Full textAbstract:
The objective of the research was to record the collective memory of women artisans about the artisanal technique of producing gourds on Quianduba Island, in the municipality of Abaetetuba, in the State of Pará. 03 (three) women artisans of cuia, who live on the banks of the Quianduba river, were interviewed. Oral history was used as a methodology, aiming to maintain the veracity of the interviewees' speeches, through the transcription of oral form into writing, guaranteeing the recording of both individual and collective memories. As main references we use: Bosi (1993,1994) Cunha (2007), Diegues (2001) and Oliveira (2008). It stands out how important the artisanal work of making gourds carried out by women artisans is to guarantee the subsistence of their families. These women assume different social identities, they are riverside dwellers, artisans, mothers, educators, they are direct collaborators in the construction of sociability in the space where they live, transforming the reality of the family and the traditional community.

This study examined the information needs, sources, information-seeking behavior of women artisans and the implications for empowerment in Offa, a semi-urban area in Kwara State of Nigeria. Survey research method was adopted with questionnaire as tool for data collection, involving 210 women artisans. Findings revealed that women artisans have information needs related to their work, but with information accessibility challenges due to unavailability of accessible information sources like libraries, as well as absence of empowerment programmes from government. It further revealed that the major sources of information for most women artisans were verbal or face-to-face mode of communications. The paper concludes that women constitute a vital asset of Nigeria and are a resourceful group with a good number practicing artisanship. Therefore, there is need to develop the information consciousness of the women artisans by the provision of efficient, effective and reliable formal information delivery mechanisms to them, such as community information centres.

Full textAbstract:
Toehold Artisans Collaborative (TAC) is a project launched by the Asian Center for Entrepreneurship Initiatives (ASCENT), a non-profit organization based in Bangalore, to build entrepreneurial capacity in a community of footwear artisans of the small southern Indian town of Athani. Prior to ASCENT's involvement, which began in 1998, the artisans of Athani were making a subsistence wage, which did not even guarantee them two square meals a day. They could not send their children to school and were thus suffering from economic stagnation. TAC is an established Group Enterprise of 14 women Self Help Groups (SHG). Even though women's SHGs are the direct stakeholders, the men are not left out — they are treated as co-preneurs for all inputs, exposure to international fairs and production purposes. The front end of TAC is a customer-centric business enterprise that has taken the exquisite footwear brand 'ToeHold™' to challenging international mainstream markets. The backend is an artisan-centric social enterprise striving for improvement in the quality of life of about 400 artisans' families. The case documents how TAC was set up and evolved during the 1998–2006 period, the challenges it faced and continues to face, and the impact it has had on the artisan community. It is useful for examining the effective organization and running of social enterprises.

Full textAbstract:
This article considers relationships between artisans and aristocrats on estates and elsewhere in Scotland during the long nineteenth century. It argues that the Scottish aristocracy, and women in particular, were distinctly preoccupied with the craft economy through schemes to promote employment but also due to attachments to ‘romanticised’ local and Celtic identities. Building in part on government initiatives and aristocratic office-holding as public officials and presidents of learned societies, but also sustained through personal interest and emotional investments, the craft economy and individual entrepreneurs were supported and encouraged. Patronage of and participation in public exhibitions of craftwork forms one strand of discussion and the role of hand-made objects in public gift-giving forms another. Tourism, which estates encouraged, sustained many areas of craft production with south-west Scotland and the highland counties providing examples. Widows who ran estates were involved in the development of artisan skills among local women, a convention that was further developed at the end of the century by the Home Industries movement, but also supported male artisans. Aristocrats, men and women, commonly engaged in craft practice as a form of escapist leisure that connected them to the land, to a sense of the past and to a small group of easily identified and sympathetic workers living on their estates. Artisans and workshop owners, particularly in rural areas, engage creatively in a patronage regime where elites held the upper hand and the impact on the craft economy of aristocratic support in its various forms was meaningful.

