Title Abstract Action(s)
OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AND JOB PERFORMANCE AMONG SCHOOL TEACHERS: MODERATING ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AND EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE The present study was designed to investigate the impact of occupational stress on job performance among school teachers. Data was collected from various schools of Rawalpindi and Islamabad following the convenient sampling technique. Total sample of (N = 500) school teachers including both male (n = 150) and female (n = 350) with age range of 23 to 60 years participated in the study. In this study, teachers occupational stress questionnaire (TOSQ; Shirom, Oliver & Stein, 2009), Organizational Commitment Scale (Mowday, 1979), Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire (Taksic, 2001) and Job Performance Scale (Goodman & Svyantek, 1999) were used. The results indicated that occupational stress has significant negative correlation with job performance. Organizational commitment and emotional competence are significantly positively correlated with one another. Organizational commitment and emotional competence have significant positive correlation with job performance. However, significant gender and age related variables emerged on study variables. T- test shows that women experienced much more occupational stress than men did (p =.001). It was revealed that there are hardly any mean differences across age groups for the studied variables. The mean differences between organizational commitment and job performance have been found out to be highly significant. Findings of this study will guide the school administration in protecting school teachers from occupational stress and reduced job performance by providing social support in the workplace and trained them to cope up with the difficult situations. Further studies may be conducted to study same relationship in college and university teachers as well.
Technostress, Job Motivation and Job Satisfaction among University Faculty: Examining the Role of Mindfulness In the modern digital age, technology has been deeply embedded in higher education institutions, greatly affecting faculty personnel. Academic personnel experience "techno stress" as they face obstacles relating to technology, such as technical glitches, software integration, and online interactions. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of techno stress on the motivation and job satisfaction of faculty members, specifically in the setting of higher education in Pakistan, where there is limited research on this subject. The research investigates the impact of mindfulness on techno stress, specifically examining how faculty members' coping strategies affect their job satisfaction and motivation. Furthermore, the study investigates how demographics, including gender and employment level, influence individuals' reactions to technological stress. The research seeks to fill these gaps in order to offer valuable insights that can guide interventions aimed at improving faculty members' capacity to overcome technological obstacles and foster a culture of resilience and well-being in higher education institutions. The data was collected through purposive convenient sampling in which male and female both participants were included. The main study sample was N=300. Cross sectional research design was used to conduct the data of the present study. The English version of all the questionnaires were used to measure variables. Techno Stress Questionnaire by Tarafdar(2007), Job satisfaction scale by Macdonald and Maclntyre (1997)., Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale by Tremblay et al (2009)and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale by Brown and Ryan (2003), were used to measure the variables of the current study. The collected data was assembled and arranged in SPSS 22 in order to perform the required analysis such as descriptive analysis, correlation, regression t-test,one way ANOVA and moderation analysis. The finding of the study indicates that there exists a negative association between techno stress and job motivation.Job Motivation is positively correlated to job satisfaction, and mindfulness,while techno stress is negatively correlated with job satisfaction and mindfulnesss among faculty members of the higher education institutions. Similarly, different aspects of technostress are negatively correlated with job motivation and job satisfaction. Female faculty members are higher on techno stress as compared to male faculty members.Further, techno-stress is significantly predicting job motivation and job satisfaction among faculty members of higher education institutions. Different sspects are significantly predicting job satisfaction. The role moderator of mindfulness was found as a significant on the study variables. In the end, the results could help enhance the quality of teaching and increase productivity within the organisation. They can also provide guidance for creating rules and processes that assist faculty members in efficiently utilising technology.
ROLE OVERLOAD, BURNOUT AND TURNOVER INTENTIONS AMONG TEACHERS: MODERATING ROLE OF WORKPLACE SUPPORT AND RESILIENCE Drawing on Job Demand Resource model (Bakker & Demerouti, 2007), present research was carried out to investigate the impact of role overload on turnover intentions and burnout among school teachers. Moreover, the moderating role of workplace support (supervisor support as well as collegial support) and resilience was also studied in the said relationship. Using Purposive convenient sampling technique data were collected from 400 people (age range 24 to 60 years), from 5 schools located in Rawalpindi, Islamabad for this correlational study. Information was collected on socio-demographic variable, as well as on following study variables namely role overload, turnover intentions, resilience, burnout, and workplace support. Role overload Scale (Reilly, 1990), Maslach Burnout Inventory (1986), Turnover Intention Scale (Weiss, 1980), Resilience is measured by PsyCap questionnaire (Luthens, 2007) and Workplace support Scale (Cassidy, 2016) were used to test impact of teacher’s role overload, on turnover intentions and burnout followed by the moderating role of resilience, collegial and supervisor social support. Psychometric properties of the scales were established prior to data collection. Zero order correlation was obtained through SPSS. Current study found the significant correlation between the role overload and turnover intentions. The result indicates the positive significant relationship between the role overload and burnout. As the individual will be burdened with multiple roles at a time, it increases the exhaustion in a person and it will lead to turnover intention. Resilience lessens the effect of burnout and turnover intentions and workplace support also shows the significant effect on study variables. Findings of this study will guide the school administration in protecting school teachers from burnout and turnover intentions by providing social support in the workplace and trained them to come up with the difficult situations. Further studies may be conducted to study same relationship in college and university teachers as well.
