The present study aimed to explore the relationship between life satisfaction and religiosity among college teachers. Life satisfaction refers to cognitive and affective assessments of life. Religiosity refers to behavior, emotions, and thoughts which are derivative from beliefs about the sacred, associated with a particular religious ritual. A sample of 100 males and females college teachers was selected in a crosssectional survey research design. Muslim Religiosity Personality Inventory (MRPI) by Krauss (2011) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) by Diener (1985) were used to measure the religiosity and life satisfaction respectively. Permissions to use the scales have already obtained from authors. Data were collected from a convenient sample of 100 college teachers from district Gujrat. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0 version was used for statistical analyses. Findings of Pearson Product Moment Correlations revealed that life satisfaction is positively associated with religious rituals and maumalats at (p< .001 and p< .01 respectively). Multiple Hierarchal Regression Analysis showed that religious rituals and maumalats predict 29% variance on life satisfaction. The research has implementation that religiosity can play a vital role in life satisfaction of male and female college teachers.
Abstract-According to software quality models published usability is an important quality attribute to measure how usable and effective/useful is the software system. Concept of usability has been applied to improve the quality of software systems, human computer interaction, software process improvement, and software process descriptions. Over the years different usability models have been proposed listing the factors, criteria and metrics to measure the usability of software systems, software processes, and software process descriptions. Since usability evaluation is a difficult task varioususability evaluation methods (UEM) have been proposed to describe different processes for systematic and effective way for usability evaluation. Concept of usability can be applied to software engineering methodologies to find how usable and useful a methodology is for software engineers or software development organizations, and it can also be used by method engineers or meta-model developers for method engineering to improve the usability of software engineering methods. Usability models and Usability evaluation methods proposed for software systems cannot be applied directly to software engineering methodologies due to difference of domains, concepts, and end users. In this work a usability evaluation framework is proposed which comprises usability factors and their description, criteria and their description to measure factors, importance and grading of criteria fulfillment, guidelines to apply the framework and overall evaluation process.
