This thesis has two main objectives. The first objective of this thesis is to examine employees’ experience of HPWS in their respective business units. The second objective is to develop a conceptual model that determines how these perceptions are related to their wellbeing and performance. In doing so, both the mutual gains and conflicting outcomes perspectives have been examined. In addition, POS and JDR theories are proposed as alternative theoretical perspectives in examining the pathways through which HPWS can impact on employee wellbeing and business unit level performance. Specifically, building on the notion of JDR model, job control and supervisor support have been hypothesized as important resources to minimize the negative impact of excessive job demands on wellbeing. For the purpose of analysis, data had been collected from 828 employees from 140 business units in insurance industry of Pakistan. The structural equation modeling technique is used to validate the measurement model and for examining the inter-relationships among HPWS, employee wellbeing and business unit level performance. At business unit level, the findings lend support for mutual gains perspective. The pathway linking HPWS to business unit level performance via mutual gains perspective received strong support. The empirical findings show that: (1) AMO bundles of HPWS had strong positive influence on POS; (2) Only motivation bundle was significantly and negatively related to excessive job demands while ability and opportunity bundles had no impact on excessive job demands; (3) HPWS, through POS, showed positive impact on employee wellbeing; (4) job satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between HPWS and business unit level performance. Overall, the thesis indicates that while mutual gains perspective is useful in explaining the link between HPWS-wellbeing-performance, extending theory to include new explanatory variables such as POS increases our understanding of the underlying phenomena.

خواجہ حسن نظامی دہلوی
افسوس ہے گزشتہ ماہ میں خواجہ حسن نظامی صاحب دہلوی نے کم وبیش ۷۷ سال کی عمر میں چند روزہ علالت کے بعد اپنے وطن دہلی میں ہی وفات پائی۔ مرحوم عجیب وغریب شخصیت کے مالک تھے۔ دیکھنے میں کمزور ولاغر اورضعیف ومنحنی انسان تھے لیکن ارادہ وعمل کی قوت بے پناہ رکھتے تھے۔ان کی تعلیم قدیم مسلمان خاندانوں کی روایات کے مطابق ہوئی۔لیکن جس کو اعلیٰ معیار کہاجاتا ہے اس حدتک نہ تھی۔ انھوں نے اپنی زندگی نہایت ہی معمولی حالت سے شروع کی، یعنی ایک مزدور کی طرح سرپرکتابوں کابوجھ لادکر ایک جگہ سے دوسری جگہ لے جانااوراس طرح اپنی معاش پیداکرنا ان کی معاشی زندگی کاسب سے پہلا قدم تھا۔ لیکن اپنی محنت، استقلال، جذبۂ عمل اورذہانت کی وجہ سے وہ اس ادنیٰ ترین حالت سے ترقی کرکے ایک ایسے بلند مقام پر پہنچ گئے جہاں ہرمذہب و ملّت کے لاکھوں انسان ان کی عزت کرتے تھے۔ بڑے بڑے والیانِ ریاست ان سے ملنے میں فخر اورمسرت محسوس کرتے تھے۔حکومتیں ان کی بات کوگوش توجہ سے سنتی تھیں اوربہت سے لوگ جن میں ہندو، مسلمان، سکھ، عیسائی اورپارسی، مرد و عورت، جوان و پیر سب ہی شامل تھے ان کے حلقۂ ارادت میں شامل ہونے کے باعث ان کے ایک ایک فقرہ اور جملہ پرسردھنتے تھے۔ ۲۸ء یا ۲۹ء میں بزمانۂ قیام ڈابھیل ایک مرتبہ سورت شہرمیں ایک مسلمان بوہرہ کی دکان پرجانے کااتفاق ہواتو باتوں باتوں میں معلوم ہواکہ وہ اوراس کاپورا گھرانہ خواجہ صاحب سے بیعت ہے اور اگرچہ یہ گھرانہ اردو پڑھنے کی استعداد نہیں رکھتاتھا تاہم اس کامعمول یہ تھاکہ خواجہ صاحب کے ہاں سے ’’درویش‘‘ نام کا جورسالہ نکلتا تھا، سال کے اختتام پراس کی جلد بندھتی تھی اور ایک مطلا جزدان میں وہ محفوظ رکھ دیا جاتا تھا۔عید بقرعید کے دن نماز عیدکے بعد...

Agile Practices and Intention to Stay: Mediation Effects Through Job Characteristics

Agile methods of software development have been used widely over the last decade, and the majority of organizations have now embraced them in their projects. Thus, the current study explored the positive influence of agile practices on individuals' intentions to stay at their employment. In accordance with this objective, the study looked at the role of job characteristics in mediating the association between agile methods and intention to stay. A sample of 486 employees was contacted through online survey using the Google Forms platforms during the period of September 2021 who practice the agile methods while working at their organizations. They provided data on the questionnaires of agile practices, job characteristics, and intention to stay. Findings postulated that agile practices have significant impact on employees’ intention to stay. Results further reported the significant mediation through job characteristics between agile practices and intention to stay. Findings showed that the job when is designed on feedback, skill variety, job autonomy, task identity and task significance mediate an impact of practising agile methods on intention to stay.

Molecular Analysis of Gnrh1 Gene Sequence in Infertile Male Patients

There are various causes of human male infertility and various genes might be involved. Gene under study for present research work was GNRH1 (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone 1). For this study 40 samples of males with abnormal semen analysis report were collected from different diagnostic centers with informed consent. Then DNA was extracted. Primers were designed for GNRH1 gene and amplified through PCR. Sequencing was outsourced and bioinformatics tools were applied to analyze the sequenced data. There were 14 variations at different positions identified in this study in GNRH1 gene. Variations observed at position c.1325+40 and c.1325+181 mentioned in literature as rs2709608 but predicted that it has no significant effect on protein, whereas rs1453947741 have not been cited in any research article till date which is associated with deletion of A at position c.1325-144. It is potential target site and shows significant change affecting splicing. No data has been found which state the disease causing variations of diagnosed positions in my study. The study concluded that GNRH1 gene has certain variations and splicing might have effect on intronic variations which result in diseased condition and might have role in association with human male infertility.
