This investigation applies a quantitative research approach using panel data from a sample of Pakistan’s commercial banking institutions over timeframe limited from 2009 to 2020. The outcomes of mixed effect model visualize that there is inverse significant association among CSR disclosure ROE. Whereas no statistically significant linked in the context of short-term financial performance, by using a proxy of ROA. The results suggesting that the focus on CSR events and initiatives may have a detrimental effect on financial effectiveness. It is generally acknowledged that CSR offers numerous non-financial benefits, such as enhancing social media campaigns and luring ethical investors from both domestic and foreign markets. In developing countries context (i.e., Pakistan), we can conclude that the “cost of the CSR initiatives” and “shift of focus view” can affect the performance of banking industry. The lack of a positive correlation among corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance in the Pakistani financial services sector can be attributed to a lack of interest and engagement in socially conscious investing. These findings indicate that the adoption of socially responsible investment has not gained significant cultural traction in Pakistan. The results emphasize the importance of banks, regulators, and stakeholders reassessing the balance between social responsibility and financial performance, considering the possible negative consequences of revealing CSR initiatives.","PeriodicalId":437099,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Management and Business","volume":" 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140992545","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}

Work is an integral part of human life, where progress and productivity are more expected or demanded but an employee’s mental health is rarely considered a priority. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to highlight the significance of placing an organizational psychologist at the forefront of workplaces, to encourage the mutual wellbeing of individuals and organizations. \u0000Approach- This is a conceptual paper that builds upon a thorough review of existing conventional management theories to identify key cracks in knowledge about the importance of organizational psychologists to deal with a diverse range of social and behavioral issues within organizations considering common psychological safety at work. We start by conducting a content analysis of a few articles in the field that discuss the ‘why’ for organizational psychologists under work climate and continue with the strategies that can help organizations in reducing work-related stressors and improving social working conditions, and training. \u0000Findings- This study proposes a model that can be used to consider individual (employee) and situational (organizational) psychological wellness by underlining the direct interaction of organizational psychologists in managing human resources. The model of this study elucidates that collective wellbeing relies equally on organizational support teams (HR) and organizational psychologists through collective mindfulness. \u0000Originality/Value- Many studies are conducted in different countries with different perspectives of the organization and HR, where the role and importance of the organizational psychologist or psychologist in the organizations were highlighted, yet the concept is still blurry in Pakistan, and thus, this study is a novel contribution in a geographical context. \u0000Keywords- Psychology, Organizational psychologist, Employee wellbeing, Corporate wellness, Organizational development \u0000Paper type- Conceptual Paper","PeriodicalId":437099,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Management and Business","volume":" 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140991758","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}

These purchase decisions are a result of many factors which researchers have tried to study in the past. The objective of this study is to understand the green buying behaviour in Pakistan and examine the factors that affect this green buying behaviour. Some cognitive measures such as perceived consumer effectiveness, perceived environmental knowledge and green perceived value that play an important part in shaping attitudes are being studied. These attitudes then lead to behaviors according to the belief-attitude-behavior model on which this study is based. To discover how these beliefs and attitude affect green purchase behavior, a questionnaire is designed. Theory of Planned Behavior has been used in this study to understand and investigate the relation of different variables with green purchasing behaviour. The research findings indicated that an increase in knowledge of consumers regarding environmental issues resulted in them engaging in pro- environmental behavior. The findings were similar for effectiveness and perceived value measures although it was established that people gave more importance to quality and did not strongly feel that their individual actions played a major role in changing environmental conditions.","PeriodicalId":437099,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Management and Business","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122324565","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}

Color is an excellent medium for influencing consumer perceptions of a brand and shifting preferences. In the study, it was expected that color would have an impact on consumer purchasing decisions, that it might help people remember brands better, and that there might be differences in color preferences between men and women. The research also investigated whether the weather influenced customer purchasing decisions, as well as differences in color kinds and preferences and socio-cultural influences. To conduct the research, a self-made questionnaire was administered to a sample of 462 people (26 items). There was a considerable gender difference in Pakistani consumers' color choices, which suggests that color has a big impact on their purchasing decisions. Consumers' color preferences are influenced by a variety of factors, including cultural conventions and the weather. Customers' evolving requirements and desires are also linked to cultural, gendered, and personal preferences/differences in the paper's use of color psychology. Marketers/advertisers can use the findings of this study to increase consumer interest in their products/services by focusing on the power of color.","PeriodicalId":437099,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Management and Business","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124672375","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 main focus of the study is to report the empirical relationship among the antecedents of customer attitude and intention. This study follows the cross-sectional research design to conduct survey based on self-administered questionnaire. Using the cluster sampling followed by convenient sampling techniques, responses are collected from 400 respondents of district east in Karachi who are affiliated with diverse education, income and age group. The findings reported that value belief norm theory is successful in explaining the customer attitude regarding PET bottle exchange. This theory proves that PET bottles exchange attitude in individuals developed only when certain values, beliefs and personal norms are present. Further, the PET bottles exchange attitude explained significant variance for predicting customer PET bottle exchange intention. Moreover, the relationship between PET bottles exchange attitude is moderated by consumer knowledge and neutralization technique. Most of the research focused the operation and manufacturing side of supply chain. The customers are the key players in the supply chain especially in the reverse logistics. This study aimed to focus the role of customers in the reverse logistics of PET bottles in beverage industry of Pakistan with the Psychological parameters. The study identifies the need for policymakers and supply chain managers to actively advocate the environmental messages in their promotional campaigns in order to offset the effect of customer neutralization and enhance the customer knowledge regarding environmental friendly behavior.","PeriodicalId":437099,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Management and Business","volume":"293 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114084710","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}
