“…Ventilators, goggles, gloves, hovers, and safety belts are used when handling hazardous materials. Pakistani workers' safety record is much better than a decade ago because the government conducts checks and inspections to protect workers from injury and death (Ahmed et al, 2023). The Pakistani constitution allows workers to form unions and collectively bargain for better working conditions.…”

With the aim of fostering gender equality and inclusivity in organizational settings, an exploration of workplace policies becomes imperative. This quantitative inquiry takes on the task of lensing corporate policies in Pakistan from a feminist perspective, with a sample of 200 women from different sectors. Pakistan's abysmal state of gender inequality is highlighted by its rank of 155th out of 162 countries in the Gender Development Index (GDI), revealing significant disparities. Maternity leave policies are decreed as dissatisfactory (21.3%) and mediocre (23.9%), calling for more supportive and inclusive measures with negative impacts on work-life balance (33.6%) and career trajectory (47.4%). Salary structures are marked by discontent (28.9% dissatisfied, 22.0% very dissatisfied), representing potentially egregious gender-based disparities. Beliefs in gender parity for promotions and salary increases are minuscule (44.2% disagreement). Transparency issues loom large (54.2% communication, 48.2% promotion criteria), suggesting the dire need for improved organizational communication. Harassment policies breed mixed perceptions and are deemed ineffective (35.9%). The findings call for organizational intervention and outline key strategies for the ecosystem of work in Pakistan to forge a more gender-equitable workplace.

The paper presents data on Mechanical properties of femur, rib and scapula of ox and camel. The study utilized a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) to conduct tensile and compressive strength tests on these bone samples. The results indicate that rib bones exhibit higher tensile strength compared to femur and scapula bones, while spongy bones demonstrate lower compressive strength than compact bones. Additionally, the study highlights how decalcification affects bone strength, showing an increase in tensile strength for decalcified bones. This research underscores the simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and accuracy of the testing method, providing valuable insights into the mechanical behavior of bone tissues.

“…Employee consultation and delegation by managers is an immediate force that influences their perception regarding the work environment (Coz, 2000; Macky and Boxall, 2007; Jones and Seraphim, 2008). Managerial consultation, delegation and encouragement are frequently viewed as variables that affect employee performance (Amah and Ahiauzu, 2013; Timing, 2015; Ahmed et al , 2023). Thus, workers' participation or involvement becomes essential to achieving positive employee perceptions and increasing efficiency and productivity (Tran and Pham, 2019).…”

Purpose This paper aims to gain insight into managers' perspectives on the concept and practice of workers' participation in management (WPM) in Indian organizations. WPM is a critical ingredient in organizational effectiveness. However, the most fundamental aspects of WPM, such as the attitudes, expectations of managers and the factors facilitating or hindering the participation process, are less explored. This paper attempts to answer those questions concerning WPM in the context of Indian organizations. Design/methodology/approach The study uses data from 138 managers of Indian public and private sector organizations. Data were collected through an online survey as well as through semi-structured interviews. The study explores potential benefits, roadblocks and supporters from the managers' perspective. Further, to test the hypothesis, the author used multiple regression analysis. Findings The paper demonstrates managers' perception of workers' participation at the board level as the most beneficial and supportive compared to joint consultation and joint decision-making; however, at the same time, it is the one having the most roadblocks in the present Indian Labour laws. Workers, unions and managers' lack of legislative support and intention fuel the fire. The study also found that implementation of WPM is primarily based on statutory norms, and public sector managers are more willing to take the workers on board than managers of private sector organizations. Practical implications This research is of practical significance as it extracts new visions for policymakers in India already planning to implement four new labor codes, namely, wages, industrial relations, social security and occupational safety, health and working conditions. The data from the study will facilitate the Indian labor ministry to lay down policy decisions concerning WPM. Further, the government can acclimatize this analysis to plug the ambiguities in the present WPM system. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to give insights into the manager's perspective regarding the WPM using a scenario-based approach. In addition, this paper offers valuable suggestions for policymakers to restructure and streamline the country's existing and overlapping labor laws.
