In last few decades, Bangladesh Readymade Garment (RMG) Industry of Bangladesh has become a leading
manufacturing industry in the world with its constant growth. The Industry is of major importance to the national economy
of Bangladesh as it contributes more than 80% of the country’s export earnings that amounts to about USD nineteen billion.
The number of workers currently in this industry is more than 4.2 million and the number of factories is 5000 in different
sizes. Despite this impressive growth, the performance of the workers in this industry is poor. Hence, this study aims at
identifying the work stress factors and their impact on work performance of the RMG workers in Bangladesh. This used both
qualitative and quantitative research methods. Respondent workers were selected by simple random sampling method from
ten garment companies that are located in the periphery of Dhaka city. The impact of the stress of the workers was assessed
by structured questionnaires. Two hundred ten readymade garment workers were interviewed from ten companies of
different sizes for this study. Factor analysis was conducted to identify the factors related to stress of the workers that have
impact on the work performance of the workers. Regression analysis was carried out to examine the impact of stress on
workers’ performance. The results show that the factors concerned with work stress symptoms are frustration and feeling of
inefficiency, decrease satisfaction at work, problem of concentration at work and decrease of decision making ability. The
performance impact factors are work pressure and frustration, understaffed workplace and work in holidays, job insecurity
and pressure to complete the assignments. This study suggests that the policy makers should focus on the stress factors
identified in this research that have impact on the performance of the workers in this industry.

Recruiting and retaining employees in the industry is a critical issue. Smart, ambitious, and highly motivated employees are difficult to keep. Attracting and retaining these people is a challenge. Qualified personnel have to be compensated well and require work that develops their skills and matches their personal interests. Since technical employees require challenging and rewarding work, a slightly different plan must be employed to successfully recruit and retain these workers. Some key factors that aid the recruiting of outstanding technical people are salary, benefits, the organization’s reputation, and rewarding work.

This document summarizes an experiment that examined how eelgrass from two locations in the Salish Sea (Padilla Bay and Ship Harbor) responded to gradual temperature increases predicted with climate change and short-term spikes to high temperatures. Eelgrass shoots were collected from each location and exposed to either ambient temperatures from the collection site or a gradual increase from 14°C to 19°C over a month. Some shoots also experienced a 6-hour spike to 30°C. Growth was measured over time. Results showed that Ship Harbor eelgrass declined more quickly than Padilla Bay eelgrass in the gradual warming, possibly because Padilla Bay eelgrass is more acclimated to higher temperatures as a warmer location.

Social Security in Informal Sector: A Myth or realityAMU
This document discusses social security for workers in India's informal sector. It provides an overview of India's social security system and the constitutional rights related to social security. While India has enacted some laws to provide social security benefits like health insurance and pensions, they mainly cover organized sector workers and do not adequately address the needs of unorganized sector workers who make up around 90% of the workforce. The Unorganized Workers Social Security Act of 2008 aims to provide welfare schemes for this group but it lacks dedicated funding, does not recognize social security as a right, and does not establish an empowered regulatory body to implement it effectively. Overall, the document argues that more needs to be done to expand social security coverage and protections to India's vast un
Master Thesis_Codes of Conduct_Stephen Wils_25.08.2010Stephen Wils
This document summarizes a study on the impacts of codes of conduct in the garment industry in Tirupur, India. The study found that codes have led to some benefits for workers, especially improvements in health, safety, and minimum wages. However, there were little to no impacts on process rights like freedom of association. Social audits were also found to be too superficial to uncover less visible issues. In conclusion, while codes have improved some visible outcomes for workers, they have been limited in enhancing workers' rights and fall short of their full objectives due to a technical focus on compliance and failures in auditing process rights.

