The importance of having a coordination cell, such as a Project Management Office (PMO), within a project organization, cannot be overstated, especially as projects become more complex and involve multiple stakeholders. One crucial aspect of a PMO is its ability to incorporate the principles of sustainability within its process framework. By considering sustainability, the PMO ensures that project requirements are met in a way that minimizes the need for rework and promotes environmentally and socially responsible practices. This alignment with sustainability principles contributes to the long-term success and positive impact of projects. A well-established PMO plays a vital role in preventing project failures by addressing challenges. Scope creep refers to uncontrolled changes or additions to the project scope and a failure to meet project objectives. The PMO helps manage scope by establishing clear processes for scope change control and ensuring that changes are properly evaluated, approved, and incorporated into the project plan.

The study will examine the performance of Islamic and conventional banks in Pakistan, as well as the impact of concentration on bank efficiency. The structure conduct and performance method is a structural method and the theory of this model holds that the level of profits acquired by the bank is influenced by market structure and the degree of competition. The data for Islamic and conventional have been taken from financial reports of 4 Islamic and 4 conventional banks for the period of 2006 to 2020. PLS regression method has been applied which is then verified with the help of the Breusch-Pagan test and analysis further tested fixed and random effect models which were verified with the help of the Hausman test. The finding of the study confirmed the significant relationship between HHI and CR with Performance indicators (ROA, ROE, NIM, and NPM) of both banking systems. However, the ROE of conventional banks was observed non-significant with Concentration variables.

The Islamic finance human capital demand is accelerating with a rapidly growing Islamic banking and finance (IBF) industry. In Pakistan, the IBF industry moves forward to be more competitive and sophisticated. Therefore, there is a need to explore the employability skills, which the IBF employers mainly require from the new Islamic finance graduates. This study examines the viability of employability skills for the employment of Islamic bank graduates in Pakistan. A quantitative method was adopted to collect data from 120 respondents using a self-administered questionnaire. The findings of the factor analysis suggested five variables deemed to be relevant in IBF graduates' employability skills for Islamic banks which are communication, interpersonal, technical, social, and subject knowledge skills. This study attempts to obtain the employer's perspective that will be used to refine and strengthen the existing skills, knowledge, and course structure in academia.

This study explores the nexus between the quality of work life (QWL) and organizational commitment (OC) among teachers of Working Folks Grammar High Schools (WFHGS) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan. The study also examines the mediating role of supportive leadership in this relationship. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, and the data were collected from 384 teachers using a structured questionnaire. The results of the study indicate that QWL and OC are positively correlated, and supportive leadership plays a mediating role in this relationship. The findings suggest that enhancing QWL and developing Supportive leadership can increase the OC of teachers in WFHGS, leading to a more committed and engaged workforce. The study contributes to the understanding of the importance of QWL and supportive leadership in the educational sector and provides insights for managers and policymakers to improve the work environment and foster greater commitment among teachers.

This study explores how political instability, influences economic performance. Pakistan's recent two decades have seen the overthrow of democratic governments, the installation of dictatorships, and conflicts between politicians, bureaucrats, the military, and the judiciary. The researcher used primary and secondary data. Political instability statistics came from questionnaires and political instability indexes, whereas economic growth metrics including inflation, public debt, and GDP came from IMF, World Bank, Asian Development, Ministry of Finance, Government of Pakistan, and State Bank of Pakistan databases. We collected data for 20 years (from 2000-2020). Descriptive and inferential statistics tested hypotheses. Thus, assumptions were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Linear, and Multiple Regression. This study found that political instability affected the economic growth of Pakistan. Political instability decreases economic growth statistically and economically.

The impact of banking competition on financial stability/fragility is an essential issue in the banking literature. There is much research on the association between financial stability/fragility and banking competition in developed countries. However, no prior research examines the comparison of conventional and Islamic banks. The study uses data from nine countries Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq and Jorden for the period 2010-2020. This study uses a fixed effects model to examine the influence of competition and income diversity on bank financial stability. We study how these variables affect Islamic and conventional banks differently using an empirical framework. Our findings show a considerable positive association between competition and conventional banks' financial stability; however, this relationship was found to be insignificant for Islamic banks. Furthermore, according to our research, the diversification of income has a positive impact on the financial well-being of both Islamic and conventional banks. Our study highlights the significance of fostering trustworthy competition within the banking sector to enhance overall financial stability. Furthermore, our findings indicate that promoting healthy competition in the industry can contribute to the improvement of financial stability.
