Absence of political stability has led to constant changes in forms of governments in Pakistan throughout its history. Whether a system of government is directly linked with the economic implications  is  undecided?  This  research  paper  aims  to  find  the answer  by  examining  how  a  system  of  government  impacts  the performance  of  an  economy  in  a  country.  The  primary  aim  of  this paper  was  to  analyze  the  economic  implications  for  Pakistan  via comparative  study  of  parliamentary  and  presidential  systems  of governments.  Pakistan  has  one  of  the  lowest  per  capita  income economies  and  trade-to-GDP  ratios  showing  at  just  30  per  cent according to a recent report published by Asian Development Bank. However, it is not all doom and gloom and the country has a lot of room  for  improvement.  Therefore,  this  paper  fills  this  gap  and examines which system of government can help the economic system to flourish more through a comparative study of parliamentary and presidential   form   of   government.   The   paper   provides   new perspectives  into  assessing  presidential  and  parliamentary  systems and  their  role  in  economic  development  of  Pakistan.  The  study proposes  how  economic  development  can  be  achieved  under  a democratic system.","PeriodicalId":270163,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics, Management & Business Administration","volume":"251 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115610994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research is carried out with a main objective to find out  the  impact  of  micro  loan  on  women’s  livelihood  in  Manmunai North  division  of  Batticaloa  district.  In  this  study,  a  sample  of  150 women  from  Manmunai  North  division  who  have  been  engaged  in microfinance activities for at least 5 years. In this study, we considered Microcredit as an independent variable and Livelihood as a dependent variable.  There are four independent variables as repayment, lending, interest rate, time and four dependent variables as poverty, education, saving, family size which are used to examine the percentage analysis on the basic background of women’s livelihood. The study has covered primary data and analyzed the data by women’s descriptive statistics, correlation   and   regression   models.   Correlation   and  regression analysis  is  used  to  find  out  the  relationship  and  strength  between microcredit  and  women  livelihood.  According  to  the  results  of regression coefficient it presented the specification of four variables (lending,  repayment,  interest  rate,  time)  and  reveled  the  ability  to predict decision-making (R2=0.164). The respective R2 value is 0.164 denotes that 16% of the observed variability in women’s livelihood can be  explained  by  the  differences  in  all  independent  variables.  The finding of the research is both variables have a positive coefficient, which  means  microcredit  increases  with  the  increasing  level  of interest rate and repayment.","PeriodicalId":270163,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics, Management & Business Administration","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129331332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"How to Improve Productivity through a Goal-Oriented Approach?","authors":"Waqar Ali, Waqas Ali","doi":"10.59075/jemba.v1i1.64","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59075/jemba.v1i1.64","url":null,"abstract":"Background:    The    traditional    management    procedures    of organisations  fail  to  impart  the  motivation  among  employees  to exceed  their  productive  capacities  in  today's  information-based work mode environment. In this regard, the goal orientation theory proposes  that  individuals  pursue  two  unique  types  of  objectives, namely, learning and performance goals. The relationship between goal orientation and performance in various organisational contexts has been studied extensively. Method:   The   recent   study   was   conducted   by   following   the procedures  of  interpretivism  and  inductive  approach.  Qualitative research was carried out to gather data from various human views and perspectives such that semi-structured interviews were carried out to examine the role of goal-oriented approach for productivity. Convenience  sampling  was  used  to  conduct  interviews  from  10 managers and the data was analysed using the method of thematic analysis. Findings:  According  to  the  findings  of  the  study,  a  goal-oriented strategy is seen to be one that only focuses on matching business goals  with  individual  ambitions.  Furthermore,  it  should  be  noted that not everyone is in favour of employing this strategy if it is not mandated    by    the    organisation.    Employee's    productivity    is inextricably  linked  to  their  goal  orientation.  Employees  that  are oriented on a certain goal develop tunnel vision, which is good for avoiding hyper-fixation on problems. Individual learning motivation is commonly used to students in terms of creating short-term and long-term goals. Recommendations  for  Further  Research:  In  the  future,  it  is suggested that the researcher do research employing a quantitative analytic technique. Furthermore, data gathering in the future can be done in numerical format, allowing for surveys of a large population with  findings  presented  in  the  form  of  tables  and  figures.  The researcher  should  also  do  a  comparison  examination  of  the  two organisations that utilise goal-oriented techniques.","PeriodicalId":270163,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics, Management & Business Administration","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114953687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
