“…The major goal of the study was to establish whether there is a link between green (human resource management) practises and employee performance in small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) in Pakistan. The findings are consistent with prior study, which revealed that green HR practises have a substantial impact on employee commitment and satisfaction, which in turn leads to improved employee performance (Khan, Tufail & Ali, 2021). In addition, if the employees' green behaviour is taken into consideration throughout the recruiting process, it is more likely that the employees will exhibit green behaviour after being hired.…”

The research is explanatory about Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) and its Impact on Employee Performance in Pakistan's Small Medium Enterprise sector. PLS Software has been used for statistical research analysis, discriminant validity, loading factors, average variance executor, composite reliability, predictive value, and bootstrapping value from 308 small-medium enterprises (SME) employees. Data has taken as a questionnaire through Google form. The empirical study has explained the positive relationship of Green (HRM) to Employee Performance in SME sector. The previous studies have also determined about positive relation of these variables. Recruitment, training and reward have been selected and explained in research and have clear objectives of the investigation. The results showed a positive relationship between GHRM and employee performance. The finding of this paper has several implications for government officials and policy makers of SME sector to provide the framework to support employee green behavior.

Given the continuous population growth and climate change, water resources are becoming increasingly scarce. With the escalation of this water crisis, water management and governance have become essential concerns across policy agendas. Every country has a different regulatory system, policy framework, specific management requirements, institutional challenges, and capacity gaps concerning the administration of its water resources. The present study focuses on the policy frameworks and institutions for managing water resources in Pakistan at both provincial and federal levels. The paper analyzes water governance challenges and major hurdles regarding effective water management and the development of water resources in the country. A descriptive analysis of the country’s water management and water distribution between the federation and federating units is based on secondary data sources with a qualitative approach through a desk research method. While describing the underpinning issues and challenges of water governance and management in Pakistan, the study findings reveal that the country needs to adopt a collaborative approach towards water governance and management and capacitate the relevant institutions and stakeholders to perform their mandated tasks effectively to ensure a water-secure future for Pakistan. The study recommends launching mass awareness campaigns concerning efficient usage of water, adopting intelligent agriculture techniques, and fast-tracking the completion of new reservoirs while discouraging build-neglect-rebuild policies for the existing water infrastructure. The study also presents limitations and recommendations for future research.

“…Organizations must assess their information technology competencies regularly to retain their competitive advantage in the market (Peppard, Lambert, & Edwards, 2000). Information technologies help organizations to achieve competitive advantage in terms of innovation, quality, customer satisfaction, customer retention, employees commitment (Junaid, Bashir, Nasim, & Ahmad, 2021) and reduction of operating cost; and in turn, use these competitive advantages to increase organizational performance (Khan, Tufail, & Ali, 2021) that ultimately leads towards better financial performance.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of information technology competencies on financial performance, followed by organizational performance. The primary data collection technique was used to collect the data from 165 IT officers and top managers from Pakistan. Structural equation modelling was applied using Smart PLS 3 to examine the hypothesized model. The direct findings reveal that all three components of IT competencies are statistically significant in organizational performance. Among the three components, information technology infrastructure is the strongest predictor of organizational performance. Further, organizational performance is statistically significant in determining financial performance. There are no direct significant influences of IT competencies toward financial performance. Indirect results show that all three components of IT competencies are statistically significant. IT infrastructure is the strongest predictor of financial performance through organizational performance. Moreover, this study reveals that IT competencies are not merely sufficient to maintain financial performance. Additionally, the firm is also required to focus on complementary indicators such as innovation, quality, customer satisfaction, customer retention, and reduction of operating cost—which are generated by proper utilization of IT competencies.
