GUEST SPEAKER III Title: Changing Landscape of Management Research: From Structural to Human Dr. Ghulam Dastgeer, Abstract The landscape of management research is ever changing. The first phase of the research was structural and system-oriented where much of research work was on development of structures, systems, policies, procedures and practices for effective and efficient management. I.e. principles of Management, Strategic Management, International Management.However, the past, efforts at organizational change focused only on the structural aspects of organizations have systematically failed because they have neglected the reality that change does not happen without individual people changing their thinking, beliefs, and behavior. A second phase of research is Huma-oriented. Where much emphasis is on understanding the link between Management practices and Human dimension (Body, Mind, Heart and Soul). I.e. the behavioral management, neuro management fields are current focus of interest of researchers. Further in future we believe researcher will more focus on other dimensions of human i.e. Heart and Soul and two more filed of research would emerge i.e. Cardio Management and Spiritual Management.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-ACC-117 THE NEXUS OF JUDICIAL EFFICIENCY, SOCIAL BURDEN AND DEFAULT RISK: A CASE OF SOUTH ASIAN COUNTRIES Muhammad Irfan, PhD Scholar Islamia College Peshawar Email: [email protected]

The paper investigates heterogeneous institutional costs related to firm bankruptcy and default risk over a comprehensive sample of South Asian economies between 2000 and 2018. We find that corporate default risk is decreasing in judicial efficiency whereas it is increasing in potential social costs related to high umemployment rate. We also find that firms with less cash reserves are more likely affected by the effect of judicial efficiency on moderating corporate default risk. Our main findings indicate that creditor protection is a crucial channel to lowering carporate default risk, through which judicial efficiency alleviates the pressure from accelerating debt repayment. We further show that it is conditional on contextual factors that whether the two types of institutional costs are complementary or substitute on firm default risk.

Keywords: Judicial efficiency; social burden; bankruptcy; corporate default risk

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the social system and performance of Pakistani Pardah observers in rural areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Moreover, the role of women’s empowerment as a mediator is also investigated on the relationship between social system and performance in the socio-cultural context of a restrictive society of Pakistan. Methodology: The study is quantitative in nature which targets a rarely investigated niche of Pakistani women. Data was collected from 253 self-employed home bound women using a self- administrative questionnaire who observe veil and belong from the seven districts of KPK using a multi-stage cluster sampling. The data was analyzed through the multiple regressions to examine the relationship of variables under study. Findings: There is a significant relationship between social system, empowerment and performance. The two dimensions of social systems namely family’s support and socio-cultural factors have a significant impact on the performance of self employed rural women of KPK. Moreover, empowerment mediates the relationship between the social system and performance. Research limitations: The study is limited to the districts of only one Pakistani province i.e. KPK as accessing women of all the provinces of Pakistan as the target population was not possible because of time and cost constraints. Practical implications: This study focuses on the importance of the social system to empowerment and the performance of Pardah observers in a socially restricted environment where stepping out of home is considered as a matter of family’s reputation and honor. In this backdrop, the policy makers must initiate assistance programs specifically targeted at women working behind the veil in order to empower them. In order to create an atmosphere where these women are recognized by society as role models and get social acceptance of their work, media must highlight the success stories of Pardah observers.

It has also affirmed a significant moderating effect of commercial and professional infrastructure on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance. Research Implications: This research would help relevant stakeholders, policy makers and professionals to develop strategies for promoting and making strong commercial and professional infrastructure for small and medium enterprises to perform successful entrepreneurial activities at firm level. Value/Originality: The current research study contributes both in terms of theoretically as well as contextually. Theoretically, this research is an attempt to fill the gap by including commercial and professional infrastructure variables as moderator on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance. Since, majority of the research studies conducted on firm level entrepreneurship previously more focused on internal factors i.e. Passion for work, transformational leadership, managerial power, organization advice and organizational culture as mediator or moderator. Contextually, mostly studies have been conducted so far in the context of developed countries to examine the direct relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance in different sectors i.e. service sectors, large organizations. However, very limited research studies have been conducted in the context of developing countries like Pakistan and more specifically small and medium manufacturing enterprises located in major industrial estates of the province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-ENT-155 EXPLORING CHALLENGE-BASED OUTCOMES FOR UNDERDOG INDIVIDUALS TO LAUNCH AN ENTREPRENEURIAL VENTURE *Rabia Naseer, **Dr. Anil Behal *PhD Scholar& Lecturer, Department of Management Sciences, Islamia College Peshawar **Chief Executive Officer, ORGDYNE Training and Consulting LLC, King of Prussia, PA, USA. Email: [email protected]

Grounded in the theoretical model of challenge-based entrepreneurship, this study interprets transgender individuals as underdogs in the socio-cultural context of Pakistan. The study aims to explore challenge-based outcomes that help them to launch an entrepreneurial venture. Based on the interpretative phenomenological study, eight transgender entrepreneurs were identified through purposive and snowball sampling. The data were collected through semi- structured interviews. Following an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), the study revealed that stigma associated with non-binary gender identity causes multiple challenges and resulted in connecting with the community, sense of resilience, demonstrating a healthy attitude towards society and true self-esteem. These outcomes are crucial for them to launch an entrepreneurial venture. The insights of this study open new horizons in entrepreneurial research to understand challenges from a perspective of stigma. The results provide a self-help mechanism on the individual level to cope with the stigma associated with the challenge(s) that may lead to the launch of an entrepreneurial venture.

Social entrepreneurship plays an important role in providing cushion to the government and the community to solve various problems such as economic, environmental and social. The problems are always on the rise in a developing country such as Pakistan where lacks resources to combat them. Though this sector is still in its early stage in Pakistan yet it has a promising future as the recent years has witnessed a rapid growth in the area. Social enterprises are narrowing the gap between that exists between the demands of the basic unmet needs of the society and the supply of the services to fulfill these unmet needs by the government. Sustainability is one of the key problems that these organizations are facing. In the context of social enterprises sustainability refers to the capacity of the social enterprise to contribute towards the society while remaining financially stable and viable. In order to become a successful organization, it must exploit, adapt and fit itself to the forces that are that are present in its external environment as no organization operates in vacuum. These forces can provide opportunities as well threats to the sustainability of these organizations. Therefore this research investigated the impact of these external factors and their impact on the sustainability of social enterprises in Pakistan. This research will employee a survey based quantitative technique for data collection. The data will be collected from managers and owners of the social enterprises in Pakistan. The proposed theoretical model will be tested for discriminant, convergent validity and composite reliability. Moreover, the relationship will be investigated using Structural equation model to draw the conclusions.

Corporate environmental reporting is the most essential and a global issue. Due to the increasing awareness of reporting practices it became an important source for supporting decisions of stakeholders. The objective of this research is to measure the current practices of corporate environmental reporting along with its pros and cons. To achieve the study objectives, semi-structured interviews from various organizations have been conducted to come up with the perceptions of stakeholders regarding the environmental reporting practices. It has been found that despite the increasing trend of environmental reporting, company’s reporting practices are still in developing phase as they do not show much concern towards environmental reporting. In order to improve the reporting practices, responsibility to report should be owned at all levels of organization as well as the government should strengthen the environmental reporting practices through implementation of the environmental regulations and by increasing the education and awareness of environmental concerns.

The pandemic situation of COVID-19 has resulted in over 4.4 million confirmed cases and more than 2.9 million deaths worldwide. Pakistan is also not an exception and there are 35,788 confirmed cases with a death toll of 770. Moreover, it is being warned by economists that the coronavirus outbreak is likely to lead to a global recession. The business enterprises around the world are therefore worried about the short as well as long term implications of the recession. This recession would be different from the global financial crisis of 2008 which

1st International Conference (Online) on Issues in Management and Social Sciences in the Context of COVID-19, August 22-23, 2020 led to a collapse in demand; whereas recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to collapse the global supply chain, production lines, equity markets, and especially of food items. The impending recession is also going to particularly take a heavy toll on fragile states which are highly prone to unrest and conflict. In response to this global outbreak, the paper summarizes the impact of this deadly coronavirus on the various segments and sectors of Pakistan’s economy and also suggests possible remedial measures and action plan that should be considered by the government to deal with the repercussions of the extended halt of business and industrial activities in the country as a result of complete lockdown.

The myths and beliefs have made the public paranoid about the viruses. As the coronavirus continues to make the news, a host of untruths has surrounded about the topic. People have become more frightened due to increasing rate of virus spread and also about the conspiracies related to it all over the world. The aim of this study is to identify the myths and beliefs of adults about the novel corona-virus by using Q methodology to aid in the development of basic strategies to modify their understanding. Based on 195 responses, experts' attitudes towards Covid-19 have explored. Further, experiences, viewpoints, knowledge and information received from various channels are also considered. Our results reveal three attitude-related communities, representing three distinctive types of expert attitudes. Religion dependent people are highly dependent upon religion as evident from their replies that they would like to rely on God and a minister the most. Science-adherent people have great affection for life and believe in modern medical advancements. The sardonic people regard Covid-19 as the dispensation of nature so there is no need to be afraid of death and dying. Furthermore, the findings may provide the basis for the development of more appropriate strategies to improve understanding of people about viruses in future in developing countries.

