The Impact of Work From Home Culture on Employee Productivity and Job Satisfaction

Country- INDIA

Dr. Vaibhav Sharma

PAPER ID: IRJEAS04V14I1001

Published: Jan 2026

Journal: IRJEAS, Volume 14, Issue 1

Pages: 01-10

Abstract:

The shift toward work from home (WFH) arrangements has transformed modern workplaces, particularly following the global disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This empirical study investigates the effects of WFH culture on employee productivity and job satisfaction through primary data collected from a diverse sample of 250 professionals across IT, finance, education, and service sectors in 2025. A quantitative online survey utilized standardized scales to measure key variables, including WFH frequency, self-reported productivity, and job satisfaction. Findings indicate that higher WFH frequency significantly enhances job satisfaction through improved work-life balance and autonomy, while productivity shows positive associations overall, particularly for individual-focused tasks, though moderated by factors like organizational support and task collaboration needs. Regression analysis confirms hypotheses linking WFH intensity to higher satisfaction and moderate productivity gains. These original insights, drawn from post-pandemic stabilized arrangements, support the viability of hybrid models. Practical implications emphasize managerial investments in digital tools, communication training, and well-being support to optimize remote work outcomes.

Vijay Kumar Mishra, Praveen Tyagi

PAPER ID: IRJEAS04V14I1002

Published: Jan 2026

Journal: IRJEAS, Volume 14, Issue 1

Pages: 11-20

Abstract:

Understanding how variations in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) influence geomagnetic activity is essential for comprehending the interactions between the Sun and Earth. This study examines the quantitative relationship between IMF fluctuations and geomagnetic disturbances during Solar Cycle 25, considering both short-term variations and long-term trends. High-resolution data from near-Earth spacecraft, including measurements of IMF vector components and solar wind plasma parameters, were analyzed alongside global geomagnetic indices such as Dst and Kp. Statistical methods, including time-lagged cross-correlation and variance analysis, were applied to evaluate how interplanetary magnetic conditions affect geomagnetic responses throughout the solar cycle. Results indicate that periods of intensified southward IMF and increased magnetic variability are closely linked to elevated geomagnetic activity. Correlation strengths fluctuate systematically over the solar cycle, reflecting changes in solar wind conditions and the large-scale configuration of the solar magnetic field. These findings offer updated insights into solar wind–magnetosphere coupling under current solar conditions and contribute to improved understanding and forecasting of space weather phenomena.

श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता में निहित शिक्षा की प्रासंगिकता का विकसित भारत के परिप्रेक्ष्य में अध्ययन

Country- INDIA

डॉ. संजय कुमार , पूनम यादव

PAPER ID: IRJEAS04V14I1005

Published: Jan 2026

Journal: IRJEAS, Volume 14, Issue 1

Pages: 45-52

Abstract:

वैदिक साहित्य के अंतर्गत स्मृति शाखा की एक सार्वकालिक और बहुआयामी रचना श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता है, जो मानव जीवन के लिए कर्म, ज्ञान और भक्ति का समन्वित मार्ग प्रस्तुत करती है। श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता जय संहिता अर्थात महाभारत के भीष्मपर्व का एक महत्वपूर्ण भाग है जिसमें अर्जुन और श्रीकृष्ण के मध्य हुए संवाद को उपदेशों के माध्यम से उत्कीर्ण किया गया है। वर्तमान कृत्रिम बुद्धि के युग में श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता को केवल एक धार्मिक ग्रंथ के रूप में न देखकर, नैतिक शिक्षा, नेतृत्व विकास, प्रबंधन, प्रशासन और मानसिक स्वास्थ्य के परिप्रेक्ष्य में भी अध्ययन किया जा रहा है। इसके पश्चात भी बदलते सामाजिक, आर्थिक और शैक्षिक  परिदृश्य में श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता के सिद्धांतों के व्यावहारिक अनुप्रयोग पर केंद्रित समग्र अध्ययन की आवश्यकता बनी हुई है और भविष्य के विकसित भारत में भी बनी रहेगी ।