Development and Validation of Professional Development Inventory for Young Entrepreneurs in Pakistan This research project was designed to develop and validate the Entrepreneurial Professional Development Inventory for Young Entrepreneurs in Pakistan and to examine the predictive relationships between professional development and other variables with the entrepreneurial orientation of young entrepreneurs. The primary objective of this study is to identify the key characteristics and factors that contribute to an entrepreneur's success. In the context of Pakistan, where entrepreneurship is still in its early stages, various theoretical paradigms, from trait theories to behavioral motivation perspectives, have sought to explain its significance. Despite facing ongoing challenges in economic development and growth, Pakistan's need to enhance productivity has become increasingly urgent. In this scenario, entrepreneurs play a crucial role in driving the country's overall economic progress. To achieve these objectives, a mixed-method approach was employed, comprising three studies conducted in multiple phases. Study I was qualitative, utilizing a phenomenological exploratory approach to investigate the professional development of successful Pakistani entrepreneurs. A purposive sampling technique was applied, targeting 25 successful entrepreneurs (18 men and 7 women, aged 40 to 60) from Islamabad, Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Karachi. Semi-structured Interviews were used to explore the experiences of successful Pakistani entrepreneurs. The obtained data was transcribed using a simple transcription method by Kuckarz (2014). The information was narrowed down to only relevant factors and characteristics. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data manually and develop descriptive, organizing, and global themes (Clarke et al., 2015). Six major themes emerged from the thematic analysis of ix data. The themes included Business Obstacles/Troubles, Personality Characteristics/Traits, Business Ethics and conduct, Competencies and skills, Antecedents of Success, and Guidelines/Road Map for Young Entrepreneurs. Study II was a quantitative investigation conducted in three phases. Phase I focused on the development of the instrument for the study. Following the confirmation of construct fidelity and content validity, the inventory items underwent principal axis factoring using the oblimin rotation method on a sample of 350 young business graduates (261 men, 89 women, aged 23 to 30). This analysis resulted in the retention of 35 items, organized into a well-defined five-factor structure: Entrepreneurial Traits, Entrepreneurial Acumen, Entrepreneurial Values, Managerial Skills, and Leadership Skills. Together, these factors accounted for 66.80% of the variance. The outcome of this process was the development of the indigenous Entrepreneurial Professional Development Inventory for Young Entrepreneurs (EPDI). Phase II involved conducting a confirmatory factor analysis on a sample of 300 young entrepreneurs (222 men, 78 women, aged 30-60) using AMOS. This analysis resulted in a refined Entrepreneurial Professional Development Inventory (EPDI) comprising five factors and 32 items, which met all the model fit standards (CFI = .95, GFI = .94, RMSEA = .05). Phase III focused on establishing convergent validity, revealing a significant positive relationship between the EPDI and related entrepreneurial scales. Study III aimed at testing the EPDI. A purposive sample of 300 young entrepreneurs from various cities in Pakistan was selected to evaluate the study hypotheses and correlations. Data were collected using a demographic datasheet and several scales, including the Entrepreneurial Professional Development Inventory for Young Entrepreneurs, the Scale for Perceived Risk & Barrier (SPRB), The Mini-IPIP6, The x German Ethical Culture Scale (GECS), the Entrepreneurial Knowledge, Skills, Competencies and Performance Scale (EKSCP), the Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy Scale (ESFS), and the Entrepreneurial Orientation Scale (EOS). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the EPDI had a significant positive relationship with all scales except the Mini-IPIP6. The EPDI demonstrated reliability, and the data were analyzed using SPSS-27. Group differences were assessed through t-tests and ANOVA, revealing significant differences in EPDI scores based on gender, age, marital status, family system, and educational background. The findings provide valuable insights for young entrepreneurs, startups, and educational institutions, emphasizing the importance of developing specific traits, characteristics, and skills for professional growth. Additionally, current entrepreneurs and business professionals can use these insights to identify and address gaps in their practices, enhancing their chances of success and growth.