The global existence of information creation has made the boundaries between many areas of science and technology blur. Current improved system, technology, products, facilities and business models emerge with diverse roots leveraging integrated solutions. The current spillover or flow of information has driven the development of new interdisciplinary research areas on this phenomenon. This paper discusses the influence of the spillover effects of

1st International Conference (Online) on Issues in Management and Social Sciences in the Context of COVID-19, August 22-23, 2020 information on the creative activities of organizations and introduces a spillover effects classification based on seven attributes. The empirical research was carried out using cross- reference data from Russian industrial companies the stratified study contains data for 252 companies in the high tech sector.it is concluded that the spillover effects of information lead to improvements in both business models and efficiency of industrial enterprises. The degree of this effect depends directly on whether enterprises with well-developed international relations have a critical massge of absorption material. Knowledge spillover effects allow companies to regularly secure the payback of export and innovation investment only through continuous inflow of complementary information and experience from international partners. Such transparency however comes with the lack of control, the risk of being taken over, and the need for substantial consumer demand to be present. Spillovers of information against rivals are considered an important part of the innovation process. Although a business may benefit from incoming information about effective R&D conducted by other companies, a generally high risk of knowledge leakage in an industry would have a negative effect on profitability. This paper presents the findings of an empirical analysis on the impact of outgoing and incoming spillovers on the competitiveness of businesses.it turns out that actually, the predicted asymmetry is at work. Unlike competitors spillovers, manufacturers, consumers and research institutions have little effect on spillovers. This research explores the influence of export learning effects on the innovative activities of companies. Advances are taken into account in terms of both operational and technical advances. The global existence of information creation has made the boundaries between many areas of science and technology blur. Furthermore, it has been shown that the impact of learning-by-exporting on the creative success depends not on the geographical path of exports (developed or emerging markets) but on the industry affiliation of companies.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-FIN-080 THE INFLUENCE OF TAX COMMUNICATION AND TAX BENEFITS ON INDIVIDUAL TAX COMPLIANCE BEHAVIOR. TRUST AS AN INTERVENING AND RELIGIOSITY AS MODERATED FACTORS. (EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM KP PAKISTAN) Jansher Khan*, & Dr. Hamidullah** *MS Scholar, Islamia College Peshawar, Pakistan **AssistantProfessor, Islamia College Peshawar, Pakistan Email: [email protected]

Purpose: The aim of this study to investigate the effect on the perception of people who have trust in government, tax communication, tax benefits, and the moderated role of religiosity on the voluntary tax compliance of fresh business graduates in KP Peshawar. Research Design/Approach/Methodology: The study adopted a cross-sectional research design. A random probability sampling technique is preferred to be used in this research. The population size is 2663 while the sample is consists of approximately 350 pre-designed questionnaires to be filled by 7th and 8th semester students of business schools in Peshawar city Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province of Pakistan. The Likert-type questionnaire is proposed to be used as an instrument to collect the primary data from the respondents. Statistical software STATA would be used for analysis. Correlation coefficient and mediated moderated Regression Model (MMRM) would be used through PLS-M to explain the nature of the relationship and forecast the variability among the variable and test the hypothesis in the research. We expect that there is a direct and indirect effect of tax benefits and tax communication on individual voluntary tax compliance positive and significant. Furthermore, we also expect that there is a direct positive effect of trust in government on individual voluntary tax compliance. Religiosity moderates the role of trust in government on voluntary tax compliance. Limitations: It is a cross-sectional study; data would be collected at a single point in time so changes with respect to time cannot be assessed. Data will be collected from responded in Peshawar so it cannot be overgeneralized but Peshawar is the capital and largest populist city of KP making it the representative of others. Originality /Value: The study is novel in its nature. The concept of tax compliance and its determinants are hardly been investigated in the context of Pakistan. This study contributes not only to the research literature but also to help tax institution and policy maker to develop strategies toward improving tax compliance. It was prompted by the stagnant revenue collection efforts in Pakistan amidst a taxpayer environment characterized by the poor tax compliance culture.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to test the emerging theory of Nudging in the context of Income Tax Authority operating in the Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Design/Methodology/Approach: In this study, the scholar will apply mixed method approach i.e. qualitative and quantitative, towards introducing a new dynamic approach to improve the individual as well as institutional tax compliance behavior in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The scholar will carry out a controlled experiment on the taxpayers- individuals as well as institutions where different types of treatment messages on the behavioral design and a neutrally-worded message will be used to judge the stakeholder's tax reporting behavior. The scholar, in collaboration with the income tax department, will send various types of behavioral design pop-up messages to the individuals as well as institutional tax payers in the Province. It is pertinent to mention that individuals are treated as of two types who receive the message: the individual who makes the reporting decision as an agent or the representative of the company having multiple employees working therein (termed as company-agent) and the individuals who are contributing on behalf of his own business as self-employed individual. Therefore, the authors consider both the company agent and self- employed individual separately. The authors will treat the income tax stakeholders with these types of letters i.e. Control Group with no Letters, Original Income Tax Letters, Behaviorally Designed Letters, Behaviorally Designed Letters Plus Social Norm Letters, Behavioral Design Letter Plus Deliberate Choice Letter, and Behavioral Design Letter Plus National Pride Letter. Moreover, the author hypothesizes that after issuing the newly behaviorally designed letters, it will lead to raise the income tax revenues following the slogan of the current government to improve the Tax to GDP ratio and so forth enhancing the tax payers reporting behaviors. To crosscheck the results, the authors will use several robustness tests. First, the authors will compare declarations of the taxpayers in the month they receive the behavioral design message versus the taxpayer's declarations in the immediately preceding month. Second, the authors will compare the total contributions of the other heads as well. Third, the authors will also use regression estimates to control other factors that may affect individual reporting behavior of the taxpayers i.e. the region where the taxpayers are located (rural area, urban area), the sector of the economy in which the taxpayers are working (e.g., public vs private sector), the type of payment (e.g., manual vs electronic). 55

Research Limitations/Implications: In this study, the authors are bound to issue new behaviorally designed letters only when the reminder letters become due usually after one year (12 months reporting time period). Moreover, only the income tax authority working in the Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is considered to be tested via the â€œNudgetheoryâ€•. After issuing the behaviorally designed letters, the authors will have to wait for one year to feel any changes in the tax payers reporting behavior so as to confirm their compliance behaviors. Practical Implications: After conducting the study, the authors expect that sending new behaviorally designed reminder letters as opposed to the original Income Tax Letters will pervasively lead to improve the income tax reporting behavior in the aforementioned Province. Results of the study might be extended to other Province to improve the income tax compliance behaviors so as to rationalize the Tax to GDP ratio to finance the public sector projects across the whole country of Pakistan. Hence, our results will suggest the competent authority that how to Nudge the income tax system to streamline and raise the income tax revenues.

The population will be comprised of non-financial firms listed on Pakistan stock exchange, using Yamane, sample size and sampling technique 198 firms will be selected randomly for a period of eight years (2010 to 2018) subject to the availability of data. Regression and correlation will be used to analyses the data and test different hypothesis. From the result we will expect a significant relationship between NASF and the quality of financial reporting and significant relationship between the Audit Quality and the quality of financial reporting. Limitations/Implications: The current study will used secondary data of only such firms where FRQ is reported so the sample size of such firms may be limited. Further the study is based on secondary data so its validity will be subject to the data provided by the firms in their annual reports. Secondly Due to scare resources and limited time; the study will only include the non-financial firms listed on Pakistan stock exchange, while the financial sector is not included. This study is important for investors, creditors, and other stake holder's confidence .Good quality of financial reporting build up investor and other stakeholder's confidence, this study is equally important to policy makers to develop rules and regulations to avoid economic bonding between auditor and management, and make sure the availability of true and fair view of financial statements. Originality/Value: The study is novel in its nature as the field of audit as not much explored in Pakistan. The NAS is banned in Europe and UK. They impose stick rules regarding NAS provided by same audit firm also providing audit services to same firm. Previously there no such study carried by researchers in Pakistan.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The current study is quantitative in nature and will used explanatory research design to test the hypotheses developed to examine various determinants of accounting misstatement and also check the response of such misstatements by stock market. The study will consider non-financial firms listed on Pakistan stock exchange from the period of 2010 to 2019. Panel regression and correlation will used for the purpose of analysis. We expect a significant relation of ownership structure (ownership concentration, family ownership, managerial ownership) with accounting misstatement. We also expect that audit committee independence, external audit quality and board independence will also significantly affect accounting misstatements. Regarding the market response towards the corporate misstatements we expect that rational investors will negatively response to the accounting misstatements. Limitations/ Implications: The current study will used secondary data of only such firms where misstatements have been reported so the sample size of such firm may be limited. Further the study is based on the secondary data so its validity will be subject to the data provided by the firms in their annual reports. Originality/Value: This study is novel in its nature as the concept of misstatements and its determinants is rarely been investigated in the context of Pakistan which is different from the other emerging markets based on the unique ownership and infant governance structure. Moreover, this study also considered the reaction of the capital market towards such misstatements in a market where there exists information asymmetry and provide a unique opportunity to be examined that how the market participants will responds to such conflicting reports of firms.

Keywords: Accounting Misstatement; ownership structure, governance mechanism's and market reaction

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-FIN-100 DYNAMIC IMPACTS OF GOLD PRICES, OIL PRICES AND EXCHANGE RATE ON STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE Asif Ali Safi, Research Scholar, Islamia College Peshawar, Pakistan Email: [email protected]

Currently emerging markets are passing through economic turmoil due to considerable increases in the prices of oil and gold with significant variation in the foreign exchange market. All the macroeconomic variables are touching the highest value which was never occurred in the history of Pakistan. As a result, these variables may affect one another which make the business environment more turbulent for investors. Now it is high time to address the issue and analyse the interdependent relationship among these variables. For this purpose, the study is using daily data of these macroeconomic variables for the period of January 2003 to December 2018. By using time series data analysis, it reveals that there is no co-integration or long-term relation among these variables, however, the vector auto-regressive model showed significant short-term relation among the securities market performance, foreign exchange rate, prices of oil and gold. The analysis also suggested that significant changes in the prices of oil, foreign exchange rates and the prices of gold have a negative lagged effect on the performance of securities market.

It cannot be expand to the period after or before the research is done. Originality/Value: The current study will contribute both in terms of theoretical as well as contextual ways. Firstly, with regard to theoretical contribution, this study reflects on the important constructs like innovation and IPRs. These constructs are hardly regressed together and a very limited literature is available in the context of Pakistan. However, it is pertinent to mention that innovation is indeed an important construct for organizations and industries. Secondly, with regard to contextual contribution, this study capitalizes on innovation in the context of developing countries particularly Pakistani context. Since, very few have been conducting in the mentioned context. The results of this study will assist government organizations, Policy makers, firms, regulators, investors in designing and planning of more effective intellectual property rights as well as Research & development expenditures for valuable stability and growth of the economy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating effects of Hofstedes’ four cultural dimensions on the coefficients of predictors in a financial distress (or failure) prediction model in textile sector of Pakistan and India. Design/Methodology/Analysis: The nature of current study is quantitative. Empirical data consist of 80 companies with time period of six year, 475 observations from 2 Asian countries i.e Pakistan and India. The researcher will utilize purposive/convenient sampling technique. For data collection, annual reports of listed companies for time period of 2014-2019 has taken from textile sector. First, an overall six variables logistic regression model is estimated to predict financial distress in an international context. Second, logistic regression models including moderating (interaction) effects with each financial predictor variable are estimated for each cultural dimension. Limitations/Implications: This study has focused only on two countries of Asia. This kind of analysis can be applied for Europe, Asian, American, and African countries as well, to get global results and more variation for the cultural dimensions. Finally, this study applied moderated logistic regression analysis to show separate effects of cultural dimensions. In further studies, other statistical methods such as the hierarchical linear mixed model should 60

