Rising geopolitical challenges, increase in population and growing companies form a stress on the power sector that lacks the ability to meet requirements of electricity in the country. This results in electricity cuts at certain times during the day. Due to these electricity cuts private industries/firms has suffered a lot in terms of their production, as a result different firms and households started self generation in order to cover supplied electricity deficiency. For continuous and economical supply of electricity private industries started installing their own thermal power plants. Gas, Diesel/H.F.O and coal fired are the types of power plants that were installed and still being installed by private industries of Pakistan. At beginning these power plants were installed without proper management and well defined performance indicators but with the increase in technology complexities, growth of industries to international level, international health and safety environment (HSE) rules and increase in power demand these power plants began to become a failure without proper management and well defined performance indicators. So, Industries had to shutdown large number of power plants as they were non profitable and not fulfilling the energy requirements as well. Thus, by observing this situation there is a certain need of defining specific set of Key Performance Indicators for these private industry power plants that could be followed during installation of power plant projects. As identifying key performance indicators is vital to prioritize low cost/no cost solutions and ensuring energy saving, ensure a safe working environment, ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations applied in a specific country and help in studies of technical and economic feasibility. Thus, this research aims to identify, recommend specific set of KPIs and reveal different levels of significance of KPIs for Gas, Diesel/H.F.O and coal power plants installation in private industries of Pakistan. After an extensive literature review, this research identifies 55 KPIs under 8 categories. A questionnaire survey was conducted in order to obtain the desired research objectives. Finally, survey results were analyzed to identify valid set of KPIs and comparison of significance of these KPIs for Gas, Diesel/H.F.O and coal power plants in Pakistan’s private industries. A valuable reference is provided in this study for all the related personnel involved in installation of power plant projects in private industries of Pakistan.Item Mental Health, Resilience and Workplace Wellbeing(Library Information Services COMSATS University Islamabad Lahore Campus, 2020-02-03) MUHAMMAD YOUSAF; FA18-RPM-020; Dr. Asma Imran; LHR TP 6543The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of mental health on workplace wellbeing along with the mediating effect of resilience. According to the designed framework of the study, one model is developed in the course of the research to study the impact of resilience on mental health and workplace wellbeing. Few studies have already been conducted that covers the working class of banking sector. However, no study has been conducted that can evaluate the state of psychological well-being or prevalence of mental disorders in the project employees working in public sectors. For the purpose of data collection, this study focuses on project initiative of Punjab Government. More precisely, Planning & Development (P&D) is Mother Department of all Government projects so it is chosen for the purpose of data collection These organizations are consulted to gather information via conducting surveys (Personal Interviews, or impersonal interviews) and by using a structured questionnaire. As far as method of analysis is concerned descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, correlational analysis, and multivariate regression analysis are computed to develop this relationship. A random sample of 150 respondents is chosen from the above mention organizations.Item Innovative Work Behavior in Software Houses of Pakistan: The Role of Knowledge Sharing and Ethical Behaviors(Library Information Services COMSATS University Islamaabad Lahore Campus, 2020) Zeeshan Ahmad; FA18-RMS-006; Dr. Asma Imran; LHR TP 6053Now a day, Innovation in services, processes and products are becoming a need of private organizations for long term survival in the market and for the grow of organization this competitive environment.
