This research seeks to investigate the psychometric properties of UWES-S in the Indian context. Two studies are reported. Study 1 (N = 207) investigates the 14-item UWES-S for factorial and convergent validity, and internal consistency. Study 2 (N = 279) revalidates findings from study 1 and examines relationships with burnout and life satisfaction. The three-factor morphology of UWES-S stands validated across both the studies. Evidence for convergent validity and internal consistency has been provided. The research also proposes a nine-item version of UWES-S based on psychometric properties and item analysis. Further, student engagement is found to be negatively associated with student burnout and positively related to student life satisfaction. This research has a few limitations. Data for analysis has been obtained only from management students. Further, predictive validity has been tested with burnout and life satisfaction only.

N.; Satish Krishnan Disengagement at work is proving to be a source of continued trouble for business organizations. Various estimates suggest that in excess of 70% of the workforce is either passively or actively disengaged, which in turn subjects the organizations to enormous financial burden. Regretfully, this problem has not found sufficient intellectual resonance in the academia. Therefore, employing conservation of resources (COR; Hobfoll, 1989) as the guiding theory, in this research, we conduct an integrative literature review to consolidate the extant approaches to disengagement at work. Apart from explaining the construct, we also identified its antecedents, moderating influences, and outcomes. Implications for human resource development (HRD) research and practice have been discussed. We believe that such an attempt is likely to encourage an informed debate on the subject in the academic domain, while helping practitioners identify actionable interventions.

The emergence of the organizational virtualness has changed the HR dimensions and its role in the organization . New organizational forms are emerging that are different from traditional organizations . This paper attempts to provide a model of HR challenges for organizations in different stages of virtualness . First part of the paper lists the characteristics of emerging organizational forms and the changing role of HR due to the changes brought about by the application of ICI . Based on Venkatraman & Henderson (1998) three vector, three-stage model of organizational virtualness HR challenges for each vector as a continuum across stages are identified and enumerated in the second part of the paper .
