With the emergence of globalization, the business models have been completely transformed. A growing number of businesses are operating globally giving rise to diverse multicultural teams. Nevertheless, cultural differences have undermined the efficiency and decision-making of the international project teams as there is more cultural diversity in the teams than ever before. Hence, it has become imperative for the organizations to take cultural diversity into consideration. Prominent cultural studies postulate that having diverse teams in the organizations can have both challenges and opportunities, yet it lacks emphasis of cultural understanding in project management. Moreover, digitization of business operations have moved organizations towards more specialized roles instead of traditional roles. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of team dynamics, their cultural backgrounds, values, and beliefs. It also emphasizes project team development to adopt increased empathetic attitude and emotional intelligence. The research has employed qualitative data retrieved from questionnaires and interviews. A project group development model is proposed aimed at avoiding conflicts arising due to lack of cultural understanding .The findings show that multicultural project groups will experience conflicts caused by cultural differences. Therefore, cultural understanding is vital for group members before they start working together as a group. In addition, cultural training, effective communication, teambuilding exercises and well-defined project goals are important determinants in avoiding team conflicts. Furthermore, project management methodologies should also address cultural aspects of project groups in addition to technical details as present studies lack any cultural advice.

The tangible and imitable nature of products has led to the commoditization of most manufactured goods. Manufacturing companies have recognized servitization as a strategic solution to avoid falling into the trap of product commoditization. This study examines the relationship between servitization and customer loyalty in indigenous cable manufacturing firms in Anambra State. Four hypotheses and research questions, formulated in line with the research objective, guide the study. A survey research design was adopted, and the primary instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire. Data were collected from 270 customers across three cable manufacturing firms in Southeast Nigeria. The collected data were sorted, coded, and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25, and the study hypotheses were tested using multiple regression analysis. The study found a significant positive effect for advanced services, while basic services had a significant negative effect. However, the effect of intermediate services was not significant. It is concluded that servitization can increase customer loyalty, although its contribution is minimal. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that advanced services have the highest positive impact on customer loyalty. Based on the findings, the study recommends, among other things, that firms seeking to servitize should provide advanced services to customers to increase loyalty. Additionally, they should offer product support and consulting services, as well as provide technical training and seminars to help customers achieve their goals while using their products.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of Personality, shopping enjoyment tendency, materialism, impulse buying tendency, and cultural dimension namely collectivism and individualism on impulse buying behavior. This study employed a quantitative approach that involved a convenience sampling technique to collect data from customers (n=320) using a structured survey. Structured Equation Modeling was applied to analyze data by using AMOS 24. According to the study's findings, shopping enjoyment tendency and materialism strongly affect impulse buying. Further, buyers with a high tendency to impulsiveness, buy more spontaneously. More importantly, the findings revealed that personality traits; neuroticism and extraversion, have also a strongly positive impact on consumers’ IBB. This study provides important information regarding the buying behavior of consumers from the retail sector of a developing nation and checks the effect of the above-mentioned important factors on consumers’ impulse buying. The outcomes of this study will help retailers and marketers to develop effective strategies in accordance with consumer buying behavior.

Guided by the AMO theory, VBN theory, and warm-glow-giving theory, the theoretical glue that joint the proposed model together this study investigates how employing Green HRM practices and Eco-Islamic Phenomenon (i.e. religiosity) corporate sector can achieve an equilibrium between Environmental-sustainability (ES) and Subjective Wellbeing (SWB), through the centrality of pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs). An in-depth review of strategically selected qualitative/empirical/conceptual articles from the Scopus and Web of Science databases on the multi-disciplined subjects (i.e., GHRMPs, Religiosity, PEBs, ES, and SWB) published from 1978 to 2022 has been executed. A review of the literature derived 12 hypotheses combining cross-domain consolidated model for the corporate-sector of Pakistan, comprehending ‘how’ equilibrium between SWB and ES could be actualized. Distinctive from previous studies, the proposed model brings a new horizon to explore the untried associations of cross domains PEBs (i.e., workplace, public & private sphere) with GHRMPs, Religiosity, ES, and SWB to provide a comprehensive understanding of the underlying behavioral process bridging GHRMPs and Religiosity with ES and LS, respectively. This study offers contextual support to the literature where studies connecting sustainability and subjective well-being (SWB) are lacking especially in developing countries context.
在AMO理论、VBN理论和暖光理论的指导下，本研究探讨了采用绿色人力资源管理实践和生态伊斯兰现象(即宗教虔诚)的企业部门如何通过亲环境行为(PEBs)的中心性来实现环境可持续性(ES)和主观幸福感(SWB)之间的平衡。从Scopus和Web of Science数据库中战略性地选择了1978年至2022年发表的多学科主题(即GHRMPs, Religiosity, PEBs, ES和SWB)的定性/实证/概念性文章进行了深入审查。对文献的回顾得出了12个假设，结合巴基斯坦企业部门的跨领域整合模型，理解了SWB和ES之间的“如何”平衡可以实现。与以往的研究不同，该模型为探索跨领域peb(即工作场所、公共和私人领域)与GHRMPs、religosity、ES和SWB之间的关联提供了一个新的视角，从而全面理解GHRMPs和religosity分别与ES和LS之间的潜在行为过程。本研究为文献提供了上下文支持，特别是在发展中国家的背景下，缺乏将可持续性和主观幸福感(SWB)联系起来的研究。

