Constitutionalism as a dimension of the Quality of Work-life has been of paramount importance for the researchers mostly in the public sector institutions of Jammu and Kashmir because all the universities are public funded and therefore run by the Government. For the assessment of various parameters, the perception of the Teachers towards constitutionalism, and Relationship and Co-operation were measured by using a structured questionnaire prepared in light of the model developed by Parshuram in 1988. However, the dimensions were further refined and critically examined to further explore new insights in research in quality of work-life. The sample was taken from the four sate run universities of Jammu and Kashmir to address the problems pertaining to higher education system. However, the history of constitutionalism incited a new thinking generally and its impact on several countries in particular. Moreover, the attainment of competitive advantage by any institution is linked to its interrelation between employees and employers, colleagues and bosses at work.

Doctors' Work Life Quality and Effect on Job Satisfaction: An Exploratory Stu...AI Publications
Every day, the health-care system becomes more complicated. It is mostly due to changes in lifestyle, greater demand for patient care, and the effect of technology on the health-care delivery process. Sophisticated devices necessitate specialized knowledge, which necessitates a better and more current medical education system, which, in turn, necessitates a better organizational structure. All of this has an impact on the entire medical profession, as novel difficulties must be met with increasing skill and potential development, as well as increased dedication to the profession, as performance management becomes a major aspect in avoiding professional hazards in various forms. As a result, the entire health policy needs to be updated in order to provide health care professionals, particularly doctors, with enough quality work life and improved job satisfaction in order to improve their performance at work. We try to answer these questions in our research.

The changing nature of the workplace has created different employees' expectations and demands. As a result, the working environment is no longer associated with employees that are rigid and treating jobs as static sets of tasks. Instead, employees are being proactive in developing and adjusting their work roles and functions. The act or behaviour of these employees in adapting their work roles to match their needs and preferences is called job crafting. Goal orientation is considered as an important dimension in influencing their behaviours. However, there has been little research on how the mindset, especially public sector employee's goal orientation, adapt to the changing and challenging world of work. Using Partial Least Square approach with 150 samples, the study showed that public employees with learning goal orientation do embraced job crafting activities and the surprising finding that those with performance prove do not embraced such activities.

In an extension to the work by Jones (2007), this study attempts to understand the role of dyadic influences on gaining employee commitment. The purpose of this paper is to understand the roles that work relations i.e. relationship with the manager and relationship with co-workers play in the employees commitment to change. The leader-member exchange (LMX) theory is used to understand the dynamics of the relationship between the manager and the employee. The LMX theory and the change management are integrated to understand the interaction between the two. To understand the impact the co-workers have, their opinion on the change as well as the influence of quality of the relationship with the co-worker was measured. Commitment to change was divided into: affective, continuance, and normative commitment to change. Responses were collected from 150 respondents who has recently experienced significant changes in their workplace. The results have shown that the employees relationship with the manager has a significant influence on the affective and normative commitment to change but not on the normative commitment of the employees. On the other hand, the quality of the relation with the co-worker and commitment to change are positively related and when the relationship is good the opinion of the co-worker is related to commitment to change. Thus, this paper shows the importance of relationships in the workplace on gaining employee commitment to change.

We propose to do it by interfering in literacy practices of its actors, which will be developed from the teachers practice. For this, we assume that they are directly related to the low performance of students since that in the formal educational practices, the teacher takes the role of mediator between students and knowledge. Tackling this issue, we propose a creation of a Transmedia Literacy Laboratory, structured as a digital platform that must be collectively build in a partnership between the university (researchers of this project: leaders, the collaborators, and tutored students) and the public school (school leaders, principals, supervisors, professors, students, and auxiliaries). The main goal is to act as a common space for converging researches, continuous teacher training, production and dissemination of scientific knowledge as well as dissemination of learning practices and objects oriented and aiming to improve the quality of primary education in the referred school.

Understanding Metrics In Agile Methodology
Abstract
For a long time in the software industry, agile methodologies have become the market leader in the software development process due to its better return on investment (ROI) and risk-driven behavior. Agile has several methods like DSDM, Scrum and XP (Extreme Programming). Scrum is one of the most common methods in agile for its flexibility and simplicity. We can define Scrum as an iterative framework for complex scope of work in the development process. Metrics in scrum focuses on risks, predictability, productivity and progress by using various burn-down and velocity metrics. Scrum has established concrete metric system to analyze the progress of the software development at any given time in the software process. This helps in early risk mitigation, good project management, constant monitoring and controlling and accurate predictions about schedule, budget, and work results.
In the project, we will discuss different metrics available in the scrum method and why they are beneficial for measuring the process. In addition, we would like to study different case studies to understand how these metrics help in better deliver for the product within short time and effective cost.