The Covid -19 pandemic has severely affected the economy of Pakistan with pertinent effects on the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating in Pakistan. The aim of the study is to find out the effect of Covid -19 outbreaks on small businesses and also provide policies related contribution and general recommendations to reduce their losses so as to survive in this crunch situation. For this purpose, we overviewed the pertinent literature including different policies, research work and reports. The study sample consisted of 50 SMEs working in different sectors of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, for the period March 2020 to June 2020. Primary data was collected from administrative staff through the questionnaires. Results of the study indicate that most of the enterprises are facing reduction in demand, sales and profit margin and are also facing the issues of finance and supply chain distributions. Furthermore, more than 80% of the enterprises had neither proper planning nor safety measures to fight against such critical circumstances. Most of the respondents urged that they will compel to wind up their businesses if lockdown last for more than three months. The findings of this study are consistent with previous work done by the various researchers. On the basis of this research work different policies related suggestions and general recommendations are given to eliminate or mitigate the adverse effects of outbreak on the SMEs.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-FIN-137 AN INVESTIGATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE COUNTRY GOVERNANCE ON ACCOUNTING FRAUD CASES: A CROSS-COUNTRY PERSPECTIVE Muhammad Subhan* & Hamidullah** *MS Scholar, Islamia College Peshawar, Pakistan **Assistant Professor Islamia College Peshawar, Email: [email protected] Purpose: This study proposes to investigate the influence of country governance on accounting fraud cases in public sector organizations. Design/Methodology/Approach: Our study is quantitative and we will use explanatory design to test the developed hypothesis to analyze the influence of worldwide governance and competitiveness on the accounting fraud cases. Panel data will be collected from the period 2010-2019 from the World Bank database. Regression and correlation will be used for analysis. We expect that there could be a significant effect of an increase in political stability and the level of controlled corruption may decrease fraud cases in different countries. Besides, we expect that a better understanding of the detection of fraud is an effectively significant aspect of forensic accounting analysis in the success of corporate governance policies to boost development and decrease the risk of bankruptcies related to the recorded fraud cases of companies. Limitations/Implications: This study will use secondary data of only those firms where accounting fraud cases have been reported so the sample size of such firms may be limited. Our research will focus on only one empirical aspect of forensic fraud. We could not include some determinants due to restricted data access to those determinants that could affect the reported cases. Originality/value: This study is novel in nature as the concept of worldwide governance and competitiveness on accounting fraud cases is rarely been investigated in the context of Pakistan as well as in the case of emerging markets. Moreover, this study has implications for policymakers, regulatory bodies, and accountants.

According to the United Nations, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), poverty is placed at the top of the list among the 17 SDGs. One of the major problems of the world is poverty reduction and to reduce poverty, microfinance is used as a tool. There are many players present in the world to reduce poverty, and among others, there are financial institutions and are broadly called Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) which emerged to serve the purpose and focus clients outside the mainstream of financial system. This study uses the Scopus indexed Journals and Articles to examine 4,682 documents for the years 1989-2019. In this bibliometric study, our aim is to evaluate global research trends in microfinance area together with the aspects of micro-financial institutions on the basis of co-authorship among authors and affiliated countries, publication output, documents by source, top authors and their citations, by territory and funding sponsors, affiliated countries and co-occurrences of author keywords and shortcoming of the Scopus database, if any. Results show that the number of publications increases with a high pace from the year 2006 with 80 documents (570 cumulative documents) to the year 2019 with 679 documents (4681 cumulative documents). Researchers from the United States and India contributed to a greater extent leading to other territories. In conclusion, recent progress in microfinance research includes but not limited to financial inclusion, enterprise development, entrepreneurship. This study is a more comprehensive and broader bibliometric review in the field of microfinance covering every aspect, including MFIs, micro-insurance, financial inclusion, micro-savings which previous studies hardly cover.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of earning quality on stock return, relationship examination and authentic data of the organizations (both governmental and non-governmental) in Pakistan was used as the exploration technique. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research was on the quantitative approaches. Nature of this study was panel data using panel approaches for the study to investigate the relationship between the variables. The data was collected in the period from 2009 to 2018. Thus, the target companies (mixture of various sectors) listed in PSX. Time series data was employed for the study. The relation was measured through various statistical techniques that were descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis. Limitations/Implications: Due to limited time and number of organisation, the study will only focus on 50 registered organizations (10 years data) in Pakistan. However the current study will be useful for both academia as well as practitioners. Due to emerging nature of market and prevailing weak form of efficiency, the FF single factor model is not yet completely dead in Pakistan and can still be used as a determinant of stock returns in Pakistani stock Market as its yet unable to encompass the impact of wider firm characteristics of return determinations. Since a set of mutually exclusive alternate variables of firm’s characteristics can be used to examine its impact on stock returns so it opens the doors of further study that may require more variables and other analysis technique. Originality/Value: The aim of this research was to contemplate the impact of the quality of earnings on stock return of firms listed in Pakistan stock trade (PSX). The statistical sample includes 50 companies for Pakistan Stock Exchange during 2009-2018. For data analysis and statistical approaches, Regression Model based on panel data used with hausman test by applying Excel and Stata software's. Various statistical approaches are applied to decide the effect of earning quality and stock return. After assessment the negative impact of the earning quality on stock return of firm listed in PSX calculated.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-FIN-178 THE ROLE OF EARNING VOLATILITY ON FIRM VALUE: EVIDENCE FROM PAKISTAN Muhammad Muqsit Khan, Research Scholar, Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan Email: [email protected]

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship among earning volatility and Firm Value and further to investigate diversified and un-diversified risk affects the firm value. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study was to explore the impact of earning volatility on firm value for 60 non-financial companies listed at PSX. The sample period is about 15 years from 2003 to 2017. Only non-financial companies were used for analysis in 30th June whereas the year closing of financial companies is end of December. Panel data analysis was used. Different models were used in panel data. The first model of the common coefficient has constant intercept across all cross sections and time Period. The second model is the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) which describes that the intercept is different for all cross-sections. The third one is a Random Effect Model (REM), in which the intercept is different for all the cross sections along with random over time. The Hausmen test was used to determine which of the two models should be used for the study. Limitations/Implications: No previous work in Pakistan has investigated directly such relationship between the value of the firm and stability of financial statements. This study helps out the managers to make efforts to create and maintain a stable and smooth financial statement which adds value for the firms. This study also will be helpful for managers make better understand the association between earning volatility and firm values. The findings of the study serve as a tool to make the best decision on which firm to do invest. Individual investors also will be able to forecast the future value of the firm simply looking into volatility of earnings. Companies in Pakistan operate in an unpredictable and dynamic environment, for which Company not only needs to adjust its management to these variations but also financially be able to manage up with these. Another contribution of this study is that it brings together all type of variables, which have never been brought together in a research before in case of Pakistan such as systematic risk and Firm-specific risk variables. Originality/Value: This study aims to investigate the impact of earning volatility on firm value. The study has employed the data of 60 non-financial firms listed at Pakistan stock exchange for the period of 2003 to 2017. Earning volatility is calculated by creating rolling window of eight quarters. The systematic risk is measure by using market model on three years monthly data. The results of the study indicate that increase in earnings volatility have significant negative impact on firm value, whereas systematic risk has significant positive impact on firm value. The control variable, return on assets has positive and significant effect on firm value while leverage and the total assets have negative and significant impact on firm 70

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-FIN-180 THE IMPACT OF DIVIDEND POLICY AND STOCK PRICE RISK: EVIDENCE FROM NON-FINANCIAL FIRM IN PAKISTAN Sohail Ahmad, Research Scholar, Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan Email: [email protected]

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to find the impact of dividend policy measures i.e. dividend yield and pay-out ratio on stock price changes in the long run while taking the data period from 2014 to 2018. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study depends on optional information which was accumulated for 17 banks in Pakistan. The main source of information is supervision report of Pakistani Banks, yearly reports of business banks, etc. The information were gathered on market value per share, income per share, held proportion, return on value, benefit after duty, liquidity, share value unpredictability, profit payout proportion, profit yield proportion, development of absolute resources, size of complete resources and influence for example absolute obligation to value proportion. The pooled cross-sectional information investigation has been embraced in the examination. Limitations/Implications: Due to limited time and number of organisation, the study will only focus on 50 registered organizations (10 years data) in Pakistan. However the current study will be useful for both academia as well as practitioners. Due to emerging nature of market and prevailing weak form of efficiency, the FF single factor model is not yet completely dead in Pakistan and can still be used as a determinant of stock returns in Pakistani stock Market as its yet unable to encompass the impact of wider firm characteristics of return determinations. Since a set of mutually exclusive alternate variables of firmâ€™s characteristics can be used to examine its impact on stock returns so it opens the doors of further study that may require more variables and other analysis technique. This research recommends to design dividend policy on the basis of market psychology. Companies should be vigilant enough while paying dividends if they want to increase their share prices. Companies should adopt stable dividend policies because the company which pays stable dividends will have positive impact on shareholders wealth and firms value. If manager considers that dividend policy is vital to their investors and has positive effect on share price, they should embrace managed dividend policy rather than the residual one.

Originality/ Value: The study attempts to determine the impact of dividend policy on stock price risk in Pakistan. A sample of 60 listed companies in Karachi Stock Exchange is examined for a period from 2014 to 2018. The empirical estimation is based on a cross-sectional regression analysis of the relationship between stock price risk and dividend policy after controlling for firm size, earning risk, leverage and asset growth. Both dividend policy measures (dividend yield and payout ratio) have significant impact on the share price risk. The relationship is not reduced much even after controlling for the above mentioned factors. This suggests that dividend policy affects stock price risk and it provides evidence supporting the arbitrage realization effect, duration effect and information effect in Pakistan. The responsiveness of the dividend yield to stock price risk increased during reform period (1991- 2000). Whereas payout ratio measure is having significant impact only at lower level of significance. In overall period the size and leverage have positive and significant impact on stock price risk. The size effect is negative during pre-reform period (1981-1990) but positive during reform period. The earnings risk impact is negative and significant only during reform period. Although the results are not robust enough as in the case of developed markets but are consistent with the behavior of emerging markets.

