Abstract : The new National Education Policy - NEP 2020 envisions Indian higher education as a favoured global education destination (a Vishwa Guru) for international students. To achieve this goal and Internationalisation at Home objectives, the NEP 2020, amongst its other initiatives, proposes enrolling more international students in Indian universities, setting up international student offices at Indian higher education institutions and inviting leading overseas universities to set up campuses in India. Assessing the lack of empirical studies, this research project empirically studies and delivers insights on the said topics. This research project achieves its aim by generating and analysing relevant primary data and employing qualitative as well as quantitative approaches. By using a scientific approach to gain relevant insights, this study supports informed policymaking for a NEP 2020 perspective on internationalising Indian higher education.

Developing Vroom’s Expectancy Model to increase Academic Library usage using grounded theory

Reseacher:- Developing Vroom’s Expectancy Model to increase Academic Library usage using grounded theory

Completion year: 2019
Duration: 1 year
Grant : Rs. 3,20,000/-

Purpose : Academic libraries continuously adapting the new technologies and other services according to changing expectation of their users.

The purpose of study is to understand the motivation of academic library users by developing Vroom’s expectancy theory in the context of academic libraries using the grounded theory approach. The motivation to visit an academic library can be classified as intrinsic motivation and force choice motivation. Expectancy in the context of academic libraries is related to ease or difficulty in accessing library and its resources which relates to ease of location access, timing access, remote access, access to siblings and discipline norms for access. Instrumentality is related to infrastructure, information, service and promotion. Valence is related to pleasure and satisfaction. The concepts were integrated into a theoretical model. Practical implications the understanding of user motivation through Vroom’s theory will help academic libraries to increase user motivation, thereby increasing usage of library resources. Originality/value Vroom’s expectancy theory of motivation in the context of academic libraries was developed using the grounded theory approach.
