Mental Health Well-being among Undergraduate Students of East West University: Evidence from a Cross-sectional Survey Khan, Md. Mobarak Hossain Poor mental health is common among university students every where, including in Bangladesh. Since information about mental health well-being (MHWB) of private university students are still scarce, this study aims to estimate the prevalence of poor mental health and associated determinants, using cross-sectional data (N=670) collected from undergraduate students of East West University. The WHO Well-Being Index, composed of five Likert Scale questions with possible answers from 0 (not at all) to 5 (all the time), was used to measure the state of MHWB using a cut-off 13 for the total score. The overall prevalence of poor mental health was 34.6%, and was significantly higher among female (38.9%) than among male (30.5%) students. Its prevalence was also significantly higher among students who had no close friends for sharing problems, and among students with low level of satisfaction about their current residences in Dhaka, academic performance at EWU, and relationship with faculty members. Since a large proportion of students suffer from poor MHWB, EWU administration should consider this as a serious issue and apply feasible prevention strategies in a comprehensive manner.

The Impact of TQM Practices in Improving Product Quality: Bangladesh Garment Organizations as a Case+ Ferdousi, Farhana; Shabnam, Saadia The increase in competition, changes in import and export policies, and increased customer consciousness have resulted in organizations focusing on the use of TQM practices to remain competitive. This study identifies the practices of TQM. In addition, this study also examines the association between TQM practices and product quality. It uses data obtained from 133 garment organizations. Results reveal that TQM practices, including leadership (employee empowerment, resource allocation), employee participation (cross-functional teams, employee authority), supplier relationship (supplier audit), and customer focus (customer survey) have positive association with product quality. These findings lead to the conclusion that if sample organizations can achieve quality improvement thorough TQM practices, then other garment organizations of Bangladesh may also do so. It is important to create right awareness for all organizations to realize these improvements.

Factors Affecting the Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction of Bankers: A Study of a Private Commercial Bank in Bangladesh Mishkat, M. M. Baset Oli Human resource is the only competitive tool that can be protected from imitation by competitors. Highly satisfied employees contribute in acquiring competitive advantage. Contribution Factor and Return Factor explain the satisfaction level of a banker. Not only compensation package (Return Factor) but also good-to-work surroundings (Contribution Factor) can increase the satisfaction level of an employee. Employers must consider the two factors to create a pleasant working environment which will result in a bunch of satisfied and motivated employees who can become the source of competitive advantage for the organization.