Art is not just a part of life; for some, it’s life itself! and this life is being lived to the fullest by the women artisans who not only nourish the art like their own kin but also help in promoting the GDP and shaping the economy of the country. According to the International Trade Centre, women make up for 70% of the global handicraft workforce. Here, through this exhaustive research, we shall analyze the contributions, challenges, solutions and outcomes of the voice of women artisans in India and how In- dia’s GDP has got a boost indirectly with women artisans taking the center stage. A KPMG study estimated that approximately 7.3 million people depend on handicraft and allied activities for livelihood. The handicraft and handloom sector in India is a Rs 24,300-crore industry and contributes nearly Rs 10,000 crore annually in export earn- ings. Women Artisans of India and the tribal communities gearing up with their act is tru- ly inspiring amidst the brand market of the world where handmade threads and knots are giving a run for the money to the machine made and robotic assembled goods. Vocal for local and its impact which not only promotes self reliability in the tourism sec- tor but even sustainability and is environment friendly is another feature that is touched upon with reference to Indian handicrafts and emergence of new startups promoting an-cient Indian techniques is another interesting feature. Self help group and NGOs sup- porting the economic development especially during the COVID pandemic times where this industry was the worst hit has been he life savior of this massive Industry. Digital empowerment ensuring higher market reach and faster market capture is the tool that does the trick with women artisans voicing in their concerns and asking for a leading hand not for their support from the masses but an indirect upliftment via awareness generated in the market. This awareness is the gateway to Education.

Full textAbstract:
Based on a qualitative method, this study narrates the condition and status of women workers engaged in the unorganized handicraft sector in Srinagar. The city, considered Kashmir’s economic hub and business capital, is known for handicrafts and tourism. In this study, 20 women involved in the Kashmiri handicrafts sector were interviewed face to face. The study recruited participants using purposive and snowball sampling methods. After a thorough review of the collected data, it was thematically interpreted. A descriptive phenomenology analysis of the dataset identified three themes: (i) role of conflict in the region, (ii) urge for economic independence, and (iii) social prejudice. This study argues that even though the work environment in the unorganized sector is exploitative and oppressive for women, there is an element of liberation for women in the social sphere.

Learning outcomes The learning outcomes are as follows: to strike a balance between business growth and keeping the core Gandhian philosophies intact; to evaluate the relevance of Gandhian philosophy in the age of the digital era, especially for the grassroots enterprises; and to identify the leadership characteristics demonstrated by Pabiben from the lens of servant-leadership theory. Case overview/synopsis The case describes the journey of a grassroots-based rural women entrepreneur, Pabibben, who had created an artisan's enterprise and rural business model based on Gandhian philosophies. The case focuses on whether Gandhian philosophies are still relevant in today's time for business growth. The case appeals to the academic fraternity, budding entrepreneurs, social sector start-ups and practitioners who believe in the inclusive and holistic growth of an individual, community, society and the nation. The case is about the dilemma of how to grow a business ethically and balance economic and social gain. Pabiben used Gandhian philosophies as a set of values to make decisions and set policies for her business. Pabiben wanted to grow her business and expand her e-commerce portal “Pabiben.com” for other artisans to display, promote and sell their products to the global communities. She had to decide on the following: 1. Should she sell other artisans' products under “Pabiben.com”? 2. Should she allow other artisans to create their own identity on the portal and help the artisans' community grow? 3. Are Gandhian philosophies still relevant in today’s time for business growth?

Objective: This study aims to recognize the situation of gender inequality of the artisan women of Santa María Canchesdá, Temascalcingo in the northeast of the State of Mexico. Theoretical Framework: Based on analysis categories of gender, territory and crafts. Method: In this study, the qualitative case study approach with a gender perspective was used, using field research techniques such as participant observation and in-depth semi-structured interviews. Results and Discussion: The results show that the participation of women in the ceramic making process is central to the local economy, but also, rural women artisans with their work have initiated processes of autonomy that would be repositioning them against the men of the community. Implications of the Research: It seeks to identify the real participation that women have in the social reproduction of their artisan homes and the expansion of the activity in the community. Originality/Value: Expand the literature on women potters, regarding the productive and reproductive work they carry out, through empirical evidence of their daily work both in pottery and ceramist workshops and at home, especially in indigenous localities.

