Causes of Attrition of B-school Faculty Members at Bangalore, India: An Empirical Study | Chapter 5 | Progress in Language, Literature and Education Research Vol. 9

 

In the scenario of increasing demand for management education, the number of B-schools has mushroomed, but unfortunately, required quality is not maintained, which has led to a lack of job opportunities and high expectations from employers. Knowing the dearth of quality education and increased rate of faculty member attrition in the last few years with the increase in the number of B-schools in Bangalore, the management has the challenge of conjoining its goals with the faculty aspirations, in order to successfully overcome the problem of high attrition and attracting and retaining the best performers. To solve the problem of attrition of faculty members, retention of faculty members is inevitable for the success of B-schools. In order to ensure quality education, there is a need for strategies for recruiting and retaining talented faculty members. The researcher has used 12 variables/dimensions to address the research questions. For the study, the sample size is 455 (407 faculty members from VTU and BU affiliated B-schools and 48 management members from the same VTU and BU affiliated B-schools). The proposed study is a descriptive qualitative research. The investigation is carried out at B-schools affiliated with VTU and BU in the city of Bangalore. The data collected is tabulated and analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 version, correlation analysis, group statistics, and ANOVA with more emphasis on factor analysis, percentage and ranking methods. To know in detail the general causes of attrition of faculty members in B-schools and its impact on individuals and organizations has also been studied and presented.

The important findings depicted that the majority of the management respondents agree that the attrition is less. But the majority of the faculty members, have agreed that, they joined the institution because of vacant positions, and this has recorded the highest percentage against the joining of faculty members because of the increase in the intake of students. An interaction with a few ex-faculty members, based on their exit interviews in a few institutions revealed that there is a gap between the responses of management and faculty members. The need of the hour for every B-school is, motivating and retaining such faculty members and to think and adopt a vigorous human resource policy which would really give confidence about the institute in their minds. Faculty members are keen on such strategic career moves which assure employment and satisfaction towards job security.

Regressive Alterations of Teeth and their Management: A Review | Chapter 7 | Advanced Concepts in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 3

 The aim concerning this article search out have an understanding about the different types of molar wear and their causes. This will authorize in effective stop and play an integral duty in management also. Regressive alteration is a multifactorial affliction that causes enamel and dentine deficit. Erosion, scrape, abfraction, attrition and friction are common causes, or a alliance of these lesions. Diagnosis and management of these turned around alterations of teeth is essential for long-term functionality of the stomatognathic structure in addition to for the comfort of the patient.  With intervals of venture and inactivity, backward changes progress over time. Restorations concede possibility be necessary, but highest in rank way to longer the existence of a tooth is still through stop. When making a diagnosis and prescribing situation, it is crucial to have a complete understanding of the causes, manifestations, and indicators of these lesions.

Assessment of Type and Severity of Tooth Wear in Geriatric Patients: A Clinical Survey | Chapter 9 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 5

 In the dental literature, there has been a growing interest in tooth wear. Tooth wear is common in all dentitions. The number of elderly people experiencing problems with tooth wear is growing. A clinical survey was conducted in Geriatric patients to assess the type and severity of tooth wear. A total of 148 patents were surveyed, with 128 men and 40 women ranging in age from 60 to 80 years. A questionnaire was used to record the history. Based on the responses to all of these questions, the patients were assigned to one of the etiological categories listed below. To determine the type of tooth wear, attrition, abrasion, erosion, a combination of tooth wear, and a clinical examination were performed. Out of 148 patients, 148 had complete tooth wear, 129 had attrition, 14 had abrasion, 5 had erosion, and 82 had a combination of tooth wear. 62 patients received a Grade I, 38 patients received a Grade II, 28 patients received a Grade III, and three patients received a Grade IV. It is critical to understand the epidemiological survey of tooth wear in geriatric patients in the Indian population.

PLS-SEM Based Service Quality and Satisfaction Analysis in Sri Lanka's Open Distance Learning | Chapter 6 | Insights into Economics and Management Vol. 9

 In today's Higher Education (HE) field, Students' Perceived Service Quality (SPSQ) and Students' Satisfaction (SSAT) in Open Distance Learning (ODL) are well-known qualities. On various reasons, a large number of research papers have explored various sorts of factors. The ODL students come from a variety of family backgrounds, including cultural, social, and technological skill levels, and they all lack fundamental educational admission criteria. This must take into account how HE institutions might combine their diverse offerings with quality-added features to gain a competitive advantage in terms of student satisfaction. When compared to the increase in the number of registered students year after year, the number of students finishing the course or graduating is decreasing. Most colleges and higher education institutions have struggled with student retention and attrition issues, and have rushed to develop solutions based on the notions of service quality and satisfaction. The primary goal of this research is to identify the major elements that influence the SPSQ and SSAT. The modified SERVQUAL components will be examined in relation to the SPSQ and SSAT in this study. Assurance, Empathy, Responsiveness, Reliability, and Website Content were the independent variables, while Students' Perceived Service Quality and Satisfaction in ODL in the OUSL were the dependent factors. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 760 undergraduate students at the Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL) in six major regional centers around the island. In Sri Lanka, the OUSL is the only university that operates under the ODL system. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the analysis. The SPSQ and Reliability, Responsiveness, and Website Content all have important correlations. SSAT's correlations with Reliability and Website Content, as well as the relationship between SPSQ and SSAT, are also noteworthy. The SPSQ has an R2 of 0.244 (24%) and the SSAT has an R2 of 0.549. (55 percent ). The same study could be proposed as a future study with more service quality characteristics, as well as a longitudinal data collection method at regional centers to learn more about service quality and satisfaction, which influence student retention and completion. The inconsequential relationships that students have bestowed onto their teaching staff the attributes of Assurance and Empathy. The other three service qualities (responsiveness, reliability, and website content) must be taken into account and given special attention in order to improve the service quality of the offered service.
