In the present study, we are recognizing these findings by focusing on the role of perceived HRM practices. Our model explains that when employees perceive that HRM practices are to enhance their performance the experienced higher level of job involvement which is the reason behind lower level of emotional exhaustion. Conversely, when employees perceived that HRM practices are to cut down the cost they feel work overload which converted into higher level of emotional exhaustion. The data was collected using simple random sampling and statistical software was analyzed through SPSS. For analysis, Correlation and regression were used to test the research hypothesis. For this Research, a study is conduct in banking sector of employees in Pakistan.

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 The Influence of Ethical Leadership, Pro-Environmental Organizational Climate and Green Organizational Identity on Employee’s Green Innovation Behavior(Library Information Services COMSATS University Islamabad Lahore Campus, 2020-02-03) Muhammad Adnan; SP19-RMS-008; Dr. Asma Imran; LHR TP 6384The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of Ethical Leadership and Employee’s green innovation behavior through using the two mechanisms such as Green organizational identity and Pro-Environmental organizational climate. Employee’s green innovation behavior is a desirable choice for company growth and Environmental sustainability.

The data were collected through printed questionnaire. Approximately, 300 questionnaires were distributed among the middle and lower staff employees and 280 questionnaires were received. The results divulge that a positive significant relationship between the ethical leadership and employee’s green innovation behavior. In addition, results reveal that green organizational identity partially mediated the relationship between ethical leadership and employee’s green innovation behavior. Simultaneously, Pro-Environmental organizational climate did not moderate and results show the insignificant relationship between ethical leadership and green organizational identity. In the last, conclusion, implication, recommendation, and future study are also presented at the end of the study.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.

Collected the data from frontline employees of amusement family parks, indoor play lands etc.from Lahore & Rawalpindi regions of Pakistan. We used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to test the purposed associations. Outcomes recommend that job embeddedness mediates the impact of high-performance work practices on turnover intentions and did not mediate the impact of work social support on turnover intentions of frontline employees in amusement sector of Pakistan. Particularly, frontline employees with high-performance work practices are extra embedded in their jobs and organizations, and consequently unlikely to exhibit turnover intention. This purposed research endorses that high performance work practices (empowerment, training, and rewards) influence turnover intentions via job embeddedness. Hence, high performance work practices embed frontline employees of amusement sector in their jobs, and they are unlikely to demonstrate turnover intentions. Additionally work social support must be practiced in direction to sustain a healthy atmosphere where employees are able to improve their job embeddedness. This purposed research enhances the boy of existing literature by exploring the antecedents of job embeddedness. This investigation also enlarges the existing knowledge by inspecting mediation role of job embeddedness between the associations of high-performance work practices, work social support with turnover intentions by collecting the data from frontline employees of amusement sector in a non-Western country Pakistan.Item Sustainable Adoption of E-Health Technology: An Exploratory Survey from the Perspective of Healthcare Professionals(Library Information Services COMSATS University Islamabad Lahore Campus, 2020-01-30) Zulqarnain Shafqat; SP18-RPM-009; Dr. Asma Imran; LHR TP 6062The research in both developed and under develop countries on E-health applications are essential for advance quality of healthcare facilities in healthcare organizations.
