Purpose: This study aims to examine how Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) and Smart Technology–AI–Robotics–Algorithms (STARA) capabilities operate as concurrent human- and digital-capability domains associated with sustainable performance in higher education institutions (HEIs). It further tests whether green innovation (GI) and green passion (GP) explain these relationships as parallel mediating mechanisms. Design/methodology/approach: Using a three-wave, one-month time-lagged survey of employees from 10 HEIs in Sindh, Pakistan, this study analysed 424 matched responses. Hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Predictive performance was assessed using PLSpredict and complementary machine-learning models, with SHAP used for predictive interpretation. Findings: Both GHRM and STARA capabilities are positively associated with sustainable performance, and GI and GP each significantly mediate these relationships. The GI-mediated pathways are stronger than the corresponding GP-mediated pathways, indicating that innovation routines constitute the dominant capability-conversion mechanism. GP operates as a complementary and potentially more context-sensitive motivational pathway. Machine-learning analysis provides complementary predictive evidence and identifies GI as the leading predictor, converging with the structural ordering observed in the PLS-SEM results. Practical implications: University leaders should integrate sustainability into HR practices, deploy STARA responsibly through smart-campus monitoring and data-enabled decision support, and prioritise eco-innovation. Resource-constrained HEIs can begin with phased, low-cost initiatives such as staff training, green committees, basic sustainability dashboards and pilot eco-innovation projects. Social implications: The findings may inform institutional efforts to strengthen employee participation and employee-evaluated social sustainability outcomes relevant to internal stakeholders. Originality/value: This study advances HEI sustainability research by positioning GHRM and STARA as dual human- and digital-capability antecedents – an underexamined theoretical configuration in higher education – and GI and GP as parallel mediating mechanisms. It therefore offers a more integrated, mechanism-based explanation of how sustainability capability deployment becomes performance-relevant in an emerging-economy HEI context.

Job satisfaction refers to an individual's overall feelings and attitudes towards their job. Employees with high job satisfaction are generally more content, engaged, and committed to their work. Turnover intention refers to an employee's contemplation or inclination to leave their current job position within a specific time frame. The aim of the study is to analyze the impact of job satisfaction affects to the turnover intention of the employees. This study uses quantitative analysis since the deductive approach was utilized to test the current theories. The factors that determined the independent variable of Job Satisfaction factors were the nature of the job, work conditions, pay and benefits, and training. Turnover intention was use as the dependent variable. The study population consist 116 branches of different banks in Hyderabad district, 300 employees who are working on different designations at their respective banks of Hyderabad district. Convenience sampling technique was used for data collection from the respondents. To gather the primary data, a systematic questionnaire was also given out. Regression analysis and correlation were used to examine the hypothesis. The results of the regression analysis showed that job satisfaction had a statistically significant effect on employee turnover intention at 0.05, while the correlation analysis indicated a positive association between job satisfaction and employee turnover intention. On the basis of the study's results, researchers could also look into the effects of organizational culture and assistance from upper management on worker performance.

Modern and fast developments of wireless technologies have directed to a great demand for resources. It can be seen in the study that the range of existing spectrum is not used effectively, therefore the frequency band should be observed to ensure proper usage and to have the information of primary or licensed user is very much essential. In this research work uplink of LTE (Long-Term Evolution) is observed through MF (Matched Filter) spectrum sensing technique of CR (Cognitive Radio) network. This method examines the existence of signals in minimum possible time, reduces the hindrances between secondary users, increases accurateness of sensing and provides finest choice of threshold. In Uplink the System model which is used is known as SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access). Entire simulation/results are prepared in MATLAB environment. This study also provides graphical contrast of simulated and theoretical results of matched filter and energy detection technique.

The development of information technology in the 21 ^st century play important role in the education of Pakistan and ICT has more affective role on educational institution like schools, colleges and universities. The top level management of different institutes has been using management information systems to improve their efficiency of administrative works with the help of information management system. The purpose of this study is to explore the principal's view of the MIS and the ways in which the school uses the MIS. The respondents to this study were 98 elementary school and college principals of Hyderabad division. Data collection uses a five-part questionnaire. The first part collects the respondent's demographic information. Remaining parts of questionnaire have a statement about the school management information system. The data was analyzed in SPSS, for the frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The results show that despite the lack of technical infrastructure in primary schools, higher authority make an important contribution to support the school management for the implementation of information management system.

Information and knowledge has gained superiority in the present age where people believe that information is the most powerful weapon that leads a nation to progress. Knowledge is considered as the most important asset that leads a nation to progress and development. The Universities impart knowledge and the University Libraries, the place where knowledge accumulates, support the curriculum. Hence knowledge management gains importance. ICT is the major tool that helps the library professionals to provide better service to the users. The paper examines whether ICT enhances KM in University Libraries and also its effectiveness to the users. It is part of the study conducted to analyze the `application of KM in University Libraries in Pakistan'.

Libraries and librarians around the world are using Web 2.0 tools to inform users about their services, share information, connect with users and colleagues, on a worldwide level. This study explored the use of Web 2.0 tools for marketing and promotion of library services and resources by the libraries of Higher Education Institutes of Sindh. A structured questionnaire were developed and administered through professional social network sites for data collection from the university libraries. A total of 87 completed questionnaire returns were received from the universities of Sindh province. The results show that Facebook, Twitter, Wikis, RSS, LinkedIn, Blogging, YouTube and email groups are the web 2.0 tools considered suitable and used for marketing and promotion of different library services and resources in the university libraries.

The aim of this study is to find out the level of devotion of IT professionals in city of education, Jamshoro by the six motivation factors for them are: (Appreciation, Training, Flexible Working Hours, Task Identity, Feedback and Micromanagement). The purpose of this study is focus on the appropriate motivational factor which helps IT professionals to increase their commitment to the jobs and their working organizations. The data were collected from IT professionals of four educational organizations including `Mehran University of Engineering & Technology (MUET), University of Sindh (UOS), Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences (LUMHS) and Hidaya Institute of Science & Technology (HIST)' in which mostly participants were qualified as graduated and less were Masters and male participants were in majority. Total 64 participants shared their views for getting survey data from the population. Survey results after analysis that the IT professionals wanted to leave their job and they showed less commitment. The factors like working hours, appreciation, training and feedback had less existence in the working environment of organizations. The motivation factors for the respondents were the micromanagement. The results of analysis from the data showed that the micromanagement had negative impact on the commitment of IT professional at their jobs. The IT professionals, showed the significant effect of appreciation, training and task identity on the motivation and commitment in city of education Jamshoro. Hence flexible working hour and feedback have no impact on IT professional's commitment.
