Job satisfaction is an important but a very complex issue, as it is all about human behavior, which is difficult to measure (Saiti, 2007). Knowledge of an employees' level of satisfaction is important for both the organization and the employee because of its (job satisfaction) association with workplace productivity. Furthermore, the knowledge of employees' lack of satisfaction with certain facets of the job will also prompt necessary measures by the employer for improving that aspect, so that the employees' well-being and productivity can be improved. The studies around the area of job satisfaction have explored various aspects of a job and the relationship between job satisfaction and the contributing factors affecting it, which, sometimes, have yielded inconsistent and contradictory findings. The present study is an attempt to explore job satisfaction of teachers of private and government schools in the context of Pakistan. In particular, the study aimed at exploring the overall level of job satisfaction of teachers of Karachi, Pakistan and to see if there is a difference of satisfaction with job between government and private schools' teachers. An important focus of the study was to see to what extent demographic characteristics such as, age, qualification, length of service and salary affect teachers' satisfaction level. A questionnaire of Job Satisfaction Survey (Spector, 1985) was adapted and administered on 500 private and government teachers with a return rate of 69%. SPSS was used to analyze the data generated from the survey. The findings of the analysis revealed that the teachers were somewhat satisfied with their overall job. A comparison between private and government teachers showed that the private school teachers had a higher level of satisfaction with their job than their government counterparts. The analysis also revealed varied level of relationship between demographic characteristics and job satisfaction. The findings show that the level of job satisfaction decreases as the teachers' length of service increases. In a similar way, satisfaction with job also decreases as teachers' age increases. Salary was also found to have negative correlation with job satisfaction, which means the more the salary, the lesser the teachers' job satisfaction, whereas academic and professional qualifications were not found to have any association with job satisfaction

خاتمہ کلام

حدود و قصاص سے متعلق شرعی قوانین موجود ہیں اور دنیا ان کے ثمرات سے مستفید ہو تی رہی ہے کیونکہ یہی قوانین صدرِ اسلام میں نافذ ہوئے ۔ بنو امیہ ، بنوعباس ، دولتِ فاطمیہ سے لے کر خلافت عثمانیہ تک اور ہندوستان میں بھی مغلوں نے انہیں قوانین کے ذریعے دنیا کو امن و امان فراہم کیا۔
مصنف اس بات کا اعتراف کرتا ہے کہ حدودوقصاص اور دیگر اسلامی قوانین کی تنفیذ کے لیے ریاست کا ڈھانچہ اسلامی و فلاحی ہو ۔ مسلمانوں کے اجتماعی نظام کی اصل اساس امرھم شورٰ ی بینھم ہی ہے اس لیے ان کے امراء و حکام کا انتخاب اور حکومت و امارت کا انعقاد مشورے سے ہی ہو۔ ریاست کے عاملین اور ججوں کا تقرر اسلامی طریقے کے مطابق ہو ۔ عاملین و ججوں میں یہ تمام خصوصیات پائی جاتی ہوں کہ وہ مسلمان ، آزاد ، عادل ، پاکدامن، بردبار ، ماقبل کے حالات سے باخبر ، عقل مند حضرات سے مشاورت کرنےوالے اور اللہ تعالیٰ کی راہ میں کسی ملامت کرنےوالے کی ملامت سے نہ ڈرنے والے ہوں ۔عدلیہ کے سامنے مقدمات پیش کر نے والے پولیس افسران ایماندار ہوں،تاکہ معاشرے میں نظم وضبط قائم کرسکیں ، قانون کو لاگو کر سکیں ، مظلوم کو انصاف دلوا سکیں اور مقدمات کے اندراج سے عدالت مجاز میں مقد مہ کے فیصلے تک وہ قانون اور مظلوم کا ساتھ دیں۔ وکلاءآزاد اور صحیح فیصلہ کرنے میں عدلیہ کی معاونت کریں۔ ریاست کے انتظام کو چلانے کےلیے چاہے وہ امیر المسلمین ہو ، جج ہو ، پولیس افسر ، وکیل ، سرحد کی حفاظت کرنے والا فوجی ان سب کی صحیح معنوں میں تربیت کےلیے اسلامی نظام تعلیم کا بندوبست ہونا ضروری ہے اور نظام تعلیم کے مقاصد خالصتاً اسلامی فلسفہ حیات سے اخذ کیے گئے ہوں ، پڑھنے...

سیرت رسول عربی ﷺ(از نور بخش توکلی)کے منہج و اسلوب کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

The topic of ‘Sacred role (Seerat)’ with the affinity of the Rasool (saw) having significance, status and vast acceptance is undoubtedly beyond expression. If we make analysis of a religious literature, we find most of its part consisting on such topics that are directly affiliated with the silent features of the personality of the Rasool (saw). In storehouse of knowledge and architecture of the world ‘Art of Sacred role’ has attained its prominent supremacy. The beginning of this art was based on the details of Ghazwat in Islam but with the passage of time, it was enlarged in such a way that a great piece of literary work on ‘Sacred role’ has been pin pointed in sub-continent. Many literate of persona put forth their pens on this topic out of whom Noor Bakhsh Tawakli is also the most famous name who wrote a with title of “Seerat Rasool-e-Arabi” on the personality of Rasool. The expression of the affection and following of the Rasool (saw) by Noor Bakhsh Tawakli is expressed by the leaves of this book. He is best known for his popular for this book which has its own status in this field. He wrote the book in the era during which the western civilization had strangled the youth of that time. Materialism was in its climax. A great piece of strife was being made to disintegrate the true bond of affection and following of the Rasool (saw) but the profundity of learning, recognition of knowledge, strict eye on the present condition of that time and the salient factors of love of the Rasool (saw) were quite dominant in this book. The leaves of which were enriched with the florescence of love and affection of Rasool(saw).  

Human Resource Development Through Foreign Aided Projects in Azad Jammu & Kashmir

This study presents an analysis of the impact of training (capacity development) through three foreign aided project in AJK. For that purpose a customized set of capacity domains was developed using standard analysis tools devised and used by UNDP against whom the change due to trainings will be measured. The variables of the model are Relevance, Performance, Efficiency, Effectiveness, Sustainability, Community Participation. The study is theoretical as well as statistical in nature. The statistical estimates and analysis are based on a data set of various surveys and scheduled interviews. The study concludes that although trainings for the extension workers and master trainers were relevant and efficient but they couldn''t provide desired results as these workers couldn''t pass on the knowledge gained to the ultimate beneficiaries of the project. This study identifies some inherent flaws and exclusion of some important factors which rendered the trainings less effective. Sustainability and community participation were the weaker areas of the project and created some negative effects. The analysis also includes recommendations for more prudent future policy making of such projects. This research study is first of its kind for the Azad Kashmir. This will help not only in presenting an overview of lessons learnt, strengths and weaknesses of the foreign aided projects. But will serve as data base for short term and long term planning and future research
