Flexible work arrangements and innovative work behavior
(UMT,Lahore, 2025) Aqsa Amjad
In the modern fast changing workplace, innovation is very important for the success of organizations, especially in the dynamic IT industry. Although the past studies have recognized the positive impacts of Flexible Work Arrangements (FWAs), little concern has been shown on how FWAs affect the ability of employees to innovate. Based on the Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this paper explains the effects of FWAs on Innovative Work Behavior (IWB), through the mediating effects of Individual Dynamic Capabilities (IDC). The research design presents and empirically establishes a conceptual model with three major constructs, that are FWAs, IDC, and IWB. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data among 260 employees working at different positions in IT companies, located in Lahore, Pakistan. This is confirmed by the analysis, performed in SPSS, Process Macros by Hayes, and Sobel Test, that there is a positive and significant correlation between FWAs and IWB. Furthermore, findings indicate that IDC partially mediates this connection indicating that FWAs not only enable employees to be more creative by providing them with autonomy but also dynamic capabilities in them, hence contributing to their innovative work behavior. This study contributes to the existing body of literature as it bridges the gap between flexible work arrangements and innovative work behavior by introducing Individual Dynamic Capabilities as a mediator in the relationship. It also has practical implications since it demonstrates how flexible work systems can foster innovation by developing personal capabilities. It will be helpful for organizational leaders interested in increasing the innovation and agility of the workforce in the flexible work context.

Theological seminary
(UMT,Lahore, 2018) Abeer obaid
Religious architecture has historically played a primary role in both the study and the development of architectural practices and theories. Undoubtedly, this influence is tied to the position which religious institutions have historically held in shaping cultural values. However, Christian culture has transitioned into a position where religious organizations are often no longer the primary authority for determining cultural, social, and interpersonal values for many Christians. Additionally many individuals have, for one reason or another, become uncomfortable or feel unwelcome in traditional church structures due to the historical hierarchies associated with them, the innate formality of the spaces, the perceptions of expected behaviors, or discomfort with language and interpretations of spirituality or religion. These changes have had a major impact on the economic and functional dynamics to which religious institutions must now adhere. While churches remain a venue for architectural expression, they no longer hold the position as the primary source for considering architectural culture; which has, for the most part, transitioned to museums, cultural, commercial, or office buildings. It is clear that the manner in which religious organizations operate and conduct themselves must therefore evolve in order to respond to these new forces, and so must the architecture which houses them. Only by adapting to these new pressures can these religious organizations hope to remain relevant and active in the changing cultural climate where religious institutions and religious individuals are often greeted with skepticism and suspicion
Impact of high-performance work system on individual performance
(UMT,Lahore , 2025) Uswa Amjad
High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS) are being regarded as crucial in influencing employee performance especially in the fast strategic changing industries like the information technology (IT). Simultaneously, the concept of digital transformation has emerged as one of the key pillars which could help organizations stay competitive in the world of technologies. Using the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) theory, the research study has examined the direct and indirect routes where HPWS affects individual performance, where digital change is used as an intermediary. A structured questionnaire was also administered to a sample of 250, and the results were analyzed using SPSS and Hayes PROCESS macro in order to investigate the hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that HPWS have a tremendous impact on individual performance directly and indirectly through digital change. Particularly, HR practices that empower employees, allow them to feel more motivated to perform and or provide them opportunities to perform in the long term improve the ability, drive, and prospective of the employees to deliver their best possible work, as well as enable them, in the long run, to embrace and apply digitalized tools. The mediating analysis also discovered that digital transformation alone partially mediates the correlation between HPWS and performance as employees who can be assisted through competent HR practices can more readily adapt to changes in technology, which would enhance creativity, flexibility, and overall efficiency. Theoretically, the combination of HPWS and digital transformation is needed to achieve resiliency, innovation, and long-term success in the IT industry overall, according to this research.
