This document summarizes a research study that examined the relationship between positivity, positive affect, negative affect, and perceived stress among cardiac patients. The study hypothesized that perceived stress would mediate the relationship between positivity and positive/negative affect. Researchers surveyed 519 cardiac patients, assessing positivity, perceived stress, and positive/negative affect. The results found that perceived stress mediated the relationship between positive affect and positivity, as well as between negative affect and positivity. Specifically, positivity was negatively correlated with negative affect and perceived stress, while perceived stress was positively correlated with negative affect. The findings suggest that reducing stress and increasing positive emotions can help reduce negative feelings in cardiac patients.

ROLE OF NANO TECHNOLOGY ON AGRI-GREEN PRODUCT PRODUCTION PROCESS: EMERGING NE...IAEME Publication
Nanotechnology is one of the most important tools in modern agriculture, and in the field of
Agri-Green Technology of product Production .where, Agri-food nanotechnology is anticipated to
become a driving economic force in the near future. Agri-food themes focus on sustainability and
protection of agriculturally produced foods, including crops for human consumption and animal
feeding. Nanotechnology provides new agrochemical agents and new delivery mechanisms to
improve crop productivity, and it promises to reduce pesticide use. Nanotechnology can boost
agricultural production, and its applications include: 1) Nano formulations of agrochemicals for
applying pesticides and fertilizers for crop improvement; 2) the application of
nanosensors/nanobiosensors in crop protection for the identification of diseases and residues of
agrochemicals; 3) nanodevices for the genetic manipulation of plants; 4) plant disease diagnostics;
5) animal health, animal breeding, poultry production; and 6) postharvest management. Precision
farming techniques could be used to further improve crop yields but not damage soil and water,
reduce nitrogen loss due to leaching and emissions, as well as enhance nutrients long-term
incorporation by soil microorganisms. Nanotechnology uses include nanoparticle-mediated gene
or DNA transfer in plants for the development of insect-resistant varieties, food processing and
storage, nanofeed additives, and increased product shelf life. Nanotechnology promises to

accelerate the development of biomass-to-fuels production technologies. Experts feel that the
potential benefits of nanotechnology for agriculture, food, fisheries, and aquaculture need to be
balanced against concerns for the soil, water, and environment and the occupational health of
workers. Raising awareness of nanotechnology in the agri-food sector, including feed and food
ingredients, intelligent packaging and quick-detection systems, is one of the keys to influencing
consumer acceptance. On the basis of only a handful of toxicological studies, concerns have arisen
regarding the safety of Nanomaterials, and researchers and companies will need to prove that
these nanotechnologies do not have more of a negative impact on the environment.
Resilience Supported System for Innovative Water Monitoring TechnologyKoorosh Aslansefat
The level of intelligence in monitoring & controlling systems are increasing dramatically. The critical issue for an autonomous resilient system is detecting the anomalous behavior through standard patterns to react properly and on time. In cyber-physical systems with the interaction of humans and machines, this will be more complicated. Deceptive alarm is a common dilemma in real systems which could reduce awareness and readiness and accordingly resilience of the system. In this paper, Markov modeling technique is used to predict human behaviors patterns to distinguish between human anomalous behavior and system failure. The data is from the real experience of implementing innovative monitoring system in a five-star hotel which was part of the project of gamification for changing guests’ behavior. The idea was to develop Resilience Supported System to decrease the fault error and alarms and to increase the reliability and resilience of the system.