Preliminary Findings From a Study in Nigerian Women Working in the Informal Work Sector." JCO Global Oncology 6, Supplement_1 (July 2020): 66. http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/go.20.63001.
Full textAbstract:
PURPOSE Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Nigerian women. A large proportion of Nigerian women work as artisans in the informal work sector. As a population, they are unreached and underserved with poor access to BC information and screening services. Studies have demonstrated the feasibility of implementing HIV prevention programs through artisan groups. Integrating BC programs to existing HIV prevention programs may offer potentials to tap synergies and could lead to sustainable integrated interventions. This study assessed BC screening practices and the feasibility of implementing integrated HIV and BC programs among artisans. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out in 3 local government areas in Ibadan, Nigeria. Data were collected using an electronic data capture tool from 400 consenting respondents selected through a multistage sampling technique. Knowledge of BC and HIV were measured on 14- and 8-item scales. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential tests at P < .05. RESULTS A quarter of the 400 respondents were age ≥ 40 years, a third were Muslims, and 64.8% had secondary level education or less. One third (32.8%) of the respondents had adequate knowledge of BC signs and symptoms. Of the respondents, 11.3% of the women received clinical breast examination, while the mammography rate for women age ≥ 40 years was 9.0%. In contrast, the proportion of artisans with adequate knowledge of HIV’s modes of transmission was 92.7% and HIV screening was 74%. Educational level, religion, and knowledge of BC signs and symptoms were significantly associated with BC screening ( P < .05). Rate of willingness to participate in an integrated HIV and BC intervention was 95.5%. CONCLUSION BC knowledge and screening practices are low. Findings will inform the development of an integrated intervention that can serve as a model with the potential to expand coverage, and reduce missed opportunities for early detection and treatment of BC and other noncommunicable diseases.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article examines one formative moment in the making of a working class in Brazil to show how workers refashioned multiple identities in response to interlocking structural transformations from artisanal to factory production, from homogeneous to heterogeneous ethnic communities, and from a male labor force to one that was increasingly female. Anarchist labor organizers contested the myth of the happy artisan and conflated the exploitation of artisans and factory workers to advance class consciousness. Ethnic ties that had initially fostered organization began to hamper class solidarity, now strained under new ideological conflicts, and facilitated effective resistance from employers. As appeals to ethnicity became problematic, appeals to gender emerged: women workers made themselves visible and audible and played an important role in the evolution of the movement. The ways in which they were seen and heard in the streets, however, contrasted with their representations in elite discourse, which sought to use gender to manipulate divisions within the emerging working class.

Full textAbstract:
Using an extensive inquiry into the family income of Ghent artisans and cotton, linen, and metal workers around 1900, the research reported in this article examines the level and the composition of family income at different phases of the life-cycle. In the Belgian textile center Ghent, which was characterized by a low male wage level, married women made a substantial contribution to the family income, especially in the years before children started to earn a living. The family income per person of textile workers approached or even exceeded the income of metal workers and artisans despite the fact that heads' wages were lower: the textile families' strategy, consisting of an increased work effort of women and children, was successful in bridging the income gap. On the other hand, the wives of metal workers and artisans came closer to the realization of the domestic ideal.

Artisans were most common (61%), followed by Social Activists (18%), Careerists (12%), and Self-investors (10%). Social Activists reported greater burnout, greater stress, and the least satisfying work setting. In addition, Social Activists reported the least job satisfaction, greatest intention to turnover, and poorest physical health. Artisans reported greatest work satisfaction, least burnout, and the least stress.

