Research investigates the effects of privatization upon teachers' job security, salaries, and job satisfaction. Study includes a mixed-methods approach, combining survey data from 430 teachers with in-depth interviews of 25 teachers. The results reveal that educational privatization in Punjab presents uncertainties about teachers' job security and contractual terms, reduces their autonomy and creates financial stress. Thus, on the positive side, teachers experience improvements in resources and teaching environments. However, impact of privatization on the teachers' job satisfaction is complex, with a blend of positive & negative emotions. The study underlines the need for balanced approach in the privatization policies, recognizing the teachers' multifaceted experiences. The policymakers must ensure that teachers' well-being and economic stability are not compromised. Findings donate to understanding of the impact of privatization on teachers in a specific context and call for further research to explore long-term effects and the perspectives of other stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":503428,"journal":{"name":"December 2023","volume":" 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139141932","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}

Post-Soviet era, it served as a buffer against Russian influence. The abrupt U.S. withdrawal in August 2021 disrupted regional stability, allowing the terrorist groups like Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to thrive. Taliban, now in control, faces internal challenges with ISIS targeting both civilians and Taliban leadership. The Taliban's reluctance to confront other terrorist factions jeopardizes not only Afghan peace but also regional stability, impacting projects like OBOR & CPEC. The Afghanistan's instability directly affects neighboring Pakistan, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the internal Afghan security and Pakistan's peace. For enduring peace, concerted efforts from regional and international actors are imperative to address Afghanistan's internal security and stabilize the region.

These aspects are often influenced by locus of control (LOC), which enhances self-awareness & awareness of intrinsic capabilities. As LOC is a trait, knowing its links with PWB will illustrate the contribution of more permanent aspects of the personality in PWB. Most studies have not examined these important variables together. This research aims to bridge this knowledge gap and uncover predictive relationship between these factors and hypothesized that LOC would be correlated with to PWB. To conduct a cross-sectional survey a sample of 400 young adult participants from University of Karachi was drawn. Correlation that links LOC & various facets of psychological wellbeing is insignificant, except for correlation of internal LOC & personal growth, where there is slight negative correlation, as higher scores of the measure of LOC meant higher degrees of internal locus of control & vice versa. This result shows that the more external locus of control the more personal growth. This study sheds light on interesting perspective about the impact of perceived internal LOC on specific aspects of psychological well-being. These findings open new avenues for further research in this field.","PeriodicalId":503428,"journal":{"name":"December 2023","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139139966","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}

Peaceful/violence circumstances in Afghanistan have immense effect on Pakistan. Pakistan had to pay high cost of the war against terror in the Afghanistan. Despite extending of full cooperation to USA, Pakistan was identified as an untrustworthy state, as US blamed Pakistan that all the terrorists operating in Pakistan are the state sponsored terrorists. On the other hand, Pakistan as the US ally cannot be trustworthy for Taliban. During peace process, paradoxically US accepted Pakistan as a vital mediator between the Taliban and US. Pakistan remained US ally, whenever US needed. On other hand, Pakistan may have to pay heavy cost after US withdrawal. After Taliban take over, Pakistan has started to deliver humanitarian aid to Afghanistan & provided shelter to Afghan refugees.

Moreover, the study examines the mediating impact of EA between these resources and GI and the moderation impact of top management commitment (MC). In this regard, data were gathered from 315 managers of manufacturing firms in developing country. The study employs PLS-SEM to examine the relationships among the constructs. Thus, results provide significant information in reaching the conclusion and making decisions. The findings show that the SP and AGF are positively related to EA. The findings also confirmed the mediating role of EA between SP, AGF and GI. Moreover, the results confirmed the moderating role of MC between SP, AGF & EA.
