“…The relationship between strategy and performance among micro and small enterprises in Ghana is examined by Agyapong, Zamore, and Mensah (2019). They find that in a dynamic environment, a cost-leadership strategy may enhance performance, while a differentiation strategy may have the opposite effect (Agyapong et al,201 The examination of the literature highlights how important dynamic capabilities are in determining a firm's performance, especially in dynamic environments (Akram et al, 2022). Despite the fact that this research domain has been defined to a great extent, there are still many opportunities to learn more about the mechanisms through which dynamic capabilities are developed, used, and exploited for competitive advantage in various organizational and environmental contexts.…”

This paper, therefore, conducts much detail with regard to the moderating role of environmental dynamism between dynamic capabilities and firm performance, with special reference to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) of Pakistan. The conceptual framework leans on the proposition by Teece, Pisano, and Shuen (1997) that dynamic capabilities allow reconfiguration of resources for the changing market demand and hence the source of competitive advantage to the firm. It is theoretically possible that empirical studies on the moderating effect of environmental dynamism are possible, and still scarce within this domain—an even more rare context in the case of Pakistani SMEs. Thereby, this research intends to fill that gap by empirically examining how the influence of environmental dynamism plays out at the dynamic capabilities-performance nexus in Pakistani SMEs—a sector pivotal for the economic growth of the nation but also challenged by a unique blend of local business conditions. Understanding how firms can benefit from their dynamic capabilities in relation to their performance in volatile markets has become important within this fast-changing business environment. This paper, therefore, through an intensive review of the literature, traces the development of the dynamic capability theory in highlighting its relevance for firm performance and the critical roles environmental dynamism has played as one of the most emphasized contextual factors in firm performance. Quantitative research design will be used for data collection from a broad base of industries under the SME sector of Pakistan, and it will be collected through cross-sectional surveys to explore the proposed relationships. Findings have revealed an environmental dynamism-relevant moderating effect on the relationship between dynamic capabilities and performance. That is to say, in the most volatile environments, SME performance will be more dependent on dynamic capabilities, and that dependence will imply that the strategic value of the capabilities would become contingent on the level of environmental dynamism. This is congruent with the resource-based view (RBV) theory of strategy: the strategic value of resources and capabilities depends on the fit that such resources will have with the external environment. Implications for managers and policymakers, therefore, could be said to be very pragmatic, since SMEs operating within such dynamic markets would have a crying need to develop and deploy dynamic capabilities in a strategic way to effectively steer through the environment. First, these findings contribute to theoretical development in that they draw and support from the dynamic capability view (DCV) and RBV literature in verifying the contingent value of the dynamic capability with respect to environmental dynamism. It not only adds some fertile insights into the dynamic capabilities framework within an emerging market context like Pakistan but also substantiates some interesting facets for SMEs to gain an edge on their competitive advantage within the fast-changing global business environment.

“…Principals serve as the guardians of their schools, and they have a significant impact on professionalizing the teaching and learning process in all forms that contribute to educational development (Akram et al, 2022). They are accountable for all school activities, and their leadership and management skills support teachers in their professional work.…”

Principals play a central role in the process of professionalizing teaching and learning, which leads to the development of education in any form. They have the responsibility of overseeing all the activities that happen in schools. Additionally, they provide support to teachers through their leadership and managerial skills to help them with their professional work. The study aimed to explore the current intermediation roles of principals for school efficacy and to find out the principals’ contribution to school efficacy. The study consisted of all 19 high schools, 19 heads of high schools, and 125 SST/SSE of Tehsil and District Attock. 15 principals and 85 SST/SSE teachers at the Government High Schools of tehsil and District Attock were the samples of the study. For data collection, the researcher used the Simple Random Sampling technique. A questionnaire developed on the Likert scale was used as the research instrument. For content validity of the instrument, five different experts’ inputs were inculcated in the instrument. Chi-square and percentages were used for data analysis. The finding of the study shows that 70% of the respondents strongly agreed that principals may have crystal clear instructions and guidelines for the employees of the educational institutes. Provide regular training and professional development opportunities for principals to improve their leadership skills and knowledge of best practices in school management.