Full textAbstract:
World leaders across the globe are focusing on issues of women empowerment through the creation of equal opportunities in education, work, and society. The Indian artisans are being exposed to several interventions that aim at creating empowerment for these women from the rural underprivileged social strata. Social entrepreneurship has been considered as a driver of women's empowerment; hence it also becomes important to assess its potential to empower women in Indian rural artisan communities. The study was conducted in rural villages of one of the most underdeveloped states of India. Woman empowerment was measured on indices proposes by OXFAM. 130 women engaged with a social enterprise, and 127 women who were part of an NGO were compared with a base group of 130 women untouched by any intervention. We found that both social entrepreneurship and non-governmental organizations had the potential to influence women's empowerment, but social enterprises performed better on most of the indexes. The women working with the social enterprise have stronger financial independence that may be attributing to better self-confidence, autonomy, individual capability, opinion towards women’s economic role, greater control over household decisions and assets. While the environmental level indicators are slightly improved for NGO-based women, most probably due to their unity and psychological effect of being in a group. Social enterprises provided these women with hassle-free earnings and were accepted by the patriarchal social structure.

Full textAbstract:
If the object of research is Neolithic ceramics, it would seem that the researcher is at a loss when it comes to illuminating certain social aspects of the manufacture of pottery. In archaeological inquiry the artisan always remain “invisible”, even though their identities are crucial in the reconstruction of social relations. Thus, if we wish to identify the gender and social standing of artisans in the deeper layers of history, we must turn to ethno-archaeological and anthropological research. A number of ethno-archaeological and anthropological studies confirm the conclusion that pottery can be considered a female occupation in non-industrialized societies. However it seems that a rough, gender-based division of production to non-specialized – female and specialized – male, is too simplified. According to this point of view, women engage in pottery only when they have no other work to do – be it household chores or agricultural labor, and they produce pottery only to meet the needs of their own household. Ethno-archaeological research, however, shows that women can indeed become specialized artisans. The specialization of women can be observed in three forms: 1. in those communities where only some households engage in production of pottery, 2. in specialized communities and 3. in communities where female pottery makers belong to specific social groups. Based on anthropological research, we can assume that the adoption of pottery is directly linked to the gender based division in everyday activities. Beliefs, rituals and taboos connected to the production of pottery which have been ethnographically documented, and wherein the production of pottery is equated with the shift in the life cycle, birth and death, only serve to vouch for the identity of the artisan in the earliest ceramic communities.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses aspects of a dialogue with artisan women during the production of their handicrafts. Our dialogical proposition builds on participant research studies conducted in Brazil since the 1960’s, to which feminist studies are added and mixed here. The article integrates two groups of female artisans who produced pieces, and simultaneously talked about their craft production processes and their daily experiences. We analyse the broad spectrum of accounts that emerges at the meetings, and the power of self-perception arising from the places of collective speech and listening. We conclude that the alternatives found for systematising the recorded findings provoked new reflections and the recognition, in scale, of other directions and derivations of research practice with poorly educated adult women.

Full textAbstract:
Considering the emerging global markets for the consumption of cashmere products, current sustainability issues prevailing in the traditional cashmere industry are explored in this study. To get a deeper understanding of the sustainability concerns in the cashmere industry, it is important to understand the cashmere supply chain operations to uncover the key sustainability issues prevalent in the present-day traditional cashmere industry. For this, a single case study was conducted in Kashmir, India using qualitative approaches. Data collection was carried out using semi-structured interviews, observations, cashmere retailer websites and documentary evidence. Due to the impact of mechanization and lack of industry standards, the research findings indicate deteriorating socio-economic conditions of the artisans; especially, women spinners and weavers. Mechanization promotes economic sustainability for the manufacturers and retailers which helps them strengthen their market base. However, with this, artisan communities are rendered jobless who are dependent on their manual skills for sustenance as they have limited alternate revenue generation options. Moreover, the lack of motivation among the artisans to use institutional support further escalates sustainability concerns in the traditional craft industry.