Abstract
Background: Organizational culture refers to the beliefs and values that have existed in an organization for a long
time, and to the beliefs of the staff and the foreseen value of their work that will influence their attitudes and
behavior. Administrators usually adjust their leadership behavior to accomplish the mission of the organization, and
this could influence the employees’ job satisfaction. It is therefore essential to understand the relationship between
organizational culture, leadership behavior and job satisfaction of employees.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken that focused on hospital nurses in Taiwan. Data was collected
using a structured questionnaire; 300 questionnaires were distributed and 200 valid questionnaires were returned.

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.

Abstract: Constitutionalism as a dimension of the Quality of Work-life has been of paramount importance for
the researchers mostly in the public sector institutions of Jammu and Kashmir because all the universities are
public funded and therefore run by the Government. For the assessment of various parameters, the perception
of the Teachers towards constitutionalism, and Relationship and Co-operation were measured by using a
structured questionnaire prepared in light of the model developed by Parshuram in 1988. However, the
dimensions were further refined and critically examined to further explore new insights in research in quality of
work-life. The sample was taken from the four sate run universities of Jammu and Kashmir to address the
problems pertaining to higher education system. However, the history of constitutionalism incited a new
thinking generally and its impact on several countries in particular. Moreover, the attainment of competitive
advantage by any institution is linked to its interrelation between employees and employers, colleagues and
bosses at work.
Keywords: Quality of work-life, Constitutionalism, Higher education.
I. INTRODUCTION
Quality of work life is a person‟s response to, and satisfaction with, his/her work and the total working
atmosphere. Robbins (1989) defined Quality of work life as “a process by which an organization responds to
employee needs by developing mechanisms to allow them to share fully in making the decisions that design
their lives at work”. Garvin (1984) has divided the concept of quality into five key groups which include, (1)
transcendent (2) product-based (3) user-based (4) manufacturing-based (5) value- based and these concepts are
defined as follows: (1) Transcendent means something that can be instinctively perceived but almost impossible
to put in words such as beauty or love. This interpretation is subjective and related to concept of quality. (2)
Product-based quality means the quality in the elements and characteristics of a product. It is objective and can
be easily measured. (3) User-based quality has main focus on the customer satisfaction of the product. (4)
Manufacturing concept of quality is based on the product configuration or structure so that the detailed
description of the requirements of product design can be made. (5) Value-based quality means better value for
the cost of the product/services. Cheng (1995) is of the opinion that “Education quality is the character of the set
of elements in the input, process, and output of the education system that provides services that completely
satisfy both internal and external strategic constituencies by meeting their explicit and implicit expectations”. In
addition to this Harvey and Green (1993) concluded five determinants of quality in education such as (1) quality
in term of excellence (2) perfection/ consistency (3) fitness for purpose,(4) value for money (5) value-added
activities. The indicators of quality as conceptualized in the service literature remain focused on perceived
quality. Perceived quality is defined as the customer‟s opinion about a products/services overall brilliance or
superiority (Zeithaml, 1987). It differs from objective quality which involves an objective aspect or attribute of
an object or event (Garvin, 1983). Perceived quality is a type of mind- set, related to but not similar to
satisfaction and resulting from a comparison of expected performance with actual performance.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
Singh and Srivastav (2012) examined eight parameters of quality of work life that is tangibility,
responsiveness, safety, communication, reliability, empathy, assurance and comfort. The research was based on
SERVQUAL model. SERVQUAL gap model is usually used to measure the service quality in terms of the
differences between perception of respondents and their expectation. These differences are measured from the
evaluation by the customers from their perception of pre- consumption and post-consumption of a service using
22 items grouped into five dimensions. The measurement of these 22 items developed by Parasuraman et al
(1988) is grouped in five categories such as assurance, responsiveness, reliability, tangibles and empathy. The
results of the study concluded that the model provided for good validation for determining the degree of
satisfaction with the quality of work life in an organization. They further observed that high job satisfaction
2. The Role of Constitutionalism, Relationship and Co-operation in Teacher’s Lives in India – A ..
www.ijhssi.org 10 | Page
represents less gap between the employer perception and employee perception and low job satisfaction
represents high gap between employer and employee perception on several dimensions of quality of work life.
