Our study consists of a sample population of 287 white collar employees in the public and private sectors of Pakistan. Analysis was carried out using SPSS and AMO programs. Hypotheses were tested by the structural equation model. Finding reveals that SHRM has a positive and significant influence on job satisfaction but an insignificant impact on the rule-breaking behavior of employees....

To fulfil this purpose, “non-linear autoregressive distributed lag” (NARDL) modelling was performed on the time series data collected from Pakistan for 26 years. The unit root test, co-integration test, long-run estimation, and NARDL estimations were applied to the data to generate findings. The present study revealed the presence of significant asymmetric associations between environmental degradation and tourism demand and economic growth and tourism demand. It is found that the increase and decrease in economic growth cause the tourism demand of Pakistan to increase. Results further indicate that the increase in environmental degradation in Pakistan causes its tourism demand to reduce. The current study tends to be theoretically significant and practically beneficial for Pakistan's policymakers. It will help them realize the ...

Responsible leadership is got importance due to its emergence in this sector. In order to check the impact of responsible leadership and knowledge sharing on job performance, this study has also incorporated the moderating factor of leader empathy and mediating role of helping initiatives at the workplace as well. For the completion of the study, a sample of 273 respondents was drawn out of the population in order to generalize the results to the whole population. These respondents were taken out from the IT sector of Pakistan, SPSS and AMOS were used to analyse the data.

For this purpose 380 questionnaires were distributed out of which 321 questionnaire were returned and the study gains an actual response rate of 84.4%. Some questionnaires were excluded because of missing values by using list-wise deletion method which includes particular statistical analysis and after that 310 complete questionnaires were selected for further proceeding. The relationship of Development Perspective of Human Resource Management, Lesson Learned System of Knowledge Management and Project Success with mediation of Project Management Competency Retention is exam...

Moreover, this study also tested the mediating role of continuous improvement and moderating impact of Industry 4.0 in this relationship. Data was collected from over 322 firms in the manufacturing sector of Pakistan using a survey questionnaire. A conceptual framework and related hypotheses were developed after the literature review, which was tested with PLS-SEM and analyzed. The results of this study showed that Innovation was directly and significantly related to Organizational Sustainability (OS). It was found that Continuous Improvement mediates the influence of Innovation on sustainability. Also, Industry 4.0 moderates between the Continuous Improvement and OS. Overall, the study findings supported the hypotheses for their direct and indirect effects, which were also in line with the findings of the studies conducted in past on sustainability. This study has major theoretical and practical implications. Theoretically, it advances RBV by suggesting the roles of Innovation and Continuous Improvement with sustainability and also established the boundary mechanism of Industry 4.0. Practically, the findings are useful for the firms not only in the manufacturing sector but also in other industries and guide the policymakers in making strategies for enhancing sustainability.