Full textAbstract:
The village Ghoradia in Puri district, Orissa has more than 1500 families. For ages most of these families, which are mostly from the Dalit community have been trapped by ultra-poverty. In July this year I had the opportunity to visit the village..
A meeting with the artisans of the village was pre-planned, yet we could not find any spacious room in any of their houses where we could conduct this meeting. It was a cramped room where we finally settled, we wanted to discuss with wider cross-section of the artisans, but for these limitations, we had interaction with just 15 applique women artisans on the mud floor as the last option. I had been eager to understand the socio-economic dynamics, absorb the stories that moulded their lives, I was restless to know their stories from their mouths, not from elsewhere. The women folk of this village work on applique. In fact, applique craft is famous in the entire district with Pipili as its hub. The Pipili is no more a village, gradually growing to a commercial destination, a small town for applique related business. Applique is also known as Chandua. The word applique comes from the French word appliquer, meaning “to put on”. In my career as rural development professional, for more than three decades, I always realised that unless you are being accepted, you are being trusted, and you can’t work with them. Returning to hotel, Crystal Urban Park, Bhubaneswar, late night I wrote a brief Facebook post on July 3, 2023 promising to develop a story soon on them as gesture of my gratitude.
I also visited Dhanakera village. Many of the artisans of Dhanakera panchayat are in ultra-poverty, deprived for ages, the villagers depend on agriculture as their main source of income, mostly marginal farmers. To add to their difficulties, most of their agricultural lands are flood affected, the poor farmers say, there is no mechanism to dispose-off the rain water, of this water-logged areas, as a result of recurrent floods, they have been suffering for long. By the country sides there I could see many people of working age are just gossiping or sitting idle. Under the pressing situations applique works are the livelihood for the women folk, it is hardly men’s job. Yet, applique items are slow moving items, hardly fetches any remunerative value. The women whom I interacted said the produces in the applique cluster are damped for dearth of market since 2020, this blocked their working capital; render the women artisans out of job.
What is needed is immediate intervention in terms of design inputs, creating e-commerce platform, finding new markets and educating them on UPI mode of business transactions. The present project of Foundation for MSME Clusters aims to address the gamut of these issues.
This is a case study on the applique artisans, they all are women. The study aims at Unravelling the Threads of Ultra-Poverty: A Closer Look at Applique Artisans in Village Ghoradia, Orissa

Fishing is one of the major economic activities and livelihood among communities. This marketing is attracting people on daily basis due to numerous benefits attached to it. This research examines the challenges affecting the artisans in the fishing business at Geidam local government area, Yobe state. Questionnaires were distributed to 100 artisans in the fishing business at the study area, 76 men and 24 women. Simple percentage was used to analyze the data collected from the respondents. Findings revealed that the major challenges affecting the artisans include: thefts, road accident, tree storms, lack of modern storage facilities, and lack of capital. Government should therefore support the artisans in terms of modern storage facilities such as cold room at subsidized rate, also, deploy professional fishery officers to help and improve sustainable fishing practice in the study area. The officers could educate the fishermen about hygienic and effective practices, give training on issue of illicit use of gears, and educate the communities about the nutritional benefits on fish products.

Tourism as a social, cultural and economic phenomenon, nowadays in the 21st century, has an impact on the economy of the places that have tourist attractions and that manage to develop platforms of digital tourist services, according to the situation, for the benefit of visitors in such a way that allows a better experience of the visit and a growth of the influx of visitors. This research, which aims to strengthen digital skills for entrepreneurship of women artisans, will be framed in a descriptive type of research, non-experimental design, and the population will be made up of artisan women linked to the native cotton line from Mórrope. In the research it was concluded that, according to the evaluation of digital skills, in their different dimensions, there was evidence of a low qualification of artisan women entrepreneurs in Mórrope in general. They showed little initiative to undertake projects related to information technologies because of the little knowledge they had about them. Therefore, digital skills are considered essential for success in entrepreneurship and it is important that women have access to education and training in technology to develop those skills.

