For millennia in all noteworthy civilizations, the importance and necessity of justice to the maintenance of stability and health of societies have been advocated. Justice in any organizational system is considered to be important at least from two perspectives (a) as a virtuous end in itself and (b) the negative consequences of its absence. Scholars have argued that if organizational decisions and managerial actions are deemed unfair or unjust, the affected employees experience feelings of anger and resentment. Further, the employees affected by injustice not only become angry and unhappy but may also retaliate directly or indirectly. However, organizational justice research has focused mainly on establishing the direct effects of various types of justice on outcomes. There is little research on whether employees’ response to the instances of injustice varies and if so, under what circumstances and to what extent? Hence, an area requiring attention is the incorporation of situational variables into the empirical models to investigate the explanatory power of these variables and to enhance the predictive capacity of justice dimensions in explaining outcomes. Organizational politics has been and is now widely recognized as a fact of organizational life. It has been suggested that it is more important than competence. Scholars have argued that politics should be conceived of as a subjective evaluation rather than an objective reality: individuals respond on the basis of their perceptions of reality, not necessarily reality per se. Thus, how members in organizations perceive organizational politics has been one of the interesting aspects of research in the area. Perceptions of organizational politics have been studied as a direct antecedent to many outcomes; but it has received minimal attention as a potential moderator. viA substantial part of the past research on organizational justice and politics has been carried out primarily in the individualistic western cultures, particularly in the U.S. This study attempts to fill the gap in these two significant areas of organizational life by exploring the interactive effects of perceptions of politics and three types of justice- distributive, procedural and interactional-on five personal and organizational outcomes i.e., job performance, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior and intent to turnover; it also investigates the direct effects of the justice dimensions and perceptions of politics on these outcomes in a non-Western and still broadly collectivist culture of Pakistan. Data was collected through questionnaires from employees and their supervisors of several national and multinational organizations. The results support most hypotheses suggesting the main effects of three justice types on outcomes. It especially highlights the importance of interactional justice as we find that it is the only justice dimension which showed significant relationship with all the outcomes studied in this research. The findings also reveal that perceptions of politics are significantly related to job performance, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, OCB, and turnover intentions. The results indicate significant interactive effects of perceptions of politics and justice dimensions on job satisfaction only.

شہید کی جوموت ہے وُہ قوم کی حیات ہے

شہید کی جو موت ہے وہ قوم کی حیات ہے
زندگی تو گزر جاتی ہے، جو زندہ ہے اُس نے بالآ خرسفرآخرت کرنا ہے، جو سانس لے رہا ہے اُس نے جان، جان آفریں کے سپرد کرنی ہے، کوئی بستر مرگ پر ایڑیاں رگڑ رگڑ کر مر جاتا ہے، کوئی کسی ڈوبنے والے کو سہارا دیتے ہوئے خودلہروں کے سپرد ہو جا تا ہے۔ کوئی مزمّن بیماری کا شکار ہو کر حکیموں اور ڈاکٹروں کے نسخے استعمال کرتے ہوئے داعی اجل کو لبیک کہہ دیتا ہے۔ کوئی راہزن کے ہتھے چڑھ کر اپنے بچوں کو یتیم اور اپنی زوجہ کو بیوہ کر جاتا ہے۔ لیکن قابلِ صد افتخار ہیں وہ لوگ جو ملک و ملت کی خاطر سرحدوں کی حفاظت کرتے ہوئے دشمنوں کی توپوں کا نشانہ بنتے ہیں اور جامِ شہادت نوش کر لیتے ہیں۔شہید کوقرآنِ پاک میں بھی زندہ فرمایا گیا ہے بلکہ یہاں تک فرمانِ باری تعالیٰ ہے کہ انہیں مردہ گمان بھی نہ کرو، خودتو زندہ ہیں ہی لیکن موت کا ظاہری لبادہ اوڑھ کر اور نظروں سے دائمی اوجھل ہو کر قوم و ملت کو حیات ِنو کی نوید سنا جاتے ہیں ، شہید کی زندگی قوم کی حیات ہے۔ شہید بحثیت مجاہد سرحدوں کی حفاظت کرتا ہے، سرحدوں پر پہرہ دیتاہے، اقوام خوابِ خرگوش کے مزے لے رہی ہوتی ہے اور شہید توپوں کی گھن گرج میں رات کی ساعتیں گزار رہا ہوتا ہے۔ شہادت ایک زیور ہے، جس کے زیب تن کرنے سے جسمانی خدوخال کے علاوہ روحانی نکھار بھی آجاتا ہے۔ شہید اپنی قوم کے عروج میں کلیدی کردار ادا کرتا ہے۔
قوم اس وقت اپنے مستقبل کی درخشندگی کے لیے مستعد ہوتی ہے جب وہ ذہنی طور پر آسودہ ہو، فکری اعتبار سے توانا ہو اور اس قسم کے ماحول کی تشکیل کے لیے شہید کا وجود...