Three nation explicit factors (swelling, the adjustment in swapping scale and the adjustment in joblessness rate) and two worldwide factors (explicit mainland zone GDP development and worldwide hazard avoidance caught by the suggested unpredictability of the Standard and Poor's nation's securities exchange list) Limitations/Implications: These findings have several implications for the financial community, academicians and policy-makers, which can be discussed as follows: Firm specific variables are more important in explaining nonperforming loan than macroeconomic variables. This indicates bad management is responsible for increase in non-performing loan. GDP growth rate and inflation are found insignificant to nonperforming loan ratio. This indicates firmsâ€Ÿ credit policy can manage the macroeconomic impact of non-performing loan. Expansionary monetary policy is investment friendly and this helps to reduce relative size of bad loan. Loan growth has been negatively related to NPL, implying that firms increasing loan amount can reduce NPL ratio. Careful observation is needed as lowering credit standard for loan growth may result in opposite effect. Firms should be increasing loan amount for good borrowers with efficient credit appraisal process. Demand pool loan growth will help the financial institutions. Non-bank financial institutions operating with high loan to asset ratio are exposed to higher credit risk and having higher NPL ratio. NBFIs should consider their optimal risk level while exposing themselves. Relative asset size is found insignificant to non-performing loan ratio. This implies big firms do not necessarily have better risk management mechanism. Originality/ Value: The financial institution has played an important role to ensures macroeconomic stability in various economic sector. The effective and efficient performance in banking sector has contributed as an indicator of financial stability in any country. Non- performing advances have turned into the primary worry in research the factors that affecting the expansion of banks' non-performing advances in Malaysia. The main objective of the study is to study the factors that influence the bankâ€™s non-performing loans (credits) in Malaysia. The three main factors studied are inflation, unemployment and interest rate. The secondary data from the south Asian countries. All the banks in the target countries were included for the study. The time period was for ten years between the years 2002-2018. The results generated show consistency with the empirical studies and some contrary with the theories and finding of other researcher as well. The findings have shown the factors such as inflation, unemployment and interest rate has an influence in increasing the non-performing loans.

In December 2019, the emergence of a new coronavirus in Wuhan, China, began and has subsequently developed into an internationally endangered hazard to human safety. It is a hazardous severest of coronavirus-2 [SARS-CoV-2] formerly known as 2019-nCoV. As per a WHO COVID-19 study, the number of reported cases of COVID-19 exceeded Sixteen million in the world on 26 July 2020. The subsequent COVID-19 has also expanded in Pakistan because Pakistan has a border with China and Iran. As per 25 July 2020, Pakistan has 2 lakh COVID-19 Cases. COVID-19 is also causing Adrenal insufficiency, which may involve loss in aldosterone output (a mineralocorticoid), and controls sodium accumulation, potassium release which water retention, and may result in inadequate adrenaline glands to generate an appropriate volume in steroid hormones, mainly Cortisol. At present, COVID-19 is not shown to be harder among those with primary and secondary supernal failure, however, the risk for breathing and viral infections of those with sudden failure is higher and patients with major inflammation and fever are at risk of life-threatening adrenal crises. The study aims to handle adrenal insufficiency in the COVID-19 period in Pakistan and to provide guidance on adrenal insufficiency management during a global COVID-19 pandemic crisis in Pakistan with the help of social networks including Facebook, YouTube, Tiktok, Instagram and Twitter. To manage adrenal insufficiency, we share guidance images and posts. We evaluate the accessibility of the public using our guidance images and post. We also evaluate the percentage of the audience views on each social media platform. We include both male and female in our study. Children are excluded from this research. Results indicate that 9 % of people on Facebook, 11% on Instagram, 40% on what’s app, 10% on YouTube, and 30% on Tiktok know how to deal with adrenal insufficiency in Pakistan during the COVID-19 period. We conclude that social networking plays an important role in demonstrating the need for education (sick-day laws, tight limits on social distance), the need for the availability of appropriate equipment (Steroid emergency card, COVID-19 guidelines) for the management of adrenal crises in Pakistan during pandemic days of COVID-19.

Purpose: Nursing demands very high degree of emotional composition and is also very sensitive to perception of politics. Therefore, nursing provides an interesting but unexamined site to study the mediating role of Perception of Politics between Emotional intelligence and different job outcomes (job satisfaction, turnover intention, negligent behavior, organizational citizenship behavior, task performance and absenteeism). Design/Methodology/Approach: To examine these relationships, data was collected from 313 nurses of private and public sector hospitals and health care units in Pakistan using questionnaire measuring each variable on five points Likert scale.

1st International Conference (Online) on Issues in Management and Social Sciences in the Context of COVID-19, August 22-23, 2020

Limitations: Despite significance of the study and its results, the study has certain limitations of its own. Firstly, the study’s design permitted collection of information on cross sectional basis instead of longitudinal basis that might have needed more time period and resources. Therefore, this study is unable to capture the feelings and emotions before, during and after the critical situations. Although, Harman single factor was used to detect common method variance, however, future studies should collect data in time lagged to avoid common method bias. Besides, data should be dyadic than self-reported. Originality/Value :There is dearth of related to nursing sector that analyzes the emotional intelligence and mediating role of intervening variables such as perception of politics and its effects on different outcomes—i.e., job satisfaction, negligent behavior, organizational citizenship behavior, task performance and absenteeism (Petrides & Furnham, 2006). Hence, development of an integrated comprehensive model including the determinants and outcomes not only carries significant practical implications but will also help us shape the future studies in nursing sector. Findings: The findings indicate that emotional intelligence is negatively related to perception of politics in the nursing sector. Results also indicate that perception of politics mediates between emotional intelligence and various job outcomes except turnover intention that was excluded from analysis owing to low reliability.

It has been less than a decade that “Employee engagement” has become an important aspect for the HR managers in Pakistan because the engaged employees strive to enhance the performance of the organization which in turn leads to customer satisfaction and other positive organizational outcomes. Employee engagement is closely determined by organizational justice, the perception of employees about the fairness of treatment. This study adopted a contagion theory model to analyze the extent to which an engaged employee can produce a positive organizational outcome in terms of customer satisfaction/ delight. Through a quantitative survey, it was found that employee’s perception is not the best measure of customer satisfaction, which has been used by multiple researchers, suggesting to use other methods of measuring customer satisfaction. This study not only uses the the qualitative "employee’s perception of customer satisfaction" but the quantitative average survey score of employees, collected from organization’s in-house feedback systems, to analyze the aforementioned relationship. Quantitative analysis carried out through smart PLS suggested that Organizational Justice, resulting in employee engagement, is an important aspect of organization to derive positive organizational outcomes (Customer satisfaction).

Design/ Methodology/ approach: By choice the study is quantitative, philosophy is positivism, and approach is deductive while cross sectional time horizon will be employed. Three established hypotheses will be tested which is based on theories of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) & Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). The population of this study is limited to only one University located at Nowshera as that University has recently transfigured their classical education system into online education system. Adopted questionnaire has sent to 917 students via LMS who have been registered with newly adopted LMS. 307 filled questionnaires were received positively. The data will be analyze via Partial least square (PLS) structure equation modeling technique to find out the direct and moderator effect of both exogenous and intervening variables. Based on literature, significant relationship between LMS and students’ academic performance is expected but in present situation where all of the students are suffering from the consequences of covid-19 and worried about the change of classical education system into on-line education system. Empirically insignificant relationship is expected due to which the proactive but not reactive behavior from each student is expected. Nexus to which, mediating role of individual proactive behavior is employed between LMS and students academics performance and expect positive and significant results. Limitation/Implications: Due to the pandemic and lockdown situation in education sector of Pakistan, the study is only focused and limited to one University located at district Nowshera where the LMS is recently established during the pandemic & guidelines of HEC.

Originality Value: This proposed framework will provide new insights into how proactive behavior play a mediating role between technology and performance. The novelty of this study is the use of individual proactive behavior in strengthen the relationship between LMS and academic performance which is infrequently done. There is need to study LMS and student academic performance in different organizational context especially in across-cultural. The study is relatively new as most of the Universities are offering classical education system instead of on-line and limited literature is obtainable in the context of KPK, Pakistan. However, it is important to mention that individual proactive behavior is indeed an important concept which pay more attention in veneration of theory contribution of TAM. As for concerning methodological contribution, Partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling will be employed to test the proposed hypotheses. Finally, findings will be given to the researchers to work more in the field of LMS and technology as online education is most effective tool in keeping student retain and maintain across the globe.

The purpose of the paper is to explore the ‘lived’ emotion experiences of the individuals who have encountered the terrorist attack in HEI’s Institute of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and to explore the emotion management strategies that these individuals use to manage their own emotions and that of others who also have experienced such terrorist attack. Thirteen semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted from a public-sector university. Data were analyzed through narrative analysis. The informants reported at the time of the incident, individuals were unable to think of anything else other than to help those in need. After the incident, due to lack of organizational support, individuals have to opt help from outside the organization such as taking help from the family and consulting a psychiatrist. Emotion coping strategies for others included orientation sessions, arranging psychiatric sessions, counseling, and creating a friendly environment in the classroom. Originality/value-This study contributes to the emotion management literature as it explores the emotional management strategies in a unique context of a terror incident by conceptualizing emotions as a situated relational experience that varies with the interpretation of the individuals.

Organizations in today's world work under variety of conditions and where organization's effectiveness depends on the environmental factors match fit. Within companies Leaders are meant to influence the actions of workers towards achieving corporate goals while Workplace environment is a rational reason for job satisfaction of employees and engagement of employees. The crowded labor market and fierce competition, complementing each other, have driven job seekers to achieve the highest credentials in order to ensure market entry and longevity. The consequence is that most job seekers have surplus expertise, skills and abilities (KSAs) and perceived that one has more expertise, skills and abilities than one's current job, while some countries where economies are in bad conditions and problems such as age welfare, high unemployment, lack of unemployment compensation leave people with no choice but to get jobs that are below their capacity to work. This state of getting more KSAs is generally considered troublesome as empirical evidence suggests that these workers are less committed and less fulfilled where they generally leave jobs earlier to get another good job therefore over-qualified individuals continue to be unwanted. This misfitness has been reported to have many negative results, such as adverse work attitudes disruptive deviance, voluntary turnover and real turnover. Therefore, this paradoxical situation raises the question of why, when and how over-qualified workers will be disruptive and/or productive to seek answers to the questions. According to these calls, this research takes into account workers ' attitudes towards the job (either entered as occupation or survival task) as moderator between perceived over qualification as an independent variable with deviant work actions and 104

Here I am trying to find out the reasons for the failure of these low cost housing schemes especially in provincial Housing Authority KP. The schemes are not as per expectations of the people so this article is to find out the reasons and to suggest how it can be improved and to check the negative and positive effect on customers.There are so many housing schemes in PHA in running condition and In past also but in start they donot clear the status in first stage between customer bank and PHA.they have to finalize the rules and follow it 100 percent and have to keep the installment which is easy and affordable for the customers.By name its low cost housing scheme but due to strict rules the customer bounces back and not affordable for the customer Then the output is that the customers happily do not apply and the successful customers are welling to reject the achieved plots. We have to facilitate customer. The main thing is to provide low cost housing to the poor people everything should be clear and step by step.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-HRM-162 HIGH-PERFORMANCE WORK SYSTEMS AND INNOVATIONS: MEDIATING ROLE OF HUMAN CAPITAL AND SOCIAL CAPITAL-A STUDY OF THE BANKING INDUSTRY OF PAKISTAN. DISCIPLINE: MANAGEMENT SCIENCES Fathullah, Dr. Haider Khalil, and Dr. Mohsin Ali, Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan Email: [email protected]