Worker’s Participation in Management Decision making – with special reference...ABHISHEK SHARMA
In recent years research and discussions on workers' participation in decision-making have dominated much of management literature. In its broadest possible sense, workers' participation means wider involvement and participation by a company's employee in the decision making process of that organization. With the outbreak of the First World War, an acute industrial unrest was experienced in those countries where its impact was intense. In countries like England, West Germany, France and the USA.
This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between employees' perceived quality of work life (QWL) and life satisfaction domains using the spillover theory. The study surveyed 227 employees from chemical industries in Cuddalore, India. QWL was measured using need satisfaction variables and was found to positively correlate with job satisfaction, life satisfaction, general well-being, and organizational commitment. Regression analysis showed that fulfilling needs like health & safety, family needs, and knowledge needs led to higher job satisfaction, while esteem needs predicted life satisfaction. Perceived high QWL was found to lead to higher job satisfaction, life satisfaction, well-being and organizational commitment, supporting the hypotheses.
A Study on Quality of Work Life in Kiran Global Chems Private Limited at Kara...Arul Edison
In modern era, it has been observed that stress management has become the generous concepts in the skilled surroundings. It is also seen that working proficiency has degraded to some extent as professionals are unable to maintain a balance between lifestyle and career. This difference has made organizations to formulate such policies that lead to better job security, which results in job involvement moreover employee satisfaction. This degree of satisfaction has been referred to as QUALITY OF WORK LIFE. Quality of work life is a process in an organization that enables the members at all levels to contribute aggressively and successfully in shaping organizational environment, methods and outcomes. This study focuses on the subjective matter of QWL i.e. the key elements like salary/wages, job security, job involvement, employee satisfaction etc.
Employee welfare refers to benefits and services provided to employees to improve their living standards. It aims to make work meaningful and includes amenities provided beyond wages. Statutory welfare includes provisions mandated by law like drinking water and first aid, while voluntary welfare differs between organizations. Welfare benefits employee morale, loyalty, and productivity while also improving the employer's public image. It is provided through agencies like governments, employers, unions, and social organizations. Common types are intramural facilities within offices and extramural benefits outside like housing and healthcare. Welfare schemes impact productivity by increasing commitment, satisfaction, and enthusiasm among workers.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

A SYSTEMATIC RISK ASSESSMENT APPROACH FOR SECURING THE SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEMSIJNSA Journal
The smart irrigation system represents an innovative approach to optimize water usage in agricultural and landscaping practices. The integration of cutting-edge technologies, including sensors, actuators, and data analysis, empowers this system to provide accurate monitoring and control of irrigation processes by leveraging real-time environmental conditions. The main objective of a smart irrigation system is to optimize water efficiency, minimize expenses, and foster the adoption of sustainable water management methods. This paper conducts a systematic risk assessment by exploring the key components/assets and their functionalities in the smart irrigation system. The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.

I. INTRODUCTION
Government of India has passed Factories Act, 1948 to ensure a fair deal to employees and employers
regarding various aspects of health and safety measures at the workplace after Independence. The regulation in
working conditions was done by the state Government in India in 1881. It was the time when first Factories Act
passed. Afterwards, amendments were done under this act in 1911, 1922, 1923, 1926, 1931, 1935, 1940, 1945,
and in 1946. In 1947, Government of India introduced a bill, which becomes law after certain modifications on
1st
April, 1948. The main objective of this act is to protect workers employed in the organization against
industrial and occupational hazards. This act is applied to factories all over India included the state of Jammu
and Kashmir. It provides minimum statutory welfare amenities for the workers which will improve their
working conditions. It came into force on the 1st
day of April, 1949.
Factories Act, 1948 was enacted to regulate the provisions of the basic minimum requirements for
health, safety and welfare of the workers as well as regulating the annual leave with wages, holidays,
employment of young persons and women at dangerous machines etc. Mainly health, safety and welfare
facilities have been included in the study. Labour is an important constituent which plays a crucial role in the
economic development of the nation. Gone are those days of ill-treatment of labour and the prosecution of the
rights of labour. They should be kept satisfied to work for the organization and ultimately the nation as a whole.
Hence, employers have started expanding welfare activities for their employees. If all those amenities are
provided to the workers in a fair manner, then they will be motivated and do more work at the workplace. It will
leads to more profitability and productivity of the organization. All the provisions under Factories Act, 1948 are
very important for the workers.
II. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Upadhyaya (2006) examined awareness and implementation of statutory and non-statutory labour
welfare measures in Garment and Hosiery industry falling under the jurisdiction limits of local office of the
Directorate of the factories in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The study was confined only to the industrial units from
Garment and Hosiery Industry registered under Factories Act, 1948. The awareness level of workers regarding
canteen, lunch rooms, rest rooms, shelter rooms, crèche facilities was very low but high for educational
facilities. The study observed that lack of job security reduces the chances of unionization of workers and the
piece rated employees were not getting some benefits like payment of overtime, casual leaves, annual leaves,
earned leaves etc.
Murty and Abhinov (2010) studied relationship between canteen facility and healthy physical work
environment of the industrial units at coastal districts in Andhra Pradesh. A sample of 290 respondents was

