sectors and industries, including education, retail banking, nonprofit fundraising, and investment management, to mention a few.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Abstract
The worldwide advanced digital system has been many sensational changes as of late.
Numerous advanced technologies are conveying disruptive developments to the market
which prompts skimming plan of action. The adoption can only be measured when there
are critical changes in the innovation which can possibly alter individuals’ lives and
industry. Advanced technology development can possibly change how individuals impact,
learn, and work and would cause a quick change in the business scene.
This research paper shows the investigation of various parameters for selection of
advanced digital innovation. The research incorporates both primary as well as secondary
essential information accumulation. The secondary information was fundamentally from
distributed recorded research papers and market reports while primary information was
gathered by leading a broad survey. A pilot review was directed for taking out inquiries
from the poll that were anomalies. A survey was directed, and input was looked for by
people in different areas of the public. Theories are characterized in view of the auxiliary
(secondary) information audit. The information gathered from this overview was dissected
to affirm the legitimacy of chosen parameters. The research additionally incorporates its
spur on developing the business sector.

1. Introduction
India, the seventh largest country in the world has about 1.25 billion population [1] with
around 67% in rural areas [2]. With such a huge population, it becomes imperative for
India to mark a powerful position in the global economy. Emerging digital technologies
such as mobile applications, digital platforms, social media, mobile, analytics or embedded
devices, provide the country with requisites for achieving the desired. However, the impact
of any new digital technology to the financial growth of the country can only be
comprehended when it is largely adopted by the masses. The adoption can be quantified
only when there is a significant change in the technology which has the potential to
revolutionize people’s lives and is not based upon a mere incremental modification in the
prevailing technology. One can easily see that digital technologies are pervasive in almost
every field be it agriculture, dentistry, education, manufacturing or even construction and
transport. Digital Technologies are omnipresent but even in the connected world; it takes
time, energy and determination to get foremost revolutionary effects from fresh and
innovative technology.

Technology has been defined as, “The application of scientific knowledge for practical
purposes, especially in industry or Machinery and devices developed from scientific
knowledge.” (Oxford Dictionary)
“Technology is society’s pool of knowledge regarding the industrial arts. It consists of
knowledge used by industry regarding the principles of physical and social phenomena…
knowledge regarding the application of these principles to production… and knowledge
regarding the day-to-day operations of production…”. “Technological change is the
advance of technology, such advance often taking the form of new methods of producing
existing products, new designs which enable the production of products with important new
characteristics, and new techniques of organization, marketing, and management.” [3]
Digital Technology has the potential to transform how people communicate, learn, and
work and would cause a rapid change in the business landscape. This can only be achieved
by adoption and embracing of the new technology by the masses because it is dissemination
of the technology rather than the development or improvement which eventually determines
the speed of economic growth and the degree of efficiency. Until the people embrace the
new technology, it may add little to the well-being. As Nathan Rosenberg said in 1972, “in
the history of diffusion of many innovations, one cannot help being struck by two
characteristics of the diffusion process: its apparent overall slowness on the one hand, and
the wide variations in the rates of acceptance of different inventions, on the other.” (Hall &
Khan, 2002)
The adoption of Digital Technology is characterized by several factors. As per the
research conducted by Davis, 1989, the user acceptance of technology can be analysed on
the basis of perceived utility and perceived ease of use. The ease of use parameter defines
the level of comfort and convenience people have with respect to the technology. Davis
(1989) defines ease of use as “the degree to which a person believes that using a particular
system would be free from effort.” In addition to this, Safety and Security is a crucial
parameter, if not the most important, as this connected world is exposed to large number of
hackers and cyber- criminals which lefts our data and information prone to get stolen. Hence
the importance of this parameter cannot be neglected.
With regards to adoption of new technology, innovation studies the behavioural
characteristics of people, such that it depicts whether a person is an innovator, early adopter,
early majority, late majority or laggards. It is basically a characteristic to determine the
willingness of a person to adopt the technology by analysing three classes which are
Command over the technology (it is defined as the level of control people have over that
technology), Life-Cycle of Technology and lastly the Level of Advancement in
Technology.
The social behaviour of people also plays a vital role in the acceptance as in this world
one cannot seclude himself from the others. Hence, in order to be embraced by the society,
one has to be in accordance to the fast-changing times. It is rightly said, when in Rome, do
as the Romans do. Lastly, the benefits received are one of the most important factors as
they majorly determine the adoption among the people with limited financial means.
Benefits can further be studied under four categories which are the incentives from the use
of the technology, the tax-reliefs associated with the use, the reduction in the overall costs
and finally the cashbacks and bonuses derived from them from time to time.
2. Literature Review
India is a growing economy and with extensive innovation happening there is the advent
of new technology. New technology brings about new changes as well as new challenges
in society. Thus, in order to adopt these changes upcoming technology has to focus on a
person’s perception so that it becomes easy for people to adopt and make use of these new
technological changes. Carr (1999) has defined technology adoption as the 'stage of
selecting a technology for use by an individual or an organization'.