The current study investigates the link between HPWS (High Performance Work System) and innovations (i.e. radical and incremental) in organizations. HPWS is a set of management policies and practices that aims to enhance employees’ skill, motivation and discretion (Guthrie et al., 2009). The study proposes HPWS an antecedent to innovations. HPWS is theorized to be made up of six SHRM practices, which are: selection & staffing, training & development, incentives/compensation and benefits, performance management, empowerment and participation, job design. Scholars have been calling for understanding the mechanism, through which HPWS affect innovations in organizations, which is usually referred to as the ‘black box’ of HRM (Takeuchi et al., 2007; Messersmith et al., 2011; Kloutsiniotis and Mihail, 2018). This study responds to such calls from researchers by making an empirical enquiry to understand the ‘Black Box’ between HPWS and innovation via the mediating role of Human Capital & Social Capital of the firm. Current literature calls for the need to understand HR issues in the context of emerging markets (Budhwar & Debrah, 2009), thus, responding to these calls, the model of this study has been tested in the banking sector of Pakistan. The banking sector was selected due to its critical role in economic development. Data were collected from 520 top executives of the banks in different departments as well as from branch level managers in a questionnaire survey. This method helped the researcher to obtain views from respondents at different organizational levels. The Resource-Based-View (Barney, 1986), Social Exchange perspective (Blau, P. 1961), and AMO framework (Appelbaum et al., 2000) have been employed as theoretical underpinnings. The variables of the study have been theorized as Reflective-Formative higher-order constructs, therefore, as recommended by scholars( e.g, Ringle, Sarstedt, Mitchell, & Gudergan, 2018), PLS-SEM has been used. For data analysis, SmartPLS (v.3.2.9) was employed. This study can be useful for organizations by way of helping them get leverage on their Human and Social Capital for achieving enhanced organizational performance and innovation ability by introducing HPWS in their firms.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of Sexual Harassment on Women Psychological Wellbeing in healthcare sector of Pakistan’s province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Design/Methodology/Approach: The nature of current study is Quantitative. The population will be comprised of nurses currently working in hospitals. For sampling, the researcher will utilize stratified random sampling technique. For data collection, a pre-designed questionnaire will be used. The collected data will then be analyzed capitalizing on descriptive statistical technique and regression analysis for examining relationship among the selected constructs. Originality/Value: The current study will contribute both in terms of theoretical as well as contextual ways. Firstly, with regard to theoretical contribution, this study reflects on the important constructs like impact of Sexual Harassment on Women Psychological Wellbeing. This construct is hardly regressed together and a very limited literature is available in the context of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. However, it is pertinent to mention that in the every field of work women participation has increased and is considered an important part of the society. Women can have enormous societal contribution due to their potentials. Exposure of female to multifarious problems and unacceptable crimes like sexual abuse and harassment are preventing females to work up to their potential. Psychological problems linked to trauma (sexual harassment) are mostly gender-specific as women are more prone to mood disorders and Post traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after trauma when confronted with men. Secondly, with regard to the contextual contribution, this study targets health sector in the context of patriarchal culture like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as very few studies have been conducted on the mentioned context. Keywords: Sexual Harassment, Psychological Wellbeing.

If we look at the history, these people left no stone unturn in spreading of Islam in all corners of the Indian subcontinent .Rulers have changed their life style due to their teachings. Hazrat Mujaddid Alf Sani (Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi) will be remembered forever who stood in front of Mughal ruler, Akbar the great and put an end to his “Din-e-illahi”. It was the result of his strugles that Akbar’s son, Jahangir became his disciple (mureed). Sultan Iltutmish was a true and practical mureed of Bakhtiar kaki (RA). In the strengthening of Islam in India, Moinuddin cheshti also did a lot which will be written with golden words. Similarly, the Sofia of district Mardan remained in the top list .Through their spiritual meditations, they turned the common people to the ways of God. These Sofia contributed in different fields like preaching, writing and tazkia.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-IS-54 THE CONCEPT OF DEATH PENALTY IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF DIVINE RELIGIONS Dr. Nosheen Bibi, and Prof. Dr. Niaz Muhammad, Department of Islamic Studies, Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan Email: [email protected] The concept of Death Penalty in the Perspective of Divine Religion, Allah considers all creatures as His family and declares that the best man among His creatures is the one who does good to the creatures. On the contrary, a man who causes evil to the creatures will have punishment in this world with the punishment of the hereafter as well. The imposition of these punishments is not intended to harm the guilty person, but to protect other human beings from evil and crime.The purpose of enforcing the sentences is to achieve peace and prevent crime, which are among the basic needs of all human beings. That is why sharia has declared peace as its prime goal. In order to achieve peace in the world and to prevent crime, the religions of the world are threatening with the punishment of the hereafter as well as criminalizing the criminals in the world, according to the nature of the crime.The worldly punishment for crimes have been different in different periods. But the punishment for killing 117

The reason for this is the sanctity of human life, which is the same for all human beings. At present, this effort is being made on the international level to abolish the death penalty completely. Because it is against the basic human rights.The anti-death penalty movement has had great success in the last few years, and in most countries, this punishment has been abolished by law. Efforts have been made by national and international organizations to abolish the death penalty in the kingdom of God given Pakistan as well. As the abolition of this death penalty has taken on a global dimension, that is why this need was being felt to research and review the teachings of the major religions of the world about the death penalty. To present a research review that, whether the death penalty is a violation of unnatural and basic human rights or it is the protection of the fundamental rights of human beings. In view of this need, an attempt has been made to combine the dictrines of death penalty from the holy books of the divine religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) in a research paper under discussion. This research paper consists of four components/ parts. The first part is the brief history of the death penalty. In the second part, the current situation of death penalty has been reviewed.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-IS-62 THE COVID-19 AND THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES: AN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE Dr. Sulaiman Rifai, Free Lance Academic, United Kingdom Email: [email protected] The covid-19 has created a chaos in the world and in fact, it has brought the world into a standstill. The economic, political, and psychological impact of the covid-19 is yet to be fully assessed and evaluated by experts and academics. So many conspiracy theories are coming out about the coronavirus pandemics. Some people think this virus is artificially created by some geopolitical powers, and some others think it is created by Bill Gate to reduce the population growth in the world. Some others think that this virus is created with the introduction of G5 technology. Some Muslim scholars have argued that the western capitalistic countries have been exploiting and misusing the world’s natural resources. As result of this exploitation the ecosystem of the world has dramatically changed. So, they argue that this could be one of the reasons why to see a sudden outbreak of the pandemics in the world. How far these contentions are convincing to accept or reject. This paper examines these contentions objectively from an Islamic perspective. I will substantiate my arguments with scientific and logical evidence. I will look at the Covid-19 pandemic and its conspiracy theories from ethical

مدارس کی اہمیت وضرورت اور مسلم معاشرے پر ان کے احسا ِن عظیم کا تذکرہ کرتے ہوئے عالمہ سید کہتے ہیں کہ ہم کو یہ صاف کہنا ہے کہ عربی مدارسکی جتنی ضرورت آج ہے، کل جب سلیمان ندوی

ہندوستان کی دوسری شکل ہوگی اس سے بڑھ کر ہوگی، یہ ہندوستان میں اسالم کی بنیاد اور مرکز ہوں گے، لوگ آج کی طرح کل بھی عہدوں اور مالزمتوں کے پھیر اور اربا ِب اقتدار کی چاپلوسی میں لگے ہوں گے اور یہی دیوانے آج کی طرح کل بھی ہوشیار رہیں گے۔اس لیے یہ مدارس جہاں بھی ہوں، جیسے بھی ہوں، ان کا سنبھالنا، اور چالنا مسلمانوں کا سب سے بڑا فریضہ ہے۔اگر ان عربی مدارس کا کوئی دوسراہ فائدہ نہیں تو یہی کیا کم ہے کہ یہ غریب طبقوں میں مفت تعلیم کا ذریعہ ہیناور ان سے فائدہ اٹھا کر ہمارا غریب طبقہ کچھ اور اونچا ہوتا ہے اور اس کی اگلی نسل کچھ اور اونچی ہوتی ہے یہی سلسلہ جاری رہتا ہے غور کی نظر اس نکتہ کو پوری طرح کھول دے گی ۔برصغیر میں علم کے مراکز سے جوڑے ہوئے چھوٹے بڑے مدارس کی تعداد کم نہیں ہے جو دن رات دین کی خدمت سرانجام دینے میں مصروف عمل ہیں۔ ان مدارس کی دینی خدمات کو منظر عام پر اور حکومتی سطح پر ان کی خدمات کو ریکارڈ پر النا ایک علمی کوشش کے طور پر پیش کرنا نہایت ضروری ہے تاکہ عوام کے ذہنوں میں بٹھائے گئے انتہاپسندی کے تصور کو مٹایا جاسکے۔ ان مدارس کے مختلف شعبات کا تعارف اور ان کے خدمات کو لوگوں تک پہنچایا جاسکے تاکہ ان کی ذہنیت مدارس دینیہ کے بارے میں شبہات سے پاک ہوجائے۔ضلع صوابی بھی علمی خدمات کے حوالے سے ایک زرخیر عالقہ ہے ۔ مشہور مدارس کا قائم اس سوچ کی عکاسی کرتی ہے کہ اس کے باشندے علمی ذوق رکھنے میں دوسرے عالقوں سے کم نہیں ہے۔ دارالقرآن پنچ پیر اور دارالقرآن شاہ منصور دو بڑے مراکز کا وجود بھی اسی عالقہ میں ہے۔ہر گاؤں میں مختلف سطح پر درس قرآن کا اہتمام کیا جاتا ہے۔ اس طرح اس عالقہ میں مدارس کی تعداد بھی کافی ہے۔مدارس کے اس سلسلونمیں مدرسہ عائشہ صدیقہ اور مدرسہ رحمانیہ کا کردار بھی قابل تعریف ہے۔ یہ دو مدارس ایک عمارت میں ایک ایڈمنسٹریشن کے تحت چلنے والے دو مختلف مدارس ہیں ۔ ان دونوں اداروں کا تعارف اور خدمات منظر عام پر النا ضروری ہے

تاکہ لوگ ان کے خدمات سے آگاہی حاصل کرسکے۔اس صورتحال کے پیش نظر مدرسہ عائشہ صدیقہ للبنات اور مدرسہ رحمانیہ للبنین کے تعارف اور خدمات پر مقالہ لکھنے کی ضرورت محسوس کی گئی۔ امید واثق

ہے کہ یہ مقالہ معاشرے میں دینی مدارس کی خدمات کو اجاگرکرنے میں نتیجہ خیز ثابت ہو.

