Personality is a very broad and complex phenomenon which has been vastly studied in different domains from diverse perspectives and there is no single perspective where all researchers have a consensus. There are many personality related traits, attitudes and behaviors of organizational concern, but in case of personality, the models are again mainly borrowed from psychology. The major limitation of the models is that they measure the personality in bits and pieces rather than taking a holistic view. Here we need a basic or ontological dimension to take an integrated view of personality. Spirituality as per many scholars is an ontological dimension of personality. The researchers in psychology in general and in management sciences in specific are now giving attention to the subject. The individual as well as the workplace spirituality are very well researched topics now a days. The current study has focused on the exploration of spirituality as a pivotal phenomenon in assessing human personality through its psychometric capabilities. So spirituality can be a phenomenon where the personality can be gauged holistically as personality traits, attitudes and behavioral outcomes can be predicted through it. This will help the organizations to select, develop and retain appropriate employees in a more meaningful way. The theory suggested that the spirituality can be gauged from low to high with different attitudinal, behavioral and transcendental consequences. After extensive literature review of spirituality across different religions especially incorporating the eastern philosophy, which was missing part in current management science literature, a theory and a definition of spirituality was established which was further used as a basis to develop a scale. For this very purpose, in the first study a tool was developed keeping in view the definition of spirituality, and then its validity as well as the reliability were tested. Furthermore to authenticate the validity of the spiritual phenomenon and its psychometric capabilities, the instrument was tested with certain variables related to employees’ personality. In this regard the variables taken constituted an attitude that is Job Satisfaction, a behavior that is OCB and a personality disorder that is Paranoia. To test the role of WPS in nurturing the spirituality at employee level, it was taken as a moderator in the research model. In the first study, the items were collected from multiple sources and an exhaustive list was developed and then by using grounded theory approach the a list of 30 finalized items was developed. Further the instrument was pilot tested on a sample of 100 students and then it was finally tested on a sample of 430 individuals. After reliability analysis the items with unacceptable loadings were eliminated and the list was reduced to 18 items. In the second study, a sample of 600 respondents was selected from 30 cross sectoral organizations. Out of the sample 530 were useful having no missing values. To analyze the data correlation, regression, and SEM techniques were used. The results supported all the hypothesis in general and hence the findings suggested that the low vs. high spirituality have their respective implications, such as employees with high spirituality are more satisfied, high in exhibiting OCB and were less paranoid. Workplace spirituality also moderated the relation between IV and DVs. Furthermore the study has multiple contributions for literature as very fruitful implications for the practitioners while selecting, retaining employees and enhancing their performance.

مراتب اختر کا توقیت نامہ

                ساہیوال کی دھرتی جہاں اس بات پہ نازاں ہے کہ مولانا عطا اللّٰہ جنون، مولانا عزیز الدین عظامی، حفیظ جالندھری، مجید امجد، منیر نیازی اور گوہر ہوشیارپوری جیسے نامور شعراء نے یہاں قیام کیا وہاں حاجی بشیر احمد بشیر، ناصر شہزاد، جعفر شیرازی، احسن شیرازی اور یٰسین قدرت کے علاوہ مراتب علی اختر کو بھی اسی دھرتی نے جنم دیا۔

                سید مراتب علی اختر8مئی 1940کو پیدا ہوئے۔ چار بھائیوں اور پانچ بہنوں میں ساتویں نمبر پر آتے تھے۔ ایک بہن اور ایک بھائی آپ سے چھوٹے تھے۔میونسپل کمیٹی پرائمری سکول ایف برانچ سے ابتدئی تعلیم حاصل کی اور میٹرک کا امتحان گورنمنٹ ہائی سکول ساہیوال سے پاس کیا۔ آپ کی تاریخ پیدائش کے حوالہ سے اختلاف پایا جاتا ہے۔ آپ کے چھوٹے بھائی سیّد افضال حسین گیلانی لکھتے ہیں:۔

ہم دونوں بھائیوں کی عمروں کا درمیانی وقفہ صرف چار سال کا تھا۔ گھرمیں ہم اوپر تلے کے بھائی گنے جاتے تھے۔ غور کیجئے بھلا بڑائی چھوٹائی کا یہ کوئی اتنا بڑا فرق ہے؟ یہ عمریں تو ہم جولیوں اور لنگوٹیے یاروں کی ہوتی ہیں۔ لیکن۔۔۔ حسبِ مراتب وہ اول دن ہی سے ’’بہت بڑے ‘‘ اور میں بہت چھوٹا تھا۔

امی حضور سے سنا تھا کہ جب بھائی جان چھ ماہ کے تھے تو انتہائی نحیف اور دبلے پتلے تھے۔ آپ کو حضرت بابا جی صوفی احمد شاہ صابر علیہ الرحمت کی خدمت میں پیش کیا گیا جو میرے نانا کے چھوٹے بھائی تھے اور خاندان بھر کے مرشد تھے۔ بلکہ گیلانی سادات کے مقتدر گھرانوں کے پیروپیشواتھے۔ اللّٰہ کے سچے اور مقبول بندے تھے۔ آپ نے بچے کی کمزوری اور ناتوانی کو دیکھتے ہوئے تبسم فرمایا۔ دم کیا اور پھر زیر لب گویا ہوئے۔ ’اس...

The Role and Responsibilities of Youth in Islam

Youth is considered to be the backbone of any nation. The level of moral development, civilization and consolidation of authority and potency depends on the morality of its youth. It can be said that nations survive till their ethics live. The question of youth and Islam at present stems from the overwhelming demographic weight of youth and their relatively recent invasion into the public domain, as well as a wave of Islamic revivalism throughout the world. For any society and its future the youth plays vital and integral role both for progress and decline. The reason is that youth can make the future dark or bright through their role as individuals and as active members of society. This paper draws on lively focus group narratives of young Muslims to explore the interactive presentation of Islamic selves. By bringing together young people who practice Islam in different ways, this paper offers a deeper insight into how claims to a universal identity are actively constructed and contested through particular social relationships and interactions in specific structural contexts. The first part of the paper presents introduction of the whole study. Second part gives description about the categories of youth including; pious, deviated and confused. In third part importance of youth in Islam has been highlighted. Fourth part presents social, moral, political situation of Muslim societies in contemporary time. Fifth part gives description of impact of moral, social, and political situation on the minds of young people. Discussion concludes with the responsibilities of youth which is followed by findings and conclusion of the whole discussion. In so doing, the paper takes up recent calls for more research on the personal meaning of Islam as religion for Muslim youth
