IS THE STRESS LEVEL TOO HIGH AT ENTRY LEVEL IN TODAY's CORPORATE ENVIRONMENT?

Job Injuries

Workers who were extremely aggravated were 5x more likely to be injured than their non-aggravated counterparts.

Anger increases your odds of injuring another co-worker and yourself.

Career Damage

People who are prone to anger have more jobs over their lifetime due to quitting, getting fired, or being forced to take whatever comes along.

Adults who had anger problems as children and teenagers leave school more often than their non-angry counterparts, leaving them with a disadvantage in today's global marketplace.

Anger can cause you to engage in counterproductive work behavior. Behaviors such as coming to work late without permission, making fun of someone at work, behaving nastily to a co-worker, blaming others for your mistakes, and trying to look busy while doing nothing are all examples of counterproductive work behavior.

NEW STRATEGY FOR IDENTIFICATION OF APPROPRIATE FUNCTION FOR DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS:

Place 400 bricks in a closed room.
Put your new employees in the room and close the door.
Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours.
Analyse the situation you find:-
a. If they are counting the bricks, put them in the Accounting Department.
b. If they are recounting them, put them in Auditing.
c. If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in Engineering.
d. If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in Planning.
e. If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in Operations.
f. If they are sleeping, put them in Security.
g. If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in Information Technology.
h. If they are sitting idle, put them in Human Resources.
i. If they say they have tried different combinations, they are looking for more, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in Sales.
j. If they have already left for the day, put them in Marketing.
k. If they are staring out of the window, put them in Strategic Planning.
l. If they are talking to each other, and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in Top Management.

Why is that even States like Gujarat fails to create jobs despite high investment ?

Gujarat’s rapid industrial development in manufacturing is apparently not helping in employment generation, as growth rate of employment falls way below the high rate of investment, a study revealed.
The study on the dynamics of development in Gujarat suggested that employment is the


biggest casualty of “successful manufacturing growth in the state.”
Chandigarh-based Institute of Development and Communication (IDC) has conducted the study on various sectors like industrial development and employment generation, health, education and agriculture.

Prof. Atul Sood of JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) has conducted the study which is being published as a book titled “Gujarat: Poverty, Amidst Prosperity.”

Around 10 researchers have studied different sectors and compiled their research papers in the book.

“The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of employment, for the period of 1993-94 to 2004-05, using NSSO data, suggests that employment grew at 2.69% per annum, whereas for 2004-05 to 2009-10 it came down to almost zero. Employment has fallen in the manufacturing and primary sector from 2005-2010,” the study revealed.

“Manufacturing in Gujarat, has been capital intensive, is characterized by low employment generation, slow growth in wages, increasing use of contract workers, and overall reduced position of workers in the manufacturing sector. This worsening condition of workers is accompanied by increasing profitability and growing investment in these sectors.”

The figures provided in the study contradict the claims of Gujarat government, which has always contended that the state is the largest employment provider in the country.

According to the state government, successful Vibrant Gujarat Investment Summits organized by the state have resulted into bringing substantial investment in industrial sector creating more jobs in the state.

Though investment is indeed higher in the state, but it has mainly been into mega projects like refineries and petrochemicals, which are capital intensive but don’t create jobs.

“Evaluating the experience of development in Gujarat, particularly in the last decade or so, the study tells us that Gujarat is a story where goals like social equality, sustainable livelihoods, access to education and health, justice and peace have been missed by governance in high-speed lane,” said IDC director Dr Pramod Kumar.

He added that the fact that the performance of the state of Gujarat on investment, infrastructure, agriculture and manufacturing looks impressive on a first look.

However, there is nothing to boast about, if we look at the outcomes on employment, poverty, inequality, consumption, education and health.

“In fact, the poor performances of the state on those fronts, that matter the most to people, compel us to relook at the growth strategy itself,” Dr Kumar said.

CHENNAI: The Common Admission Test (CAT) remains the litmus test for nearly all MBA aspirants in the country and about 2.15 lakh candidates have taken the test today. However, not all B-schools accept CAT scores. This forces candidates to sit for an average of 2-5 tests, spending around 6,000-10,000 on applications and registration for various tests.

Only 124 institutions, including six in Tamil Nadu, have registered to use CAT scores for admission to their management programmes. About 91 institutions accept scores from the Xavier's Aptitude Test, while 319 institutions accept the Management Aptitude Test scores. TN has the Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test (Tancet) for MBA and MCA courses.

A single entrance test for management courses has so far been elusive. Even the pan-India Common Management Aptitude Test of the All India Council for Technical Education, to cut down on multiple entrance exams across the country, is only grudgingly accepted by institutions under the AICTE and usually not by standalone institutions. AICTE-approved institutions also accept scores of the other more popular tests.

"Students zero in on 2-5 tests, depending on their capability and the kind of institutions accepting the scores," said Ajay Antony, director of TIME coaching centre, Chennai. B-schools in the country can be segregated into three or four bands depending on the quality of students, faculty, infrastructure and industry recognition of the institution.

Students say they attempt multiple tests because they can present their best scores to the institute. "Everybody tries to get into IIMs, so CAT is compulsory. The other tests may not be as tough, so there are chances of high scores and this makes our profile look good," said V Santhanam, an MBA aspirant.

Management institutions say they accepted scores of more than one admission test as it gave them a good mix of candidates. Great Lakes Institute of Management executive director S Sriram said, "We accept CAT and GMAT scores, because we want to draw in students who want to go abroad for their MBA." CAT will be held in 61 centres across the country, including three in Chennai and one in Coimbatore.