Full textAbstract:
Artisans all ways create a new rethym and driven the world into a sphere of imagination of colours, pattern and beauty. Handicrafts are an important productive sector and export commodity for many developing countries and in some countries constitutes a significant part of the export economy. The growth of international markets for home accessory products and an increased interest in global goods have opened up new-market opportunities for artisans. In India, handicraft industry is a major source of income for rural communities employing over six million artisans including a large number of women and people belonging to the weaker sections of the society. It has been observed that in a poor state like Osisha, Hadicraft industry is one of the everlasting, age old and professional attitude of the rural unemployed women and children for their livelihood. Observation says, Artisans either neglected or they never got proper recognisation from the society. Sometimes even they fail to feed their family and which driven they to go for other categories of labour than promoting the age old traditions of our country. However, observers of the handicrafts sector predict that the escalating number of small businesses turning to handicraft production is unlikely to decline significantly in the future. The present study entails the various problems of the handicraft industry which can be worked upon by the mutual association ship of the Indian government, State government and the handicraft exporters in order to boost and promote the traditional sector.

Full textAbstract:
Indigenous textile artisans have, for centuries, maintained traditional methods of textile making that is central to their livelihood and cultural identity. However, the increasing commodification of indigenous textiles around the world has threatened the preservation of traditional, eco-friendly methods of textile production, making it imperative to learn how indigenous groups that have successfully sustained their traditional textile art, have done so. This ethnographic study peers through the lens of indigenous Nongtluh women textile artisans belonging to the Ri-Bhoi district in the state of Meghalaya in the north-eastern region of India, with the aim of understanding how their traditional textile art has been sustained. An interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) of in-depth interview, focus group, field observation and photographic data uncovered two overarching themes that represented internal and external factors that have contributed to the sustenance of the Nongtluh women’s traditional textile art. Internal factors signified the artisans’ deep love for their textile art through inheritance, passion, ingenuity and pride. External factors revealed the role of government, economic prospect and convenience in the sustenance of the traditional textile art in this region. An interpretive framework is presented, representing these factors through the tree of sustenance. Implications and limitations are discussed.

Handicrafts have historically always been practiced in Paraná Coast, Brazil, being a source of income for dozens of families, however this scenario has undergone profound changes with the pandemic of the New Coronavirus (COVID-19), but no studies were found that could reveal the changes caused among artisans as a result of the pandemic. Thus, descriptive exploratory research was carried out with 35 artisans residing on the Coast of Paraná. Women were the majority among the investigated group (65.7%) with an average age of 54 years old. The study revealed that in the perception of the interviewees it is possible to notice the recovery of the impacts caused by the pandemic on the family budget, with the increase in the income obtained from the sale of handicrafts, however in the opinion of the majority of the interviewees (68.57%) the recovery could have been accelerated if there were public policies for easy access to artisans. The study revealed that in Paraná Coast, after the pandemic of the New Coronavirus, there was a reduction in jobs and regional income, and it consequently affected family income and that, in the face of so many deaths, the class of widowed, black or brown women emerged in the investigated sample. The lives of these women are marked by precariousness and they feel more strongly the impacts of segregation due to the need to provide for all family needs by themselves.

Purpose: This paper analyzes the relationship between gender and the satisfaction of basic psychological needs in the artisanal pottery sector in Latin America. Methodological design: We surveyed 195 owners/managers of small family businesses operating in artisanal communities in three Latin American countries: Mexico, Honduras, and Colombia. We used structural equation modeling to offer evidence of factorial invariance of the measurement instrument across genders. Results: We found that women artisans seem to be more satisfied than men in meeting their need for autonomy and competence, revealing an important benefit of artisanal activity. No significant difference was found in relation to the fulfillment of the need for relatedness. Research limitations: The limitations of this research are derived from the sampling method, which was mainly driven by practical, financial, and logistical restrictions rather than by theoretical criteria. Nonresponse bias may have also affected our results. Findings: It is important for the artisanal sector to find motivational factors that contribute to the continuity and development of the sector.

