Socioemotional Outcomes

Socioeconomic status (SES) is one of the most widely studied constructs in the social sciences. Several ways of measuring SES have been proposed, but most include some quantification of family income, parental education, and occupational status. Research shows that SES is associated with a wide array of health, cognitive, and socioemotional outcomes in children, with effects beginning prior to birth and continuing into adulthood. A variety of mechanisms linking SES to child well-being have been proposed, with most involving differences in access to material and social resources or reactions to stress-inducing conditions by both the children themselves and their parents. For children, SES impacts well-being at multiple levels, including both family and neighborhood. Its effects are moderated by children’s own characteristics, family characteristics, and external support systems.

Abstract Research studies in the past have analyzed the significance of demographic and socioeconomic status influencing investment preference and behavior. However, no study has focused on analyzing their impact on ‘Investment motives’. Hence, this study examines the investment motives and analyzes the significance of the impact of demographic and socioeconomic factors on investment motives. The study uses factor analysis and Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) for this purpose. The data are collected from 753 investors through a structured questionnaire. Results of the study show that investment motives are grouped into six categories i.e., nature of the investment, future financial needs, investor characteristics, safety and stability, investor behavior, and investor options. Further, there exists a main effect of employment, marital status, location, and the number of earning members on investment motives. Likewise, there exists an interaction effect of age and location, gender and income, and age and income on investment motives. The study adds to the existing literature by comprehensively analyzing all the demographic, socioeconomic status with the investment motives.

Every management face challenges daily, but there are some challenges which are customary to every management. One from such common problems confronted by the management while managing employees (teachers) include - Job satisfaction & Employee Loyalty. The invaluable resource that any institute possesses is its work force; indeed, an employee’s longer work experience at the same corporate enhances his worth. The primary qualities a teacher possesses include being introspective, being cooperative, being directive and being expressive. A syllabus which is effective and a curriculum that is well planned is only fruitful with availability of teachers who are meticulous in their duties. Knowledge alone cannot be the basis for gauging the ability of a teacher. There are other factors too like whether the teacher is comfortable in handling the profession that impacts the effectiveness of the system. With many research works having taken place in this zone with multiple organizations, what we lack is a distinct research on satisfaction at job which needs to be taken up.Hence, we conducted a research where we took a sample size containing 50 teachers and performed the survey on the premise of systematic sampling. The method followed in the process of acquiring and assembly of data was structured questionnaire method.

The general objectives of this study are to identify demographic and socio-economic status of Dalits and to find out causes of deprivation of Dalits people in the community. They worked as agricultural labour and service work. Their income is less than their expenditure. Most of them are uneducated but nowadays, the level of education has increased so that their children go to school and college. Only 39 percent were literate and only 7 percent Dalits have passed SLC and +2. They give priority on arrange marriage. Youth generation doesn't like the traditional occupation and skills. They use a lot of alcohol (Jaad and Raski) in the festivals and rituals ceremony however the economic condition of Dalit is poor so many children of them are forced to dropout from schools because their parents cannot afford their education fees. The social status of the females in the Dalit community is very low than the males in the society. After the father's death all the properties is transferred to the son. The main causes for degrading status of Dalits are due to poverty, lack of education and lack of social awareness. So far, there have not been any kinds of policies and plans to uplift the Dalit community in this area.

Self Administered Questionnaire

This study assesses employee perceptions of the influence of diversity dimensions (race, gender, religion, language, sexual orientation, attitudes, values, work experience, physical ability, economic status, personality) on their interactiions with co-workers as well as on their organization in its daily operations. These perceptions were also compared and gender related correlates were assessed. The study was undertaken in a public sector Electricity Department in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The population includes 100 employees in the organization, from which a sample of 81 was drawn using simple random sampling. Data was collected using a self-developed, pre-coded, self-administered questionnaire whose reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings reflect that employees perceive that their interactions with co-workers are most likely to be influenced by attitudes, work experience and personality and that daily organizational operations are most likely to be influenced by race, work experience and attitudes. Furthermore, religion and sexual orientation are perceived as having the least influence on co-worker interaction and day-to-day organizational operations. In the study it was also found that employees perceive that race followed by gender influences day-to-day organizational operations to a larger extent than it influences co-worker interactions. Recommendations made have the potential to enhance the management of workforce diversity