The major intent of this research is to inspect the impact of work-life conflict, job stress and work overload of dual-career life partners on job contentment and how perceived organizational support moderates their relationship. We collected data from 170 employees of different organizations and companies in the capital city Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Moderation regression inspection was used to get results from the data and close-ended and adopted questionnaires were used in order to collect data. Analysis findings described that work overload, job stress and work-life conflict have a negative impact on job satisfaction in dual-profession couples. And if the organization provides support, then these problems may reduce. This study helps and guides managers, policymakers and market leaders in order to develop a flexible and supportive organizational culture to boost their workers’ job contentment. The data we collected for this study was mainly from two cities in Pakistan, Islamabad and Rawalpindi. So we are not able to generalize this study to the whole country. Other researchers and investigators may target other problems of dual-career professionals and they can target other cities’ populations.

This article establishes the effect of collaboration/networking on research productivity among researchers in the Federal Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (FMSTI). The study utilises a large cross-sectional survey data collected from senior researchers, scientists and engineers (1611) in the seventeen Agencies of FMSTI. The results showed that internal collaborations among researchers and scientists were high and the purpose of collaboration includes research engagement, grantsmanship writing and journal publications. Most researchers also engage in external collaboration, particularly with other research institutes, Universities and Polytechnics. A few researchers reported collaborations with the industry. The analysis further showed a significant and positive effect of collaboration on research productivity. The results suggested that collaboration, whether internal or external, has a strong potential to improve research productivity. The article concludes that the management of these institutions needs to provide adequate platforms/incentives for researchers to collaborate and network to improve performance.

Leading trends over the last couple of years tend to be the increasing value of big data and analyzing the information through analytics. The information has tremendous value; fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) businesses must capitalize on the assortment of information by proper and in-depth evaluation with the usage of big data analytics (BDA). Objective: This article seeks to spotlight the changing dynamics of the SC managing atmosphere, to recognize the way the two leading trends will influence supply chain management (SCM) in future, to demonstrate the advantages which may be derived, and to generate suggestions to provide SC managers if BDA is adopted. Method: A survey was done amongst workers of multinational FMCG businesses across the world: the Americas, Asia etc. Systemic situation modeling is used in the quantitative evaluation to analyze the information gathered from surveys. The process of deriving value from the large quantities of information within the SCM is defined. Results: The adoption of BDA technologies can develop extensive value-added as well as a financial gain for companies and can quickly be a regular during the entire market. It is demonstrated, through examples, the way SCM location might be influenced by these brand-new developments and trends. Within the examples, BDA have been adopted, utilized, and applied effectively. Big data and analytics to draw out value coming from the information can create a big influence. Conclusion: It is clearly suggested chain administrators pay attention to these 2 trends, since better usage of BDA can ensure they hold abreast with innovations modifications, which could help improve company competitiveness.

The purpose of this study was to find out the factors that are responsible for entrepreneurs to quit entrepreneurship and join the job industry. This qualitative study was designed to fulfill the objectives via interviewing ex-entrepreneurs and getting first-hand information from business owners themselves who had faced the problem in their business tenure. Interviewing the respondents brought out a number of factors that had ultimately forced them to wind up their businesses. These factors were then carved out broadly categorized as internal or external factors which led to either managerial or financial reasons. Conducting this research was a tedious task as people are not willing to share their previous or unpleasant memories furthermore. They were hesitant to share a part of their personal life experience. Due to limited resources and time the research was conducted in the city of Lahore which and therefore limited in its scope. Nevertheless, this study has produced credible information which can be useful for future entrepreneurs.
