    Dark triad, self-concept, and moral disengagement in young adults
    (UMT, Lahore, 2025) Roshaan Shafiq; Sarooj Farooq; Alishba Jamil; Malaika Qamar
    This study aims to find out the correlation between dark triad, self-concept, and moral disengagement. For this purpose, a sample of 300 young adults aged 18-26 was selected through a purposive sampling technique. The participants from joint and nuclear family systems were included in this study. The measures, including the Short Dark Triad, the Self-concept Questionnaire, and the Moral Disengagement Scale, were used in this study. Correlation analysis showed a strong positive correlation between the dark triad and moral disengagement. It suggests that individuals who exhibit higher levels of socially aversive personality traits such as narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy are more likely to engage in mechanisms of moral disengagement, such as justifying or minimizing unethical behavior. However, self- concept and moral disengagement showed a negative correlation, as the individuals with a lower perception of self-worth or personal identity are slightly more prone to disengage morally. The hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that demographic variables (gender, family system, occupation, marital status, birth order, and education) explained a small portion of variance in self-concept, with gender and marital status emerging as significant predictors. When psychological factors were added, moral disengagement was found to be a significant negative predictor of self-concept, whereas dark triad traits showed no significant effect. This study will seek to fill the gaps that are still present in existing literature.

    Eco-conscious banking strategies and environmental performance of pakistani banks
    (UMT.Lahore, 2025) Alishba Jamil
    This research shows how GBA is influencing Green Financing and Banks Environmental Performance. On the base of Institutional Theory, the study is looking how banks internal system is influencing sustainability and financial outcomes. To capture this green banking activities are studies across four dimensions: rank related practices, Bank operational related practices, Bank Customer related practices, and Bank personal related practices. Together these dimensions reflect how Bank embed environmental awareness in their daily operations policies, employee development, and interaction with customers. The study develops and tests several hypotheses to evaluate how these practices influence the flow of green financing and, ultimately, the environmental performance of banks. A quantitative research design was adopted, incorporating both primary and secondary data collected from selected commercial banks. Green financing was analyzed as a mediator, showcasing how internal eco-conscious practices translate into environmentally supportive financial mechanisms such as eco-loans, sustainable investments, and renewable energy financing. To ensure robust findings, the study controlled for bank size (using total assets) and profitability (measured by return on assets—ROA), allowing for a more accurate assessment of intentional green strategies over institutional scale or financial leverage. The results demonstrate that Green Banking Activities have a significant positive effect on the sources of green finance, which in turn enhance banks’ environmental sustainability performance.
