The purpose of this study is to explore the aesthetical features of corporate recruitment websites, including the website design, style, and color, and to investigate their impact on organizational attractiveness and applicants' intention to apply. By doing so, the study also examines the effects of corporate websites on applicants' perception of the corporate culture and measures the mediating impact of perceptions of organizational culture on organizational attractiveness and applicants' intention to apply for the jobs in the context of Pakistan. The study is based on a laboratory experiment with three hundred undergraduate business students conducted at a university computer lab. Correlation, Independent T-test, One-way ANOVA, and Simple Linear Regression were applied to analyze variables using SPSS. The findings of this study support the hypothesis that website features have a significant positive impact on applicants' perceived organizational attractiveness. However, the website's design does not seem to impact applicants' intentions to apply for the job substantially. The regression analysis results also revealed that the perceived organizational culture partially mediates the relationship between website features and organizational attractiveness and fully mediates the relationship between website features and intentions to Apply.
Purpose: In developing countries business incubators (BIs) have become a key catalyst for the flourishment of new ventures, due to overall weak financial health and opportunities for the startups. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of BIs in Pakistan and identify areas that need improvement. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopts a mixed-method approach of social science research, using a cross-sectional survey of BI tenants in Pakistan (n=100), triangulated with the help of in-depth interviews of key stakeholders of BIs (n=12). Data from cross-sectional survey were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Paired Samples T-test methods. Data from interview responses were analyzed with the help of MAXQDA. Findings: The study shows that the effectiveness of incubation facilities in Pakistan is less than the perceived importance and identifies which facilities tenants are most and least satisfied with. The findings of this study suggest that for BIs to be more effective in creating new ventures and providing employment opportunities, the Pakistani government must take concrete actions. New BI centers must be established to meet the market's demands and an evaluation process for existing BI centers must be implemented. To aid in the creation of new businesses in Pakistan, more university-based BIs should be established. Implications/Originality/Value: The findings of this study are equally useful for the Government of Pakistan, BIs, and fresh startups.
Introduction The greater palatine canal route has been well‐described in adults for the purposes of anesthetizing the branches of the maxillary division of trigeminal nerve for the relief of sphenopalatine neuralgia [11]. The canal also provides direct access to the contents of the PPF [12]. A complex array of vascular and neural structures characterizes this posterior maxillary region where the GPC is located. Its surgical anatomy can get further complicated by any anatomic variations and identification of vital structures becomes difficult, especially when bleeding during surgery obscures the region. Accurate knowledge of normal anatomy and common anatomical variations therefore remain crucial in minimizing intraoperative and postoperative complications associated with invasive microsurgical approaches to this region. The aim of this study was to explore the architecture of the GPC for any anatomic variations. Material & Method In total, 30 adult dried and intact skull specimens were selected. The selection criteria included an intact hard palate with erupted 3rd molars and an intact lateral nasal wall on both sides. The exclusion criteria included any major craniofacial deformities, excessive bone resorption, very old specimens. The bony walls of the GPC were observed by passing a black wire. Findings 4 out of 30 specimens showed marked variations in the bony medial wall of the greater palatine canal (GPC). Partial to complete malfusion between the posterior surface of the maxilla and the perpendicular plate of palatine bone was observed. This might be the result of embryological malformation. Conclusion The present study provided information regarding the existence of some degree of anatomical variation in the bony architecture of greater palatine canal. Significance This might help surgeons visualize over the possibility of the existence of any such variation while performing any surgical procedure in the posterior maxillary area. In order to establish the embryological basis of these findings, investigation on a larger number of specimens is highly suggested by the authors.
