Purpose: Today, the organizational innovation is considered as the most important factor to experience the increased productivity in organizations. Many previous studies focused on the innovation and its’ effectiveness for performance at different organizational levels. This study mainly focused on the relationship between organizational innovation and the employee performance. Organizational innovation comprises both creation of new and innovative ideas as well as their successful implementation. Another purpose of this study was to empirical test the mediating role of employee psychological wellbeing in the relationship of organizational innovation and employee performance. Design/Methodology/Approach: The convenient sampling methodology was used to collect the data. The researchers collected the data from 700 employees and their immediate supervisors. The data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Findings: The findings revealed that innovation has an impact on workers performance and their psychological well-being mediates the connection between the organizational innovation and performance of employees. Implications/Originality/Value: The proposed model was tested and validated through the empirical data, which is an important contribution of current study. These study findings are helpful for academicians, managers, and entrepreneurs.

Purpose: This research examines the impact of oil prices, exchange rate, stock market index, market volatility and inflation on the stock market liquidity. Design/Methodology/Approach: The sample period is 20 years from 2000 to 2019 on monthly basis. We employ the auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach for analyzing long run and short run nature of relationship among variables. We also apply diagnostics including, normality check, serial correlation test, heteroscedasticity test and CUSM models for the stability of the models. Findings: We finds that exchange rate and inflation have a long-term negative relationship, but oil prices, stock returns, and stock market volatility have a long-term positive relationship with stock market liquidity. Furthermore, these findings are robust under three different proxies of stock market liquidity for three sectors: text composite, textile weaving, and textile spinning. Implications/Originality/Value: This study extend the existing debate on the relationship between macroeconomic variables and stock market liquidity in developed world to the emerging equity market. It also contributes by examining the impact of macroeconomic variables on the sectorial levels in equity market by using three proxies for stock market liquidity including, Amihud liquidity, average trading and trading volume.

Purpose: The Single National Curriculum (SNC) is one of the basic items of manifesto of ruling party in Pakistan. The academic capability of Children with Visual Impairment (CWVI) is usually considered as that of non-disabled students due to their good cognitive skills. Directorate of Special Education Punjab adopted the same curriculum for CWVI. This study is an effort to identify the standards, benchmarks and SLOs which are difficult to accomplish for CWVI. It was a qualitative study by method and curriculum review/document analysis technique was applied to study the SNC. The complete curriculum of seven key learning areas at early childhood level and following six subjects of English, Urdu, Mathematics, General Knowledge, Islamiat and General Science were studied at primary level. The data was retrieved from the website of National Curriculum Council, Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training, Islamabad, Government of Pakistan. Collected information was coded, major themes were derived and interpreted. Results revealed that a large number of standards, benchmarks and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) were easy to accomplish for CWVI as non-disabled children but many standards, benchmarks and SLOs were not easy to accomplish for CWVI due to their visual limitations and lack of sufficient need based support. The study recommended that proper adaptations, modifications and accommodations should be made for CWVI especially to attain the geometry, science and geography related standards, benchmarks and SLOs including adaptations proposed by Directorate of Special Education Punjab. Pictorial representations and visual tasks should be substituted with some other learning tasks for CWVI.