Garg and Jain (2013a) evaluated awareness and satisfactory level among workers regarding welfare
measures at Cotton Textile Industry in Punjab. A sample of 250 workers was selected from Textile Mills. The
study observed a strong relationship between gender and the awareness level of workers regarding welfare
measures. Positive association is found between experiences and level of satisfaction of the employees regarding
welfare facilities. Majority of the respondents were moderately aware and highly satisfied with the welfare
measures provided by the company. Female workers were less aware about the statutory welfare measures. The
study suggested that improvement is required in the field of grievances handling procedure. Management should
formulate a problem solving committee for better solution of the welfare problems of the workers so that they
can do work effectively and efficiently.

welfare facilities which in turn would increase the efficiency of the workers.
Logasakthi and Rajagopal (2013) highlighted the employees’ satisfaction level regarding health, safety
and welfare measures at Chemical Industry in Salem region. The sample size of study was 100 employees.
Majority of the respondents were satisfied with disposal of wastes in the proper way and periodical health
check-up facility provided by the organization. Chi-square test showed significant relationship between the
experience and safety office work. While, there was no significant relationship between age and periodic health
checkup facilities in the organization. The study suggested that industry should concentrate towards settlement
of funds internally for the medical reimbursement facilities. There was also provision of mask and overcoat to
avoid health hazards. Various training programs should be conducted to motivate the employees and improving
their performances.

Statistically significant differences (Table 6) have been found in F1 (health provisions), F2 (safety
provisions), F3 (welfare provisions), F4 (annual leave with wages provision), F5 (employment of young persons
& women at dangerous machines), F6 (working hours & holidays for adults), F7 (obligations of employers), F8
(rights of employers), F9 (obligations of employees) and F10 (rights of employees) on the basis of marital status
of workers (p<0.05). It has been found on the basis of post hoc analysis (LSD) that married workers are more
aware to the provisions of Factories Act i.e.F1 (3.25), F2 (3.32), F3 (3.26), F4 (3.36), F5 (3.33), F6 (3.26), F7
(3.31), F8 (3.28), F9 (3.46) and F10 (3.34) as compared to unmarried workers. Unmarried workers are less
aware to the provisions of Factories Act i.e. F1 (2.90), F2 (2.99), F3 (2.88), F4 (2.99), F5 (3.02), F6 (2.94), F7
(2.89), F8 (2.85), F9 (2.92) and F10 (2.94) as compared to unmarried workers. Hence, it can be concluded that
unmarried workers are less aware due to having less responsibilities on them as compared to married workers.
VII. DISCUSSION
When the comparison is made on the basis of age of respondents, it is observed that workers in the
upper level age group (above 35 years) are more aware to the provisions of Factories Act as compared to the
workers in the other age groups. Workers in the middle age group (25 to 35 years) are more aware than the
workers in the lower age group (below 25 years). Workers in the upper age group are more conscious to the
facilities provided to them at the workplace because they are at highest risk with age. It has been analysed that
highly experienced workers are more aware to the provisions of Factories Act under study as compared to the
workers having less experience. With respect to the awareness level of workers on the basis of gender, female
workers are more aware as compared to male workers due to more responsibilities on them in relation to
personal and professional life. As far as marital status is concerned, differences have been found in the
awareness level of workers regarding provisions under Factories Act. Unmarried workers are less aware than the
married workers regarding provisions under Factories Act mentioned in the study. Performance of employees
depends upon the awareness of workers regarding provisions under Factories Act morale, health and wellbeing.
If they have good awareness of facilities come under Factories Act, then they will do work more efficiently and
effectively.
VIII. CONCLUSION
It is concluded that workers possess awareness at the moderate level to the provisions under Factories
Act mentioned in the study. Old age and highly experienced workers are more aware than the young and less
experienced workers respectively. As the age and experience of workers increases, the awareness level of
workers also increases. They are aware to the provisions of Factories Act with age and experience. It has been
observed that female and married workers are more aware to the provisions under Factories Act as compared to
the male and unmarried workers. There is a huge scope in the improvement of awareness of workers regarding
Factories Act, 1948 on the basis of age, experience, gender and marital status.
