Organizations consider employee role clarity and training & development to be the primary causes of discontentment, which ultimately results in a decline in intrinsic motivation and individual work performance. This study focuses on telecom workers employed by various organizations in Pakistan's Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The study aimed to inspect the influence of role clarity and training & development on work performance and intrinsic motivation as well as the impact of intrinsic motivation on work performance. Secondly, to identify the mediation effect of intrinsic motivation on the relationship of role clarity and training & development with work performance and to measure the moderation influence of transformational leadership on the association of role clarity and intrinsic motivation. A sample of 446 respondents revealed that role clarity and training & development have a considerable positive influence on intrinsic motivation and work performance. Moreover, intrinsic motivation also has a significant positive effect on work performance, and intrinsic motivation mediates the relationship between role clarity and training & development with work performance respectively. Finally, transformational leadership moderates and strengthens the association between role clarity and intrinsic motivation. Organizations must prioritize the emphasis placed on the intrinsic motivation of employees. This strategic approach is essential to effectively utilize the entire effort, hence enhancing overall performance.

This study examined the relationship between remote working and work-life balance with mediating and moderating effects of social support on work-life balance. The study surveyed the information technology employees in and around Hyderabad. The data were gathered using a structured questionnaire for the three constructs remote working, social support, and work-life balance. Only the items for the three constructs with factor loadings of > .5 were considered for this study. The reliability and internal consistency of the questionnaire were assessed by Cronbach’s alpha and Split -half (odd-even) correlation. The estimated composite reliability and average variance extracted /convergent validity for the constructs are reliable. The data from 301 valid responses were analyzed using structural equation modeling with IBM AMOS 28 version. The assessment with Shapiro Wilk’s test statistic indicates that data were normally distributed. The model fit indices demonstrated excellent model fit. There was a statistically insignificant direct effect between remote working and work-life balance; however, social support fully mediates and moderates the work-life balance of the information technology employees. The study assessed the moderating role of social support on the relationship between remote working and work-life balance. The results reveal positive and significant moderating effects of social support on the relationship between remote working and work-life balance. The slope analysis indicates that at a high level of social support, the impact of remote working on work-life balance is positively stronger than low social support, indicating more work-life balance during remote working with high social support.

The emergence of blockchain technology has captured considerable interest across various industries due to its ability to revolutionize traditional systems by ensuring enhanced security, transparency, traceability and efficiency. More recently, the higher education sector has begun exploring the adoption of blockchain technology, acknowledging its potential to transform multiple facets of the educational landscape, including academic administration, the learning and teaching process, and academic research. The primary goal of this study is to ascertain the factors that influence individuals' behavioral intention to adopt and use blockchain-based educational platforms. Moreover, the research aims to underscore the pivotal role played by educational leadership in advancing the adoption of blockchain technology within higher education institutions. Blockchain technology is recognized as a cutting-edge solution that has the potential to streamline processes, reduce costs, and foster trust within the educational ecosystem. A novel conceptual model based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was developed and tested for the purpose of this study. Data was gathered from 175 respondents across eight European countries through a structural questionnaire. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to examine the hypotheses of the model. The study unveils perceived trust as the primary determinant influencing the behavioral intention to use blockchain-based educational solutions, underscoring its pivotal role in embracing innovative technologies by instilling confidence and reducing uncertainty among users. Furthermore, educational partner readiness, performance expectancy, and effort expectancy also have a positive impact on the usage intention. Additionally, the results also highlight the significance of leadership blockchain readiness in shaping the actual usage behavior. The findings offer valuable insights into the adoption of blockchain technology in higher education. Also, the study extends previous research by utilizing an extended UTAUT framework, and it contributes to the emerging literature on blockchain implementation and technology acceptance models