सूचना क्रांति ने मनुष्य के समक्ष अनेकानेक मानसिक और समाजिक चुनौतियों को ला खड़ा किया है जिनका समाधान न मिलने से आज का युवा भ्रमित और तनाव से ग्रसित होता जा रहा है। आध्यात्मिकता भारत का मूल स्वभाव है जो धार्मिक स्थलों पर बड़ते जनसैलाव से भी स्पष्ट होता है । परन्तु ये धार्मिक यात्रायें भी उसकी  मानसिक और सामाजिक चुनौतियों को कम नहीं कर पा रही हैं । अंत में उसकी दृष्टि कुरुक्षेत्र के रण में विरोधी सेनाओं से घिरे और नंदी घोष रथ पर विराजमान योगीराज श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुन के मध्य हुए संवाद की ओर जाती है। यही संवाद श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता के नाम से विश्वविख्यात होता है जिसमें भक्ति योग, ज्ञान योग और कर्म योग की शिक्षा को बहुत ही विस्तृत ढंग से समझाया गया है ।

वैदिक भारत में कर्म योग की ही प्रधानता थी जो समाज की संरचना को भी संतुलित करता था । मानव का निष्काम कर्म ही उसका मूल धर्म था जिसमें भक्ति और योग भी समाहित रहता था । प्रस्तुत शोधपत्र का उद्देश्य श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता में निहित शैक्षिक विचारों की प्रासंगिकता को विकसित भारत के परिप्रेक्ष्य में स्पष्ट करना है।

Comparative Fragility Assessment of Fixed-Base and Base-Isolated G+6 RCC Office Buildings under Seismic Loads in Indian Zone IV

Country- INDIA

Shahzad Anwar, Tabassum Naqvi, M. S. Jafri

PAPER ID: IRJEAS04V14I1006

Published: Jan 2026

Journal: IRJEAS, Volume 14, Issue 1

Pages: 53-77

Abstract:

Seismic Zone IV in India requires an advanced performance-based design approach for RCC buildings, which can protect structures from earthquake damage. The fixed-base systems face major destruction from powerful ground shakes, which demonstrates the need for an efficient seismic protection system. The study investigates the seismic behavior of fixed-base and Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) base-isolated G+6 RCC office buildings through fragility curve development. The analytical model was developed in ETABS and analyzed by Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) in SeismoStruct for seven scaled ground motion records from the PEER NGA database. The development of fragility curves depends on four damage states, which include slight, moderate, extensive, and complete damage levels. The study suggests that the seismic performance of the structure is greatly improved by the isolation of the LRB, and the fragility curve is shifted to higher intensity measures. The median spectral acceleration at the collapse state goes up from 0.62g to 1.18g with a 90% increase in the collapse resistance, while inter-story drift ratios are lowered by as much as 70%. Moreover, the fundamental period of the structure is extended from 0.84s to 2.47s, which is a clear indication of the increased flexibility and energy dissipation. In brief, the findings are in line with the fact that LRB base isolation is a very effective measure in seismic resilience and thus, it is a commendable step towards performance-based design of structures that are indispensable in seismic-prone areas.

PAPER ID: IRJEAS04V14I1008

Published: Jan 2026

Pages: 87-102

Abstract:

The integration of Artificial Intelligence into pharmacy practice represents a paradigm shift with the potential to redefine professional roles, enhance patient outcomes, and optimize healthcare systems. This research paper critically investigates the multifarious applications of AI across the spectrum of pharmacy, from clinical decision support and pharmacovigilance to personalized therapy and administrative efficiency. Employing a methodology of systematic critical analysis of current implementations, peer-reviewed literature, and pilot studies, the paper identifies a core thesis: that AI’s greatest utility lies not in replacing the pharmacist, but in augmenting clinical judgment and freeing professionals from transactional tasks to focus on direct patient care. However, this integration is non-trivial, fraught with significant challenges including data integrity, algorithmic bias, regulatory ambiguities, and ethical concerns regarding patient privacy and autonomy. The findings indicate that while AI tools can dramatically improve medication safety and operational precision, their success is contingent upon robust validation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the evolution of pharmacy education. The paper concludes with strategic recommendations for a phased, ethical implementation framework, emphasizing the indispensable role of the pharmacist as the ultimate interpreter and executor of AI-generated insights. The future scope points towards a hybrid intelligence model, where human expertise and artificial computation coalesce to create a more resilient, patient-centric pharmacy practice.

