Abstract

The purpose of our research is to gauge the impact of leadership integrity on packaging industry performance. Organizational citizenship behavior and job performance were used as the mediators. A close-ended questionnaire was used in order to collect the primary data from the relevant respondents. Those questionnaires were filled by 300 employees of 12 major packaging companies of Pakistan. Data were analyzed by using Smart PLS software v.3.2.8. Results revealed that leadership integrity has a positive significant effect on job performance and organizational citizenship behavior. Similarly, another relationship was found that job performance has a significant positive effect on performance within the context of the packaging industry. Conversely, organizational citizenship behavior does not seem to have a significant positive effect on packaging industry performance. Results also confirm that organizational citizenship behavior and job performance do not have a significant mediating role between leadership integrity and packaging industry performance. The results rejects significant mediating role between leadership integrity and packaging industry performance while evaluating organizational citizenship behavior and job performance.

Abstract

This research investigates the cause of the “demise of the big Other” after the experience of trauma and the symbolic meaning of the elements of magic realism in Exit West. Saeed and Nadia, and countless such victims of conflict, pass through magical doors to escape their predicament. This paper explores the symbolic meaning of passage through such doors and comments on the freedom afforded by the seeming failure of social rules in the wake of traumatizing conflict as well as the elements of unfreedom on the other end that await those who escape. This study is undertakes Psychoanalytic Criticism of the primary text, chiefly relying on the findings of Jacques Lacan and Slavoj Zizek in order to explain the mysterious collapse of socio-cultural regulations. Saeed and Nadia, in Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West, are involved in a secret relationship because the big Other of social rules in the novel has no place for such a human connection. However, this big Other, as social authority which provides Symbolic Efficiency, collapses following each traumatic encounter, primarily the killing of Saeed’s mother, allowing Nadia to live with Saeed. The big Other’s prohibition is arrested because of the very nature of trauma: the big Other is the domain of language whereas trauma is a manifestation of the Real, beyond language. Ergo, the big Other is subverted by trauma. Saeed and Nadia pass through magical doors into a realm where their regional social conventions are nullified. These doors represent trauma and open into spaces of relative freedom. In these spaces, the big Other invades again, represented by little Others in various modalities; nevertheless, remnants of freedom still exist. Besides bringing to light and interpreting trauma in a renowned work of literature, a new mode of resistance to social rules is discovered.

The impact of corporate diversification is being explored in this study to find how they affect capital structure and firm value. This study used panel data analysis during period of 2012 -2022. It is suggested that corporate diversification strategy has significant impact on corporate financial structure and market value behavior. The increase in use of debt may be valid due to diversification strategies to eliminating the cost and risk.

The study aligned the cost with asymmetric risk and signaling trade off by concluding that the product and asset specificity diversification strongly related with capital structure. The funds managers, policy makers, regulators and other stakeholders may feel a safer flight in the implementation of diversification strategies and financial risk management while considering these capital structure choices.

Abstract

Employee turnover is a significant concern for Information Technology (IT) organizations. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the moderating role of perceived job alternatives in the relationship between individual learning, compensation and benefits, and overtime work, on the turnover intention of employees. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect the data through a selfadministered structured questionnaire from 524 employees working in various micro, small, medium, and large size IT organizations. Data was analyzed using frequency, alpha reliability, common method biases, and process macro Hayes model 1. The results indicate that employees' turnover intention reduces due to individual learning, compensation and benefits, and overtime work. Moreover, perceived job alternatives only moderate the relationships between individual learning and compensation and benefits. This study advances the literature on employee turnover intention both theoretically and empirically, with a focus on perceived job alternatives as a moderator. Future directions and limitations were also discussed.
