One crucial aspect of a PMO is its ability to incorporate the principles of sustainability within its process framework. By considering sustainability, the PMO ensures that project requirements are met in a way that minimizes the need for rework and promotes environmentally and socially responsible practices. This alignment with sustainability principles contributes to the long-term success and positive impact of projects. A well-established PMO plays a vital role in preventing project failures by addressing challenges. Scope creep refers to uncontrolled changes or additions to the project scope and a failure to meet project objectives. The PMO helps manage scope by establishing clear processes for scope change control and ensuring that changes are properly evaluated, approved, and incorporated into the project plan.","PeriodicalId":35504,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Economics Review","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84503984","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}

In Pakistan, the IBF industry moves forward to be more competitive and sophisticated. Therefore, there is a need to explore the employability skills, which the IBF employers mainly require from the new Islamic finance graduates. This study examines the viability of employability skills for the employment of Islamic bank graduates in Pakistan. A quantitative method was adopted to collect data from 120 respondents using a self-administered questionnaire. The findings of the factor analysis suggested five variables deemed to be relevant in IBF graduates' employability skills for Islamic banks which are communication, interpersonal, technical, social, and subject knowledge skills. This study attempts to obtain the employer's perspective that will be used to refine and strengthen the existing skills, knowledge, and course structure in academia.","PeriodicalId":35504,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Economics Review","volume":"165 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73524544","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}

The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, and the data were collected from 384 teachers using a structured questionnaire. The results of the study indicate that QWL and OC are positively correlated, and supportive leadership plays a mediating role in this relationship. The findings suggest that enhancing QWL and developing Supportive leadership can increase the OC of teachers in WFHGS, leading to a more committed and engaged workforce. The study contributes to the understanding of the importance of QWL and supportive leadership in the educational sector and provides insights for managers and policymakers to improve the work environment and foster greater commitment among teachers.","PeriodicalId":35504,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Economics Review","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88372133","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}

There is much research on the association between financial stability/fragility and banking competition in developed countries. However, no prior research examines the comparison of conventional and Islamic banks. The study uses data from nine countries Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq and Jorden for the period 2010-2020. This study uses a fixed effects model to examine the influence of competition and income diversity on bank financial stability. We study how these variables affect Islamic and conventional banks differently using an empirical framework. Our findings show a considerable positive association between competition and conventional banks' financial stability; however, this relationship was found to be insignificant for Islamic banks. Furthermore, according to our research, the diversification of income has a positive impact on the financial well-being of both Islamic and conventional banks. Our study highlights the significance of fostering trustworthy competition within the banking sector to enhance overall financial stability. Furthermore, our findings indicate that promoting healthy competition in the industry can contribute to the improvement of financial stability.","PeriodicalId":35504,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Economics Review","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90391756","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}