Integrating linear programming and graph-theoretic models for enhanced optimization: a mathematical and computational analysis

Country- INDIA

Suman Kumar Giri, Dr.Namrata Kaushal

PAPER ID: IRJEAS04V14I1010

Published: Feb 2026

Journal: IRJEAS, Volume 14, Issue 1

Pages: 115-130

Abstract:

However, optimization in large-scale networks increasingly calls for methods that couple the analytical strength of LP with the structural insight afforded by graph theory. Classic LP models give precise algebraic formulations but mostly fail on scalability and structural interpretability over complex, high-dimensional networks. Inversely, graph-theoretic models capture strong representations of connectivity, flow, and topological relations but lack the needed expressive power to model rich constraints. This study develops a Hybrid LP–Graph Optimization Framework that embeds LP formulations within graph-theoretic structures for improved efficiency, accuracy, and scalability within network-based optimization tasks. Real data is used from the Stanford Large Network Dataset Collection (SNAP). This paper designs a system to transform network structures into adjacency, incidence, and weight matrices in order to represent a unified algebraic–topological scheme. A hybrid solver is developed that embeds LP operations with graph-informed initialization and structural pruning to accelerate computation. Experimental evaluations across various demand-flow scenarios demonstrate that the hybrid model systematically outperforms classical LP and graph-only methods by achieving runtime reductions of 25–35%, faster convergence, and lower memory use. The hybrid method also demonstrates a 15–20% better scalability where, with increased size of the graph, strong performance is maintained and yields solutions of higher stability and lower variance. These results demonstrate that the introduction of graph topology into LP formulations significantly improves their computational behavior and enhances solution quality. A generalizable, robust framework for modern optimization problems that points towards practical applications in routing, resource allocation, communication networks, and large-scale decision systems is given.

Role of Financial Statement Analysis in Enhancing Performance and Competitiveness of Chartered Firms: Empirical Evidence from NCR

Country- INDIA

Aruna Sharma, Dr. Manish Choudhary

PAPER ID: IRJEAS04V14I1011

Published: Feb 2026

Journal: IRJEAS, Volume 14, Issue 1

Pages: 131-143

Abstract:

The management of the competitiveness of the professional services firms and the financial statement analysis have an essential role in promoting the managerial decision-making process and supporting managerial decision-making. The firms of chartered accountants, which are highly competitive and exist in knowledge-based business environments, are becoming more demanding in terms of analytical application of financial statements to improve performance and strategic positioning. This paper will look at the importance of the financial statement analysis in enhancing the performance and competitiveness of chartered accountancy firm within the National Capital Region (NCR) of India, and how such decision-making effectiveness mediates such performance. The quantitative and empirical research approach selected allowed gathering primary data through a structured questionnaire and use of 100 chartered firms. The practices related to financial statement analysis were considered as per the performance and competitiveness of firms and decision-making effectiveness was considered as an intervening variable. They were descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, hierarchical regression and mediation analysis with the Sobel test. The results indicate that financial statement analysis affects performance and competitiveness of firms positively, directly and indirectly through an effective decision making. The findings indicate that the strategic importance of financial statement analysis is not in the aspect of compliance but rather in enhancing clarity in the management, minimizing uncertainties, and in making informed strategic decisions. The research adds to the empirical literature on the same topic in professional service firms that is scarce and provides practical informational support towards enhancing managerial performance in chartered accountancy practice.