اسلامی تصور ریاست اور غیر اسلامی نظریہ ریاست کا تقابلی جائزہ

In an Islamic state, the leader is obliged by the Quran to run the affairs of the people using ‘Shura’ (consultation). He is elected based upon confidence to lead, not on his policies, because he is obliged to derive laws based upon the Quran and Sunnah، and has no option to not implement the clear laws cont-ained therein, even if not convenient for gov, which provides full protections for people’s rights at all times. In a (Western) secular Democracy, the leaders are not obliged to consult the people in running the affairs (nor fulfil their promises). They derive laws from what is convenient, and may (and do) take away people’s rights using that justification. In Islam, the leader remains in power until he becomes unjust or incompetent. In a (Western) secular Democracy, the leader remains in power despite being unjust or incompetent, and may get elected again if he can lie to the people to persuade them he is the lesser of two evils. An Islamic State is based upon sovereignty to the Creator, who doesn’t change his mind, it not prone to prejudice, bigotry or ignorance. A (Western) secular Democracy is based upon sovereignty of the Individual, who does change their mind, is prone to prejudice, bigotry and ignorance. This article explains deeply about Comparison of Islamic concept of state and non Islamic Idea of State.

Fabrication of Ceramic Oxide Thin Films for Photo- Electrochemical Applications

Some unique monometallic and homo-heterobimetallic complexes [Cu (dmae)2(H2O)]1,[Cu(dmae)(OAc)(H2O)]22,[Sn(dmae)(OAc)]23,[Cu4Y2(dmae)6(OAc )6(H2O)2] 4 and [Cu6Y2Cl0.7(dmae)6(OAc)7.3(OH)4(H2O)2].3H2O.0.3CH3C6H5 5 were successfully synthesized and analyzed for their stoichiometry and structure by physiochemical methods such as melting point, microanalysis, fourier transform infra red (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTA) and X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. The thermo gravimetric analysis ascertains that all the precursors undergo facile thermal decomposition at relatively low temperatures ranging from 400 to 600 oC to yield metal oxide residues. All the designed precursors except 2 were applied for the deposition of ceramic oxide composite thin films on plane and fluorine doped tinoxide (FTO) coated glass substrates by aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD). The precursor 1, 4 and 5 were found suitable for deposition of Cu2O and nanocomposites oxide Cu- YO2-0.5Cu2O and Y2CuO4–5CuO thin films respectively under inert ambient of argon gas. All the deposited thin films were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) for their surface morphology, elemental composition and phase crystallinity. XXIII The precursor 3 was applied for deposition of fullerene-like structured mesoporous SnO2 nanoball thin films on FTO and plane glass substrates by using an in-house built electro-spun aerosol spray pyrolysis (ESASP) technique. The field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM) and focused ion beam (FIB) images of the exterior and interior surfaces of the SnO2 nanoball thin films disclose the presence of fullerene-like structures having mesopores of the sizes ranging from 33.5 to 35.0 nm in exterior and 8.0 to 160 nm in interior surfaces respectively. All the fabricated films were found to be impurity and crack free, have good adhesion to the substrate and nanocrystalline in nature ensuring clear grain boundaries with average particle size ranges from 28 nm to 40 nm thus making them suitable for photo electrochemical (PEC) applications. The PEC measurements carried out by three-electrode electrochemical set-up with Ag/AgCl as a reference electrode and a platinum mesh as a counter electrode show an increase of photocurrent observed under illumination of 150W halogen lamp as compared to dark at potentials of 0.6 V and 0.8 V respectively. The performance of the fabricated SnO2 nanoball thin films for application in super capacitors was evaluated by capacitance measurements and all the results provide exciting new opportunities towards mesoporous ceramic nanomaterials for application in energy sector