Elise & Naveen (2006) state that use of technology is more valuable to the firm as it will
allow the user to reach online rather than physically coming to their destination. Therefore,
now they can digitally reach the firm without worrying about the distance. For firms,
technology helps them expand and connect with people with less effort. As per Buell &
Mark (2014), internet helps businesses expand globally. SMEs are using the internet to
expand their business and to increase their growth speed so as to reach maximum number
of people with minimum cost. In addition, people feel more connected through this
platform. According to the Department of Industry, Government of India, with the increase
in digital market, safety and security of this platform is increasing accordingly which helps
people to move faster towards this market.
Hall & Khan (2002) state that as the people acceptance rate for the new technology
increases it is leading to more people adopting the use of technology. So, technically people
are following the social acceptance law, i.e. they follow the trend and the crowd and avoid
the differentiation because the risk is low in that case. If most people have already adopted
that technology, then probably most of the negative factors have been already analysed and
worked upon. Thus following the trend will become less risky and will make them
aware of recent changes.
As per Mr. Narendra Modi (Prime Minister of India 2017), people need to update their
skills as per the current trend prevalent in the market which not only helps them to enhance
more, but also helps the new start-ups. Jay Chen (Huawei India CEO) stated “Indian
telecom operators are now moving in the direction where they can catch up with rest of the
world”. People are moving towards 5G in India because when the upcoming technology
creates the level of comfort within the people, then people move one step forward to adopt
that technology.
Fitzgerald, Kruschwitz, Bonnet & Welch (2013) in their research found that majority of
the employees feel that the transformation in digital technology is essential for the
organization and the pace of technological change in their organization is too slow as
compared to the current market requirement and therefore organizations should move
according to the social behaviour, trends and public acceptance in their market and respond
according to the current requirement with the current situation. Also, digital transformation
is the right thing for the organization as it keeps you updated, creates the level of comfort,
increases the visibility and also minimizes the time required to do a certain task.
As per research conducted by New Zealand agricultural and resource economics society,
lack of skill and lack of knowledge are one of the important parameters in terms of adopting
any new technology as this keeps them limited and if people are aware about the adopting
technology than they can go beyond their limits and increase the productivity and make
better use of that technology.
Research conducted by Tamil Nadu Agricultural University shows that adoption of agro
forestry technologies requires mainly young, educated, large and rich farmers with access
to credit and higher contact with extension personnel. Therefore, it implies that some
technologies have certain limitations like income, which limits them to adopt that emerging
technology.
Devine-Wright (2007) found that reconsidering public attitudes and public acceptance
of renewable energy technologies shows that the benefits, public acceptance and public
engagement with the technology are responsible for attracting people towards technology
adoption. Stolovich (2010) in his research stated on incentives, motivation and workplace
Performance shows that incentives attract people and give them a motivation to do certain
tasks or to move ahead to do any new activity. Tax relief, incentives, cost-cutting or
Bonus/cashback will motivate and encourage people by minimizing the level of fear as far
as money is concerned.
Alhinai, Kurnia & Johnston (2007) found that level of technological advancement in a
new technology varies according to the person’s comfort level with the advanced