PARENTAL REJECTION AND RELATIONSHIP QUALITY OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: LOOKING THROUGH THE PRISM OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE Parental rejection can let individuals think themselves as unworthy of love, causing lifelong adverse consequences socially, psychologically, emotionally effecting relationships of individuals throughout life. Present study was conducted to see the impact of parental rejection on relationship quality and to explore the role of emotional intelligence and communication apprehension in university students. Research consisted of two phases, pilot study and main study. Pilot study was carried out to examine the psychometric properties, practicality and relevancy of instruments in local population. The pilot study was conducted using inclusion criteria on a sample of 100 university students (46% males, 54% females) with age range of 19-24 years by convenient sampling representing whole population. Main study sample consisted of 508 university students (girls = 245, boys = 263) aged 19 to 24 years (M = 21.62, SD = 1.74) were selected from Islamabad and Rawalpindi. English versions of Parental Acceptance Rejection Questionnaire (Rohner, 1991), Network of Relationships (Furman & Buhrmester, 1985), State-Trait Anxiety inventory (Spielberger, 1983) and Trait Meta-Mood scale (Salovey & Mayer, 1995) were used. Data was analyzed statistically through SPSS-25. Measures used in study depicted satisfactory and acceptable reliability. Results indicated that parental rejection is significantly negatively correlated with closeness in relationship with parents whereas significantly positively related with discord in relationship with parents (p > .05). Results indicated that communication apprehension is significantly negatively related with closeness and significantly positively related with discord in relationship with parents. Mediation analysis revealed that communication apprehension acts as mediator in parental rejection and closeness but did not mediate with discord in relationship with mother and father. Moderation analysis revealed that emotional intelligence partially moderated the relationship between parental rejection and relationship quality with parents, where emotional iii intelligence mediated between mother rejection and closeness with mother, and between father rejection and discord with father. Results also revealed boys perceived parental rejection more as compared to girls. Study further showed that students living in joint family scored higher on remembrance of mother hostility, emotional intelligence whereas students living in nuclear family system scored higher on communication apprehension.
Psychological Distress and Subjective Wellbeing of Institutionalized Orphans: A Comparative Study Approach The main objective of the study was to explore the relationship between psychological distress and subjective wellbeing among biological and social orphan. The sample comprised of overall 213 orphans in institutions in which there are 168 social orphans and 45 biological orphans. All samples were collected from Rawalpindi, Islamabad and Karachi orphanages. This sample age between 12 to 18 years and comprise of 135 males and 78 females. To measure study variable, Urdu version of the scales were used. Kessler psychological distress scale translated by Shiza Shahid (2020) used to measure orphan distress level. BBC Subjective wellbeing scale translated by Amna Khalid (2015) was used to measure individual subjective wellbeing. The result of the study shows significant positive association between psychological distress and subjective wellbeing. Study result indicated biological orphans having high psychological distress and low subjective wellbeing as compared to social orphans. Result also were significant between age, gender, various orphanages and educational institutions. This study helps to understand problems that are increasing source of psychological distress among orphans especially for those living in orphanages from childhood. Results of this research helps policy makers to develop appropriate and good policies that helps donors while donating money to various orphanages.
FAMILY ECONOMIC STRESS AND WELL- BEING AMONG ADOLESCENTS: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF PARENTING PRACTICES This study examines the impact of family economic stress on well-being of adolescents and the mediating role of parenting practices in relationship between family economic stress and well- being. A sample of 204 adolescents (51.5% boys, 48.5% girls) from the cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad completed assessments of family economic stress (financial strain, inability to make ends meet, not enough money for necessities) EHQ; Barrera et al., 2001, parenting practices (parental involvement, positive parenting, poor monitoring/supervision) APQ-42; Frick, 1991, and well-being (AWBS; Birleson, 1981). In the current cross-sectional study, purposive convenient sampling technique was used for data collection. Study was hypothesized to see the main effect of family economic stress and the mediating effect of different parenting practices on adolescents’ well-being. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS-25 and Process Macro 4. Results show that family economic stress was significantly related with reduced levels of adolescent well-being (β= -.66, p<.001). Nevertheless, this relationship was partially mediated by parenting practices, indicating that positive parenting and parental involvement can influence the adverse impacts of family economic stress on adolescents’ wellbeing, highlighting the significance of emotional support and open communication in promoting adolescents’ well-being. Through analysis of independent sample t-test a relatively stronger impact of family economic stress was observed on males (M=29.90, SD= 7.17) as compared to females (M= 27.54, SD= 9.12). It also shows that joint family systems (M= 30.43, SD= 8.73) perceive more family economic stress as compared to nuclear family systems (M= 27.91, SD= 7.88). These results have implications for interventions that are designed to assist adolescents who are experiencing family economic stress. Findings indicate that focusing on parental practices may be an effective approach to enhancing the well-being of adolescents.