Abstract:

The Digital India Mission has emerged as a central pillar of India’s governance and development strategy, aiming to integrate digital technologies into public administration and everyday citizen–state interactions. While the expansion of digital platforms and services has been widely acknowledged, there remains a need for careful evaluation of whether these initiatives have translated into meaningful digital empowerment. This paper examines the Digital India Mission through an analytical focus on access, inclusion, and administrative transparency, treating these dimensions as interconnected rather than independent outcomes. It explores how digital infrastructure and online service delivery have reshaped patterns of access to public services, while also assessing the extent to which social, regional, and institutional factors influence inclusion. The study further analyses how digital platforms affect transparency and accountability in administrative processes, drawing attention to both their enabling potential and their practical limitations. The findings suggest that digital empowerment is shaped not only by technological expansion but also by administrative capacity, citizen capabilities, and trust in institutions. By situating digitalisation within broader governance processes, the paper contributes to a more grounded understanding of digital governance reforms and highlights the conditions under which digital initiatives can support inclusive and transparent public administration.

An AI-Driven Sustainability Framework for Teacher Retention in Private Schools: Predictive Analytics and Adaptive Interventions

Country- INDIA

Jency Cherian, Sandeep Kumar Shivhare

PAPER ID: IRJEAS04V14I1014

Published: Feb 2026

Journal: IRJEAS, Volume 14, Issue 1

Pages: 177-196

Abstract:

This paper makes use of cross-sectional survey data from a sample of 300 teachers in the K-12 private schooling sector to construct and confirm an AI-powered Sustainability Framework for Teacher Retention (SFTR-AI). By means of Structural Equation Modelling, it is revealed in the investigation that institutional sustainability practices, development opportunities, and existing environment cumulatively explain 51 per cent of the variation in teacher intention to retain their current assignment. In drawing up this structural model, job satisfaction is determined to be the strongest mediating variable in this process, with a regression coefficient of .46 (.001 significance) in importance. To provide it with some broader scope in terms of intended applications, a predictive analyse was also undertaken based upon Random Forest, succeeding in arriving at an accuracy of 85 per cent in pinpointing attrition risk—no less than twenty-two times more precise than traditional regression methods. In turn, Confirmatory Factor Analysis further supports the adequacy of the measurement model by demonstrating high levels of factor loadings (ranging between 0.62 and 0.87), Composite Reliability with scores well over 0.80, and average variance extracted (AVE) scores higher than the recommended 0.50. Taken together, therefore, findings provide a significant identifier of the sustainability approach to institutional practices related to teacher retention and the validity of the use of AI-driven systems with regards to proactive data-driven retention strategies by private schools.

PAPER ID: IRJEAS04V14I1015

Published: Feb 2026

Journal: IRJEAS, Volume 14, Issue 1

Pages: 197-216

Abstract:

There has been a paradigm shift in the way students interact in both their learning ability and social roles with the transitioning process from offline classes to e-classes or a combination thereof, thus posing new challenges regarding the psychological well-being of the students. This study investigates the effects of various forms of classes regarding the levels of stress and adaptability of the secondary school-going students. Through the application of a descriptive method, involving 250 participants aged 18-30 enrolled in offline, e-classes, or combination classes, this study applied a structured interview schedule, along with a Social Adjustment Scale and Stress Assessment Scale, both of which have been professionally verified, along with high internal consistency with Cronbach Alpha Values of 0.81 & 0.78, respectively.The statistical tests employed include descriptive statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA, independent sample t-test, and Pearson correlation. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The findings showed that there existed significant differences between the levels of stress experienced by students in the different learning environments, F = 15.32, p <0.001. The highest level of stress was experienced by students studying online, M = 6.8, SD = 1.5, while the least was experienced by students studying face-to-face, M = 4.5, SD = 1.2. Additionally, there existed significant differences between social integration experienced by students in the different learning environments, F = 18.45, p <0.001. The highest social integration was experienced by students studying face-to-face, M = 7.2, SD = 1.1, while the least was experienced by students studying online, M = 4.3, SD = 1.4. Last, there existed an inverse significant relationship between the levels of stress and social integration, r =-0.56, p <0.01.These findings highlight the crucial impact of learning environments on students’ experiences in terms of their emotions and social interactions. This study emphasizes the pressing demand for intervention strategies derived from rigorous scientific research, with the ability to counter stress and enhance social interaction, especially in online education settings. By shedding light on these factors, the study lends credence for educators and policy developers in promoting learning environments for success and resilience.

