Reform and Change in Early 20th Century Bengali Society: A Study of Chattopadhyay\u27s Novel Nishkriti
Get PDFThe goal of this research is to examine the societal reforms and modifications that took place in early 20th-century Bengal as a result of the flourishing Bengali Renaissance, as portrayed in Chattopadhyay\u27s novel Nishkriti. The study technique included a qualitative analysis of Nishkriti with an emphasis on finding and evaluating themes connected to societal reforms and transformations in early 20th-century Bengal. To gather relevant data from the novel and conduct a thorough analysis of it, the research employed a content analysis technique. The study discovered that Nishkriti depicts a variety of societal reforms and transformations, including the promotion of females\u27 education, the dissolution of joint families and the creation of nuclear families, the abolition of superstitious customs, the penetration of new ideas and creative business strategies, and empowerment of females. The novel also shows how children were drawn to fashionable practices and trends, which reflects shifting society attitudes. Ultimately, the study comes to the conclusion that Nishkriti accurately captures the spirit of change in Bengali society at the turn of the 20th century. The novel describes the social reforms and improvements that occurred during the Bengali Renaissance, including the abolition of superstitious customs and the empowerment of formerly oppressed groups as a result of growing consciousness and enlightenment. The novel also emphasizes the advent of fresh concepts and methods that contributed to the transformation of Bengali society.

Analysis of Leadership Styles and Decision-Making Effectiveness in Public Sector Universities in Pakistan: A Systematic Review
Get PDFThe leadership styles play a crucial role in determining the effectiveness in decision making and performance in institutions of higher learning (HEIs). Nevertheless, literature on leadership in Pakistani higher education institutions is still divided, and it is necessary to synthesize it systematically. This is a systematic review that will integrate empirical literature on leadership styles and decision-making performance within the public sector universities in Pakistan to identify the mechanism of influence and situational influences. In line with PRISMA, a total of five databases were searched and 97 records were discovered. After a rigorous screening, 2016-2022 studies (n= 28) were included in the study. They were collected with standardized forms, and the quality of the studies was evaluated with the help of Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Synthesis of findings was done in narrative form. Transformational leadership had the most positive correlations with organizational performance, faculty satisfaction, and innovation (28 studies). The positive influence of the leadership styles of servants, empowering, and knowledge-oriented leadership styles were also positively affected through the mediation of emotional intelligence, psychological empowerment, and organizational trust factors. Effectiveness was moderated by leader gender, hierarchical level, organizational culture and crisis context. Pakistani HEIs need multi-style competence, situational application, and emotional intelligence to be competent leaders. Policy reform and evidence-based leadership development can improve institutional effectiveness. One area of future research is that based on longitudinal designs, studies of the decision-making process directly, and the context of institutional governance.

Teacher Professional Development & Well-being in the Era of Hybrid and Remote Instruction: Challenges, Opportunities, and Pathways Forward
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic caused an immediate shift to remote and hybrid education, which in turn radically changed the needs and well-being outcomes of teacher professional development. This review paper reviews the current literature on teacher professional development (TPD) in hybrid and remote environments, explores the effects of mental health and well-being on teachers, and approaches to evidence-based solutions, which would help to provide quality instruction online and in a hybrid setting, long-term. Results have shown that educators had significant stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion with high pedagogical requirements when engaging in emergency remote teaching (ERT). Although a portion of the teachers gained new digital abilities and learned new pedagogical prospects, a large number of the educators had difficulties with technology and professional seclusion and incompetence. The review has found that effective TPD in online and hybrid instruction involves key factors such as integrated systemic practices, communities of practice, technology training coupled with development of pedagogy, and organizational support that ensures the well-being of teachers. To proceed, the education system needs to find the balance between technological skills acquisition and humanistic aspects of instruction, taking the emotional and psychological needs of teachers as the key to sustainability of good hybrid and distance teaching.

The influence of green HRM practices and green knowledge sharing on green service behaviors: Environmental Sustainability at Work: How Green HRM and Knowledge Transfer Influence Green Service Behaviors
No full textPurpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between green knowledge sharing and green human resource management on green service behaviors in banks.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Partial least-squares analysis is used to examine the opinions of 102 frontline bank workers in Pakistan.
Research Limitations/Implications: Because this study focuses on the attitudes among employees of private commercial banking organizations, its conclusions cannot be generalized to all other service organizations in Pakistan.
Practical Implication: This research shows that green human resources management can have an impact on green service behaviors among employees through the dissemination of green information.
Originality: Green banking is a new trend that merits more study. Green banking is becoming more recognized as a method that requires bank management to encourage green service behavior among their personnel rather than being an "automatic" procedure. This study expands on previous research on GHRM by examining how it influences green service behavior via the independent role of green knowledge sharing.

The Anatomy of Talibanization: Religious Extremism and Social Transformation in Swat, Pakistan
Get PDFThis study explores how religious extremism and terrorism developed until the Taliban attempted to govern in Swat, followed by the military operation aimed at countering militancy in the area. In Swat, religious extremists have effectively worked to influence people\u27s minds to prepare them for violence and hostility against the state. The study emphasizes the role of the military in the rise and decline of extremist ideologies. It highlights some fundamental causes of religious extremism, helping us better understand the issue and develop solutions. The research approach is historical, descriptive, and analytical. Articles and books by reputable analysts have been reviewed for this study. It also seeks to provide recommendations for addressing the current crisis, with post-conflict rehabilitation, reconstruction, and recovery advancing through efforts and support from the government, the international community, and NGOs. Nonetheless, significant efforts are necessary to complete the large-scale tasks of rebuilding and rehabilitating. If these recommendations are strengthened, peace and stability could be restored, with improved access to social services and employment opportunities, and the process of repatriation could proceed smoothly.