technology. Farnworth, Sultana & Kanton (2015) state that when people see the benefit of
adopting new practices they are ready to change their behaviour in order to earn the benefit.
It also shows that women are more concerned about the security/safety and the economic
conditions as compared to the men.
Meyer (2008) found that older age people find it difficult to adopt new technology as
they are friendlier with the substitute of that technology which they are using from the past
and therefore they feel a little uncomfortable to move into any new technology which
sometimes may result in minimizing their efficiency. Accenture Digital (2015) states that
digital can improve performance across all the functions, including customers as well as
company employees’ comfort level. It helps to expand the reach of the company and its
customers by making the processes more visible as compared to the physical platform, but
due to high risk of duplication companies need to pay more focus towards security to gain
the customers trust and also for its own security as the documents are considered as highly
sensitive.
Research done by Preben & Stillaug (2012) shows that while introducing any new
technology, customers’ attitude towards the technology and their expectation should be
considered. Poushter (2017) states that use of social media and internet varies with the
location. Therefore, it also implies that person’s perception varies with the location because
of the type of society they are living in and also the connectivity within that area.
Benn & Danny (2001) state that organizations that consistently invest in innovation will
develop as compared to the non-innovative organizations. Therefore, if the changes emerge
in positive direction, i.e. according to the user’s requirement, then it is more likely it will
help the organization to grow. Rajesh & Rajhans (2014) in their research found that
technology spreads more effectively when diffusion occurs, i.e. when it reaches to the
masses because as the area of acceptance increases than more people are aware and creates
a level of trend in the market because of which more users get into the connection which
gradually helps in its expansion.
Based on research done by Preben & Stillaug (2012) which stated that while introducing
any new technology, customers’ attitude towards the technology and their expectation
should be consideredit becomes imperative to understand the adoption phase of the new
digital technological advancement. Interestingly it was seen that research in India has not
yet fully investigated the public acceptance of digital technology especially in Delhi and
NCR. Based on the review of literature, the parameters that were considered to understand
the level of public acceptance of digital technology were ease of use, safety and security,
level of innovation of the technology, social behaviour and benefits of using the technology.
3. Methodology
Given the exploratory nature of the research it was Ex Post facto in nature. The design
of the approach for investigation included self-completed questionnaires and possible
secondary sources (statistical handbooks, books, reports, journals, internet information). An
extensive research was conducted, and the methodology adopted included designing of a
survey and collecting the answers of people and recording their opinions on the topic and
studying their comfort with respect to the new technology. The responses were collected to
study the adoption behaviour of the people against different parameters such as Ease of Use
with respect of Technology, Safety and Security associated with the technology, the Level
of Innovation in the technology, The Social behaviour of people and lastly the Benefits of
using the Technology. The questionnaire was designed on a five-point Likert scale. The
data was collected from 135 people. The respondents were approached personally for their
responses and interviews.

4. Analysis and Interpretation
4.1. Reliability Test
Reliability is the measure of testing the sample data set under similar and consistent
constraints so as to produce the same results over time. Thus, when testing procedure is
repeated with a group of test takers and essentially the same results are obtained, then it
could be said to have high reliability. Research shows that Cronbach Alpha value which is
greater than 0.7 shows a high measure of reliability. For the data as a whole, Cronbach
Alpha was 0.845 which showed strong reliability.

Reliability for each factor of Ease of Use, Safety and Security, Innovation, Benefits and
Social Behaviour was checked for separately. For the factor of ease of use, questions
pertaining to convenience, user friendly, robustness, accessibility through mobile, laptop,
IPad were asked. The data showed a strong reliability of 0.724. In case of Safety and
security, questions asked were related to efficient technology, reliability, scope of theft and
hacking. The Cronbach Alpha for Safety and security was moderate i.e., 0.600. In case of
Innovation questions asked were related to life cycle, command over the technology being
used and level of technological advancement. For the factor of Social behaviour questions
related to trend and fad, peer pressure and differentiating factor were asked. The Cronbach
Alpha of Innovation and Social Behaviour was 0.681 and 0.566 respectively. This showed
that the reliability for these two factors was moderate to strong. In case of Benefits,
reliability was 0.696 and questions based on incentives, tax relief, cost cutting and cashback
and bonuses was asked.
4.2. Correlation Test
A correlation component matrix was analysed and it was seen that there was a significant
amount of correlation between the variables as shown in the below diagram. Rather, factors
of Ease of use, Innovation, Benefits had a moderate to high degree of correlation with
acceptance of Digital Technology by the public.