Valizadeh & Ghahremani (2012) studied the relationship between quality of work life and organizational culture
of job holders in university set up. The research was based on Queen and Gareth model and Walton model of
quality of work life dimensions, the study concluded that there is positive and significant relation between
organizational culture and quality of work life of employees. These results depict that organizational culture has
strong impact on indicators of quality of work life. Kheradmand and Nazim, (2010) found direct and significant
relation between various factors of quality of work life like hierarchical, participative and rational organizational
values and employee performance. Therefore in order to improve the performance of employees, mangers
should focus keenly on the aspects of quality of work life. Othman and Lieng, (2009) examined the relationship
between Quality of work life and job satisfaction on the bases of twelve dimensions of quality of work life taken
from Walton and Lewis dimensions of quality of work life, and found positive relationship between quality of
work life dimensions and job satisfaction. Pugalendhi, et.al (2009) Studied the perception of teachers on Quality
of work life in colleges and concluded that there is a significant association between quality of work life and
quality of work life in teaching environment.
Rosser (2004) studied the mid level leaders which include academicians as well as non-academicians
within the structure of higher education institutions. The study concluded that quality of work life has an impact
on morale, satisfaction and employee turnover of midlevel professionals. He further suggested that in order to
retain employees of this level in higher education, institutions need to provide support for professional activities,
career development, recognition of skills, competence and focus should be given to improve relationship
between these professionals and students, seniors‟ faculty and public. The political interference should be
minimized in order to improve the overall quality of work life. Tabassum, (2012) studied the association
between Quality of work life indicators and job satisfaction among university teaching staff and found that the
indicators of quality of work life are positively correlated with job satisfaction.
Brooks (2001) investigated that Quality of work life has two key objectives that is (1) to enhance the
quality of the work experience of job holders and (2) to improve the overall productive outcome of the
organization. In further studies Brooks has defined Quality of work life as the level to which employees can
satisfy their personal needs and at the same time attain organizational commitments and requirements.
Therefore, the concept of employee satisfaction is not only providing people with employment and monetary
benefits but is about providing them with a place where they feel accepted, wanted and appreciated. Ian, (2000)
studied the relationship between employees‟ participation and the quality of work life and result findings
indicate that employees participation is important in decision making as employees feel good when included
in the decision making process.
Sirgy et al (2001) concluded that the main indicators in defining quality of working life are: need
satisfaction based on job requirements, work requirements, supervisory behavior, contributory programmes, and
organizational responsibility. Therefore Quality of work life is based on satisfaction gained through fulfilling
these needs. Furthermore Quality of work life not only influence work life satisfaction but also has an impact on
individual‟s personal life, therefore the quality of work life instruments used in any organization should focus on
the overall well being of an individual. The main parameters of Quality of work life are safe work environment,
fair wages, and equal employment and advancement opportunities to all. Furthermore employee job satisfaction
is related to wages, work hours and working conditions (Mirvis and Lawler, 1984). Cohen and Rosenthal,
(1980) viewed Quality of work life as a deliberate attempt to bring an enhanced labour management, and co-
operation among employees to look into the issues that hinders job satisfaction and organizational performance.
In consistent to this, Keith (1989) defined Quality of Work Life as favourableness or unfavourableness of a job
environment for people. His main focus was on those jobs which can develop human resource and improve
production.
Research objectives
1. To assess the various parameters of quality of work life in higher educational institutions.
2. To measure the perception of teaching staff towards quality of work life in higher education.
III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In the present study, both primary and secondary sources of data were used. The instrument used to
collect primary data was structured questionnaire that was developed by the research team based on the
literature review on the relevant topics of study. In addition to this secondary data was collected from journals,
magazines, books and internet. The research design was adopted to address the aims and objectives which were
both descriptive and analytical in nature. According to Leedy & Ormrod (2005), participants will be more
truthful in responding to questions in a questionnaire as it allows the participants to remain anonymous as
opposed to personal interviews therefore; the questionnaire approach was used as the main instrument. An
3. The Role of Constitutionalism, Relationship and Co-operation in Teacher’s Lives in India – A ..

