For the assessment of proposed link data from 379 healthcare professionals working in public sector hospitals. The outcomes of the study disclosed that training and development have a considerable influence on adaptive performance and contextual performance. Likewise, nepotism and favoritism mediate the link between training and development, adaptive performance, and contextual performance. Therefore, results portray that during executing the training and development practices management must be cautious to timely organize the programs as per the needs of employees as it eventually affects the employee's performance. Additionally, the existing study is of worth for the managers who manage human resources of the hospital to frame a strategy to rheostat this phenomenon in the organization as it eventually determines the performance of an employee.

Purpose: This paper basically aims at exploring and investigating the impact of factors including career growth opportunities, workplace environment, managerial support, rewards & recognition system , and work-life balance on 'turnover intention' of teachers, in Bahria Schools and Colleges at Karachi. For the sake of ascertaining influence of these factors on employee turnover intention, six Bahria Schools and Colleges at Karachi were chosen. Methodology: By adopting a quantitative approach, views of 120 respondents (both male & female) were obtained with the help of a well structured questionnaire. The data were treated by applying correlation and regression analysis tools with the help of SPSS software, version 22. Findings: The results indicated that all five factors were negatively related with teachers' turnover intention. However, impact of work-life balance was not insignificant. Similarly, results of the female employees varied from those of the male respondents. Male employees were comparatively less concerned about the issues related to work-life balance as compared to their female counterparts. Since all independent variables, if suitably practiced, also lead to employee satisfaction, the study clearly reflected the inverse relationship between employee satisfaction and turnover intention. Implications: This study can help the management of Bahria Schools and Colleges to understand the factors responsible for employee turnover intention. By paying due attention towards the identified factors, the Bahria Schools and Colleges can significantly enhance the motivation level of teachers, thereby reducing their turnover intention. The study is considered equally useful for other Schools and Colleges. In the end, future researchers have been advised to further explore the likely contribution of other factors towards employee satisfaction and reduced turnover intention.

Purpose: The central point of this study was to demonstrate the similarity and difference of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices amongst the countries in South Asia. Through this paper, an in-depth study was undertaken to evaluate the validity of existing HRM practices in South Asian (SA) countries. An effort was made to examine the influences from the economic emergence in South Asia, force of colonization, historical panorama, cultural similarities and dissimilarities, legal, economic and political factors causing the change. Methodology/Sampling: The study is based on secondary data collected through extensive research on present and past literature available on the topic. Findings: HRM is in a reforming process towards the development of organizational transformation in South Asia. In addition, contextual and contingency factors are determining the outcome of restructuring HRM practices in South Asia, identified as FDI, foreign MNCs' influence, and bilateral relations amongst the SAARC members. Practical Implications: Due to cultural impediments, organizations are finding it difficult to implement modern HRM practices in true letter and spirit. This study may draw some lessons for development and collaboration of novel opportunity of SAARC industries' HRM practices in South Asia.

Purpose: This paper aims to show the effects of organizational climate, including perceived organizational support and supervisory support on employees' service quality in the context of Foreign Tobacco Company of Bangladesh. Methodology/Sampling: A total of 175 questionnaires were distributed among the respondents using non-probability, convenience sampling technique. Out of these, only 120 questionnaires were found suitable for data treatment. The data was treated with the help of software SPSS 20, applying correlation and linear regression analysis tools for testing the hypotheses. Findings: The study established that there was a positive relationship of employee service quality with independent variables i.e. perceived organizational support, supervisory support and organizational climate. It also explained the extent to which the employees perceived their service quality in context of organizational climate and also the support they got from the firm. The study also identified some important areas that need further improvement in the service quality of employees. Practical Implications: Findings of the study clearly indicate that in order to get better service from the employees, Foreign Tobacco Company needs to be more considerate by focusing on employees' problems, needs and accordingly provide them adequate support to mitigate their problems. The results also indicate that service quality of the employees is highly influenced by the organizational climate, supervisory support and organizational support. The managers at various tiers may seek help from the findings and render maximum possible support to the employees to enhance their commitment and loyalty.

The presence of nepotism and favoritism during the execution of recruitment selection has now become a major concern for both developed and developing countries. Based on social exchange theory a framework was established to evaluate contextual performance, adaptive performance, and task performance as a result of recruitment and selection practice in an organization. Besides, the study also investigated the effect of nepotism and favoritism as a mediating variable between recruitment and selection, contextual performance, adaptive performance, and task performance. Moreover, data from 384 respondents working in the tertiary care hospitals in Pakistan were congregated and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results of the study reveal that recruitment and selection have a substantial impact on contextual performance, adaptive performance, and task performance. Consistently, the mediation effect was established. Furthermore, the current study is of significance for the HR managers of the hospital to formulate strategies to overcome this phenomenon particularly in the recruitment & selection process which in the end affects the healthcare employee's performance.