This document summarizes a research study that investigated the impact of building envelope modifications on the energy performance of high-rise apartments in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Three high-rise apartment buildings were modeled using EnergyPlus software to analyze the effects of thermal insulation and glazing type on potential energy savings. The study found that integrating passive envelope design measures like improved insulation and higher performing glazing could help reduce energy consumption and peak cooling loads in the apartments. Modifying elements of the building envelope, especially the walls and windows, may enable significant energy savings potential for high-rise residential buildings in hot and humid climates.
Enhancement of Space Environment Via Healing Gardendrboon
Green nature, sunlight and fresh air have been known as important component of healing in healthcare facilities. This paper presents the finding of an exploratory study on healing garden elements in healthcare facilities. The purpose of the paper is to find the elements of healing gardens and its healing factors in the existing garden design. In conducting this research study, site observation and informal interview at selected healthcare facilities have been performed. The study reveals the elements of existing garden design, the interactivity and the end users expectation on a garden. The finding shows that lacking some of the elements of garden design lead to less user friendliness and interactivity in the garden. It also shows that the visibility, accessibility, quietness and comfortable condition in the garden give impact to the utilization of the garden.
Design of Quadruped Walking Robot with Spherical Shelldrboon
We propose a new quadruped walking robot with a spherical shell, called "QRoSS." QRoSS is a transformable robot that can store its legs in the spherical shell. The shell not only absorbs external forces from all directions, but also improves mobile performance because of its round shape. In rescue operations at a disaster site, carrying robots into a site is dangerous for operators because doing so may result in a second accident. If QRoSS is used, instead of carrying robots in, they are thrown in, making the operation safe and easy. This paper reports details of the design concept and development of the prototype model. Basic experiments were conducted to verify performance, which includes landing, rising and walking through a series of movements.
Motion Analysis of Pitch Rotation Mechanism for Posture Control of Butterfly-...drboon
We developed a small flapping robot on the basis of movements made by a butterfly with a low flapping frequency of approximately 10 Hz, a few degrees of freedom of the wings, and a large flapping angle. In this study, we clarify the pitch rotation mechanism that is used to control its posture during takeoff for different initial pitch and flapping angles by the experiments of both manufactured robots and simulation models. The results indicate that the pitch angle can be controlled by altering the initial pitch angle at takeoff and the flapping angles. Furthermore, it is suggested that the initial pitch angle generates a proportional increase in the pitch angle during takeoff, and that certain flapping angles are conducive to increasing the tendency for pitch angle transition. Thus, it is shown that the direction of the flight led by periodic changing in the pitch angle can be controlled by optimizing control parameters such as initial pitch and flapping angles.
Analysis of Roll Rotation Mechanism of a Butterfly for Development of a Small...drboon
1) The document analyzes the roll rotation mechanism of a butterfly through computational fluid dynamics simulations using boundary conditions from high-speed camera footage.
2) It finds that during typical pitch rotation flight, differential pressure concentrates at the tip of the forewings, producing roughly matched reaction forces on the left and right wings.
3) During roll rotation flight, differential pressure distributes across the entire wings, with the right reaction force twice as great as the left during the initial downstroke, leading to a large change in roll angle.
Effect of Oryzalin on Growth of Anthurium andraeanum In Vitrodrboon
Apical shoots and lateral buds of Anthurium andraeanum about 0.5 cm grew very well when cultured on MS medium supplemented with NAA, kinetin, sucrose and gelrite. When brought young plantlets (the same sized) of A. andraeanum soaked in various concentrations of oryzalin with different duration times. The A. andraeanum plantlets were subcultured into the same medium every 4 weeks for 3 times. It was found that 5.0 mg/l oryzalin with 24 and 72 hours gave the best average number of leaves per bunch, plant height and diameter of bunch. These parameters were reverse proportion, when increased concentration of oryzalin, the growth rate in each parameter was decreased with thick and pale green leaves.

Stem node of Miniature Rose with axillary bud were used as explants. These explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of 2,4-D. It was found that MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D gave the highest number of green callus. The callus cultured on MS medium supplemented with different combinations of NAA and BA to form new shoot and root. From the result, we are able to find the highest number of young shoots that were induced from callus when cultured callus on MS medium supplemented with NAA and BA. When subcultured all new shoots with the same size to MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of NAA and BA, and 2,4- D for six weeks. The result was significant difference (P≤0.5) when compared the average height of plant and percentage of root formation, but their duration time for flowering were not significant different.
Seismic Capacity Comparisons of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Between Standar...drboon
Earthquakes are cause of serious damage through the building. Therefore, moment resistant frame buildings are widely used as lateral resisting system. Generally three types of moment resisting frames are designed namely Special ductile frames (SDF), Intermediate ductile frames (IDF) and Gravity load designed (GLD) frames, each of which has a certain level of ductility. Comparative studies on the seismic performance of three different ductility of building are performed in this study. The analytical models are considered about failure mode of column (i.e. shear failure, flexural to shear failure and flexural failure); beam-column joint connection, infill wall and flexural foundation. Concepts of incremental dynamic analysis are practiced to assess the required data for performance based evaluations. This study found that the lateral load capacity of GLD, IDF, and SDF building was 19.25, 27.87, and 25.92 %W respectively. The average response spectrum at the collapse state for GLD, IDF, and SDF are 0.75 g, 1.19 g, and 1.33 g, respectively. The results show that SDF is more ductile than IDF and the initial strength of SDF is close to IDF. The results indicate that all of frames are able to resistant a design earthquake.

