The Influence of High-Performance Work Systems on Employee Innovative Behavior
(UMT,Lahore, 2025) Aman Saleem
The objectives of this study are to examine the effects of High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS) on Employee Innovative Behavior (EIB), considering Emotional Intelligence (EI) as a mediating variable, and Organizational Identification (OI) as a moderating variable. Grounded in Social Exchange Theory (SET) (Blau, 1964), the study explores how strategic human resource practices influence workplace innovation through emotional and psychological mechanisms in Pakistan’s IT industry. Data were collected from a purposive sample of 250 employees from IT companies in Lahore using a quantitative, cross-sectional design. Self-report questionnaires were employed, which were analyzed using SPSS and the PROCESS macro by Hayes (2022), specifically Models 4 and 7 to test mediation and moderated mediation. Results revealed that HPWS positively affect both EI and EIB, with EI emerging as a significant predictor of EIB. Moreover, EI partially mediated the relationship between HPWS and EIB, highlighting its importance as a key psychological mechanism through which HR practices foster innovation. Contrary to expectations, OI did not significantly moderate the relationship between HPWS and EI, nor the indirect effect of HPWS on EIB via EI. These findings underscore EI’s central role in translating supportive HR practices into innovative outcomes, while suggesting that OI may not universally act as a boundary condition. The study contributes to SET by clarifying the psychological pathways of innovation and provides practical insights for HR professionals to increase employee emotional competencies. Limitations of the cross-sectional design and contextual specificity are acknowledged, sample specificity are acknowledged, with recommendations for future research
Children hospial design
(UMT,Lahore, 2018) SALMAN JAMIL
The Study of man and his nature shows that the desire for a healthy body and mind ranks his among his basic instincts, along with shelter, protection and desire for food, the process of which starts from his very childhood.
Hence it becomes important to design spaces for children where they need it most i.e. In times of distress, pain and injury to aid in their mental processes of growth, reasoning etc. To eventually become bright human beings and contributing factors to the society.
Automotive Hall of Distinction
(UMT,Lahore, 2018) Sheikh waqar mahmood
A museum is an important type in the palette of public buildings. Most famous and iconic museums are mainly dedicated to house art works, or historical and cultural artifacts. Aside from the sheltering of the artifacts, museums often are landmarks, which contribute to the identity of a place. While the Automobile museum is built to exhibit and protect the vehicles involved in any historical event, political identity, icon of the industry, economy showcase etc. Auto industry is referred to as “industry of industries” in the developed world. Pakistan is among the select few group of 40 countries who manufacture automobiles. The auto industry of many regional countries has played a pivotal role in transforming those countries into economic tigers. Unfortunately the pace of this happening in Pakistan has been very slow. This study is focused to boost the interest of the people toward the automobile industry through the educational automobile museum. In Islamic state of Pakistan almost every type of museum is present Arts and Craft museum, National Heritage museum, Archaeological and Historical museum, Biographical museum, Judicial museum, Military museum, Money museum, Science and Technology museum and Transport museum (railway), but not Automobile museum. Even there is no such activity in by parts which educates the people about the automobile. There is no such structure in Pakistan which displays the Automobile History, Automobile Technology, Automobile Library, properly designed Automobile Expo, Automobile launch events and a research center for Mechanical advancements in the automobile technology to educate people about the car tech and repair. V This study proposed an Automobile museum in Pakistan to secure, restore, protect and exhibit the cars involved in above mentioned events under one roof, for public exhibition as well as tourism attraction. The museum will be run in the collaboration of all the automobile manufacturers of Pakistan, thus there is no ticketing for museum. The Museum is divided into two parts, one for the historical evolution of the automobile and the other for the political identity or icon of the country. The museum will be run in the collaboration of all the automobile manufacturers of Pakistan, thus there is no ticketing for museum. The Museum is divided into two parts, one for the historical evolution of the automobile and the other for the political identity or icon of the country. As there is no ticketing on the museum thus for revenue, support areas like Automobile Expo Center, Automobile launching ceremony event complex, Classic cars sale or rent, Restaurant, are provided which will compensate the expense of the educational automobile historical museum
The Influence of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems on Female Entrepreneurial Intentions
(UMT,Lahore, 2025) Shanzay Irfan
This study investigates at the influence of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, on entrepreneurial intentions in pakistani women, with a focus on the mediating effects of entrepreneurial passion and moderating effects of the internal locus of control. Based on the theories of social cognitive theory, dualistic model of passion, and locus of control theory, the research utilized a quantitative cross-sectional survey of 300 women, who practiced or wanted to become an entrepreneur. The descriptive findings suggest that the perceived ees, eps, and eis are high (m = 6.84, sd = 0.14), as well as, the perceived locs (m = 5.83, sd = 0.09). Correlation analysis indicates that there are strong relationships between loc-ep (r =.979), loc-ei (r =.945) and ep ei(r=.944). Results of regression analysis with ee as the independent variable, ep as the dependent variables, and the ei as a dependent variables calculated the results of regression as the following: ee is a significant predictor of epc (b = 0.6937, p =.001), and ep is a significant predictor of ei (b = 0.1720, p =.020). Direct impact of eec on eic does not matter (b = 0.0334, p =.274), which is the confirmation of the influence indirectly through passion. The ep-ei relationship is very moderating with the level of ep-ei relationship increasing with the level of loc which is low (b = 0.3261), middle (b = 0.3775), and high (b = 0.4271). The moderated mediation index is important (0.0445; 95% ci 0.0217 0.0721), and the ecosystem effects are found to be stronger among women who have greater internal control beliefs. The results reveal the pivotal role of passion and psychological empowerment in the capability of supporting the system to become an entrepreneur through changes in enthusiasm, suggesting implications on gender-sensitive policy and entrepreneurial development interventions
Civic center
(UMT,Lahore, 2018) Malik Ahmed Murtaza
The thesis project proposes to explore into the design possibilities for the Civic Center for Bahria town Lahore and extract the richness of the site conditions into architecture through means of computational design. The computational design approach will provide a degree of variance which will be an interesting thing to explore in terms of defining spaces, program and systems. The design would hinge on to one of the major centers of Lahore and aim to enhance social permeability through means of forms and articulation of spaces. It would cater to all classes of people and help in promoting small local businesses thereby weaving into the social and cultural fabric of Pakistan