Full textAbstract:
India’s rich cultural diversity and heritage provide a unique and huge resource for developing craft products. India is one of the important suppliers of handicrafts to the world market. The industry is mostly spread in rural and urban areas, highly labor-intensive, and cottage-based decentralized industry. Many artisans, on a part-time basis, are involved in the crafts work. In addition, many Governmental and non-governmental organizations are engaged creating income opportunities for these artisans. Few of them are engaged in women empowerment programs, developing training programs for women to make them self-reliant and independent learners. In today’s world, all are talking about sustainability. Many artisans are engaged in making eco-friendly and sustainable crafts from various natural materials when it comes to handicrafts. Natural fibers play a very important role in the production of the handicraft industry in India. The crafts like baskets, carpets, wall hangings, bottle holders, bags and accessories, home décor items, and many more are made using natural fibers like jute, banana, coir, sisal, bamboo, etc. The present paper will explain the procedures used for manufacturing these crafts using natural Sisal fiber. The data has been collected from various organizations for the process and methods used to manufacture these crafts. Producing a craft using natural material and eco-friendly processes helps in reducing the carbon footprint (the number of greenhouse gases, mostly CO2 released into the atmosphere by any activity) and makes the manufacturing process more environmentally friendly. Many Indian handicrafts and artisans have incorporated the ideology of eco-friendly fashion and contributing to reducing the environmental impact of these handcrafted products. Natural fibers are promoted in large quantities for making handicrafts. The growing popularity of fiber crafts is following the huge demand for Eco-friendly products throughout the world. Fibers extracted from bananas, sisal, Pina, and jute are mainly used to produce crafts.

Full textAbstract:
Four career orientations proposed by Cherniss (1980) were related to measures of satisfaction and well-being among men and women in police work. The career orientations were Self-investors, Social Activists, Careerists, and Artisans. Self-investors, a type of nonwork orientation, reported greater burnout, greater stress, and the least satisfying work setting. In addition, Self-investors exhibited poorer individual well-being (more psychosomatic symptoms, greater negative feeling states). Careerists and Artisans reported greater work satisfaction, least burnout, the least stress, and the most positive work setting. The concept of person-job fit, with the development of the Self-investor career orientation as a consequence of person-job misfit, is proposed as an explanation of these findings.

Full textAbstract:
Gandhiji in his article published in the Young India, entitled Lovely Assam said, “Every woman of Assam is a born weaver. No Assamese girl who does not weave can expect to become a wife. And she weaves fairy tales in cloth. Some of the old patterns were of matchless beauty. And as I saw these beautiful patterns, I could not help shedding a silent tear over India's past glory and her lost work”.
Although Assam is our Universe of Study, Khadi is made all over India and beyond like Bangladesh and Pakistan, which signifies a common thread of unity in these countries.
In the post independent era, Government intervened to develop Khadi. But in course of seven decades this household industry in Assam has gone through many ups and downs. Yet, it sustained itself because of its inherent strength. Khadi is an activity with women monopoly. Although every house of Assam has weavers there are only 7415 registered Khadi artisans who are working with NGOs, called Khadi Institutions that receive Government of India supports.
The industry has been finding it hard to absorb the jerk of Direct Benefit Transfer regime. The Paper makes an attempt to analyse the situation mostly based on primary data sources. It appears the production vis-à-vis wages that artisans earn are poor which do not help much to their social mobility still these women for decades working on old primitive looms and tools.
Yet Khadi, the hand-spun and hand-woven natural fabric, can outlive commercially with supportive polices.

Learning outcomes The case offers a unique opportunity to understand the market dynamics of a young luxury brand that aspires to empower women and pursue the broader goal of marketing sustainability in an emerging market. The discussion would enable learners to conduct environmental analysis and assess implications of crisis (current pandemic) on business, understand the marketing mix implications for a firm with societal orientation, learn to design effective brand positioning strategies and plan social and market driven brand strategies to ensure sustainable growth. Case overview/synopsis Gauri Malik, an investment banker-turned-social entrepreneur, forayed into the luxury home décor and furniture market with Sirohi, in 2019. In a market driven by exclusivity and design appeal, the brand had sustainability at its core. Malik worked with 200 women, from a conservative rural base in India to create traditional products that were hand-made with recycled natural fibres and upcycled plastic wastes. Driven by the goal of securing the livelihood for a larger group of women artisans, Malik wanted to scale up from 350 to 5000 products in the next five years. Hence, for materializing her ambitious plans she sought answers to- Could her home-trained women artisans deliver the promise of quality and finesse to support Sirohi scale up as a luxury brand? While it was extremely critical for Sirohi to have an articulated image-she wondered if the parallel focus on the up-market luxury brand image and sustainability-create competitive advantage or lead to diffused positioning? Complexity academic level Classified as MODERATE in terms of difficulty level, the case can be effectively used in post-graduate programmes for foundation courses on Marketing Management, elective courses on Brand Management or Sustainability Marketing.

