No full textFactors affecting employee creativity in Islamic banking in Pakistan
No full textIslamic banking emerged as a response to both religious and economic needs in Islamic countries. Previous literature highlighted the need for more studies to focus employee creativity on staying competitive in this challenging market. Therefore, previous studies failed to discuss thoroughly cultural, behavioral, and internal factors affecting employee creativity, especially in Islamic banking. The current study integrated a framework on the factors affecting employee creativity suggested by practitioners and previous literature. This study's framework includes organizational culture with its nine dimensions, internal marketing, and employee creativity with the mediating effect of knowledge sharing. This study has seven main hypotheses to meet these objectives, and 15 hypotheses were tailored in total, including sub-hypothesis. A quantitative method was followed, and data were collected from a survey questionnaire from Islamic banks in Pakistan. The data analysis was conducted using Smart PLS 3.2.7 for 393 final clean respondents. The results show that both organizational culture and internal marketing have a positive effect on employee creativity jointly. However, three of the dimensions of organizational culture are not significant to employee creativity. Simultaneously power distance and performance orientation don’t support knowledge sharing in Islamic banking. Moreover, knowledge sharing is found as a significantly supported mediator. This study provides some implications for theory advancements and practical applications that can help practitioners better understand the issues related to organizational culture, internal marketing, employee creativity, and knowledge sharing in Pakistan's Islamic banking

No full textThesis. M.A. American University of Beirut. Department of English, 2014. T:6069Advisor : Dr. Amy Zenger, Associate Professor, English ; Members of Committee : Dr. David Wrisley, Associate Professor, English ; Dr. Syrine Hout, Professor, English.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 83-87)This thesis examines the works of three postmodern authors: Selected Writings by Mai Ghoussoub’s, Beirut I Love You by Zena El Khalil and Vinexvrouwen (The Suburban Wives) by Naima El Bezaz. Through closely reading and analyzing their texts I show that narration is a tool with which they attempt to transcend their identities and ground themselves. I explore how writing created a Third Space symbolizing a home to all three writers, a space where diversity is appreciated and becomes the norm. The first chapter defines and explores the different definitions of the terms, displacement, belonging, negotiation and Third Space. The second chapter discusses the displacement of Mai Ghoussoub, Zena El Khalil and Naima El Bezaz and the different causes of displacement. The third chapter elaborates on the negotiation and belonging of the three authors. This chapter examines the different negotiation styles of each author and their attempts at belonging. The fourth chapter looks at the Third Space created by Mai Ghoussoub, Zena El Khalil and Naima El Bezaz through writing. This chapter discusses the need for narrative in creating an identity and home. I will attempt to show that the Third Space, instead of being a contested space, can be a source of stability and self expression. The fifth chapter concludes the thesis and finds that Mai Ghoussoub, Zena El Khalil and Naima El Bezaz created an additional space, a Third Space, through writing in which they are not touched by offensive behavior. They anchor themselves in a virtual Third Space and find a home within their texts

canons of Ottoman Prose Literature and rules of its language norm. Yet at the same time, «History of Naima»
differs from other texts in some obscure, inexpressive form, which let the annalist work stay quite famous in
Ottoman Literature for two centuries and not be forgotten as was the chronicle “Seyahatname” of the famous
traveler Evliya Chelebi. Verbs and masdars of Turkic origin prevail in Naima’s History in comparison with other
Ottoman Prose. Meanwhile this prevailing is not so noticeable as to claim that the author radically opposed
literary canons. More frequent using of Turkic words in the chronicle can be explained by author's attempts to
influence the recipient of the text with the aim to convince him of some political ideas.
