Abstract

CEO compensation and power have crucial issues in assessing the innovative culture of firms. To address this issue, this study aims to investigate the nexus between CEO compensation and power on firms’ innovation under moderating role of ownership structure (measured in terms of ownership concentration, business group affiliation and CEO ownership). Ownership structure (ownership concentration, business group affiliation and CEO ownership) enables shareholders to exercise their statutory rights which play a vital role in the strategic decision-making of a company. To test the aforesaid relationship, data has been extracted from 27 chemicals and pharmaceutical firms listed at the Pakistan Stock Exchange during 2013-2021. The data gathered, thus, has been analyzed using various statistical techniques namely: descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Due to presence of various issues in data such as heteroscedasticity, auto-correlation and cross-sectional dependence, researcher has employed Panel Corrected Standard Error Model (PCSE). The findings reveal that CEO compensation has positive effect on firms’ innovation. Another interesting finding is that this relationship becomes negative under conditional role of ownership structure (ownership structure, business group affiliation, and CEO ownership) which supports agency theory. However, CEO power has no role in firms’ innovation even under moderating role of ownership structure. The findings offer certain implications for practitioners to fix the compensation of CEO in order to resolve type I and II agency issues, which can improve firms’ innovation. Findings of this study can help investors, policymakers and creditors to understand the importance of CEO compensation and power towards firm innovation in the presence of ownership structure

Abstract

The capacity of successful sports companies to maintain their competitive advantage over time and achieve their goals is directly correlated to the level of knowledge management such organizations use. This study's purpose is to investigate the management of athletic knowledge and the necessity of doing so in Pakistan in order to gain a competitive advantage in the sports business. Specifically, the research will focus on the following: The study sample is comprised of sixty male and female students who are currently enrolled inside the Sports Organization and Management Course at a several of higher education institutions in Lahore, Pakistan. These students are from different universities which are studied in HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) of Lahore Pakistan. The research was carried out using a quantitative approach because of the kind of the data that was gathered. To better understand how athletic knowledge management may be used to gain an edge in the sports industry, and how it can be used to improve the sports industry as a whole, a survey was sent to respondents that split its focus between these two areas. The overwhelming majority of respondents, 98%, are in agreement that effective knowledge management is necessary for achieving a competitive advantage in the sports work environment and for making improvements to the sports work environment. In addition, the data imply that knowledge management adds greatly to both the operations of knowledge management and the growth of the sports workplace. According to the findings, there are no distinguishing characteristics between males and females that can be supported by statistical analysis. There have been a number of key proposals made, one of the most important of which is the provision of safe, stable, methodical, and planned conditions for all courses in order to enhance and improve the athletic performance of employees. In order to materialize this concept, the upper management of the organization must place the provision of both physical and moral structure at the very top of their list of responsibilities

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of psychological empowerment on employee turnover intention with the moderating effect of career growth. A cross sectional survey was used to collect data. A total of 207employees of different pharmaceutical companies in Lahore, were participating through random sampling in this survey. Our finding shows that the two dimensions of psychological empowerment (emotional and relational) have an inverse relationship with intention to quit, whereas (behavioral and cognitive) psychological empowerment is not significantly related to the theory. Career growth shows moderating effect on relational psychological empowerment and turnover intention, although there is no moderating impact found in the remaining dimension of psychological empowerment (cognitive, emotional and behavioral) and turnover intention. Because of the strategic importance of human capital in an organization, it is important for the continuity of the pharmaceutical firms to retain their employees by providing best career growth path to move the employees as well as organization to the next level and save the human capital cost

This paper explores the perceptions of Pakistani freelancers regarding the role of the government in enhancing their career success. Through a qualitative approach by in-depth interview, the study examines the challenges faced by freelancers in Pakistan and the extent to which they believe government policies and initiatives can help address these challenges.
