The term hybrid regime has recently become very popular in the Pakistani politics. Not many people outside the select group of political scientists were even aware of concept only a decade ago. This paper discusses this concept in detail in context of Pakistan’s political history to prove that hybrid regime is not an anomaly but a norm in Pakistan’s political system and that Pakistan’s regimes throughout the history were neither pure democracies nor absolute stratocracies. It proves that from inception till this day Pakistan has always had hybrid regimes. Government is framed apparently by civilian political people, but somewhere the role of establishment in governmental affairs is absolutely undeniable. This study aimed to explore the leading issues that are considered as significant contributors towards the political regime along with its implication towards desired change. In this connection, present study uses the qualitative content analysis technique for data analysis for finding the answers of the research questions and reaching the desired conclusion of study. Thus, the findings reveals that the government in Pakistan is neither liberal democracy nor authoritarian rather; the government in our country is hybrid regime.

This study aims to investigate the relationships between supervisor-based ostracism and ingratiatory and extra-role behaviors in Pakistan, with job insecurity and political skills playing moderating and mediating roles, respectively. The supervisor-based ostracism, ingratiatory, as well as extra-role behaviors were hypothesized to have the direct correlations with one another. The survey was administered and data analyzed through different statistical procedures in order to examine the desired relationship among the research variables. The results provide significant information that helps in reaching the desired conclusion. The findings showed that with the exception of political skills, all of the variables have significant positive relationships; supervisor-based ostracism has a positive relationship with the ingratiatory behaviors that lead to extra role behaviors; and job insecurity and political skills moderate effects of dependent variables. Thus, based upon the results of study, certain recommendations have been extracted for policy makers as well as future researchers along with provision of managerial and theoretical implications.

It is a well-accepted fact that race and colour are only deceptive symbols and notions that influential groups in society use to justify denying anyone's basic human rights and excluding them from society. The research begins by looking at role played by African American community in defining tactics to resist political exclusion, falsified information, & unjustifiable segregation by white supremacy and its discussive practises in Nancy Johnson novel The Kindest Lie. Theoretical groundwork for the textual study of the chosen novel is provided by postmodernism. Lyotard's (1979) concept of scepticism to metanarrative and deconstruction of major ideologies is worth mentioning. Study shows that Black Americans use specific tactics to challenge system that cares white supremacy; they take on strong organizations and challenge structural prejudices. On other side, white supremacy is built on intolerance and disrespect for other social groups and the belief that Black people are naturally inferior and should not be treated equally. The African American people and freedom fighters made plans to cope with subtly exiting racism & discursive practices of white supremacy by focusing and promoting their own culture and history.

The purpose of this research is to investigate relationship between stress at work and amount of job satisfaction experienced by surgeons, while taking into consideration moderating effects of social support. First of two aspects of occupational stress that are investigated is the failure to maintain a healthy balance between one's personal and professional lives. Second is stress that is experienced while working. To collect primary data, questionnaire was sent to 500 medical professionals, the majority of whom were surgeons employed by private institutions. Results of this research demonstrated that a healthy work-life balance has a significant impact on the job satisfaction. Moreover, lower levels of job satisfaction have been connected to workplace stress. The unfavorable association between work-life balance and job satisfaction is minimized when surgeons have access to social services. Also, it reduces the detrimental impact of work-related stress on performance, that is significant advantage. Top-level managers have potential to boost surgeons’ satisfaction by implementing stress management practices in the workplace and offering social support.
