significant changes in the business environment. Various issues such as dynamic business
conditions and stiff competition have become integral components of the business practices
of organizations. The issues are driving the businesses to make some critical changes in their
organizational practices and trends. Increased acknowledgment concerning the importance of
the employees in the making of strategic decisions is one of the organizational behavior that
