Analyzing the way organizations function and the processes that operate within these organizations is an important managerial responsibility. We have adopted a people-oriented approach called organizational energy to develop a simple process for diagnosing the level of satisfaction of scientists working in R&D laboratories. Psychic energy as reflected in different work activities in an organization is manifested in energy generating and energy draining activities that can be reduced to an energy count. The present study assesses the use of mental energy by scientific personnel working in three national laboratories in India with the objective of increasing the energy count for improving organizational effectiveness. We hope that the results can be used as the basis for initiating action to improve the motivation and utilization of scientists in India, to support the overall goal of self-reliance in science and technology.

challenging task for most banks. Numerous approaches are used to assess financial stability to determine the operation of the banks under stress conditions and to identify the indicators that affect the financial developments of the system. The relationship between the macroeconomic variables and financial markets can be assessed by performing stability mapping. Risk management can be performed by accurate identification of stability indicators, appropriate assessment of deterioration in asset quality, and other economic aspects. Financial stability reports (FSRs) and heat maps are used in several banks to assess risk factors that affect financial stability using minimal indicators. This paper provides a detailed study of the banking sector's stability mapping schemes used for risk management. Mapping schemes like banking stability map (BSM), Global financial stability map (GFSM), Self-Organizing Map (SOM), and construction of financial stability maps (FSM) are discussed. An overall evaluation of underlying parameters and inherent risk factors that affect the banking stability is performed using a banking stability map. The indicators involved in the profitability of the capital and banking sector and the financing and liquidity of the system are discussed thoroughly. Stability mapping enables appropriate risk management by identifying the crucial indicators for shock absorption in banking.