adapted version of quality of work life model developed by Walton 1975 and has been utilized for present study
as it is an established framework for the measurement of general quality of work life. This framework has been
extensively used and tested across a wide range of public and private sector services. The objective of the
questionnaire designed was to gather the information related to perception of respondents about the quality of
work life provided by the university administration in this research.
IV. DATA ANALYSIS
Hypothesis 1: Relationship and cooperation at work as a dimension of Quality of Work Life (QWL) is
significantly poor in the Universities of J&K.
Relationship and cooperation at work place
The descriptive statistics in table 1 shows that overall mean score for dimension, relationship and
cooperation of different sample universities has remained 3.77 with 0.71 standard deviation. Therefore it can be
concluded that respondents perceived good level of satisfaction regarding relationship and cooperation at their
respective institution. The Anova indicates that „p‟ value for dimension relationship and cooperation (0.000) is
less than 0.05 with F-value of 19.419, therefore alternate hypothesis is accepted, which depicts that quality of
work life is significantly poor with respect relationship and cooperation at work. Moreover the variable wise
descriptive statistics from the table 1 shows that the mean score ranged between 3.52- 4.02 with the variable
willingness of management to solve problems and relationship with other colleagues scoring the least and
highest. The attainment of competitive advantage by any institution is linked to its interrelation between
employees and employers, colleagues and bosses at work. Employees build up optimistic attitudes when there is
good cooperation and relationship at work places. Optimistic attitudes such as dedication and reliability may
lead to increase in the level of effectiveness and efficiency pessimistic attitudes can result in poor performance
and low efficiency.

Hypothesis 2: Constitutionalism at work place as a dimension of Quality of Work Life (QWL) is significantly
poor in the Universities of J&K.
V. CONSTITUTIONALISM
The analysis of descriptive statistics from table 2 shows the mean score of dimension, constitutionalism
ranged between 3.35 to 3.54, with freedom of expression and realistic statues scoring the least and highest.
Therefore it can be concluded that the respondents of all the four sample universities shows moderate level to
satisfaction with regard to constitutionalism. Further statistical analysis revealed that the quality of work life is
not significantly good as the significance for the dimension has remained 0.000 at 5% level of significance with
F-value of 16.918, revealing that the alternate hypothesis has been accepted. Moreover the statement wise „p‟
value for the dimension constitutionalism indicates, the significant difference on the variable, rights of the
employees (0.00), freedom of expression (0.000), well equipped library (0.000) and arrangement for
refreshment and entertainment (0.00), realistic and favorable employees (0.000) the difference in the perception
of respondents of four sample universities can be attributed to the fact that these institutions might have
following the different guidelines when it comes to legal aspects of quality of work life.

VI. CONCLUSIONS
It can be concluded that respondents perceived good level of satisfaction regarding relationship and
cooperation at their respective institution. The ANOVA indicates that „p‟ value for dimension relationship and
cooperation (0.000) is less than 0.05 with F-value of 19.419, therefore alternate hypothesis is accepted, which
depicts that quality of work life is significantly poor with respect to relationship and cooperation at work.
Moreover the variable wise descriptive statistics from the table 1 shows that the mean score ranged between
3.52- 4.02 with the variable willingness of management to solve problems and relationship with other colleagues
scoring the least and highest. The history of constitutionalism incites a new thinking generally and its impact on
several countries in particular. A fresh perspective is required to shed light on all the counties with a
constitutional history. In our research the findings reveal that Sher-e-Kashmir university of Agriculture sciences
and technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-K) has the highest mean score of 3.77 which depicts the good amount of
satisfaction regarding employees‟ rights, followed by Jammu University (3.74) which also shows a good level of
5. The Role of Constitutionalism, Relationship and Co-operation in Teacher’s Lives in India – A ..

satisfaction. Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agriculture sciences and technology Jammu (SKUAST-J) and
Kashmir University (KU) has the mean score of 3.56 and 3.03 respectively, which shows an average level of
satisfaction regarding rights of the employees. In the sense the universities Act and bi-laws lack uniformity and
needed to be revised. Also, the respondents of all the four sample universities show moderate level of
satisfaction with regard to constitutionalism. Further statistical analysis revealed that the quality of work life is
not significantly good as the significance for the dimension has remained 0.000 at 5% level of significance with
F-value of 16.918.
VII. LIMITATIONS
Due to time and budget constraints, our samples used in this study are limited to academic staff only,
other employees who work in the permanent as well as the adhoc capacities in different universities in Jammu
and Kashmir were not included in the sample. To include them in the study, will require more resources.
Therefore, the generalization of our findings is limited to teaching faculty only. Further study can focus on
additional exploratory, qualitative, and empirical research on the impact of job satisfaction on quality of work
life. Future studies may include many other aspects such as effect of quality work life on job performance,
efficiency and effectiveness present in higher educational scenario.
