{"title":"Exploring Innovation, Creativity, and Employment in Public Universities of Afghanistan","authors":"Ziarahman Amani, Sarwanaaz Sarmashq","doi":"10.32996/ijaas.2024.3.1.9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32996/ijaas.2024.3.1.9","url":null,"abstract":"This article focuses on the concepts and basics of innovation, creativity, and employment in universities. Creativity, in general, means the ability to combine ideas in a unique way or create an unusual connection between ideas. Some people believe that creativity is innate; others believe that every person can become creative through education. Creativity means offering new ideas and plans to improve the quantity and quality of university activities, which is very effective and useful. For example, increasing productivity, increasing products or services, reducing costs, promoting products or services in a better way, creating new products or services, etc. Universities are the place of innovation, creativity, and employment. From here, with creative thought, a person determines and defines his future job. The findings indicated that universities should not only be a place to finish education and get a diploma but should be a place to create artistic and professional jobs for people and their communities, and therefore, to research such ideals, it is the university that should make people own professions and arts. The slogan of the universities should be good education and better jobs, and prove this through the presence of innovative and creative people. In universities, there is hope for a better tomorrow with a good perspective and practical, scientific, sustainable, and considered steps that will be taken, and this is only possible through the existence of scientific, innovative, and creative people. Every type of innovation and creativity that will produce a job tomorrow should be supported in universities; even if a person writes a new and original article about a good scientific topic and has a useful idea about it, praise and encourage the person.","PeriodicalId":474497,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asian and African Studies","volume":"115 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141363030","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 most obvious feature of this country is its various natural and human phenomena, and the history of this country, under the impact of geography, has passed wonderful events. The causes of forming this country are geography, race, ethnicity, the role of government, culture, history, threats, government power, the role of people, the impact of religion, language, and loving country. In the time of forming Afghanistan, Pashtons nations constantly ruled this country and the power was concentrated in the hands of (Dorani, Ghalzaei, Barekzai, etc.). The developments in the last four decades, especially after the defeat of the Soviet Union and the forming of the Islamic Mujahideen Government, caused other nations to contribute to the power structure of the government, such as “Tajik, Hazara, Ozbek” besides the Pashtoons. The Pashtoons, because of their 250 years of presence in power, were not satisfied with the presence of other nations. This is why political systems in Afghanistan are unstable, fragile and weak, especially since this country is one of the few countries which have experienced various political systems contributing monarchy system, royal-republic, communist regime, Mujahideen government, Islamic government, Islamic Emirate of Taliban and the secular-liberal regime. The current descriptive-analytic study used different sources such as books, scientific journals, theses, reports and internet sources. In total, these factors are the main reasons: homeland and geographical location, culture, history, religion, language, the role of people, government, loving hometown, loving country, national threats, race and nationality. Finally, the factors of the political thought of government, the space structure of Afghanistan, the military, the role of organizations, the national economy, equality of geographical and social, media and national symbols are the superstructure of Afghanistan's survival.","PeriodicalId":474497,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asian and African Studies","volume":"10 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139380441","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}