Teacher Training Needs for Skill-Based Education: A Review of Competencies, Barriers, and Professional Development Gaps
Get PDFThe resulting deep gap between employer requirements and student acquisition in terms of skills, and employers and students in terms of competencies, produces dire necessity in teacher training redesign. Educators are one of the key leverage points that can be developed to ensure the development of the most important 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity, as well as digital literacy that determine the success of the workforce. However, the majority of teachers do not receive much training or professional development in skill-based pedagogy, competency models, or learning integration with technology in meaningful learning. This review analyzes the studies on skills-based education and workforce production teacher training requirements in 17+ peer-reviewed articles. The major findings have shown that: (1) The major majority of teachers lack the initial competencies needed to engage in skill-based education such as digital literacy, pedagogical innovation, and awareness of competency frameworks; (2) Teacher preparation programs and professional development are poorly equipped to focus on skill-based education, and the programs remain focused on content-based knowledge and traditional pedagogy; (3) Teachers feel substantial obstacles to innovation such as time scarcity, professional development, technological infrastructure, and institutional support; (4) Professional development is effective when it lasts longer, is based on job The review notes the following crucial areas of teacher training such as a reform-based curriculum redesign, active pedagogies, digital competence, knowledge of social-emotional learning and trauma-informed practice, system thinking and design thinking, and cultural competence and anti-racist practice development. The review draws a conclusion that skill-based education needs to be effective and it involves systemic transformation of teacher training such as reformed teacher preparation, long-term professional development, technological and infrastructural support, collaborative and learning time, and institutional cultures that embrace innovation and continuous improvement.

Causes of Youth Unemployment in Pakistan
Get PDFYouth unemployment is a major challenge for any developing or under developed countries, and Pakistan is no exception. The rate of youth unemployment in the country is one of the highest in the world, according to the World Bank, and this carries with it far-reaching economic and social implications. One of the main causes of this problem is a lack of government investment in the economy, which has resulted in a lack of job creation opportunities. Additionally, political instability and security concerns in the country have caused a large number of displaced people, which has further increased the number of unemployed youth. To address this challenge, it is necessary to focus on eliminating the causal factors and promoting economic and social development in the country.

Comparative Assessment the Nutritional Status among School Going Children of Employed and Unemployed Mothers: A Study in Selected Schools of Nepalgunj, Banke, Nepal
Get PDFThe science of nutrition focuses primarily on how nutrients contribute to human growth, development, and maintenance. Nutrition is the study of the relationship between diet and health. The goal of healthy nutrition is to keep people in a nutritional state that promotes growth and optimum health. The six to twelve year old school going is a vital time for children\u27s physical and intellectual development. The socioeconomic standing of families, community social well-being, community access to quality healthcare, and environmental influence are all significant determinants of children\u27s health. Malnutrition can be prevented using a variety of strategies if it is seen as a problem in human ecology. This study\u27s goal was to assess the nutritional status of school going children in Nepalgunj, Banke, whose mothers were employed or unemployed and attended selected schools. The study used a descriptive comparative research approach, and 120 students from Nepalgunj, Banke were chosen using stratified random selection. A systematic questionnaire that was self-developed was used to gather the data. The study\u27s findings indicated that children with underweight (51.6%) were more common among children of employed moms than of jobless mothers (20%). However, children of unemployed moms (43.3%) had a higher prevalence of normal weight children than did children of employed mothers (25%). The body mass index (BMI) of the children was found to be correlated with the type of school and maternal job level, with P-values of <0.001 and <0.02 respectively. Children\u27s nutritional status is a critical component of their growth and development. According to this study, children of employed moms were less likely to be underweight, whereas those of jobless mothers were typically sized. Children\u27s BMI was correlated with the work position of the mother and various school kinds, including public and private schools. When developing treatments to improve children\u27s nutritional status, these elements should be taken into account.

Factors Affecting Career Progression of Female Management Employees in Banking Sector
Get PDFThe main objective of this study is to investigate the variables influencing the career development of female management personnel in Bangladesh\u27s banking industry. The study was focused on four separate research goals: determining how management views women\u27s career advancement; determining whether juggling work and family obligations has an impact on female employees\u27 career advancement; examining the influence of bank policies and practises on women\u27s career advancement; and developing a framework for the professional advancement of female employees in Bangladesh\u27s banking industry. The research design adopted by the study was descriptive. Both primary and secondary data were gathered using survey questions and thorough literature reviews, respectively.
SmartPLS 3.0 was used to analyse the information gathered. Following the study\u27s findings, it was determined that the discussed criteria have an effect on how far female bankers can advance in their careers. Women must have strong female leadership, network development, and female role models if they are to advance in their careers across all industries, not just the banking industry. The study makes a contribution by outlining the significant challenges impacting the career advancement of female employees in Bangladesh\u27s banking industry, which might be useful in developing policies that are supportive of female bankers. Additional research on this topic can focus on various industries, such as state-owned banks, the public sector, the business sector, educational institutions, and so forth. The current study would contribute towards the existing knowledge through the utilization of under study variables, theoretical framework, and geographical coverage in business and management studies.
Keywords: Career progression, banking sector, female bankers, work life balance.
