    Textile sector is one of the oldest and largest export industries in the world (Dhiman, 2016). Textile sector has been expanding speedily from the early 1970’s and providing millions of employment to the workers (Saheed, 2011).The top ten textile exporters of the world are China, India, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Serbia, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Taiwan (Patrick, 2006).Global Textile and Apparel Trade in 2017 was US$750 billion (Wazir, 2018). The global apparel market is expected to grow with amount of US$ 2.6 trillion in 2025 with the rate of growth 4% per annum (Kumar, 2018). The major driver of textile such as China and India will grow in that market with expected amount of US$ 378 billion and US$ 121 respectively in 2025, because top textile countries uses latest technology, understand the Stakeholder needs and produce efficiently with low production cost and enjoy economic of scale (Noor, 2017).Textile sector around the world has been facing a serious problem, that is employees jobs dissatisfaction and turnover rate (Nurul, 2018). According to the study of Global Workforce, the employee turnover rate has continuously increased, because majority of employees working in private sector always hope to switch their current job to another job within two year therefore turnover rate is recorded 36% in year 2015 as compared to 29% in year 2012 (Willis, 2015). The continuous high jobs dissatisfaction is not a good sign to the organization; it affects organization’s costs, employee morale that stays in the organization, increase turnover rate and weak performance.

Total contribution of Pakistan textile industry in overall exports is 60 percent 9.6 billion dollar (Khan & Khan, 2010). Pakistan a 4th biggest manufacturer and producer of cotton in the whole world with intrinsic advantage of proving quality cotton. Every industry success depends on the availability of raw material in the local market specially when that raw material is produced in excessive amount. Pakistan with this advantage gives to textile manufacturing industries to reduce their input cost and increase profitability.

    (Library Information Services COMSATS University Islamabad Lahore Campus, 2020-01-30) Tabassum Rasool; SP18-RPM-001; LHR TP 6060; Dr. Saleha Javed
    Positive psychology is very important for the employees. This research pertains to the construction industry employees’ psychological functioning and perspicacity. As the nature of the construction projects is very stressful and demanding, the main purpose of our research is to investigate the impact of PsyCap and employee engagement on performance of engineers working at construction projects in Pakistan, mediation effect of “employee engagement” and moderation effect of “authentic leadership”. The comprehensive framework of the study provides the better understanding and has addressed the vast spectrum of literature regarding the impact of “PsyCap” on engineers’ performance with mediation effect of “employee engagement” and moderation effect of “authentic leadership”. A survey-based approach using a questionnaire was adopted to achieve the objectives of the study. 400 questionnaires were distributed after visiting the construction sites. Due to COVID-19 pandemic a lockdown was imposed and all offices/projects were closed. So, we used the Google form and sent emails to engineers working on construction projects in Pakistan. Our respondents were engineers working on different construction projects in Pakistan. Analysis has been done by correlation and regression analysis techniques. Mediation is checked by process of Andrew F. Hayes. Findings show that there is a significant relation between PsyCap, employee engagement and employee performance. Employee engagement partially mediates the relationship between PsyCap and performance of engineers working at different construction projects in Pakistan. But, moderating role of authentic leadership between PsyCap and performance of engineers found to be insignificant. Data was collected from engineers working in construction projects in Pakistan. Software SPSS version 25 was used to test the framework. The findings may help the engineering sector to implement these positive organizational behaviors to improve the performance of engineers. Positive psychology is very important to enhance the performance and engagement of engineers and it has highest return on investment. It will help engineers to work without stress and link them psychologically to their organizations and projects. There are some limitations of this study as it is done in only one sector, due to less time we used cross-sectional approach. In future other researchers may explore this model in other sectors. In future a qualitative study maybe conducted.
