Political skill is the essential requirement for individuals to survive in the political arenas of organization, and is a topic that is gaining significant recognition in the area of managing interactions within the organization. The present study investigates political skill influence on helping behavior, compassion, knowledge sharing behavior and job embeddedness under the mediating mechanism of organizational based self-esteem, interpersonal trust, and personal reputation. Moreover, political will moderation impact is also observed among political skill and its outcomes. A quantitative approach is employed involving responses from 219 managers serving in banks of Islamabad and Rawalpindi using a questionnaire. Structural Equation modeling and process macro is used to test the hypotheses. Political skill revealed a significant positive impact on positive behaviors and job embeddedness, organizational based self-esteem, interpersonal trust and personal reputation. The results supported mediation hypotheses however; political will moderation was not supported. Political skill will help managers deal with tough competitions, technological advancements and demanding jobs, and to cultivate a positive environment in the workplace by promoting positive behaviors such as helping colleagues, showing a compassionate response, engaging in knowledge sharing behavior and by increasing job embeddedness. Managers should be trained to develop political skill in their personality as it will help them to enhance self-esteem, add to their repute, and help to develop trust in colleagues. The study was the first to address the unexplored areas of research regarding political skill impact on positive behaviors and job embeddedness in the presence of specified mediators and moderator.
انسان ماں کی گود سے گور تک سیکھنے کے عمل سے گزر تا ہے ۔ویسے بھی یو نیورسٹی کا طالبعلم تھا اور زندگی مطالعے کے بجائے مشاہدے میں گزرگئی ۔ضیاء الحق کے دور میں عدالتوں کے اختیارات معطل تھے اور تمام سیاسی قیدی فوجی حکمرانوں کے حکم کے پابند تھے ۔
جنرل جیلانی پنجاب کا گورنر تھا اور اسمبلی حال مارشل لاء ہیڈ کواٹر تھا جو اس وقت کے چیف آف سٹاف ٹو گورنر پنجاب کے کنٹرول میں تھا وہاں سے نظر بندیوں کے حکم جا ری ہو تے تھے ۔جس کی مدت تین ماہ ہو تی اور اس کی مدت ختم ہونے سے پہلے ہی اگلے تین ماہ کا حکم نامہ جا ری کر دیا جاتا۔محمد علی ایکٹر کو ڈسٹرکٹ جیل جھنگ منتقل کر دیا گیا اور سب پر ایسے گزری کہ جیسے خاندان کو ئی فرد بچھڑ رہا ہو ۔
جیل میں شہید ذوالفقار علی بھٹوکی برسی منائی گئی اور یکم مئی پر بھی ایک تقریب کا انعقاد کیا گیا طوالت کے خوف سے تفصیل نہیں لکھ رہا تین ماہ پورے ہوئے تو اگلے تین ماہ کی نظر بندی کا پروانہ آگیا ۔کچھ وقت گزرنے کے بعد جیل کے حکام کی طرف سے پیغام ملا کہ پیچھے سے حکم ہے کہ جو شخص معافی نامہ اور نیک چلنی کی ضمانت دے گا وہ جیل سے رہا ہو سکتا ہے ۔
جیل کے لان میں تمام نظر بند قیدیوںکی میٹنگ ہوئی ملک محمد حسین ایڈوکیٹ اور دوسرے جیل کے ساتھیوں نے احتجاج کیا کہ ان کی شرائط پر کوئی رہائی حاصل نہیں کرے گا ۔جسٹس سعید حسین اپنے مزاج کے انسان تھے انہوں نے اختلاف کیا اور پنجابی میں کہا
Social website is a platform that allows people to create and share different ideas, information and pictures/videos. Social websites like Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter, Linked In, Youtube etc, allow users to intract with large number of people. In every field of life, these websites have postive and negative effects. The use of social websites make them good or bad. In this paper, we present an evolution of social websites in the teachings of Islam. Islam doesn’t against the social websites, it only condemns its negative impact or negative use.
The emphasis of this dissertation lies on the theoretical study of different models of vectorborne diseases in order to get better understanding of the transmission and spread of these diseases. The patterns of infection in the host population can be understood more precisely if we comprehend those factors that influence the transmission of the disease. Five mathematical models are presented in this dissertation. Four of these explore the dynamics of the disease in relation to human population and mosquitoes. One model is dedicated to pine wilt disease in which hosts are pine trees and vectors are bark beetles. The dynamics of vector-borne diseases are explored on three scales. First, various mathematical models are constructed by using ordinary differential equations. These models are developed by considering bilinear contact rates, nonlinear incidence rates and standard incidence rates. The models explore direct as well as vector mediated transmission. In mathematical model of pine wilt disease, it is considered that susceptible beetles (vectors of pine wilt disease) receive infection directly from infectious ones through mating. Next, the global behavior of equilibria of models are analyzed. The analytical expressions for the basic reproduction number R0 are obtained and global dynamics of the models are completely described by this number. Using Lyapunov functional theory it is proved that the disease-free equilibria are globally asymptotically stable whenever R0 ≤ 1. The geometric approach is utilized to study the global stabilities of endemic equilibria whenever the basic reproduction number exceeds unity. Finally, in order to assess the effectiveness of disease control measures, the sensitivity analysis of the basic reproductive number R0 and the endemic proportions with respect to epidemiological and demographic parameters is provided. This sensitivity analysis provide an aid to design effective control strategies. It may be an important tool in the decision support system.
