Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to examine the impact of workplace incivility on knowledge hiding behavior. The study also empirically analyzed the moderating effect of psychological entitlement between workplace incivility and knowledge hiding behavior. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study utilized a cross-sectional survey design to collect the data using a structured questionnaire. The participants were selected using convenience sampling. A total of 465 academicians participated in the study belonging to Pakistan's different higher education institutions. Findings: The findings revealed that workplace incivility positively impacts knowledge hiding behavior. Moreover, psychological entitlement moderated the relationship between workplace incivility and knowledge hiding behavior. Implications/Originality/Value: The current study highlighted the examination of the antecedent of knowledge hiding behavior. The personality disposition has been studied as a moderator between incivility and knowledge hiding. This study disclosed how psychological entitlement could change a person's tendency to share knowledge with peers.

Purpose: Current research intended to probe the impact of executive compensation, CEO compensation and diversity on the organizational financial performance with the moderating role of systemic factors. Systemic factors are overall country based factors such as political, economic, social and legal factors that may moderate the relationship of executive compensation, CEO compensation, diversity and organizational performance.

Executive compensation, CEO compensation and board gender diversity are bootstrapped on organizational performance by using MS Excel and Stata17. Linear regression and moderated hierarchical regression analysis is used for data analysis. Findings: Results shows that Executive compensation, CEO compensation and diversity has signification positive impact on organizational performance. Moreover systemic factors moderates the predictors and outcome relationship Implications/Originality/Value: This paper explores the relationship of Executive & CEO compensation, board gender diversity and organizational performance with the moderating role of systemic factors, which has largely been ignored in the previous literature

Purpose: Microfinance institutions impose a very high interest rate only to enhance the wealth of owner of the institution and stockholders. However, Islamic microfinance is the opposite of traditional microfinance; it is a form of interest-free financing dedicated to societal well-being. The research's primary objectives are to identify public knowledge of Shariah-based microfinance and ascertain the factors that contribute to the acceptance of Islamic microfinance in Pakistan. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study investigated the significance of shariah-based microfinance in Pakistan, which is based on the Islamic financial system, and used a quantitative descriptive technique to estimate the factors. Findings: There are several factors that give to the acceptability of Islamic banking. The most important variables are: cost-benefit analysis, business support, product and service quality, religious obligation, awareness and knowledge, trust and reputation. After an examination of all the acceptability factors, it was found that each factor has an effect on the acceptability of Islamic microfinance in Pakistan. Implications: The study has various implications for policymakers wishing to promote Islamic microfinance at the national and international level.

Purpose: The study provided the age and gender-specific normative standard by using LMS technique and comparison with international reference values for the muscular strength by hand grip among adolescents of South Punjab, Pakistan. Design/Methodology/Approach: A cross sectional descriptive research design was adopted, 60 public high school with 2970 students aged 12-16 contributed. Hand grip strength was measured using (GRIPX Digital Hand Dynamometer). LMS method was used for calculating reference norms. Age and gender-specific smoothed percentile curves P5th to P95th were acquired for hand grip strength. Findings: The results revealed that the boys were higher in muscular strength than their counterparts, South Punjab’s adolescents were found lower in strength than the compared adolescents. Around 40% of the population is falling in the poor and very poor zone. Implications/Originality/Value: The current study presented the foremost age and gender specific hand grip strength percentile curves and provided the health benefit zones for the adolescent of South Punjab.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The quantitative technique has been used to test the hypotheses. The study was conducted on two hundred respondents containing both genders from academies and the model was valid. In this study, four public sector universities, BUITEMS, UOB, Khuzdar University of Engineering and Technology, and Sardar Bahadur Khan Women University Quetta have been selected. Multiple regression and correlation analysis along with a test of mediation and F-Statistics were used. Findings: The results revealed that all these three newspapers gave significant coverage to the peace talks issue but Nation gave more coverage to the issue. Findings also revealed that Dawn and The News, most of the time showed neutral behavior but tilted towards an unfavorable position regarding peace talks. The nation showed strongly unfavorable behavior regarding peace talks. Implications/Originality/Value: So it is concluded that all these three newspapers were mostly against the peace talks and the government and media were not on the same page on the issue of peace talks.

Purpose: Fiscal decentralization is an emerging phenomenon in Pakistan from the last few decades. A large number of studies have been investigated the socio-economic and political effects of fiscal decentralization in Pakistan. But none of the study has examined that how fiscal decentralization has affected gender parity in education in Pakistan. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study empirically investigated the dynamic relationship between fiscal decentralization and gender equality in education by employing different measures of fiscal decentralization and used autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) bounds test approach for cointegration testing for the period of 1975 to 2020. The bounds tests suggest that the variables of interest are bound together in the long run when gender parity in education is dependent variable. Findings: The long run relationship is also confirmed by the significance of associated equilibrium correction. The robust analysis of this study suggest that fiscal decentralization is improving gender equality in education particularly education expenditure decentralization and revenue decentralization. Implications/Originality/Value: The results are important for fiscal policy formulation in public and social sector in Pakistan. Further, these results might be helpful for other developing countries that share a common experience in applying fiscal decentralization reforms and struggling to reduce gender disparity in education sector.

Purpose: The perceived performance of the public sector universities mainly depends upon on academia particularly the faculty members’ potential contribution, quality of teaching and knowledge generation. HRM practices are designed in such a way to accelerate performance of employees, for attaining organizational aims and objectives with organizational justice. Whereas the workforce of any organization is deemed as dynamic asset to contribute for institutional performance. Therefore, career success of the faculty members has been taken as mediating variable in the study. Design/Methodology/Approach: For crafting the research study, faculty members were chosen from Pakistan’s public-sector universities. Whereas, to establish the conceptual framework, the researchers have applied the Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT) as the underpinning theory for this construct. For sampling purposes, proportionate stratified sampling has been designed; random sampling was utilized to select the respondents within each stratum. The questionnaire was distributed among individuals personally. Afterword, data were cleaned for missing values, outliers, aberrant values and tested for normality, reliability, and validity. Findings: Hypotheses were tested by applying partial least squares - structural equation modelling (SEM) technique through statistical software SMART PLS licenced version 3. The construct in the context of Pakistan in amongst the preliminary studies. Implications/Originality/Value: The findings will be helpful for higher education commission of Pakistan for designing strategies.