IMPACT OF SELF-LEADERSHIP STRATEGIES OF HEALTH CARE EMPLOYEES ON WORK ENGAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE The research primarily aimed to measure the influence of self-leadership strategies utilized by health care employees’ performance and work engagement. The study investigated and explained the indirect and direct relationship between work engagement and self-leadership strategies. Mean differences across gender on study variables as well as differences based on age groups, position, experience in the organization(present), total experience, educational levels and status of organization respectively were also explored. A sample of 290 (Male=107, Female=183) health care employees was selected from various government and private hospitals within Islamabad and Rawalpindi, using a cross-sectional research design. The ages varied between 18 years to 65 years (M=23.5, SD=.62). Revised Self-Leadership Questionnaire, Work Engagement Scale, Job performance scale and Job Performance Supervisor Rating Scale were used for data collection. Mediation analysis suggested significant partial mediation. The direct and indirect effects of selfleadership techniques, namely behavior focused strategy, natural reward strategy and cognitive thought pattern on job performance were positive and significant. Mean differences indicated significant gender-based differences among health care employees only on vigor sub-domain of work engagement. One-Way Analysis displayed that nurses showed more vigor and absorption; graduates did better on vigor, work engagement, self-leadership and cognitive thought pattern respectively; whereas, paramedical staff did better on job performance; age group of 46-65years used more of vigor, dedication, behavior focused and natural reward strategy; employees with the greater work experience showed more of vigor; whereas those in the current organization did better on work engagement and job performance along with vigor. As additional findings, the hierarchical regression analysis of dimensions of work engagement was performed. Findings revealed significant positive associations between sub domains of work engagement and job performance including their significant impact on the latter

ROLE OF MENTALIZATION AND EPISTEMIC TRUST IN LINKING ADOLESCENTS' ATTACHMENT AND BORDERLINE PERSONALITY FEATURES Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a complex mental health condition that typically emerges during adolescence, and while its exact causes remain unclear, research indicates that difficulties in attachment and impairments in mentalization may significantly contribute to the development of BPD features in youth. The main objective of the present study was to analyze the relationships between adolescents' parental attachment patterns, mentalization abilities, and epistemic trust, and how these factors play their role in the evolution of borderline personality features. The research sample consisted of 500 adolescents (boys=238, girls=262) aged 13-18 years old (M=15.72, SD=1.45 years). Responses were collected using convenient sampling from different public sector schools of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. In the first phase of the study the English version of questionnaires was translated using Brislin method and then pilot tested to check the understanding and appropriateness of these measures for Pakistani sample (N=100). Adolescent Anxiety and Avoidance Attachment Inventory (Moretti & Obsuth, 2009), Borderline Personality Feature Scale (BFPS-11; Sharp et al., 2014), The Mentalization Scale (Dimitrijevic et al., 2018) and Epistemic trust, Mistrust and Credulity Questionnaire (Saunders et al., 2021) were used to measure the study variables. Results indicated that positive correlation exists between anxious attachment of adolescents (both father and mother) and borderline personality features. Regression analysis revealed that epistemic trust and mentalization are the significant negative predictors of borderline personality features in adolescents. Mentalization and epistemic trusts emerged as the significant mediators. Fathers’ and mothers’ attachment anxiety was found to be significant for family type where adolescents in nuclear family type reported higher attachment anxiety whereas father attachment avoidance for adolescents’ whose mother are working women is relatively higher than the mothers who are house wives. Girls scored higher than boys for fathers’ and mothers’ attachment anxiety. The findings should be taken as a call to Pakistan's policymakers, clinicians, and researchers to develop proper screening and mentalization and trust-based management protocols for the early treatments and intervention for adolescents.
