Environmental Training and Environmental Orientation of Organization: The Mediating Role of Environmental Behavior of Employee Thevanes, N.; Arulrajah, A.A. Previous studies rarely examined the relationships among environmental training, environmental behavior of employee and environmental orientation of organization. Moreover, most studies neglect the mediating effect of environmental behavior of employee on the relationship between environmental training and environmental orientation of organization. Hence, this paper aims to examine the relationships among environmental training, environmental behavior of employee and environmental orientation of organization and the mediating effect of environmental behavior of employee on the relationship between environmental training and environmental orientation of organization. In order to achieve the study objectives, primary data were collected from 108 employees of a leading apparel company which is operating in Batticaloa and Polonnnaruwa areas of Sri Lanka. The simple mediation analysis was used to test the research model. Findings of the study revealed that, there are positive and significant relationships existing among the study variables. Moreover, empirical finding of the study indicated that environmental behavior of employee does not mediate the relationship between environmental training and environmental orientation of organization. The empirical finding of the study contradicted with what was hypothesized in the study. Hence, further empirical studies should be carried out to test and prove the mediating role of environmental behavior of employee.

Trade Unions and Their Impact on Productivity: A Review of Sri Lankan Context from 1995 to 2015 Fernando, K.J. There are many factors that cause trade union actions such as problems related to organizational culture, management and administrative issues, problems related to working conditions, demand for higher salaries and other benefits by the employees and political influences. As a result of these trade union actions, lots of working hours may lose and it could badly affect the productivity of the organization. This study was conducted with a view to make a review on trade unions and their impact on productivity in Sri Lankan context for the period of years 1995-2015. 1978 Constitution of Sri Lanka recognizes Freedom of Association and Freedom to join and form trade unions as fundamental rights of every citizen of Sri Lanka. Industrial Disputes act (No. 43 of 1950) of Sri Lanka states different methods to resolve Industrial disputes such as Collective agreements, Conciliation, and Arbitration. According to the statistics of Labour Department of Sri Lanka, many industrial disputes occurred in the period of 1995-2015 and government intervened to settle many of them. Thousands of employees involved in those industrial disputes and plenty of man days lost as a result on annual basis during the period of 1995-2015. Therefore the author came to the conclusion that industrial disputes impacted a lot in a negative way for the productivity of labour force in Sri Lanka and hence it affected badly for the economy of Sri Lanka during the period of 1995-2015.

The Role of Human Resource Professional in Preventing and Controlling of COVID-19 Arulrajah, A. A. The main objective of this paper is to explore the role of Professionals of Human Resource Management (HRM) in preventing and controlling of COVID-19 in the workplaces. In order to achieve the objective of the review, a literature review was conducted by using available literature. The finding of this review revealed that the Human Resource Professional (HRP) in the organization can play four main roles, such as informational, resource facilitation, advisory and change agent in preventing and controlling of COVID-19 in the work places. The degree and intensity of performing these roles by HRM departments or HR professionals of the organizations may contribute to reduce and eliminate the 15 types of fears and stress by corona (SBC) identified by Opatha (2020) among the employees of the organizations.