Abstract:

Ben ford’s Law explains the non-uniform distribution of digits in naturally occurring numerical datasets, where smaller leading digits occur more frequently than larger ones. Over the past few decades, this mathematical phenomenon has evolved from a theoretical curiosity into a practical analytical tool in forensic accounting and fraud examination. This study presents a descriptive review of how Ben ford’s Law is applied in fraud detection across financial reporting, taxation systems, nonprofit disclosures, and digital transaction environments. It further discusses statistical techniques commonly used to evaluate conformity and highlights the increasing integration of digit analysis with data analytics and artificial intelligence. The findings suggest that Ben ford’s Law functions effectively as a preliminary screening mechanism that enhances audit efficiency and supports data-driven fraud detection strategies.

Anthropocentrism and the Environmental Imagination: A Critical Reassessment of Ruskin Bond’s Nature Writing

Country- INDIA

Kaveri Shivaraj Kamashetti, S.G. Dollegoudar

PAPER ID: IRJEAS04V14I1017

Published: Maer 2026

Journal: IRJEAS, Volume 14, Issue 1

Pages: 224-236

Abstract:

Purpose: The current paper is a critical review of environmental imagination of Ruskin Bond in the form of anthropocentric structures that permeate his nature writing. Although Bond is generally regarded as an Indian nature author, with prescience of ecological intimacy, this paper maintains that in his stories the structure is arranged structurally around the primacy of human epistemological and affective knowledge.

Method: The study uses an ecological interpretive literary analysis that has its basis in the ecocriticism, postcolonial ecocritical theory and environmental philosophy. Four works chosen including: The Cherry Tree, Angry River, Our Trees Still Grow in Dehra, Leopard on the Mountain and The Room on the Roof are critically examined through close reading in terms of narrative focalization, grammatical agency, representational strategies and plot construction.

Analytical Focus: According to the study, there are four manifestations of anthropocentrism which are interrelated:

  1. Sympathetic anthropomorphism
  2. Nature as affectionate and memory topography.
  3. Ecological crisis instrumentalization.
  4. Epistemological primacy of human observer.

Key Results: The results show that the environmental imagination developed by Bond act in the way that could be called sympathetic anthropocentrism- a culturally efficient yet structurally human focused ecological representation mode. Non-human beings are treated emotionally and ethically and seldom are given ontological and narrative independence without consideration of human development.

Conclusion: The nature writing of Ruskin Bond adds up to the nature consciousness of India but it is still placed in a graded anthropocentricity context. By taking note of this sympathetic anthropocentrism, it is possible to consider postcolonial ecological literature more specifically and demand more differentiated approaches to anthropocentrism evaluation in the Global South.

Abstract:

Purpose: The current paper is a critical review of environmental imagination of Ruskin Bond in the form of anthropocentric structures that permeate his nature writing. Although Bond is generally regarded as an Indian nature author, with prescience of ecological intimacy, this paper maintains that in his stories the structure is arranged structurally around the primacy of human epistemological and affective knowledge.

Method: The study uses an ecological interpretive literary analysis that has its basis in the ecocriticism, postcolonial ecocritical theory and environmental philosophy. Four works chosen including: The Cherry Tree, Angry River, Our Trees Still Grow in Dehra, Leopard on the Mountain and The Room on the Roof are critically examined through close reading in terms of narrative focalization, grammatical agency, representational strategies and plot construction.

Analytical Focus: According to the study, there are four manifestations of anthropocentrism which are interrelated:

  1. Sympathetic anthropomorphism
  2. Nature as affectionate and memory topography.
  3. Ecological crisis instrumentalization.
  4. Epistemological primacy of human observer.
  5.  

Key Results: The results show that the environmental imagination developed by Bond act in the way that could be called sympathetic anthropocentrism- a culturally efficient yet structurally human focused ecological representation mode. Non-human beings are treated emotionally and ethically and seldom are given ontological and narrative independence without consideration of human development.

Conclusion: The nature writing of Ruskin Bond adds up to the nature consciousness of India but it is still placed in a graded anthropocentricity context. By taking note of this sympathetic anthropocentrism, it is possible to consider postcolonial ecological literature more specifically and demand more differentiated approaches to anthropocentrism evaluation in the Global South.