PROMOTING WELLBEING IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS THROUGH A WEB-BASED MINDFULNESS INTERVENTION The decline in wellbeing and rising dropout rates among university students have become serious global concerns. Consequently, there is an urgent need for effective interventions to support students’ wellbeing and enhance their academic performance. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based mindfulness intervention designed to improve psychological flexibility, mindfulness, quality of life and overall wellbeing among university students. The intervention developed specifically for Pakistani university students was based on six core principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ACT (Hayes, 1980). Delivered online, the program consisted of eight weekly sessions, with the first session serving as introduction and the finalsession for feedback and suggestion. This study served as preliminary testing of indigenously developed intervention. A total of 176 (10.2% male) BS Psychology students were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=89) or waitlist control group (n=87). Data was collected pre and post intervention. The results showed that students in intervention group made significant improvements in mindfulness, psychological flexibility and overall wellbeing compared to the control group. The intervention group also showed considerable improvements in their academic performance and study habits. Participants in intervention group provided positive feedback, noting that intervention helped them manage academic stress and improved their daily life functioning. Many reported that they became more mindful and better able to handle challenges after completing the sessions. The findings of the study highlighted the effectiveness of an ACT based mindfulness intervention in promoting wellbeing and academic success in university students. This intervention has the potential for broader implementation within educational settings to support students’ mental health and academic achievement
Social Media Use Motives, Emotional Contagion, and Psychological Adjustment in Emerging Adults: Role of Attentional Control The study explores the intricate relationships between social media use motives, emotional contagion, and psychological adjustment in emerging adults, focusing on the role of attentional processes. Social media has become a pervasive force in the lives of young adults, influencing their emotional and psychological well-being. This research adoptsthe Uses and Gratifications (U&G) approach to understand why emerging adults engage with social media and how these motives impact their emotional states and psychological adjustment. Emotional contagion, the phenomenon where individuals 'catch' emotions from others, is examined as a critical factor influencing psychological maladjustment. The study also investigates how attentional processes, the ability to focus and shift attention, moderate the relationship between social media motives and emotional contagion. Data was collected from 501 emerging adults aged 18-29 using a cross-sectional design. The findings indicate significant associations between social media motives, emotional contagion, and psychological adjustment, with attentional processes playing a moderating role. This research contributes to understanding how digital interactions affect emotional and psychological health, providing insights for developing interventions to promote healthier social media use among emerging adults. Keywords: Social media use motives, emotional contagion, psychological adjustment, emerging adults, attentional processes, Uses and Gratifications (U&G) approach
IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON JOB PERFORMANCE AMONG IT PROFESSIONALS: ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AND WORK-LIFE BALANCE Organizational culture holds a pivotal position in enhancing the job performance of employees. The study posits that a strong, cohesive organizational culture, characterized by adherence to shared aims and values, can enhance job performance among IT professionals. It explores how organizational commitment and work-life balance acts as crucial intermediaries, potentially improving job standards, engagement and ultimately performance. The research acknowledges that the dynamics of organizational culture, commitment and work-life balance are complex as well as multifaceted, impacting various aspects of job performance and employee well-being. The sample consisted of 347 IT employees (Males=262, Females=85) and they were selected by convenient sampling from Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Organizational culture was measured by using the Shorter Version of Denison Organizational Culture Scale (Fey & Denison, 2003). Job performance was measured by using Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (Koopman, 2015), Organizational commitment by Organizational Commitment Scale (Mowday et al., 1979) and Work-Life Balance by Work-Life Balance scale (TaşdelenKarçkay & Bakalım, 2017). Measures used in the study depicted satisfactory and acceptable reliability. The research was conducted in two phases i:e. pilot study and main study. The results of both pilot study and main study indicated that organizational culture is significantly and positively related with job performance. Regression analysis also shows similar results. Organizational culture positively predicted job performance. Mediation analysis revealed that work life balance and organizational commitment acts as mediator between the dimensions of organizational culture and job performance. The t-test was applied on education, gender, marital status, working hours and job experience to see the effect of organizational culture, job performance, organizational commitment and work life balance. ANOVA was carried out on job designation and the outcome obtained exhibited that job designation has noteworthy influence with the variables studied in this research. The implications of studying the effect of organizational culture on job performance, mediated by organizational commitment and worklife balance, offer valuable insights for enhancing organizational effectiveness and employee well-being in the modern workplace. Due to the significant effects of work-life balance, managers should create and implement family friendly policies including teleworking, reasonable workloads and flexible work schedules. Hence, organizational support helps employees in managing their work and non-work domains of life.
