Abstract: This study investigates the impact of participatory monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) practices on the performance of radiotherapy bunker installation projects in Kenya’s regional cancer centers. Recognizing the complexity of such health infrastructure projects, the research focused on key PM&E practices: stakeholder involvement, information sharing, capacity building, and joint decision-making. Guided by participatory development theory, stakeholder theory, program theory, and results-based management theory, the study employed a descriptive design with 110 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected via semi-structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple linear regression. Findings revealed that all four PM&E practices positively and significantly influenced project performance, with capacity building having the strongest effect. The model explained 28.5% of the variance in project performance. The study recommends strengthening PM&E practices especially capacity building, stakeholder engagement, information sharing, and collaborative decision-making to enhance the implementation and outcomes of complex health infrastructure projects.

Keywords: Project Performance, Stakeholder Engagement, Capacity Building, Health Infrastructure Projects, Joint Decision-Making.

Abstract: Performance measurement systems play an important role in improving operational efficiency and organisational productivity in manufacturing industries. These systems help organisations monitor operational activities, evaluate employee performance, and ensure that production processes are aligned with organisational objectives. The present study examines the effectiveness of performance metrics used in the Operations Department of Onload Gears Private Limited, Chennai.

The study adopts a descriptive research design to analyse employee perceptions regarding the existing performance measurement system. Primary data were collected from 120 employees working in the operations department through a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analysed using statistical tools such as percentage analysis, Chi-square test, and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).

The results of the study indicate that a majority of employees are aware of the performance metrics implemented within the organisation. However, a considerable number of respondents believe that operational targets are sometimes difficult to achieve and that improvements are required in the current performance measurement system. The statistical analysis further reveals that demographic variables such as gender, educational qualification, and annual income do not significantly influence employee performance levels, whereas age shows a significant relationship with the level of KPI identification.

The study concludes that improving communication of Key Performance Indicators, strengthening preventive maintenance practices, and implementing digital performance monitoring systems can enhance operational efficiency and employee productivity within the organisation.

Abstract: Employee attrition represents one of the most persistent and costly challenges confronting the global hospitality industry, where service delivery quality is inseparably linked to workforce stability and employee commitment. This study empirically examines the determinants of workforce turnover and evaluates the effectiveness of existing retention practices at Holiday Inn Chennai OMR IT Expressway, an InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) brand property. Adopting a descriptive research design, primary data were gathered from 100 employees across multiple operational departments through a structured questionnaire. Statistical analysis encompassed percentage analysis, Chi-Square testing, and Karl Pearson's Correlation. The findings establish that poor work-life balance (70% rated it Poor or Very Poor), inadequate recognition (70% experience it rarely or never), and limited career advancement opportunities are the predominant attrition drivers, with 70% of respondents having actively considered resignation. Chi-Square analysis confirms a statistically significant association between retention preferences and strategy review frequency (chi-squared = 73.63, df = 16, p = 0.010). Correlation analysis reveals a moderate-to-strong positive relationship between training adequacy and work-life balance satisfaction (r = 0.632, p < 0.01). The study concludes that an employee-centric human resource strategy— incorporating flexible scheduling, structured recognition, career development pathways, and periodic strategy reviews — is essential for reducing attrition and sustaining competitiveness in the hospitality sector.

Abstract: Kurukshetra, the battlefield of the Mahabharata and the site of the revelation of the Bhagavad Gita, represents one of India’s most significant spiritual heritage landscapes. Previous pilgrimage tourism studies have largely focused on sustainability, infrastructure development, and visitor satisfaction, while pilgrimage destinations as structured spiritual learning environments for peace-building outcomes have received limited empirical attention. Addressing this gap, the present study conceptualises Kurukshetra as a spiritual learning space and examines the application of Bhagavad Gita based ethical values Swadharma (righteous duty), Nishkama Karma (selfless action), compassion, and inner balance within the pilgrimage tourism experience. The study employed a quantitative cross-sectional research design and collected data from 1,000 pilgrims and visitors at major pilgrimage sites in Kurukshetra. Independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis. The findings reveal statistically significant differences in spiritual learning and peace perception across visitor categories and demonstrate that Gita-based ethical values exert a strong and positive influence on peace-building perception. The study contributes to heritage and pilgrimage tourism literature by positioning pilgrimage destinations as informal spiritual learning spaces capable of fostering ethical reflection, social harmony, and sustainable peace.

Abstract: The research on workplace well-being and smart hiring focuses on understanding how emotional intelligence, HR practices, and organizational culture influence the quality of work life and talent acquisition efficiency. The study relates to the growing need for organizations to create a supportive work environment and to improve hiring strategies in a competitive business landscape. Many of the organizations lack in effective integration of emotional intelligence and structured HR practices, which may affect employee satisfaction, productivity, and hiring outcomes. Employees often experience low quality of work life because of poor organizational culture and lack of emotional support, which in turn impacts retention and performance. Similarly, ineffective hiring strategies and lack of alignment with organizational values reduce the efficiency in talent acquisition. Weak HR practices and absence of emotionally intelligent leadership act as a barrier to both employee well-being and organizational growth. The objective of the study is to analyze the impact of emotional intelligence, HR practices, and organizational culture on quality of work life and talent acquisition efficiency. The sample size of the study is 200. Descriptive research design and convenience sampling method have been used. A structured questionnaire has been used as the primary data collection tool. Simple percentage analysis and ANOVA test have been applied to interpret the data for meaningful findings. The study finds the relationship between emotional intelligence, HR practices, organizational culture, and the quality of work life and hiring efficiency. It is been suggested that organizations should adopt emotionally intelligent leadership, strengthen HR policies, and build a positive work culture through employee engagement programs, training, and digital HR initiatives. It also conclude that emotional intelligence, effective HR practices, and a supportive organizational culture plays a major and important role in enhancing employee well-being and improving the talent acquisition efficiency. The study highlights that organizations focus on these factors so that they would achieve better employee satisfaction, higher retention, and more effective hiring outcomes, that leads to sustainable organizational success.