Full textAbstract:
How important was it for merchants, artisans, inn-keepers and painters to have brothers and to work with them? By cross-referencing different sources (states of souls, testaments, inventories, court papers, compilations of legal and notary deeds), this article seeks to answer the question by taking some crucial aspects into consideration: daily life in the family home and other forms of cohabitation, the transmission of work tools and of vocations, the training of new generations and the support provided to family members in trouble. Seventeenth-century Rome is an interesting vantage point from which to investigate the importance of brothers' companies. The presence of the Papal Roman court extended employment opportunities, not only for courtiers, artists and servants who moved from one embassy to another and from one cardinal's court to another, but also for all those men (more men than women) on the margins who were able to earn some money from the conspicuous consumption of the upper classes. The flexibility of the labour market and the widespread phenomenon of male cohabitation could undermine the strength of family companies.

The Nachni s of Purulia are a group of women dancers who dance to the characteristic Jhumur of rural Bengal. The dance form of the Nachni is without a doubt part of the cultural heritage of Bengal—and in a broader sense, of India. Yet, a closer look at the community would show up a distinctive lack of acknowledgement about this art form. On the contrary, these women, these dancers are most of the time stigmatized and looked down upon, so much so that these women themselves have come to see their profession as something not to be proud of. This paper proposes to talk of the Nachni s in the Rarh Bengal area—especially, Purulia—to unearth some not-so-pretty causes for the stigma that keeps these artisans of Nachni dance from holding their head high in society.

Full textAbstract:
This paper deals with the analysis of an individual's style based on Kirton's adaption and innovation inventory (KAI) score. The KAI score identifies an individual's style, i.e adaptive or innovative. Analysis includes various constituents of a group e.g. managers, ministerial staff, technical supervisors, artisans, men and women. Group estimates of individuals and the individual's scores are indicative of a positive relationship and the KAI score can be used to identify an individual's style so as to form a team for a specific task or project.

This study assessed the environmental knowledge, attitude and behaviour among market women in the Nigerian city of Ibadan, Oyo State. A quantitative research design was adopted and 403 market women were randomly selected from different markets in Ibadan. Questionnaire items adapted from Fah and Sirisena (2014) and Abdullahi and Tuna (2014) were pilot-tested among female artisans in Ibadan. Data collected from the study were analyzed using frequency counts, simple percentages, ANOVA, and regression analysis. Results of the analysis revealed that market women have good knowledge about erosion, water pollution, amongst others but lack knowledge in the area of soil degradation. Market women also have pro-environmental attitude based on their responses and they exhibit environmentally responsible behaviours in the area of tree planting, refuse disposal etc. but display irresponsible environmental behaviour by not switching off electricity gadgets when not in use. The findings also showed that there is a significant effect of environmental knowledge on environmental attitude, environmental attitude on environmental behaviour and the joint effects of environmental knowledge and attitude on environmental behaviour among market women.

Unlike most contemporary New England banks, early commercial banks of the Middle Atlantic region were widely owned and frequently traded corporations. They lent to a broad segment of the business community, including artisans, farmers, and women. Banks lent widely, first, because their large capitalization made it difficult for a few privileged insiders to control a substantial percentage of loanable funds and, second, because banks were able to acquire reliable credit information on a variety of customers in an efficient manner. As a result, small enterprises had access to bank credit.
