نہالؔ سیوہاروی
جناب نہال ؔ سیوہاروی کی شہرت کاآغاز ’’برہان کے شاعر خاص‘‘ کی حیثیت سے ہوا جس میں تقسیم ہند سے قبل وہ بالا لتزام غزلیں اورنظمیں لکھتے رہے۔ مرحوم کاذوقِ شعر وسخن اور ملکۂ شعر گوئی فطری اوروہبی تھاجس کوانھوں نے خلاف طبع معمولی سی سرکاری ملازمت کے باوجود مسلسل مطالعہ اور مشق و مزاولت کے ذریعہ جلا دے کراتنا اجاگرکرلیا تھاکہ ان کاشمار پختہ کار اورصاحب فن اساتذہ کے زمرہ میں ہونے لگاتھا۔ ان کے کلام میں دردواثر، سوزو گداز، عمقِ خیال،نزاکتِ احساس اورلطافت وشستگیِ بیان، جوحسنِ شعر کی جان ہیں یہ سب اوصاف پائے جاتے تھے۔ علاوہ سینکڑوں منتشر غزلوں اورنظموں کے آزادی پران کی رباعیات کاایک مجموعہ مکتبۂ برہان سے اور نظموں اورغزلوں کا ایک مجموعہ ’’شباب و انقلاب‘‘ کے نام سے دلی کے ہی کسی ایک مکتبہ کی طرف سے شائع ہوچکے ہیں۔

Purpose: This study empirically investigates the relation between education level and employees’ performance working in public sector universities from the viewpoint of Islamic religiosity when religious affiliations play mediating role. It has been experienced that more educated people are found to be more involved in performing tasks related to the religious affiliations. Due to the fact that people with higher education found less time to complete their religious obligations, they are more involved in alternative arrangements like charity and donations to fulfill the hunger of religious attainments. Therefore, in order to satisfy themselves religiously, they are more involved in religious affiliations. This high involvement in fulfilling religious arrangements impacts their individual job performance which is necessary to explore. Research Methodology: Data was gathered from the public sector university employees of Pakistan. Out of 900 distributed questionnaires, 520 were received with response rate of 73.65%. Regression analysis is performed in order to determine the association between level of education and individual performance. Further, in order to determine the mediating role of religious affiliations, the Barren and Kerry (1984) model is applied. Findings: Using questionnaire survey the results of the study showed that level of education significantly impacts the religious affiliations in positive manner and high religious affiliations increase the individual job performance. The results at this point indicated that an unobservable indicator, like propensity for logical rationale induces individuals for higher education and ultimately high religious affiliations. Recommendations: Based upon the results, it is recommended that religiosity and ethical values in management set up are need to be escorted by public reforms to let the identification of employees to their work values and their obligation to the performance of work-related tasks. Originality: This study would be a clear contribution in the field of human behavior towards making alternative arrangements in order to fulfill religious obligations and at the same time identifying the mediating role of religious attainments in determining their individual performance.
Emotional intelligence plays significant role in developing and enhancing English language proficiency skills among ESL learners. Previous research findings affirm that emotional quotient (EQ) is as important as intelligence quotient (IQ) for learning language and attaining success. The current study was an attempt to investigate the relationship of emotional intelligence interventions with English proficiency skills among advanced level ESL learners. The study adopted descriptive framework in first phase to determine the association of emotional quotient scores with English proficiency skills among ESL learners. A sample of 556 students with equal ratio of male and female students was determined to find this correlation. Comparatively, male students demonstrated weak positive correlation while female students showed moderately positive correlation between their EQ level and ESL proficiency skills. The second phase of the study examined the impact of emotional intelligence on ESL learning skills in an explanatory cause and effect research design. Emotional intelligence based English language teaching (EI-ESL pedagogy) was used as treatment for ten weeks on students of experimental group and results were compared with the results of control group at pretreatment and post-treatment stage. Findings obtained from statistical results and logical interpretations revealed positive association between emotional intelligence interventions and language proficiency skills of ESL learners along with significant enhancement in their language learning abilities. EI-ESL pedagogy not only increased the EQ level of students, but it resulted in the significant enhancement of their language learning competencies. The study emphasized upon the effective, productive and integral use of emotional intelligence interventions in ESL teaching instructions, English curriculum and ESL classrooms; as emotional intelligence determines personal, academic and professional success among students and professionals at all levels.
