The study undertaken was designed to determine the direct and indirect effects of perceived authentic leadership on creative work behavior through work related flow and psychological capital of employees working in tall (banks) and flat (software houses) organizations. Measures of Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (Avolio, Gardner, & Walumbwa, 2007), Psychological Capital Questionnaire (Luthans, Youssef, & Avolio, 2007), Work Related Flow Scale (Bakker, 2008), Creativity Scale (Zhou & George, 2001), and Social Desirability Scale-17 (Stober, 2001) were used to assess the constructs of the study. The overall research design comprised of three studies. Study I constituted indigenous exploration of the study constructs which was executed in two separate phases. In phase I, a series of four focus group discussions were conducted to capture the indigenous understanding of the major constructs of the study. Phase II of study I was further comprised of three parts. In part I, appropriate instruments were selected on the basis of the themes emerged in focus group discussions. In part II, instruments were tried on an independent sample (N = 25) of employees (software houses and banks) to identify the realistic concerns of the respondents while attempting the instruments. In part III, measures were evaluated by subject experts (N = 6) and feedback received by them was incorporated through committee approach. Study II consisted of empirical estimation of psychometric indices of all the measures and confirmation of measurement models on an independent sample (N = 277) of employees. Results showed that all the measures were reliable instruments for the related constructs of the study. Confirmatory Factor Analysis 17 yielded factor structures of psychological capital, work related flow, creative work behavior, and social desirability in accordance to the theoretical models. However, model of authentic leadership exhibited variations in few items which resulted in modification in the final model of the said construct. Work related outcomes of perceived authentic leadership in the context of organizational structures were determined in study III through hypotheses and model testing on a convenient purposive sample (N =1180) of employees. Results showed that perceived authentic leadership, psychological capital, and work-related flow positively predicted creative work behavior. Work-related flow and psychological capital has shown parallel mediation between perceived authentic leadership and creative work behavior for employees working in software houses and banks. Findings also revealed that organizational structures significantly moderated the relationship of perceived authentic leadership, psychological capital, and work related flow with creative work behavior. Results showed significant group differences in terms of gender, education, job experience, job period in the current organization, and type of organization across both organizational structures. Additional findings indicated moderating role of gender in predicting creative work behavior from perceived authentic leadership and psychological capital among employees of software houses and banks. Moreover, combined effect of gender and organizational structure was also determined on all the study variables. In the end, path models were generated which distinctively highlighted the similarities as well as differences in the interactions of major constructs which function jointly in the context of tall (banks) and flat (software houses) organizations. Theoretical and practical implications of the present study for employees and future recommendations were also discussed.

مرشد دا پیار

مُرشد دا پیار
(آنحضور قبلہ صوفی محمد اصغر سائیں آف جہلم والوں کی یاد میں جب آپ نے ہیڈ جالوالہ پر مور پالے ہوئے تھے )

موراں والیا سائیاں وے
تیتھوں جند کراں قربان
ہر دم تیریاں لوڑاں وے
توں ایں میرا مان تران

تیرے باہجھوں چین نہ آئوندا
ہر ویلے پیا دل گھبرائوندا
ویکھ لواں جے تینوں آئوندا
آوے میرے جثے جان

تیریاں راہواں پئی تکاواں
یاد کراں تے دل بہلاواں
بھلدیاں نہیں سجناں اوہ تھانواں
جتھے دلبر ملدے ہان

جس دم یار نے جھاتی پائی
میل دلے وچ رہی ناں کائی
بھاندے دل نوں بُوٹے کائی
جتھے وسدا بھٹی خان

تیرے موراں چال نیاری
ویکھو چلدے بنھ قطاری
جاندے نیں دل میرا ٹھاری
نالے دل میرا پرچان

موراں نوں میں چوگاں پاواں
نالے کر دی رہواں دعاواں
قادریؔ دی کرو معاف خطاواں
لکھ واری جاواں قربان

پاکستان میں بچوں پر جنسی تشدد اور فقہ السیرہ کی روشنی میں تدارک

Numerous crimes are being committed in present era. One of the most heinous crime amongst them is child abuse. Incidents of children who have been murdered after sexual abuse are rife in our nominal Islamic society. Moreover, videos and photos are also made during child abuse. Then these videos are posted on the social media. Both Muslim and non-Muslim communities are suffering from this brutal act i.e child abuse. In Pakistan, the reasons of increase in crime rates include psychological disorders, urge to fulfill one’s sexual desires, poverty, unemployment and detachment from religion. Such kind of abominable acts are becoming common in Pakistan day by day. According to Islamic jurisprudence rape is a punishable crime. Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) himself has punished the perpetrators for such acts of crime. Once in the era of Holy Prophet (SAW), a Jew crushed the head of a girl by placing it in between two stones. When Prophet (SAW) was informed about the incident, He (SAW) called upon the Jew who confessed his crime. Then Prophet (SAW) asked his companions to punish him by crushing his head with stones. It can be deduced from this narration that the culprits involved in such loathsome crimes should be punished publicly in order to wipe out this devilish act of crime from the society. The purpose of writing this research paper is to describe the reasons for the increase in rate of sexual abuse of children and its eradication in the light of Fiqh ul Seerah. This research paper followed descriptive and analytical methods

Promoting Student-Student Interaction in Large Esl Primary Government School Classes of Pakistan

Teaching large classes is always seen as problematic by the teachers. In most of the cases it is found that the teachers do not feel comfortable to provide opportunities to the learners in large ESL classes because of fear of losing control over students. This study reveals the attempt made to promote interaction among students in large ESL classes in the government school classes of Karachi, Pakistan. The study engaged a class of 49 students of grade four. The study was conducted as action research. Additional data was collected through participant observation and reflection. The English language teacher of the class in which the study was conducted was involved as a critical friend for the observation and reflection of the classroom teaching. Interviews with the teacher were conducted at the beginning and end of the study to understand the teacher's beliefs and attitude towards interaction in large ESL classes. Finally, learners were interviewed to find out their perception about the same. The study reveals the challenges I faced while promoting interaction in large ESL classes. It also indicates the strategies I tried out to overcome the challenges. Furthermore, it shows how teachers and learners in large ESL classes perceive promoting interaction among students. The study also highlights the factors that facilitate interaction among students in large ESL classes. Finally recommendations and implications are made for the teachers, teacher educators, and the school context.
