    (UMT.Lahore, 2015) Maham Shahid
    The study has aimed at examining the impact of organizational citizenship behavior of university teachers as a possible mediator between paternalistic leadership style of supervisors and overall effectiveness of the educational institute. Since, Pakistan is a developing county, and to advance towards a developed country, education needs to be in major and vital focus. Top 10 universities, chosen from the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan’s current list, were investigated. Positivist approach is used for the study as it aimed at fact based analysis. Questionnaire (carrying 46 questions: 12 for PL, 4 for OCB and 30 for OE) was administered by adopting measures already used in different studies for respective variables. Pal Scale was distributed to the faculty members of the universities (N=322), reporting about their supervisor’s leadership style. Moreover, employees were told to address about their extra-role behavior, i.e. organizational citizenship behavior, by using the scale developed by Welbourne, Johnson and Erez. In addition to this, employees evaluated the overall effectiveness by using the organizational effectiveness scale for Higher Education Institutes of Kwan and Walker.

    Strategic orientations and organizational types: a theoretical link
    (Publishing India, 2013) Syed Shahid Hussain; Sarwar M. Azhar; Maham Shahid
    The aim of this study is to explore the extant literature with respect to the effect of organisational types on SO-performance relationship. The type of an organisation is a mental model or metaphorical representation manifested through the structural characteristics such as systems, processes, nature of business and workforce. It is also manifested through values, norms, shared vision (known as culture) and strategic orientations. Authors of this study therefore firmly believe and propose a significant connection between type of organisation and SO-performance relationship. The paper discusses this conceptual link through the review of literature systematically based on last three years research publications i.e. 2010-2012. Firstly, authors highlight the existence of SO-performance relationships and then purport the links between frequently cited SOs and organisational types. The study concludes with several propositions based on a theoretical framework and provokes attention of future researchers towards this crucial issue.
