Book Description
This study examines degree of job satisfaction of the faculty and staff members working in the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) of Karachi, both public and private sectors, specifically with the workplace design and its impact on the perceived employee productivity. The independent variables of the study are Office Layout (furniture, equipment, and office type) and Physical Environment (temperature, lighting, noise, aesthetics, and aroma) with an intervening variable of Job Satisfaction which has sub constructs of employee attitude towards work, comfort, and level of communication. Perceived Employee Productivity is the dependent variable. This study is quantitative in nature and encompasses the Post Positivism paradigm. The deductive approach is employed and survey method is opted for this research. Questionnaires were distributed to 400 faculty and staff members working in different HEIs. The quota sampling method has been used. The study entails descriptive analysis, ANOVA, Pearson correlations, and regression analysis of the data collected. The results indicate that a better workplace environment motivates employees and produces better results. However, office layout is more significant than the physical environment as employee is in immediate contact with the furniture, office equipment, and type of office. The demographic characteristics such as gender, age, and income showed no significant impact on employee productivity. In addition, regression analysis showed that job satisfaction with the work environment is significant predictor of employee productivity in the HEIs.

Book Description
Globalisation and demographic trends underline the twin challenge of the Nordics with productivity stagnation and a decreasing work force. Increasing productivity and the work force will be an answer to both. A good work environment can do both: If less people have to take sick leave as result of bad work environments, this will contribute to increasing the work force. Also, for some time, a relationship between work environment and productivity has been hypothesised. Happy, healthy workers, in short, are more productive than not-so-happy and not-so-healthy workers are. This report is based on the most comprehensive empirical study of the cohension between working envi-ronment and productivity. It confirms the hope of many, i.e. that improvements in working environment and improved productivity are highly correlated. The results are robust across time and the investigated countries.

Book Description
This is an open access book. ASEAN countries are diverse, with GDP per capita ranging from about USD1,297 in Myanmar, a lower-middle income country, to USD64,041 in Singapore, a high-income advanced economy (World Economic Outlook Database, IMF, April 2019). ASEAN marked its 50th anniversary in 2017 with relatively successful and prosperous development in five decades, with establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015 as one the key milestones as well as the achievements of Millennium Development Goals 2015. Building on the past successes via Millennium Development Goals 2015, especially in areas such as poverty eradication, better health outcomes and quality education, ASEAN countries are poised to make a more inclusive progress towards the newly adopted development agenda of Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (SDG 2030), which cover a wider set of interlinked development objectives under its 17 goals. The economic dynamism of the ASEAN region on the back of its strong income growth, continuous structural transformation and infrastructure improvements is expected to support sustainable development in the region. From the IMF Report (September 2018), most ASEAN countries, with their continued income growth and strong policy efforts, are on track to eradicate absolute poverty by 2030, while some of these countries are already doing well in terms of gender equality. Similarly, improvement in universal primary education completion is one of the key progress areas made by the majority of ASEAN countries. Despite these achievements, challenges persist, hence, we need to ensure a more inclusive and environmentally sustainable development in the region. Income inequality remains relatively high in several countries, and the shift towards manufacturing has strained environmental sustainability in the region. Furthermore, the other remaining development challenges call for a more comprehensive and integrated approach via the intra-ASEAN initiatives.

Book Description
Leadership is an essential component of higher education institutions as it influences the organization’s ability to fulfill its mission and achieve its goals. Leadership is vital as it affects employees in various areas that may influence their ability to perform their professional duties. Leadership is aligned with the success of an organization and impacts the motivation of employees on their achievement to successfully accomplish the institution’s goal. Transformational leaders encourage individuals to support each other and the organization as a whole and creates an environment of trust, loyalty and respect for the leader by the followers. This leadership style may be applied by leaders in higher education to improve the work experience of their followers. The purpose of this study was to better understand the relationship between transformational leadership and the following variables: employees’ job satisfaction, productivity, and affective commitment in such setting. The researcher used a quantitative non-experimental approach. A sample size of 100 participants was recruited to take part in the study. Data collection was done through three instruments: Leadership Practice Inventory (LPI), Three Component Model (TCM), and Index of Job Satisfaction (IJS). Data analysis was conducted through IBM SPSS (Version 27) and hypothesis tested was analyzed using Pearson Product Moment correlations. Increasing values of inspiring a shared vision corresponded with a greater feeling of job satisfaction. Additionally, increased values in inspiring a shared vision correspond to greater levels of affective commitment. Also, increasing scores in the enabling others to act measure corresponded to increased feelings of job satisfaction. Lastly, increased scores in the enabling others to act resulted in increased affective commitment.
