This paper discusses the efficacy of a gamified approach to promoting financial literacy and sound financial decision-making in children between the ages of twelve and eighteen. The study employs a specifically designed board game targeted to a Pakistani audience focusing on key principles in investing, ownership, and financial resource allocation. Trial runs were organized at a local school in a community with relatively fair representation across economic strata, and the results obtained show a marked increase in financial intuition in children in higher age brackets, with uptake decreasing roughly proportional to a decrease in age. Considerations for the level of complexity and quantifiable analysis of the results obtained have been discussed below.

The adoption of E-banking by private banks in Punjab has seen momentous growth in modern era. This growth can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing penetration of smartphones, improved internet connectivity, and evolving consumer preferences. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate consumer satisfaction levels concerning E-banking initiation provided by exclusive banks in Punjab, Pakistan. Additionally, the study aimed to identify the key components that influence consumer satisfaction with E-banking in private banks in Punjab. These factors include service quality, security, user experience, and innovation. To conduct this study, a quantitative cross-sectional approach was employed, and the sample size consisted of 200 customers. The obtained reliability of the study fell within an acceptable range. The results of this research provide significant insights into the complex relationship between E-banking adoption, the various influencing factors, and overall customer satisfaction levels in private banks in Punjab. Unequal access to technology and digital literacy can limit the benefits of E-banking to certain segments of the population, potentially leading to dissatisfaction among excluded groups. Banks should work on bridging this divide to ensure broader customer satisfaction. Private banks in Punjab must continue to innovate and adapt to evolving customer expectations to maximize the benefits of E-banking and maintain high levels of consumer satisfaction.

As the world embraces sustainability and environmental thinking, organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of integrating green practices into their human resource management (HRM) processes. This study examines the complex dynamics between green HRM practices, green volunteer behavior (GVB), and the mediating role of intellectual ownership (PO) in the banking sector. The findings indicate that organizations in this category have adopted moderate levels of green HRM practices. Importantly, research reveals that GHRM practices positively influence employee psychological ownership, which in turn encourages green volunteer practices. The mediation analysis shows the significant effect of psychological ownership on the relationship between Green HRM and volunteer green practices. This suggests that fostering a sense of intellectual ownership among employees is important for meaningful communication in sustainability initiatives. These results highlight the importance of implementing green HRM practices as well as enhancing employees’ psychological connections with these practices to enhance their engagement in sustainability initiatives in the 1990s. Organizations seeking to improve their sustainability efforts can leverage their employees’ commitment and passion for environmental goals through the intermediary role of mind ownership relies on considering human resources in green.
