The ideas S K Chakraborty presented in his article “The Will-to-Yoga: Key to- Better Quality of Work Life,” published in the April-June 1986 issue, have drawn several responses from our readers. Some of them were published in the Letters to the Editor in the October-December 1986 issue along with a reply from the author. In this issue we publish three more responses. In the first instance, L N Jhunjhunwala narrates his experiences of putting some of Chakraborty's ideas into practice in his company. In the second response, R Jayaraman Iyer wonders whether a majority of the executives who need to practise the yoga concepts can do so. On the other hand, a minority of executives who can, do not specifically need the concepts, he states. Even so, he feels that the dissemination of concepts themselves and attempts at praGtising them would help. The final piece by P K Srivastava provjdes additional insights into some of the concepts of yoga and their impact on organizational life when they are put into practice. Vikalpa hopes that this exchange of ideas and experiences clarifies the issues and improves managerial practices.

From a study of organizational situations which indicate the hidden realities of Quality of Work Life (QWL) in our organizations, the author focuses on the point that management academics who play an important role in ‘educating’ managers may wish to examine QWL in the light of a paradigm radically different from the one currently used. This alternative paradigm, based on a study of Indian psychophilosophy, is offered from a strictly problem-solving point of view. The author suggests that the will-to-yoga can be the only viable process for toning up QWL.

In this Perspectives piece, N R. Sheth, a sociologist and an expert on industrial relations', reviews a recent book by S K Chakraborty, entitled Human Response in Organizations: Towards the Indian Ethos. In doing so, he presents the background to the search for models for managing human response in organizations, in the American and Indian environments. The evolution of management theory in the west shows how important it is for academicians and managers in India to develop jointly more effective models for managing human response in organizations to increase harmony and productivity. In view of the importance of the subject, Vikalpa is featuring this book review in its Perspectives feature. An article by S K Chakraborty on the quality of work life which rollows the book review clarifies the issues further and suggests some key ideas for a fundamental change in our perspective. These ideas will certainly need concretization through discussion and practice. We hope that managers and academicians will participate in this exercise in full measure.