In this age of globalization and scientific revolution, education has got more focus as a fundamental right of human. In Pakistan, substantial efforts are made, both in government and private sectors of education, to promote education. Resultantly, a huge number of educational institutions have been established. The students are the only elements for whom the whole system of education is established. Both, parents and teachers, should feel the responsibility of providing the students with all the educational opportunities for the development as conscientious citizens. This article is an extension of the work by Iqbal et al., (2020), which focuses on exploring the strategies to improve secondary education. Iqbal et. al., (2020) used QFD methodology, and found out the Needs and Demands (N&Ds) of students and their parents; and then explored the Technical Solutions (TSs) to address these N&Ds. The results showed that ‘Teaching Behavior’ was highly important TS with weight of 71, and ‘Checked through Technical devices’ with final weight 57 and “Followed Proper time table by teachers” with weight 55 remained at second and third positions respectively. If we consider weight as the priority factor, the N&D with highest weight deserves to be considered first. But, statistically, because of the random variation in the data, two TSs with different weights could be of same importance. The rationale of this article is to test the weights difference of two TSs by using the methodology developed by Iqbal et al. (2014). This will provide guideline to others education experts to test the significance of any two TSs whether they are equally important or not. If the computed difference is insignificance, they may be treated equally.
在全球化和科技革命的时代,教育作为人类的一项基本权利受到越来越多的关注。在巴基斯坦,政府和私营教育部门都为促进教育作出了重大努力。因此,建立了大量的教育机构。学生是整个教育体系赖以建立的唯一要素。家长和教师都应该感到有责任为学生提供一切教育机会,使他们成为有良心的公民。本文是Iqbal等人(2020)的工作的延伸,其重点是探索改善中等教育的策略。Iqbal et. al.(2020)使用QFD方法,找出了学生及其家长的需求和要求(n&d);然后探索技术解决方案(TSs)来解决这些n&d。结果显示,“教学行为”是最重要的TS,权重为71,“通过技术设备检查”最终权重为57,“教师遵循适当时间表”最终权重为55,分别位居第二和第三位。如果我们把权重作为优先考虑因素,权重最高的N&D应该首先考虑。但是,在统计上,由于数据的随机变化,两个不同权重的TSs可能具有相同的重要性。本文的基本原理是使用Iqbal et al.(2014)开发的方法来测试两个TSs的权重差异。这将为其他教育专家测试任何两个TSs的重要性提供指导,无论它们是否同等重要。如果计算的差异是微不足道的,它们可以被平等对待。

Purpose: In this network age, among the other factors which increase economic growth, the R&D activities, a pivotal and effective factor, carried out by a country. The present study attempts to investigate the empirical R&D expenditure-economic growth nexus in developing and developed economies, and also provides useful insight about how R&D investment works to enhance the economic growth of a country. Design/Methodology/Approach: In this regard, 21 years data of top 100 economies of the world from 1995 to 2015 has been utilized. The Panel ARD Model approach has been preferred to explore the impact of R&D investment on economic growth (GDP). For construction of the estimation model, five different variables are used. In order to accomplish the results, along with analysing the data of 100 countries a whole, analysis has also been made by dividing countries into different categories and groups. Overall, the Panel ARDL test has been performed on nine different groups of countries. Findings: The results reveal that, ceteris paribus, there is a strong positive association between R&D expenditure and economic growth (GDP) in the long-run; 1% increase in GERD leads to 0.07% increase in GDP. However, the impact in the developing countries (0.043%) is lower compared to the developed OECD countries (0.27%). No impact of the R&D expenditure on economic growth is observed in the short-run. Implications/Originality/Value: The study presents some thought-provoking ideas, policy recommendations and implications for the policy makers, planners and researchers, especially in the context of developing economies.

Purpose: This paper discusses that Pakistani judicial approach to separability, arbitrability and grounds to assume jurisdictions to decide these mattes does not sit well with the ICSID jurisprudence. Design/Methodology/Approach: Qualitative approach has been used. Findings: The Supreme Court’s judgment in Reko Diq is discussed in the light of awards rendered by ICSID to establish that the jurisdiction to decide the separability of arbitration agreement, arbitrability of a dispute or subject matter does not rest with a domestic court where parties have already conferred jurisdiction to determine these matters to ICSID and that Pakistani court cannot use any ground to assume jurisdiction over these matters. Implications/Originality/Value: The paper concludes that the judicial system of Pakistan needs reforms to formalize and ascertain the role of domestic arbitration councils in alignment with the ICSID. This will help Pakistani firms competing in international markets to get necessary legal support at home in line with international standards.
