Perceptions of Indian scientists on work climate, value system and organisational energy

This report attempts to elucidate the potential of plant seed extract assisted synthesis of graphite‐based zinc oxide nanoparticles (C‐ZnO NPs) towards removal of chromium(VI) ions from water samples. The graphite‐based zinc oxide (C‐ZnO) composites were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The C‐ZnO nanocomposites have found to remove chromium from the sample through an adsorption process. The sensitivity of chromium removal through adsorption is found to be in the range of 40 to 240 mg. The adsorption behaviour was found to be fitting with Langmuir isotherm model and the adsorption reaction follows pseudo second‐order kinetics.

“…Any change in the structure or the process of working, was premised on some sort of assessment that an on-going system suffered from inadequacy or absence of some facilities that needed to be mended, rectified and bridged (De, 1981). Of the many books and articles about the management of enterprises, only a very few have even acknowledged that scientists' working styles make a difference (Guion, 1973;Johnston, 1976;Dhawan, 1990). From the beginning, research on managing research and development (R&D) has encompassed the innovations that result from it.…”

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.
