The thesis has two primary foci: (1) To identify issues related to the development of effective corporate
leadership for achieving high performance organizations, and (2) To study emotional intelligence with respect
to effective corporate leadership and its outcomes in the shape of organizational performance. Numerous tests
have been developed to appraise El, among them, two most important are; MSCEIT and ESCI, ability and mixed
methods respectively. ESCI was employed in the study due to its pertinence to business world; to assess
effective corporate leadership, various aspects were observed including personal, interpersonal, managerial
and societal effectiveness; and high performance organization was reviewed through aspects including
corporate reputation, employee commitment, market performance and financial performance.
Emotional intelligence was considered as predictor variable while personal effectiveness, interpersonal,
managerial and social effectiveness were considered as predicted variables with organisational performance
as an outcome variable. Corporate leaders from various business organizations were selected for the
formation of sample. Likert scale based questionnaire was developed and administered through various ways;
by hand, through postal services, by electronic mails and through online (website). Around 1171
questionnaires were sent to corporate leaders of the organizations listed in Islamabad Stock Exchange (ISE),
Pakistan. The participants, who responded back, were sent 959 questionnaires but 331 questionnaires were
received back after a period of a year time generating 28% response rate. A statistical package for social
sciences, version-19 and SmartPLS were employed for analysis. Eight hypotheses were developed to test the
relationship of El with ECL, and 1--IPO as outcome. SEM and regression analysis supported the proposed
significant relationship in the hypotheses, and correlation analysis depicted the positive association as well.
Results suggested the development of corporate leadership to the level of effectiveness through augmentation
of emotional intelligence, in order to achieve high performance organisation.
ڈاکٹر شرف الدین اصلاحی مرحوم پروفیسر امیر حسن عابدی اور پروفیسر عبدالقوی دسنوی کا غم کم نہ تھا کہ جناب شرف الدین اصلاحی کے سانحہ ارتحال کی خبر دارالمصنفین اور پوری علمی دنیا کو سوگوار کرگئی۔ اِناﷲ وَ اِنا اِلَیہ رَاجِعُون۔ ڈاکٹر شرف الدین اصلاحی اعظم گڑھ کی مردم خیز سرزمین سے اٹھے، ان کا مولد موضع سنجرپور ہے، مدرسۃ الاصلاح میں تعلیم حاصل کی، مدرسۃ الاصلاح کو اپنے جن فرزندوں پر ناز ہے اور یہ تعداد میں کم نہیں، ان میں ایک یقینا شرف الدین اصلاحی مرحوم بھی تھے، الاصلاح کی تاریخ پر گہری نظر رکھنے والوں نے اس کے مختلف ادوار تقسیم کیے ہیں، اس میں عہد زریں کی نمائندگی کرنے والوں میں بھی اصلاحی مرحوم کا نام شامل ہے یہ بھی کہا جاتا ہے کہ اصلاحیوں میں ان کی ذہانت سب سے نمایاں تھی۔ سنجرپور اور اعظم گڑھ کے اس لائق فرزند کو گروش روزگار نے پاکستان پہنچا دیا، کراچی میں رہ کر اصلاحی مرحوم کی ذہانت کے ساتھ ان کی مشکل پسند طبیعت کا بھی ظہور اس طرح ہوا کہ انہوں نے لسانیات کے موضوع پر تحقیق کے لیے سندھی زبان کا انتخاب کیا، سندھی زبان سیکھی اور ذراسی مدت میں اردو سندھی کے روابط کے رموز و اسرار فاش کرنے کے لائق ہوگئے، پی ایچ ڈی کے لیے ڈاکٹر رضی الدین صدیقی اور ڈاکٹر غلام مصطفی خاں کی خواہش و فرمائش، اصلاحی صاحب کے لیے سخت آزمائش تھی، بقول ان کے ’’لسانیات میرا خاص مضمون نہ تھا اور سندھی سے میں ناآشنائے محض تھا، اس حالت میں اردو سندھی کے لسانی روابط پر تحقیقی کام کا بیڑا اٹھانا بڑی جسارت کی بات تھی‘‘ اصل بات یہ ہے کہ وہ چیلنجوں پر یقین کرنے والے تھے اور اپنی ہمت و محنت سے وہ بار عظیم کو اٹھانے میں کامیاب بھی ہوتے تھے، ہم...
The aim of this research is to assess the impact of social capital on civic engagement. The quantitative method was applied to measure impact of independent variables on dependent variable. The survey instrument was applied to collected data from undergraduate student of four general Universities of Pakistan. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was applied to measure impact of bridging, bonding social capital and trust on civic engagement. Results indicate that bonding social capital and trust have strong association with civic engagement, however, association between bridging social capital and civic engagement was found insignificant. The analyses indicate that it is a basic requirement to bring immediately policy reforms in context of youth development and create more opportunities for youth to engage in the social and structural development of society.
Thesis Title: The Effects of Cross Cultural Training on the Performance of Expatriates in Business Organizations The purpose of this research study is to explore the practice of the cross cultural training before expatriates are posted on overseas assignments, and to assess the impacts of cross cultural training on the performance of expatriates. Multinational organizations need expatriates who can be representatives, ambassadors and have knowledge of coordination, integration of operations, knowledge transfer, and global managerial skills as they are investing in foreign markets to establish some subsidiaries in foreign countries. During this process, many of expatriates are not able to complete their overseas assignments. The rate of failure sometimes can reach to 85 percent. The main reasons of this high rate are culture shock, difficulties in adjustment, and so on. A questionnaire was developed based on the theoretical framework. The samples comprising 100 expatriates were taken from different organizations; education, construction, telecommunication, and press and media were focused in particular. The conclusion of the study has revealed that there are multi-faceted benefits of cross cultural training for expatriates working abroad. Cross cultural training can minimize culture shock, and premature return. Moreover, it can facilitate cultural adjustment, high productivity, and expatriates’ performance. The study has been delimited to the global companies operating in Pakistan. However, the majority of the organizations are established in Islamabad.
