    (Journal of Contemporary Research in Management, Volume 7(4), Year 2012, Pages 17-26, 2012) Paramanandam P; Jayanthi
    The objective of the study was to study the relationship between hardiness and state anxiety. Hardiness encompasses three component traits - commitment, control and challenge. A convenience sample consisting of 60 managers working in Textile industry participated in the study. Questionnaires were used to assess hardiness and state anxiety. The collected data was analysed with Mean, Standard Deviation, Correlation, regression and ANOVA tests. A high level of hardiness and a low level of anxiety were seen among the male respondents. A high level of hardiness and a low level of anxiety were seen among the Post graduate respondents. A low level of hardiness and a high level of anxiety were observed in the 21-30 years experience group. There is a significant difference in commitment, control, challenge, and anxiety among the respondents of different age groups and also different experience groups. There is a significant positive correlation between commitment and control and also between commitment and challenge. There is a significant negative correlation between anxiety and commitment and between anxiety and control and also between anxiety and challenge. Nearly seventy two percent of the variation in anxiety is affected by commitment, control and challenge (hardiness). From this study it was concluded that hardy personalities are less anxious than others.

    SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING AMONG B-SCHOOL FACULTY
    (Journal of Applied Management Research, Volume 3(1), Year 2014, Pages 71-78, 2014) P, Paramanandam; Jayanthi
    A person’s cognitive and affective evaluation of his or her life is called subjective well-being (Diener, Lucas, & Oishi, 2003). A person who has a high level of satisfaction with his or her life, and who experiences a greater positive affect and little or less negative affect, would be deemed to have a high level of SWB. The present study was aimed at studying the subjective well-being among the B-School faculty and differences in well-being among the respondents of different demographic characteristics. A convenience sample consisting of thirty six faculty members working in various B-Schools participated in the study. Questionnaire method was used for data collection. The collected data was analysed with Mean, Standard Deviation, ANOVA, correlation and regression tests. A higher level of SWB was observed among the respondents of 40-50 years age group; female; above 30000 income group; and joint family. There was a significant difference in SWB among the respondents of different age, family type, and income groups. There was a significant correlation between the chronological age of the respondents and their SWB. Regression test revealed that eighteen per cent of the variance in subjective well-being was explained by age.