آج کے دور کا ایک بڑا مسئلہ سماج کے یتیم بچوں کی کفالت ہے۔کیونکہ یتیموں کا مسئلہ صرف پیٹ بھرکھانا نہیں؛ بلکہ ان کی مکمل نگہداشت، تعلیم وتربیت اور معاشرے کا ایک مفید شہری بنانا بھی کفالت کے زمرے میں آتا ہے۔یتیم وہ نابالغ بچہ ہوتا ہے جس کا باپ مر گیا ہو یا جن کے ماں باپ دونوں وفات پا گئے ہو ۔اسالم ایک مکمل نظام حیات ہے۔ اس میں ہر ایک کے حقوق کا خیال رکھا گیا ہے۔ اللہ پاک نے کسی کو بے یار ومددگار نہیں چھوڑا۔ ہر ایک کے لیے ایسے اسباب وذرائع مہیا کردیے ہیں کہ وہ آسانی کے ساتھ اللہ کی زمین پر رہ کر اپنی زندگی کے ایام گزار سکے۔ یتیم ونادار اور الوارث بچوں کے بھی معاشرتی حقوق ہیں۔قرآن مجید میں یتیم کی جسمانی پرورش اور اس کے اموال وامالک کی حفاظت کو تاکید کے ساتھ ذکر کیا گیا ہے اور ان میں کسی قسم کی کوتاہی برتنے پر وعید سنائی گئی ہے ۔قرآن مجید میں ارشاد ہے: ٰٓ َو ٰاتُوا ا ْلیَــ ٰت ٰٰٓمى اَ ْم َوا َل ُھ ْم َو َال تَتَبَ َّدلُوا ا ْل َخبِ ْی َث بِال َّطی ِ ِب ۠ َو َال تَاْ ُكلُ ْٰٓوا اَ ْم َوا َل ُھ ْم ِاٰل ى اَ ْم َوا ِل ُك ْم ۭ ِا َّن ٗه َكا َن ُح ْوبًا َكبِ ْی ًرا ۔ترجمہ:یتیموں کے مال ان کے حوالے کردو اپنے برے مال کو ان کے اچھے مال سے نہ بدلو اور نہ انکے مال کو اپنے مال کے ساتھ مالکر کھا جاؤ۔ بیشک یہ بہت بڑا گناہ ہے۔اسی طرح حدیث میں ہے : َوأَنَا َو َکافِ ُل ا ْلیَتِی ِم فِي ا ْل َج َّن ِة َھ َکذَا َوأَ َشا َر بِال َّسبَّابَ ِة َوا ْل ُو ْس َطی َو َف َّر َج بَ ْی َن ُھ َما َش ْیئًا -ترجمہ : میں اور یتیم کی پرورش کرنے واال دونوں جنت میں اس طرح ہوں گے اور شہادت اور درمیان والی انگلی سے اشارہ فرمایا اور ان کے درمیان ذرا کشادگی رکھی۔ ضلع مردان بڑا مردم خیز عالقہ ہے اور یہاں سرکاری سطح کے ساتھ ساتھ نجی سطح پر بھی یتیموں کی کفالت کا فریضہ ادا کیا جاتا ہے۔ ضلع مردان میں تین یتیم خانے موجود ہیں جن میں دو یتیم خانے ) سرحدی یتیم خانہ، االصالح سنٹر(نجی سیکٹر چال رہے ہیں جبکہ ایک یتیم خانہ ) پاکستان سویٹ ہوم( سرکاری خرچے سے چل رہا ہے۔ ۔زیر نظر تحقیق میں یہ مطلوب ہے کہ ان یتیم خانوں کا یتیموں کی بحالی میں کس قدر کردار ہے اور بہتری کے لئے کیا تجاویز پیش کی جاسکتی ہیں۔

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-IS-81 امام محمدالشیبان ؒی کی منتخب کتب میں علوم حدیث کے قواعد کا علمی جائزہ Asad Ullah, Dr. Muhammad Tahir, Dr. Abzahir Khan, Department of Islamic Studies, Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan Email: [email protected]

"Uloom-e-hadith", holds a great place In Islamic Studies and Islamic epistemology, and different scholars have served in the field of "Uloom-e-hadith". Hundreds of books have been written on different perspectives of the "Uloom-e-hadith", but there is still a lot of scope to be researched in this field. One of the major remarkable scholars in the field of compilation of "Uloom e Hadith" is Imam Muhammad bin Hasan Shaibani (189 A.H.). Imam Muhammad has contributed a valuable repository of books on the elementary fields of Islamic studies. Many books of Imam's writings have also been published. In one of his most famous book "Mabsoot", which is also known as "Al-Asal", the number of hadiths cited is sixteen hundred and thirty-two (1632). And "Uloom-e-Hadith" plays a main role in his research work. In another book of Imam Muhammad; “Al-Hujja Ala Ahle Madinah” there is a rational discussion of the Hanafia and Malikia schools of thoughts. In another book “al-Asaar”, he mentions the hadiths cited by Imam Abu Hanifa and other scholars. And in his famous book "Muatta Imam Muhammad", he collected the hadiths quoted from Imam Malik. But his significant contribution on “Uloom-e-hadith”, is scattered in his books but had never been compiled or researched which is essential to be compiled according to modern research formats. In the proposed thesis, the above-mentioned books of Imam Muhammad will be studied and the content of “Uloom-e-hadith” will be compiled and researched, along with the explanations of Imam Muhammad's commentary and the terminologies of other scholars will be comparatively explained.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-IS-158 غنیۃ القاری شرح صحیح البخاری کی روشنی میں بدعت اور مصلحت مرسلہ کا فرق Atiq Ullah, and Dr. Muhammad Naeem, Department of Islamic Studies, Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan Email: [email protected]

بدعت وہ عمل ہے جس کی کوئی اصل، مثال یا دلیل دین میں نہ ہو اور کسی بھی جہت سے تعلیما ِت دین سے ثابت نہ ہو۔ بدعی امور سے مراد ایسے نئے کام کا ایجاد کرنا ہے جس کی شریعت میں کوئی اصل موجود نہ ہو۔ بدعت کی شریعت میں کوئی گنجائش نہیں۔ اس کے برعکس مصلحت مرسلہ وہ چیز ہے جو خیر الئے اور ضرر کو دور کرے اور شریعت میں اس کے ثبوت یا نفی کی کوئی دلیل نہ ہو، تو جس چیز سے مسلمان کو خیر پہنچے اور شر دور ہو، مسلمان کے لیے اس کا استعمال جائز ہے، بشرطیکہ شریعت نے اس کو کسی ظاہری یا پوشیدہ فساد کی وجہ سے لغو اور باطل قرار نہ دیا ہو۔ مصالح مرسلہ ضروریات ، حاجات اور تحسینات میں جائز ہیں۔مصالح مرسلہ بالذات مقصود و مطلوب نہیں ہوتیں بلکہ کسی واجب کی حفاظت یا اس کی ادائیگی کے وسلیہ کے طور پر مطلوب ہوتی ہیں یا پھر کسی مفسدہ کو دفع کرنے کے لیے ان کا ارادہ کیا جاتا ہے۔ شریعت میں مصالح مرسلہ کی اجازت ہے۔ اس کے مقابلے میں بدعت ایک قسم کی شریعت سازی ہے، جو شریعت الہی کے مشابہہ ہے اور وہ بالذات مقصود ہوتی ہے اور وہ جلب منفعت یا دفع مضرت کے لیے وسیلہ نہیں ہوتی اور وہ تشریع جو بالذات ہو وہ صرف اللہ تعال ٰی کا حق ہے، کیونکہ اللہ تعال ٰی کے سوا کوئی بھی ایسی عبادت وضع کرنے پر قادر نہیں ہے جو انسانی نفس میں تطہیر وتزکیہ کا عمل کر سکے۔ اس آٰرٹیکل میں بدعت اور مصلحت مرسلہ کا فرق مثالوں کے ذریعے واضح کیا گیا ہے۔

جمہور اہل لغت وبالغت کہتے ہیں نظیر ومشابہت لفظ مثل کا ا صلی معن ٰی ہے۔ مثال ومثل کے لغوی معنی ’’مانند،نمونہ،نظیر،تشبیہ ‘‘وغیرہ ہیں ۔ ابن منظور افریقی لکھتے ہیں: َض ْر ُب ا ْالَ ْمثَال اِ ْعتِبَا ُر ال َّش ْی ِئ بِ َغ ْی ِر ہ یعنی کسی شے کو اس کے غیر کے ساتھ جانچنے وپرکھنے کو مثال دینا کہتے ہیں ۔اگر چہ بعض نےاس میں اختالف کیا ہے۔ احمد بن فارس فرماتے ہیں میم ،ثا اور ل اصل مادہ ہے اور اس کا مطلب ہے" مناظرۃ الشیء للشیء " کسی چیز کا دوسرے چیزکی طرح ہونا ،مثل اور مثال کا ایک معنی ہے۔جوہری "ھذا مثلہ ومثلہ" یا دوچیزوں کی صفات ایک جیسی ہو اس کو مثال کہتے ہیں اسی طرح ابن درید ، زمخشری اور فراء فرماتے ہیں "ا َلمثل ھو التشبیہ" امثال کی اہمیت کا اندازہ اس بات سے لگایا جاسکتاہے کہ اللہ تعال ٰی نے قرآن کریم میں مختلف امور کومثالوں کی ذریعہ سمجھایاہے، چنانچہ اللہ تعال ٰی کا ارشاد ہے:" َمثَلُ ُھ ْم َك َمثَ ِل ا َّل ِذي ا ْستَ ْو َقد َ نَارا " ایک اورجگہ پرارشاد فرمایا:" َو َمثَ ُل ا َّل ِذی َن َك َف ُروا ْ َك َمثَ ِل ا َّل ِذي یَ ْن ِع ُق بِ َم ا ال َ یَ ْس َم ُع "۔اسی طرح نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے صحابہ کرام کومثالوں کی ذریعہ سمجھانے کی کوشش کی ہے۔دنیا کے ہرزبان میں بھی امثال پائے جاتےہیں، لہذا امثال کی اہمیت وافادیت اوراس کےمختلف اقسام پرزیر نظر مضمون میں تحقیقی انداز میں بحث کیاجائے گا۔

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-IR-181 LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC SYSTEMS AND THE RISE OF POPULISM: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS Halima Azhar, and Dr. Muhammad Nadeem Mirza, School of Politics and International Relations, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad Email: [email protected]

