ORGANISATION CULTURE The common values, attitudes, and customs that influence how work is done within an organization are referred to as its organizational culture. It includes the goal, vision, and values of the organization and affects how employees behave, make decisions, and interact. In addition to fostering a sense of belonging and helping employees align with the company's goals, a good organizational culture can have a substantial impact on overall performance and satisfaction. It is, essentially, the character of the company that directs how its members interact and work together. Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to examine the impact of workplace culture on hospital nurses' quality of life. The study looks at how the organizational culture of the workplace affects nurses' quality of life at work and how that affects their performance and job satisfaction in the future. Methodology: A systematic questionnaire was filled out by 375 nurses working in public and private hospitals in Kerala, India, in order to collect data. A survey is employed to gather information. SPSS was utilized for the analysis, and the sample t test and one-way ANNOVA were employed. Findings: In addition to providing benefits to the workforce, a strong organizational culture in nursing directly improves the standard of patient care. Nurses are more likely to feel appreciated and involved when they work in a courteous and encouraging setting. This increases contentment at work, which lowers turnover and burnout. Fostering a culture of mutual respect and teamwork among nursing staff members improves collaboration. Improved problem-solving skills in inpatient care and increased operational efficiency can result from effective teamwork. A culture that values lifelong learning and growth motivates nurses to seek more training and skill development, resulting in their professional and personal development. Positive organizational cultures frequently have greater retention rates. In a supportive and aligned workplace, nurses are more likely to stick around. Implications: The organizational culture within the nursing community has profound implications for the quality of work life (QWL) for nurses. The organizational culture significantly influences the quality of work life for nurses. A positive culture can lead to increased job satisfaction, reduced stress, and improved career development, while a negative culture can contribute to burnout and dissatisfaction.

Job satisfaction, work-life balance, and institutional commitment are ever-researched topics in organizational psychology. Schools and colleges require satisfied teachers who are committed to their organization for the wellbeing of the students and society at large. The dedication and job satisfaction of educators are key factors in the development of educational institutions. Thus, school teachers' organizational commitment, work-life balance, and occupation cheerfulness have been seen as crucial elements for the growth of the educational system and the success of the educational institution. The current study concentrated on the organizational commitment, worklife balance, and job satisfaction of Keralan higher secondary school teachers. It examines how sociodemographic characteristics affect higher secondary school teachers in Kerala's organizational commitment and work-life balance. A systematic questionnaire utilizing Google Forms has been used to gather data from 224 higher secondary teachers employed by the government and assisted sectors. For analysis, t-tests, ANOVA, etc. are employed. The study concludes that work-life balance and organizational commitment were not significantly correlated with age or gender, but that work-life balance and organizational categories were significantly correlated. Teachers in government higher secondary schools have a far better work-life balance than those in aided institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents an extensive bibliometric examination of the literature on job satisfaction among bank employees. It sheds light on the theoretical and conceptual framework in this area to pinpoint the most widely used sources, authors, documents, and countries. Using the Scopus database, 279 papers published between 1974 and 2023 were identified and examined using VoS Viewer and "bibliometrix," an R-tool. There has been an increase in interest in this topic among scholars, as seen by the fact that more than 60% of the studies have been published in the past nine years. The paper reveals that 84.22% of the publications were multi-authored and that Karatepe and International Journal of Bank Marketing are the most wellknown researcher and source, respectively. Given that India is the most productive nation and that Eastern Mediterranean University is a leading affiliation in this subject, it is clear that developing nations are also keen on this subject. The topics of self-efficacy, service quality, and organizational citizenship behavior with job satisfaction were found to be significant and have not yet been fully explored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Single crystal of Zinc sulphate doped with Magnesium sulphate, a nonlinear material, was grown from aqua solution by slow evaporation method at room temperature. Good quality single crystals were grown by slow evaporation technique (four weeks) and the crystals subjected to single crystal X-ray diffraction and FT-IR analyses to confirm the formulation of new crystals. The TGA and DTA reveal that the material has good thermal stability. The UV–Vis spectrum confirms that the material has wide optical transparency and the existence of the second harmonic generation has also been ascertained by Kurtz powder method.