4.3. Hypothesis Testing
In this research, five hypotheses have been designed and statistical analysis in the form
of linear regression both simple and multiple were performed to verify if they hold true.
4.3.1. Regression Analysis: Regression analysis helps us understand how the typical value
of the dependent variable changes when any one of the independent variables is varied,
while the other independent variables are held fixed.
H1: Ease of Use, Safety and Security, Innovation in Technology, Social Behaviour and
Benefits leads to acceptance of Digital Technology by public.
On taking the independent variables as Ease of use, Safety and Security, Innovation,
Social Behaviour and Benefits and the Dependent variable as Acceptance of Digital
Technology by the public the value of R2
derived was 0.482 which shows that 48.2% of the
variation in Acceptance of Digital Technology by the public can be explained by Ease of
use, Safety and Security, Innovation, Social Behaviour and Benefits

5. Analysis and Discussion
Based on our analysis of the sample data responses of 135 people, it was seen that factors
of Ease of use, Innovation, Benefits had a moderate to high degree of correlation with
acceptance of Digital Technology by the public. On further testing through regression
analysis, it was found that taking the independent variables as Ease of use, Safety and
Security, Innovation, Social Behaviour and Benefits and the Dependent variable as
Acceptance of Digital Technology by the public the value of R2
derived was 0.482 which
shows that 48.2% of the variation in Acceptance of Digital Technology by the public can
be explained by Ease of use, Safety and Security, Innovation, Social Behaviour and
Benefits. However, it showed that that public acceptance of Digital Technology in NCR
region is basically dependent on Ease of Use, Innovation in Technology and Benefits. The
acceptance increases by 0.125 with unit increment in Ease of Use and by 0.152 with unit
increment in Innovation. It increases by 0.081 when the benefits are increased by 1 unit.
This also corroborated the high correlation between the factors of Ease of use, Innovation,
Benefits had a moderate to high degree of correlation with acceptance of Digital
Technology by the public.
Further in-depth regression analysis conducted for each of these factors separately
showed that with reference to ease of use it is primarily convenience and robustness which
people are looking for while using any new technology ie with a with unit increment in
Convenience, the public acceptance increases by 0.502 and similarly by 0.216 when
Robustness is increased by 1. This is extremely important for the makers of any new
technological innovation. This conforms to the findings of Alhinai, Kurnia & Johnston
(2007) who found that level of technological advancement in a new technology varies
according to the person’s comfort level with the advanced technology.
With reference to safety and security Public Acceptance increases by 0.386 with unit
increment in Efficient Technology and also by 0.137 when no scope of theft and Hacking
is increased by 1. This corroborates the statement of Department of Industry, Government
of India, which states that with the increase in digital market, safety and security of this
platform is increasing accordingly which helps people to move faster towards this market.
As far as Innovation is concerned it is the level of advancement of technology which
influences the minds and perception of people.
This contradicts the findings of Hall & Khan (2002) who state that as the people
acceptance rate for the new technology increases it is leading to more people adopting the
use of technology. So, technically people are following the social acceptance law, i.e. they
follow the trend and the crowd and avoid the differentiation because the risk is low in that
case.
Importantly, in case of benefits public acceptance increases by 0.282 when Incentives
increase by 1 similarly, when the Tax-Reliefs increase by 1, the public acceptance increases
by 0.159. It also increases by 0.273 when Cashback and Bonuses are increased by 1. This
is in line with the findings of Stolovich (2010) who in his research stated that incentives
attract people and give them a motivation to do certain tasks or to move ahead to do any
new activity. Tax relief, incentives, cost cutting or Bonus/cashback will motivate and
encourage people by minimizing the level of fear as far as money is concerned.
Thus, based on our findings for Delhi and NCR it was seen that for acceptance of digital
technology by the public ease of use, innovation and benefits must be borne in mind by the
organisation developing the new technology. Rather, they must ensure that he technology
is convenient to use and has a robustness to it. It should be efficient and there should be
absolutely no scope of theft and hacking. For people of Delhi and NCR it is the factor of
differentiation which is important with regards to influence due to social behaviour. In case
15. International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology
Vol.108 (2017)
48 Copyright ⓒ 2017 SERSC Australia
of adoption of new technology it is the factors of incentives, tax relief and cashback and
bonuses which plays an important role in the minds of consumers.
The present research focuses on the Adoption of Digital Technology with respect to
factors such as Ease of Use, Innovation, Benefits, Social Behaviour and Safety and
Security. However, the impact of some other parameters such as the Income of people, the
gender and the background of the people (Whether Urban, Semi-Urban or Rural) has scope
for further research in future.
6. Limitations
The present research was centred around individuals within the age group of 20 to 35
years old, henceforth its application for senior individuals would have to be additionally
examined.
In the present research, the sample was generally drawn from Delhi and NCR area. In
this way, the generalizability of these outcomes for rural areas around Delhi and NCR must
be done with caution and similarly for pan India. A bigger sample size can likewise be
considered upon.