Political systems have never been static and continued to transform through most of the human history. Twenty-first century is specifically important in the sense that several stable political systems are facing challenges – the biggest being ‘rise of populism’ and that too in liberal democracies. End of twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have seen the rise of liberal democracies. But this trend, since, has seen a downfall. Statistics suggest that some of the major liberal democracies like the USA are less democratic today than they once were. Instead of more and more democracy, liberal democracies are experiencing democratic backsliding. This is occurring in the USA, India, Pakistan, in several of European states, and in other parts of the world. As the process of democratic backsliding has catalyzed, so has the rise of populism. In past few years quality of democracy in several states have gone down. One observes that autocratic regimes, or monarchies which exist in the world are not affected by populism as much liberal democracies are. Rise of populism has questioned the credibility of liberal democracies. This time challenge is not foreign, like communism or fascism, it is from within and it has highlighted the loopholes and vulnerabilities of liberal democracies.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-IR-183 ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AND CARBON EMISSIONS: RENEWABLE ENERGY AND CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM Rida Asad, M.Phil Scholar; and Dr. Muhammad Nadeem Mirza, School of Politics and International Relations, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad Email: [email protected]

Climate is a shared heritage and climate change a global concern. Roots of climate change and global warming can be traced to the world’s economic success after industrialization. This resulted in large emissions of carbon by the consumption of fossil fuels – oil gas, coal - at a great level to run industries. Enhanced industrial production resulted into tremendous global economic growth. But at the same time it also resulted into rise of atmospheric temperature, damaging natural environment by producing tremendous amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, along with solid waste. Last year the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 137

Change (IPCC) has published a report to alarm the world about warming of the earth. This report urges world leaders to get proactive towards the critical situation with respect to threat of climate change and sustainable development. It is necessary as the world temperature is likely to rise by 1.5°C between 2030 and 2050. This rise would have alarming impacts as melting of world glaciers would increase resulting into water level rise, thus threatening life on earth. The Kyoto Protocol explained the Clean Development Mechanism which foresees the carbon emission reduction by providing a strategy of emission trading. This project is considered as vital for environmental investments. Through this, the developed states will invest in the emission reductions cheaply at global level. But the clean develop mechanism solely is unable to achieve the parameters that can positively impact environment in restraining the temperature and preventing it to rise further. Usage of renewable energy can play fundamental role, here. Developed states while looking forward to different clean development projects help developing states build their industry, to be run on the renewable energy resources. Meanwhile the developed states also shift their industry from non-renewable to renewable industry. In this way the world can be prevented from further global warming without hurting the world economy. Developing states have an equal responsibility of developing industries, to be run on renewable energy resources, instead of burning fossil fuels, and preventing the further deterioration and straining of nature. If the same idea may apply on the states via collective measures where the poor transition to rich happens with the industry shift, then the climate can be preserved. This study addressed the questions such as: How clean develop mechanism works for the sustainable development? How the renewable energy principle is unique in development possibilities? Why the sustainable development and clean environment is significant to go simultaneously? Why the world needs to utilize renewable energy for sustainable clean development? The study hypothesizes that promoting renewable energy can lead to achieve sustainable clean development across the globe.

Earlier researchers have successfully conceptualized the students based brand equity model in higher education institutions by integrating various marketing models and theories such as sources of brand equity, brand relationship model and students expectation disconfirmation. However, these researchers are also of the view that there are many other factors influencing students’ experiences in their respective higher education institutions and so it is recommended to further extend the students based brand equity model. The objective of this study is to examine the moderating role of students’ satisfaction and retention model (SSRM) comprising of numbers of factors including faculty, advisory staff and class environment that significantly influence students’ experiences in their respective higher education institutions and hence students based brand equity. Students’ experience is related to the satisfaction of student in the institution such that if the students’ experience is positive, then they are satisfied with the institution and vise verse. Using extant literature of marketing and branding, this study extends the existing students based brand equity model by conceptualizing a significant moderating effect of students’ satisfaction and retention model on the SBBE model and proposes testable hypotheses for future research. The study presents valuable information to senior management of higher education on how to develop positive students based brand equity as well as extend the current model of SBBE by augmenting the current model of SBBE with students satisfaction and retention model.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-OM-109 INSTITUTIONAL INTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE ASSESSMENT PRACTICES AND STUDENT SATISFACTION Samina Andleeb, MS Scholar, UniversitiTeknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru. Malaysia. Email: [email protected]

Pakistan has passed through a crucial phase and developed integrated quality into higher education. But still being a developing country, Higher Education Institutions are facing challenges in Internal Quality Assurance practices. For this reason, Quality Enhancement Cells are established in the HEIs of Pakistan under the supervision of the Higher Education Commission and Quality Assurance Agency of Pakistan to implement and monitor the internal quality assurance process. In the past there is very little research has been conducted on institutional quality assurance assessment practices on the basis of Self- Assessment Report (SAR) standards and student satisfaction from the top managers and students representative perspective of Pakistan. Previous studies are based on some of SAR standards, SAR implementation barriers, and some are on program assessment from student and faculty perspectives. The purpose of this current study is to fill the gap through the following objectives.1) To identify the level of institutional quality assessment practices based on Self-Assessment Report criteria. 2) To identify the level of student satisfaction based on the Self-Assessment Report criteria.3) To identify the relationship between Self-Assessment report criteria and student satisfaction. This study is quantitative and data will be collected through questionnaires from the 135 universities of Pakistan where the self-assessment report process is in practice. The findings and suggestions of this study will be the benefit to higher education institutions towards improving internal quality assurance assessment practices for the future.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-OB-067 ASSOCIATION OF ABUSIVE SUPERVISION WITH CREATIVITY AND WORK ENGAGEMENT: THE MODERATING ROLE OF TRUST IN SUPERVISOR Abid Ahmad*&Shiraz Khan** *PhD Scholar, Islamia College Peshawar, Pakistan **CECOS University Peshawar Email: [email protected]

Abusive supervisory behavior is considered to be dark side of leadership that in a Higher Education Institute (HEI) can yield variety of outcomes for the employees. This research study aimed to examined the association of abusive supervisory behavior as independent variable and employees’ creativity and work engagement as dependent variables and explored the moderating effect of employees ‘trust in supervisor’ in these associations in higher education settings. Data was collected in two waves from 221 employees of private sector higher education institutes at Peshawar, Pakistan, working in administrative cadre through multistage random sampling procedure. Hierarchical least squares regression analysis, was used to test the hypothesized model, using SPSS-25. Findings revealed that abusive supervisory behavior is negatively related to HEI’s employees’ work engagement and creativity and trust in supervisor was found to be positively moderating these relationships. This implies that abusive supervision reduces work engagement and creativity of HEI’s employees, however this negative effect can be lowered/controlled by instilling trust in supervisor. Consequently, HEIs managers need to encourage and reward supervisors to promote trusting relationships with employees to reduce negative consequences of abusive supervisory behavior.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-POL-008 THE ADOPTION OF E-VOTING SYSTEM IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT OF SRI LANKA: DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMM. Suhaib Razith* & MM. Fouzul Nihara** *Research Scholar Unit of ICT, SwamyVipulananda Institute of Aesthetic Studies, **Research Scholar Eastern University of Sri Lanka Email: [email protected]

The last decade, most of the countries such India, Canada, France and Switzerland as the world over provide for an electronic voting system where citizens elect their representatives for the major government bodies in a democratic manner. Recent studies argue that traditional voting systems in Sri Lanka do not encourage increased voter participation due to constraints in time, location, accuracy, and, accessibility. To ensure the rights of a democratic society and to enhance and secure the voting rights of citizens of Sri Lanka by eliminating all the limitations of the traditional voting system, we propose to develop a web- based electronic voting system. The aim of this paper is to analyze the current traditional paper-based election system and suggest an e-Voting System (EVS) is an attractive and secure solution to done the election during this Covid-19 pandemic. This study is based on local government bodies of the Eastern part of Sri Lanka such as Urban council (UC) and Municipal Council (MC). A structured questionnaire was designed, pre-tested, modified, and used to capture data on a cross-section of EVS adoption in UC and MC. Findings of this study concluded that internal environmental factors such as Information Technology (IT) skills of the citizen, integration and EVS experience of the staff have a positive effect on the level of adoption of EVS. This study can address the safety needs for cast votes in this virus situation through the electronic system over the web, together with safety, privacy and universal verifications. Our findings emphasize the fact that there is a tension between verifiable elections and usability. The voters have trust in the privacy and accuracy of such e-voting systems if more guidance to utilize the means of verification is included, and a trusted third party verifies the system security. The advantages of electronic voting outweigh the risks.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-POL-047 WOMEN POLITICAL ACTIVISM AND PUBLIC SPACES IN PASHTUN SOCIETY IN PAKISTAN Salma Rahim, National Institute of Pakistan Studies, Quaid e Azam University Email: [email protected]

This research paper provides insight into how Pashtun women, despite limited access to public spaces, manage to participate in various political activities, and how their participation contributes to increasing public and political spaces for them. In my research paper public spaces in Pashtun society means spaces outside their homes like markets, community centers, educational institutes and workplaces. The difference among men and women’s participation in politics in Pashtun areas in Pakistan is mainly due to societal hurdles like Purdah(veil), fewer public spaces, illiteracy, and religious and cultural norms. According to those women I interviewed, it is not considered honorable in Pashtun culture for women to go out in public spaces for different purposes. One of the main reason’s women participate less in political activities is because they do not have access to spaces in public, due to which they have less participation in politics, economy and social structure. In my research paper, by political activism I mean participation in voting, organizing political events, attending meetings, campaigning for any political ideology and contesting for any political office. The primary source of information in this research paper is interviews I conducted from local women of Swabi, a district in KPK. To reach those women I used snowball and convenience sampling. I contacted Gulalai Ismail a women's right activist from Swabi as she conducted training courses in leadership skills in Swabi, she encountered many locally active women in politics, and she facilitated my interaction with those women. If women do not have easy access to public spaces, it restrained their access to economy and capital which is compulsory for political activism. I am looking at the political struggle of women of the lower and middle class from Pashtun society to find out how they participate in political activities despite of less or no public spaces and how their participation in political activities is making space for them in decision making and power structure at family and societal level. This paper will throw light on the hurdles faced by politically active women of Swabi and how they create their space in the public in Pashtun society.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-SOC-141 WHO’S IN CHARGE? THE ROLE AND RESISTANCE OF RELIGIOUS PSYCHOLOGY IN COPING COVID-19 PANDEMICIN PAKISTAN Tasmia Jahangir*, Dr. Muhammad Bilal**, Dr. ShafiaAzam*** Department of Anthropology, Fatima Jinnah Women University, Rawalpindi Email: [email protected]

The outbreak of coronavirus has been managed across the Muslim world by governments taking strict preventive measures to restrict its growth. Amid the situation of coronavirus, the biggest religious centres such as Majid-ul-Haram and Majid-Nabwi were closed and mass religious gatherings including congressional prayers and religious processions were banned. However, Pakistan represents a unique case as the implementation of strict measures for social distancing faced a backlash in the name of religious and religiosity. One of the prominent anecdotes was the state’s decision to restrict the access to mosques, which attracted the outrage from the hard-line clerics and their followers. Similarly, banning of 152

1st International Conference (Online) on Issues in Management and Social Sciences in the Context of COVID-19, August 22-23, 2020 religious rallies also faced strong confrontation. Nationwide, the incidents of violence against police officers who tried to enforce lockdown on mosques have been reported. In this backdrop, this study explores how religious psychology of masses is a challenge for the state to implement its policies at the time of national crisis? This ethnographic research was conducted in Rawalpindi city employing participant observation as main methods for data collection which were further triangulated by using other methods such as focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews. The participants include religious clerics, university and college faculty members, students of madrassahs, colleges and universities (both males and female) along with the general residents of the area belonging to diverse socio- economic and educational backgrounds. The findings suggest that those who oppose the closure of religious institutions and other precautions during the religious rituals do not approve of the scientific explanations rather consider such practices a conspiracy against Islam and Islamic identity.

