Abstract

The main objective of this study is to empirically examine the associations between work goals (intrinsic and extrinsic) and early retirement intentions, with the mediating mechanism of work passion and the moderating role of flexible HR practices, spouse’s health, and position level (employees’ position level in organizations, e.g., junior manager at lower level, deputy manager at middle level, or senior manager at upper level etc.). Data for the study was collected through survey-based questionnaires distributed to a sample of 350 female employees from different public and private sector organizations in Pakistan. Testing of the hypotheses was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) with WarpPLS software. The findings indicate that employees’ work goals are  positively related to the level of passion they feel about their work. However, this has a negative impact on their early retirement intentions. Besides, the results show that this work passion mediates the relationship between work goals and early retirement intentions. Furthermore, flexible HR practices, position level, and spouse’s health moderate the relationship between work passion and early retirement intentions. The study’s theoretical and managerial contributions and limitations are also discussed at the end of the article.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the Libyan chicken breed and its origin, and to evaluate its potential for the development of a new Libyan local chicken breed with high genetic quality and productivity. A qualitative research design has been implemented to carry out this research with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data collection was done by reviewing scholarly literature from scientific journals, academic books, and credible online databases. This research analyzed previous studies to determine patterns that outline the genetic potentials, challenges, and opportunities in breeding programs for enhancing the productivity and resilience of Libyan local chickens. The results showed that the indigenous chicken varieties of Libya, such as Gallus gallus, Baladi or El-Balad, and Hypeco, are essential to the nation's agricultural and culinary traditions. These varieties are hardy and ideal for rural and semi-urban locations with limited access to contemporary farming infrastructure. This study's findings highlight Hypeco's potential as a top contender for the creation of a new breed of locally grown chickens in Libya with superior genetic quality and productivity. In the face of issues with food security, their resilience to intense heat, limited feed supply, and limited water supplies makes them priceless assets. A lack of effective farming methods, contemporary breeding procedures, and the required infrastructure limits these local hens' production and economic viability. These local hens' production and economic viability are limited by a lack of effective farming methods, contemporary breeding procedures, and the required infrastructure. Building infrastructure to assist the regional poultry business should also be a priority. This entails expanding access to veterinary care, storage facilities, water, and high-quality feed.
