The moderating role of Trait Anxiety between Despotic Leadership and employees Performance is also considered. Data were collected from employees’ and their supervisors in different project-based organizations from Islamabad Rawalpindi Pakistan. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the distinctiveness of variables used in the study. The results of the analysis showed that Despotic Leadership enhances Employee’s Performance in the workplace, while Anger Rumination mediates the relationship of Despotic Leadership on Employee’s Performance. This study contributes to the leadership literature; since limited attention was paid to the role of despotic leadership as a predictor of employee’s performance indirectly through Anger rumination and trait anxiety at workplace, in the perspective of Affective Event Theory. Implications of the study are also discussed.</p> 2024-12-12T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 JCMS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jcms/article/view/2661 Impact of Work from Home on Work Family Conflicts and Employee Engagement 2024-12-12T08:02:43+00:00 Shahrukh Abbas srukhabbas@gmail.com <p>This study explores the impact of work-from-home (WFH) practices on work-family conflicts (WFC) and employee engagement (EE), with a focus on the mediating role of work-life balance (WLB). Drawing on data from 104 respondents, the research investigates the dynamics between WFH arrangements and their implications for organizational and employee well-being. Key findings reveal that WFH has a significant positive relationship with WFC, while the direct link between WFH and EE is statistically insignificant. However, WLB fully mediates the relationship between WFH and EE, emphasizing the importance of achieving a harmonious balance between professional and personal responsibilities. The study underscores the need for organizations to adopt supportive policies that promote WLB, mitigate WFC, and enhance employee productivity and satisfaction. These insights contribute to the development of sustainable remote work practices that prioritize employee well-being and organizational success.</p> 2024-12-12T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 JCMS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jcms/article/view/2662 Impact of HRM on Organization Growth 2024-12-12T09:36:14+00:00 Hamza Shahid Sarwar iamhamza004@gmail.com <p>Human resource management (HRM) has become increasingly popular in the last few years and is now a common function for nearly all larger companies and many smaller ones. One and every reason behind this consistency is that the belief that HRM can be a strategic benefit source that can greatly affect the outcomes and efficiency of the organization. The study offers a more in-depth look at the possible connection of HRM to success. The key plans behind the M-value hypothesis of the time unit were that HR activities influence the perceptions and actions of the workers, as everything influences organizational efficiency, such as profitability, consistency and creativity, as successively has a positive effect on monetary and your business results. An enormous volume of scientific data confirms such a favorable association regarding HRM and the success of the companies. Nevertheless, there are still commentators focusing on the shortcomings of the approach in analysis. Management of human capital is an important task for both private and public sector organizations. The procedure tackles many organizational priorities such as recruiting, supplying the employee with appropriate preparation, hiring the employee, reviewing the employee, encouraging and establishing a good partnership with the employee and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the workers within the company by legislation established by the state and nation concerned. Managing human capital is a mechanism in which the organization’s small professional staff is employed. The key intensions allow good use of the organization’s available human capital.&nbsp;</p> 2024-12-12T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 JCMS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jcms/article/view/2663 Impact of Environmental Responsibility and Environmental Knowledge on Green Consumption Intention: A Mediated-Moderation Analysis 2024-12-12T09:47:17+00:00 Muhammad Wasim waseemkhan634@yahoo.com <p>This study was aimed at examining the impact of environmental responsibility and environmental knowledge on green consumption intention with the mediating role of environmental concern and the moderating role of green product availability in the relationship between environmental concern and green consumption intention. The current studies on the factors influencing green consumption have greatly advanced in the past few years. However, limited efforts have been undertaken to examine the influence of consumer’s environmental responsibility and environmental knowledge on green consumption intention and the manner in which this relationship is explained through the lens of environmental concern and green product availability especially when the consumers are becoming more environmentally aware and are depicting an increased willingness to buy green products. For this purpose, a questionnaire method was used to obtain data from 328 Pakistani consumers of green cosmetic and personal care products. A PLS-SEM technique was applied to assess the validity of the research hypotheses. The results indicate that environmental responsibility has a positive effect on environmental concern and green consumption intention. Environmental knowledge does not have any significant impact on green consumption intention. However, environmental knowledge has a positive effect on environmental concern and environmental concerns mediates the relationship between environmental responsibility, environmental knowledge and green consumption intention. Moreover, it was observed that green product availability does not moderate the relationship between environmental concern and green consumption intention. The theoretical and managerial implications along with limitations and future research directions have also been discussed.</p> 2024-12-12T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 JCMS https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jcms/article/view/2664 Impact of Fintech on Operational Risk and Corporate Governance in Pakistani Banks 2024-12-12T09:55:22+00:00 Kamran Shahid ocean2three@gmail.com <p>The rise of financial technology (Fintech) has revolutionized the banking sector globally.&nbsp; This study investigates the impact of Fintech adoption on operational risk and corporate governance practices in Pakistani banks.&nbsp; Pakistan's banking sector is experiencing a surge in Fintech innovation, and understanding the associated risks and governance considerations is crucial for sustainable growth.