1st International Conference (Online) on Issues in Management and Social Sciences in the Context of COVID-19, August 22-23, 2020 research instruments. The study findings revealed that human lives are severely affected by Covid-19 pandemic. The routine life cycle was badly affected and people were confined to their houses. Like other parts of the world, different sectors like education, health, agriculture, financial markets & business, and industries especially hospitality, tourism, travel etc. desperately affected. Resultantly, it drastically raised the socio-cultural and economic (especially unemployment) unrest situation in the region. Apart from these consequences, due to the Pandemic scenario, various socio-cultural rituals, events, and activities were at a halt due to the imposition of social distancing measures. This research could be utilized for future research studies on the same issue. Besides, the study has immense significance as such studies have not yet conducted in the region with such a distinct perspective that covers almost every aspect of the impacts of Covid-19 while using the qualitative research approach.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-PSYC-089 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND SELF-EFFICACY AMONG MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS Arisha Wassim, Aqsa Rashid and Sadaf Zeb, Professional Psychology Department, Bahria University Islamabad Email: [email protected]

The medical professionals are facing multiple challenges including long and inflexible work hours and workload overburdening can lead to emotional fatigue. This emotional exhaustion, in return, affects their levels of self-efficacy, i.e. the belief in their abilities to achieve the goal set by the organization is weakened. These conflicts in work-life caused by high work demands and leading to emotional exhaustion can create a state of distress among the medical professionals. The present study was aimed to explore the relationship between work-family conflict, emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy among medical professionals. The sample of the study consisted of 140 medical professionals working in private, government, and semi-government hospitals of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Data was collected via online surveys through a purposive sampling technique. The scales used for this purpose were Work and Family Conflict Scale (Netemeyer, Boles & McMurrian, 1996), Emotional Intelligence Scale (Wong & Law, 2002), and Self-Efficacy Scale (Jerusalem & Schwarzer, 1981). It was hypothesized that there is a significant relationship between work-family conflict, self- efficacy, and emotional intelligence among medical practitioners. As the data of the present study were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic situation which affects the results. During COVID-19, the medical professionals have been under psychological pressure including insufficient equipment for safety from contagion, high risk of infection, isolation, demands from the family, exhaustion, frequent news on media, and lack of contact with the family. All these factors play a role which leads towards more family to work conflicts and low self-efficacy. The results of the study also revealed that those having more family to work conflict were having less emotional intelligence and self- efficacy. Furthermore, findings revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence with self-efficacy. The findings of this study contributed to highlighting the importance of emotional intelligence and self-efficacy in managing stress both, at work and home among medical practitioners. The findings also suggest that it is significant for medical professionals to have high emotional intelligence and self-efficacy levels to muddle through the work-family conflict more healthily and finely. Awareness seminars could be arranged in the future related to emotional intelligence and its importance to promote the psychological well being of medical professionals.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-PSYC-121 EFFECT OF SMARTPHONE USAGE ON ATTENTIONAL AWARENESS AND AGGRESSION AMONG CAR DRIVERS Amna Asim, Iqra Fayyaz, RamshaKhizar, and Faiza Nisar, Department of Professional Psychology, Bahria University Islamabad Campus Email: [email protected] This study aims to explore the effect of Smartphone usage on Attention and Aggression among drivers. For this, Problematic Mobile Phone Usage Questionnaire (PMPUQ-SV) (Billieux & Other, 2018), Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) (Brown & Ryan, 2003) and Aggression Questionnaire and with its subscale (Bryant & Smith, 2001) females (n=94) and Males (n=157) within twin cities of Pakistan i.e. Islamabad and Rawalpindi within the age range of 18 and above (M=22, S.D=2.54). The data was collected through online survey during COVID’19 Pandemic. In order to establish the relationship between variables, Bivariate Correlation analysis, Independent t test, Regression and ANOVA have been applied on the data. It was observed that the Aggressive behavior while driving during COVID’19 was increased whereas the Attention span was observed to be decreased during driving in the same condition. The results show a significant negative correlation of problematic Smartphone usage with Attention awareness and significant positive correlation with Aggression (p=0.05). However, results also depict that male individuals have a high level of dangerous use of Smartphone (p=0.05) and a high level of physical aggression (p=0.05). Another demonstration is the significant impact of prohibited subscale of problematic Smartphone use and dangerous subscale of problematic Smartphone use on aggression (R2= 0.06, p=0.000). Moreover, the difference in the variable of employment on Smartphone use and aggression states that Problematic Smartphone usage is significantly higher among part time employees (p=0.04) along with prohibited use. The major limitation of the study has been the lack of prior work in the field of Traffic Psychology with reference to human emotions and cognitions. This research might prove to serve as a building block in the field of Traffic Psychology in Pakistan. The findings of this study can also be useful for Islamabad Traffic Police – ITP and the traffic rules and regulations regarding the use of smartphone while driving can be revised. The study can further be conducted by using various interventions like mindfulness techniques and the effect can be observed among drivers who use smartphones while driving.

The present study attempted to examine the predictive role of Work family enrichment and ambivalent sexiest attitudes in career success. It was also intended to determine the moderating role of ambivalent sexism (benevolent and hostile sexism) in predicting career success. The sample (N = 300) comprised of employees of diverse organizations including men (150) and women (150) with age range 25-48 yrs (M = 33.61, SD = 2.30). Measures of Work Family Enrichment Scale (Carlson et al., 2006), Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (Glick & Fisk, 1996), and Career Satisfaction Scale (Greenhaus et al., 1990) were used to assess study constructs. Results showed that work family enrichment was positively associated with benevolent sexism and career success and negatively linked with hostile sexism, while hostile sexism is negatively linked with career success. In addition, results also showed that benevolent sexism was positively associated with career success. In addition, benevolent sexism (component of ambivalent sexism) positively moderates the relationship between work family enrichment and career success. Conversely, hostile sexism negatively moderates the relationship between work family enrichment and career success. Group differences revealed that men reported more work family enrichment; highly endorse hostile sexism at workplace, and more career success. On the other hand, women exhibited less work family enrichment and strongly endorse benevolent sexism at work place. Findings based on multivariate analysis along various demographics indicated that nature of job, type of organization, and marital status had significant relationship with study variables. Future implications and suggestions were also discussed.

Keywords: Work family enrichment, ambivalent sexism, benevolent & hostile sexism, career success, employees.

ABSTRACT NO. CEMS-01-PSYC-140 WORK RELATED OUTCOMES OF PERCEIVED AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP AMONG EMPLOYEES OF SOFTWARE HOUSES AND BANKS Aisha Zubair, and Anial Kamal, National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. Email. [email protected]

The present study attempted to investigate the work related outcomes of perceived authentic leadership among employees of software houses and banks. The sample (N = 1180) included both men (775) and women (405) with age range 25 - 48 yrs (M = 35.75, SD = 4.73). Measures of Authentic Leadership Scale (Walumbwa et al., 2010, Psychological Capital Questionnaire (Luthans, Youssef, & Avolio, 2007), Work Related Flow Scale (Bakker, 2008), and Creativity Scale (Zhou, George, 2001) were used to assess study constructs. Results showed that perceived authentic leadership positively predicted psychological capital, work related flow and creative work behavior. Findings further showed the mediated effect of psychological capital and work related flow in predicting creative work behavior in the context of tall (banks) and flat (SWH) organizational structures. Results also indicated that male employees with extended job experience were more inclined to reflect psychological capital and work related flow in order to express higher creativity at workplace. However, this model offer partial explanation for the female employees; as mediating role was identified only on psychological capital. Future implications and suggestions were also discussed.

Keywords: Perceived authentic leadership, psychological capital, work related flow, creativity, employees

COVID-19 has induced fear and anxiety among the people around the world. This virus has affected the worldwide economy and also brought new economic, financial, environmental and social challenges for us. The purpose of this study is to examine the subjective opinions of Pakistani people regarding causes, effects and challenges of Covid-19. The Q-methodology research technique is employed to structure an opinion typology from their rank-ordered statements. The rank-ordered sorts are subjected to correlation and by- person factor analysis to obtain groupings of participants who sorted the opinion statements into similar arrangements. We analyzed 43 Q-statements from 51 respondents who were environmentalists, health specialist, economist, financial experts, sociologists, religious scholars, scientist, and researchers. The statements’ scores were analyzed by averaging analysis and factor analysis (Q-methodology). With the use of a PC-QUANL software package, 4 types of perceptions about Covid-19 were identified. They are the financial, economic, environmental and religious. Results of this study indicate that Q-methodology can allow for the simultaneous study of objective and subjective issues to determine an individual’s opinion.

This study aims to figure out the influence of user-generated content (UGC), Information Quality (IQ) and Tourist’s Motivation (TM) on destination image through social media in the pre-trip period of tourism in Pakistan. Empirical analysis was conducted by using survey method through online Google forms. Data was collected from social media (Facebook) users who were the members of the Facebook tourism groups in Pakistan. The findings of the study revealed that UGC does not significantly affect the destination image in the pre-purchase period. Whereas, information quality and tourist’s motivation significantly affect the destination image of Pakistani tourists. The research concludes that tourist’s motivation before experiencing tourism and the information they are exposed to plays a significant role in developing destination image in the tourism market. Furthermore, this research will contribute to the knowledge of literature by revealing that in context of Pakistan, UGC not influences the destination image. The study will also contribute by providing tourism sector an understanding of the tourist’s behaviors in pre-purchase period of travelling in Pakistan.
