This qualitative study was designed to gather information, using focus groups, about Asian international students' experiences and attitudes toward Australian-New Zealanders, to identify the sources of these attitudes, and to discover methods that could address negative attitudes that Asian students might have towards Australian-New Zealanders students. Data were collected from 200 respondents by using simple random technique at the ratio of 100 respondents each (Asian, and Australian-New Zealander students). A well structured questionnaire was used as a tool to record the responses. This article also underlines perspectives for rethinking research strategies with Asian international students. It was revealed that Asians were "nice" and "friendly" and it was easy to develop friendships with them. Some students suggested that friendships were easier to form with Australian-New Zealanderss than with Asian students because Australian-New Zealanders seemed to be more curious about Asian cultures and expressed their emotions more openly and honestly. The participants agreed that Australian-New Zealanders were not all bad, as they were portrayed in the media.
Job satisfaction and leadership style has always been tested and correlated in the past to understand the impact of the leadership on the degree of job satisfaction of employees. Since the passage of time employee satisfaction has become a great aspect of organizational success, therefore, different theories of management and leadership have been proposed. In the recent contest, theory of leadership competencies has been developed that measures the different competencies of the managers and leaders. In the current study, three independent variables namely emotional quotient (EQ), intelligence quotient (IQ), and managerial quotient (MQ) are being tested on the employee’s job satisfaction level of PIA. Data was gathered by questionnaires and 212 responses were received. SPSS were applied for analysis of data and there is a confirming connection amid job satisfaction and the EQ, MQ, and IQ of PIA employees along with the positive relationship between the Leadership competencies (LC) and the job satisfaction and lastly the significant relationship between job satisfactions.
Students are seeking university education that may help them enter in the job markets and they are selecting universities which meet their own standards. The idea of economic self-sufficiency and commodification of higher education have also depicted students as fee paying customers and universities are switching from teacher-centered to student-centered approaches for attracting and retaining students. To explore the situation in local universities, the study investigated perceptions of students about frame factors and teaching process in terms of administrative frames, curriculum frames, teacher attributes, learning facilitation, and quality of feed-back as sub-scales. How students were viewing these factors; which factors were relatively stronger; which universities were performing better or otherwise; and what implications of these conditions educational leaders may face were the main questions answered in the study. A spectrum of 600 students taken 25 from each of the sample department of three public and two private universities of Lahore selected on 30% stratified random sampling technique constituted the sample. Data were collected through self-constructed survey scale which was found reliable at 0.9150 Cronbach's alpha. Principle Component Factor Analysis extracted five factors namely administrative frames, curriculum frames, teacher attributes, learning facilitation, and quality of feed-back. Mean scores and correlations were calculated for these sub-scales. One-Sample t-test, Independent samples t-test, and one-way ANOVA were employed for significance and variance analysis. The study concluded that students were not fully satisfied with the administrative frames, curriculum frames, teacher attributes, learning facilitation, and quality of feed-back available at sample universities. Teacher attributes were relatively stronger whereas quality of feed-back was at the lowest count. The situation in public universities was little better as compared with private sector universities. This situation reflects unsatisfactory performance of local universities in terms of administrative frames, curriculum frames, teacher attributes, learning facilitation, and quality of feed-back. Rigorous initiatives on the part of educational leaders to improve upon the situation included in the major recommendations.
