صدرِذی وقار اور میرے ہم مکتب شاہینو!
آج مجھے جس عنوان پر اظہار خیال کرناہے وہ ہے:’’یوم دفاع پاکستان ‘‘
جنابِ صدر!
اقوام کی زندگی میں ایسے دن بھی آئے کہ انہیں اپنی بقاء کے لیے تن من دھن کی بازی لگانا پڑی۔ انہیں اپنی مسرتوں کو خیر آباد کہنا پڑا، انہیں اپنی آبادیوں اور بستیوں کو چھوڑنا پڑا، انہیں طوفانوں کا مقابلہ کرنا پڑا۔
صدرِذی وقار!
کسی چیز کا حصول جتنا مشکل ہے، اس سے بڑھ کر اس کی حفاظت مشکل ہے، اس کا تحفظ ضروری ہے، اس کے لیے وقت کی قربانی ہے، اس کے لیے مال و اسباب کی قربانی ہے، عزیز واقارب چھوڑنے پڑتے ہیں، اس کے لیے اعزاء واقربا کی جدائی برداشت کرنی پڑتی ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
’’یوم دفاع پاکستان ‘‘کسی الٰہ دین کے چراغ کانام نہیں ہے ،کسی تفریحی مقام کا نام نہیں ہے۔ کسی بادِ نسیم کے جھونکوں کا نام نہیں ہے ،کسی نورافشاں کہکشاں کا نام نہیں ہے،کسی آفتابِ جہاں تاب کی کرنوں کا نام نہیں ہے۔
صدرِذی وقار!
یہ ایک ایسی قوم کی جہداورمساعی کا نام ہے جس نے شب خون مارنے والی قوم کو ناکوں چنے چبوائے ، جس نے دشمن کی رات کی نیندیں حرام کر دیں، جس نے دشمن قوم کے گھٹیا عزائم کو نیست و نابود کر دیا، جس نے ابرِ رحمت کی موسلا دھار بارش سے آتش اعداء کو سردکر دیا۔
جنابِ صدر!
اس جنگ میں ہر ایک نے حصہ بقدر جُثّہ لیا، نوجوان شمشیر بکف ہوکر میدان میں آ گئے ، بوڑھوںاور بچوں نے کفن پوش ہو کر دشمن کا ڈٹ کر مقابلہ کیا۔ مضمون نگار نے اخبار میں مضامین لکھ کر دشمن کے عزائم کو طشت از...
The Muslims ruled over Spain and India for many years. They left over behind themselves many signs of art, architecture, culture and the customs of life. The Muslims both in regions set a remarkable art of living which can still be visualized. It reflects a picture of their high potential and advancement but due to some reasonable causes their journey upwards stopped and the other powers dominated them. In this article the various causes of political decline have been analyzed in Islamic perspective.
This study evaluates what and how personality traits (Big Five) of employees form their psychological contracts with respective employers. Therefore, apart from testing the direct relations between personality traits of employees and their psychological contracts towards employers, the present study investigates the ex planatory mechanisms (epistemic curiosity & rule-following behavior) between the Big Five personality traits and dimensions of psychological contracts, which in cludes transactional, relational, balanced and ideological contracts. In addition, the moderating role of individual level uncertainty avoidance is also examined in the relations between personality traits and explanatory mechanisms i.e. epistemic curiosity and rule-following behavior. Trait activation theory provides overarch ing theoretical framework for this study and norms of reciprocity offer additional support. Time-lagged data in three time-lags were collected from 469 respondents employed in various public and private sector organizations across Pakistan. Results indicate that Openness to Experience positively relates to transactional, balanced and ideological contracts and negative relates to relational contracts. Conscientiousness positively relates to transactional contracts and negatively re lates with relational, balanced and ideological contracts. The other personality dimension Extraversion positively relates to relational contracts and ideological contracts whereas it negatively relates to transactional contracts. Similarly, Agree ableness is found positively related with relational contracts and negatively with transactional and ideological contracts. Finally, Neuroticism negatively relates with all types of psychological contracts. Regarding explanatory paths, epistemic curiosity and rule-following behavior ex plain the relations between specific personality traits and psychological contracts as epistemic curiosity explains the relations between Openness to Experience, Con scientiousness and Extraversion and psychological contract types. While in case of rule-following behavior, majority of the hypotheses stand accepted, except for balanced contracts. In case of moderation, the results show that uncertainty avoid ance weakens relationship between Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness and x Extraversion and epistemic curiosity. The results regarding moderating role of uncertainty avoidance in the relations between Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism and rule-following behavior could only be partially claimed due to the fact that uncertainty avoidance was not found affecting the relation between Con scientiousness and rule-following behavior. Overall directions of buffering effects were somehow mixed as compared to expectations. These results have theoretical as well as practical significance. The study makes theoretical contribution in psychological contracts body of knowledge by adding two new explanatory mechanisms to elucidate the reasons why people with certain personality traits form different types of psychological contracts and what affect individual level uncertainty avoidance has on these relations. The practitioners can also benefit from these finding as they can ensure better expectations management and personality-job fit.
