وقت کے لمحے، موتی ہیرے
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم

معزز سامعین اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کرناہے وہ ہے:’’وقت کے لمحے، موتی ہیرے‘‘
صدرِذی وقار!
وقت واقعی ایک دولت ہے جس نے وقت کی رفتار کے ساتھ چلنے کا ڈھنگ سیکھ لیا وہ دولت مند بن گیا ، صاحب ثروت ہو گیا ،سلیقہ شعار ہو گیا، ہنر مند بن گیا ، سعادت مند بن گیا، اس کی تجوریاں ہیرو جواہرات سے بھر گئیں ۔
جنابِ صدر!
وقت کے صحیح استعمال سے جہاں انسان ظاہری طور پر خوشحال ہو جاتا ہے۔ وہاں اس کے باطنی خدوخال بھی سنور جاتے ہیں اس کو روحانی تازگی میسر آتی ہے اس کی ذہنی آسودگی کو چار چاند لگ جاتے ہیں اس کی پریشانیاں دور ہو جاتی ہیں اور اس کی مشکلات آسان ہو جاتی ہیں۔ وقت کی قدر کرنے والے واقعی اس دولت سے بھر پور فائدہ اٹھاتے ہیں۔
محترم صدر!
اگر کائنات کی رنگینیوں کو امعانِ نظر سے دیکھیں تو ہر شے وقت کی تسبیح میں پروئی ہوئی نظر آتی ہے۔ سورج اپنے وقت پرمشرق سے طلوع ہوتا اور وقت پر ہی مغرب میں غروب ہو جاتا ہے۔ ستارے اپنی روشنی بکھیرتے ہوئے آتے ہیں اور وقت پر ہی ہمیں نور کی بشارت دے کر رخصت ہو جاتے ہیں اللہ تعالیٰ نے کائنات کے تمام نظام کو وقت کے دھارے میں محصور کیا ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
موذن کی اذان وقت پر ہوتی ہے۔ خطیب کا خطبہ وقت پر ہوتا ہے۔ جج کافیصلہ وقت پر ہوتا ہے۔ شہید کے خون کا قطرہ وقت پر گرتا ہے، غازی میدانِ جنگ میں وقت پر کفار کو واصل جہنم کرتا ہے ،معلم کی تدریس وقت پر ہوتی ہے۔ مصنف کی تصنیف...
This research aims to investigate the association of gender dissimilarities and job satisfaction among employees working in public sector Universities. Structural equation modeling approach using Smart PLS is employed to test hypotheses on 410 samples of university officers. The findings reveal that the gender differences have positive relationship with employee job satisfaction. Moreover, there are various factors alike organizational commitment, working conditions which are not considered in this research. Furthermore, current research has stressed on the significance of HR practices in public sector universities to manage diversity. The research implications suggest that authorities relating to public sector universities private banking sector of Pakistan needs to pay attention on rewards and recognition activities as employees expect rewards according to their efforts.
The present study investigates the impact of resource based view on new product development process and new product success. Additionally, the present research work introduces new product development process as a mediator. One novel dimension has been proposed in the current research i.e., ―New Product Branding Decisions‖. The other constructs (top management facilitation, customer and supplier facilitation) are modified according to the practices of new product development process prevailing in manufacturing sector of Pakistan. The construct of business intelligence of NPD team is also incorporating as a measure of internal resource along with top management facilitation and cross-functional team. Business intelligence of NPD team is another unique dimension of current research which was ignored previously. Based on literature review and identified gaps the present research work has proposed theoretical framework. For data collection, 500 companies were selected based on stratified random sampling technique. Further, on 500 selected companies simple random sampling technique was employed and through it 50 companies were selected in total. To collect data from respondents of 50 selected companies 450 questionnaires were distributed based on purposive sampling technique to the targeted sample (i.e., managers involved in new product development decisions). Whereas, respondents have returned 380 questionnaires from which 328 were usable. For face and content validity of questionnaire expert opinion of marketing professionals and professors associated with the field of business administration, psychology, and linguistics was obtained. Pilot testing was also carried out on 147 sample size. For pilot testing Cronbach‘s Alpha reliability was checked using SPSS, while confirmatory factor analysis was carried out through AMOS. For main analysis validity of all the scales is measured with item-to-total correlation, inter-item correlation, inter- scale correlation, total-scale correlation and factor analysis using exploratory factor analysis, while, the reliability is measured by using Cronbach‘s alpha reliability test. The means of data are compared based on different demographical factors by using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test as data was not normal. For main analysis Structural equation modeling (SEM) technique is utilized to measure the model fit as well as to test the hypotheses. However, the assumptions to carry out structural equation modeling were assessed before running SEM. The model fit indices indicated that the proposed theoretical model is very good fit with the data of present study. All the direct relation hypotheses (H1, H2, H3, H4, & H5) were positively and significantly supported by the results of SEM analyses; however, mediating hypotheses H6 and H7 were partially supported. For mediating analysis both Barren and Kenney as well Bootstrapping methods were employed. It was noticed that through both methods partial mediation is approved. Further in this research, study contributions, recommendations, limitations, and possible future implications were discussed. This research has important implications for managers who are involved in new product development decisions that wish to determine the relative importance of utilizing internal and external resources for proficient new product development process in order to achieve new product success. This study is providing fresh and important avenues in new product development literature for research scholars, academia, and industry from developing countries like Pakistan.
