The logistics industry in Navi Mumbai operates in a fast-paced and highly demanding environment where employees frequently work under strict deadlines, operational pressure and continuous coordination with multiple stakeholders. Such working conditions often lead to workplace conflicts arising from differences in opinions, communication gaps, heavy workloads and role-related responsibilities. If these conflicts are not managed effectively, they can negatively affect employee relationships, productivity and overall organizational performance. Therefore, effective conflict management has become an important aspect of organizational success. The present study examines the role of organizational culture in managing workplace conflicts within logistics companies in Navi Mumbai. Organizational culture refers to the shared values, beliefs and practices that influence how employees interact and resolve workplace issues. A positive and supportive culture encourages open communication, mutual respect and collaborative problem-solving, which helps in resolving conflicts constructively. The study adopted a descriptive research design. Primary data were collected from 100 employees working in logistics companies in Navi Mumbai through structured questionnaires. Secondary data were gathered from books, journals and online sources to support the research findings. The results indicate that organizations that promote participative leadership, transparent communication and supportive work values are more effective in handling workplace conflicts. Such practices help improve teamwork, strengthen professional relationships and create a healthier work environment. The study concludes that a positive organizational culture plays a crucial role in effective conflict management and contributes to improved employee satisfaction and organizational performance.

The growing mental health crisis in contemporary workplaces necessitates systemic, preventive, and relationally grounded interventions that move beyond individual coping strategies. While existing organisational approaches largely emphasise resilience training and stress management, comparatively little empirical attention has been devoted to peace-oriented competencies as structural determinants of workplace well-being. This study develops and tests a Peace-Oriented Workplace Well-Being Model that conceptualises peace competencies—empathy, emotional regulation, non-violent communication, tolerance, and collaborative conflict transformation—as foundational predictors of psychological safety and mental well-being, culminating in organisational thriving. Using a convergent mixed-methods design, data were collected from 200 employees across four sectors. Quantitative analyses included reliability assessment, correlation analysis, hierarchical regression, and bootstrapped mediation testing. Results revealed significant positive associations between peace competencies and psychological safety (r = .68, p < .001) and between peace competencies and mental well-being (r = .62, p < .001). Mediation analysis indicated a significant indirect effect through psychological safety (indirect effect = .27, 95% CI [.18, .38]), confirming partial mediation. Qualitative thematic findings provided contextual depth, illustrating how relational climates characterised by respectful dialogue and constructive conflict engagement function as psychosocial buffers. Building on these findings, the study proposes a multi-level Peace-Oriented Policy and Practice Framework integrating individual competency development, team-based relational systems, leadership accountability, and organisational governance architecture. The research positions peace not as a normative ideal but as measurable preventive infrastructure for sustainable workplace mental health and thriving.

India’s transition toward renewable energy has significantly influenced trends in the equity market. This study examines equity market movements in India with reference to selected renewable energy companies using a fundamental analysis framework. The research evaluates key financial performance indicators, including Return on Equity (ROE), Net Profit, Earnings Per Share (EPS), Debt–Equity Ratio, and Price–Earnings (P/E) Ratio, to assess profitability, financial stability, and market valuation. In addition to secondary financial data obtained from company annual reports, primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire from 71 respondents to understand investor perception and awareness regarding renewable energy investments. The study also considers the influence of government policies, sustainability initiatives, and the growing focus on clean energy on stock price behavior within the sector. By comparing financial strength and market performance, the research aims to identify long-term growth prospects and investment suitability of selected companies. The findings provide practical insights for investors seeking sustainable and fundamentally strong investment opportunities in India’s evolving equity market, while also contributing to the academic understanding of sector-specific equity analysis

In contemporary organizations, employee mental well-being is recognized as a fundamental determinant of engagement, productivity, and long-term sustainability. This empirical investigation explores the nexus between Human Resource (HR) practices and psychological health, specifically examining the mediating influence of psychological safety.Utilizing a quantitative methodology, the study employed standardized scales and robust statistical techniques—including regression and mediation analysis—to evaluate data from a diverse organizational cohort. The results demonstrate a significant positive correlation between supportive HR practices and mental well-being. Critically, the data reveals that psychological safety serves as a pivotal explanatory mechanism; HR initiatives foster a climate of interpersonal trust and risk-tolerance, which subsequently bolsters individual psychological resilience.This research enriches HR literature by empirically validating the "black box" through which organizational policies translate into health outcomes. From a practical perspective, the findings underscore that mental well-being is not merely an individual trait but a byproduct of an environment characterized by openness and security. To cultivate a sustainable workforce, practitioners must move beyond perfunctory wellness programs and strategically design HR frameworks that prioritize a safe, transparent, and psychologically supportive organizational culture.

The financial environment in India has changed as a result of digital payment technologies, which make transactions quicker, easier, and more accessible. The Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which enables quick bank-to-bank transfers via mobile devices, has become one of these systems' most innovative payment platforms. UPI, which was created by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), has greatly expanded the use of digital payments throughout the nation. While several studies have looked at UPI adoption, user happiness, and security perceptions, the behavioural effects of UPI on consumer spending patterns—particularly impulsive buying behaviour have received less attention. This study investigates how UPI affects Generation Z consumers' impulsive spending habits in India. A technologically sophisticated cohort, Generation Z mostly uses mobile applications for financial transactions. The purpose of the study is to determine whether the simplicity, speed, and convenience of digital payments via UPI promote impulsive or unforeseen purchases. The study investigates the psychological elements affecting spending behaviour using survey-based data gathered from respondents between the ages of 18 and 30. The results show that impulsive spending behaviour is greatly influenced by digital payments' ease of use and decreased psychological obstacles. The study comes to the conclusion that although UPI has boosted transaction efficiency and financial convenience, youthful users may become more impulsive consumers. Policymakers, financial institutions, and consumers may utilize the research's conclusions to encourage responsible digital spending.

The need for effective transportation systems in urban areas has greatly increased due to rapid urbanization and population growth. In recent years, Mumbai's suburban areas have seen significant public spending on road infrastructure, including flyovers, road widening initiatives, and enhanced connectivity corridors. These initiatives seek to increase overall transportation efficiency, lessen traffic congestion, and improve urban mobility. In this regard, the current study investigates how significant road infrastructure spending affects the effectiveness of urban transportation in the suburbs of Mumbai. The study comes to the conclusion that while significant investments in road infrastructure have improved connectivity and transportation options, not all commuters perceive the same advantages. To maximize the return on infrastructure investments, road quality, traffic control, and integration with public transportation systems must be continuously improved. Policymakers and urban planners may find the study's conclusions helpful in creating effective and sustainable transportation plans for quickly expanding suburban areas.
