Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of two person-environment fit perspectives (person-job fit and person-organization fit) on innovative work behavior through innovation trust and found that innovative work behaviour was positively related to an employee's job performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship of the conflicts and employee performance, mediating role of empowerment and moderating role in higher education institutions in Pakistan, they used a likert scale questionnaire for the data collection.
Abstract: Higher Education Institutions in Pakistan are consistently witnessing increased level of conflicts among employee. This increase significantly impact culture of the higher education Institutions. Culture is driving force for the organizations behavior. Literature indicated the importance of organization culture for reshaping employee work practices, provide empowerment. Organizations are becoming more culturally diverse, mainly because of their operations diversity. Empowerment may affect the performance of the employee. Current study aims to investigate the relationship of the conflicts and employee performance, mediating role of empowerment and moderating role of organization culture. A Random sample of 100 employees from Higher Education institutions was selected. Study used a likert scale questionnaire for the data collection. Result revealed that there is a negative relationship of the employee conflicts and employee performance and empowerment moderates the relationship while organization plays a moderating role. Study is useful for the HEI’s top management to understand the factors that lower employee performance.

TL;DR: A method for selecting events with densely populated narrow regions or spikes in a given data sample is discussed in this article, where the results reveal that a systematic study of particle density fluctuations, if carried out in terms of scaled factorial moments, would be useful in identifying events with large dynamical fluctuations.
Abstract: A method for selecting events with densely populated narrow regions or spikes in a given data sample is discussed. Applying this method to 200 A GeV/c 32S-AgBr and 32S-Gold collision data, a few events having "hot regions" are chosen for further analysis. The finding reveals that a systematic study of particle density fluctuations, if carried out in terms of scaled factorial moments, and the results are compared with those for the analysis of correlation free Monte Carlo events, would be useful in identifying events with large dynamical fluctuations. Formation of clusters or jet-like structure in multihadronic final states in the selected spiky events is also looked into and compared with the predictions of AMPT and independent emission hypothesis models by carrying out Monte Carlo simulation. The findings suggest that clustering or jet-like algorithm adopted in the present study may also serve as an important tool for triggering different classes of events.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of voids on phase space bin width is examined in terms of two lowest moments of event-by-event fluctuations of void, and the scaling exponent estimated from the observed power-law behavior of the voids may be used to characterize the various properties of hadronic phase transition.
Abstract: Event-by-event fluctuations (ebe) of hadronic patterns are investigated in terms of voids by analyzing the experimental data on 4.5, 14.5 and 60A GeV/c 16O-AgBr collisions. The findings are compared with the predictions of a multi-phase transport AMPT model. Dependence of voids on phase space bin width is examined in terms of two lowest moments of event-by-event fluctuations of voids, and Sq. The findings reveal that scaling exponent estimated from the observed power-law behavior of the voids may be used to characterize the various properties of hadronic phase transition. The results also rule out occurrence of 2nd order quark-hadron phase transition at the projectile energies considered.

TL;DR: The experiment was planted in randomized complete block design with three replications at Barani Agricultural Research Station, Kohat during 2013-14 and data were recorded on days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, tillers m -2 and grain yield as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Development of superior crop varieties is the prime objectives of all plant breeding programs. Fourteen bread wheat lines selected from 20 th Semi Arid Wheat Yield Trials received from CIMMYT-Mexico. The experiment was planted in randomized complete block design with three replications at Barani Agricultural Research Station, Kohat during 2013-14. Data were recorded on days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, tillers m -2 and grain yield. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among genotypes for all the traits studied. Seven entries viz. E-304 (4033 kg ha -1 ), E-311 (4844 kg ha -1 ), E-314 (4222 kg ha -1 ), E-325 (3889 kg ha 1 ), E-360 (4456 kg ha -1 ), E-384 (4533 kg ha -1 ) and E-388 (4300 kg ha -1 ) out yielded check cultivar KT-2010 (1455 kg ha -1 ) and will forwarded for multi-location testing to be released as