The healthcare facilities built before the move has also taken the initiative to renovate their spaces to accommodate the healing gardens. The paper focuses on the physical attributes of the healing garden of two old healthcare premises whether they accord with the healing garden attributes. The methodology for the study is through observation and interviews. The data collected is content analysed. The study found that they do accord with the attributes. However accessibility to the garden is the main concern that needs readdressing to accommodate users with different physical abilities.
A Development of a Reliable and Trusted Mobile RFID-based Asset Management Sy...drboon
Physical asset management is very important to monitor the existence and functionality of the asset in organization. It including ensure the asset is locate at the recorded location and still can be used by the staff. Usually the monitoring exercise is done by checking the id number that stick to the assets and compare it with the record. The process of getting the id number can be done manually or by using a barcode. However this will take time because there are number of assets in one location and it takes time to locate the number sticker. We proposed the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to automatically detect the assets and provide reports on the mismatch of asset and location. The use of RFID required less time to perform the asset monitoring and increase efficiency in data management. It can connect with the database to match the records of assets and its location. By ensuring the safety of the assets, we can prolong its lifecycle where this will contributes to more sustainable and greener world.

Effect of Combined Antenna Electromagnetic Power to Humandrboon
This paper investigates the effect of the combined signals from the nearby cellular towers that have toward population health in Thailand. We investigate the frequencies in the operating ranges of GSM 850/ 900/ 1800/ 1900/ and 2100 MHz. Both power and frequency of electromagnetic wave have influence to living cell. In theory, these combined signals strength can fluctuate the energy level of certain minerals that are key components of human internal organs. These minerals, such as K+, Ca++, and Na+, are crucial in maintaining the balance for healthy body. The damage to the living organ from the small amount of heat energy that caused by the vibration of polar dielectric, such as H2O is even less than the damage that is caused by displacement of electron in the these minerals. In theory the charged particle that originated from as such demonstrates property of electric vector (magnitude, phase and direction) which cause the living cell to be prone to oxidization and degenerated; it can deviate from its normality. Hence, this study is crucial to human and all livings.
Problems of Heat, Mass and Momentum Transfer in Manufacturing Processes: A Br...drboon
In machining processes the chip flows over the tool rake and carries heat away as it moves. This is a case of mass transportation with heat transfer. Similarly, during hot forging, upsetting or coining processes heat is transferred from the hot billet to the relatively cooler dies, punches or hammers with momentum transfer under high impact load. Also, in high energy rate fabrication (HERF) processes, such as electromagnetic forming, explosive forming, impact extrusion, etc. heat is generated almost instantaneously, in milliseconds, and its dissipation is a serious industrial problem due to the very short process cycle time. In the present paper some of the problems related to heat, mass and momentum transfer in the above mentioned manufacturing processes are reviewed and compared with experimental results.

Figure 1: Lending interest rate and housing prices in Ho Chi Minh City.
Furthermore, there exist different views on this topic. Indeed, some scholars state that interest
rate exerts a negative impact on housing prices (for example, Adams & Fuss, 2010; Xu & Chen, 2012;
Kengne et al., 2013; Kivedal, 2013; Engsted & Pedersen, 2014; Zhu et al., 2017). Meanwhile, it is
believed that a mild rise in interest rate will enhance the housing market, which in turn raises the
property prices. In other words, the interest rate is positively correlated to housing prices (for example,
Wadud et al., 2012; Tse et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2016; Gaspareniene et al., 2017; Tupenaite et al.,
2017). This paper investigates the impacts of interest rate on housing prices in Ho Chi Minh City.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
An interest rate is an essential tool of monetary policy. Accordingly, to control the interest rate
should be one of its targets. Also, the procedure to complete a mechanism of interest rate control
always ensures a monetary policy target which is economic stability. Moreover, interest rate greatly
contributes to stabilizing the housing market (Tse et al., 2014; Bui, 2019b) which represents a market
for properties being purchased, sold and rented, thereby forming prices. Therefore, the housing
market is frequently indicated by the house price index, a statistically weighted average price of each
region at a specific time (Vries et al., 2009).
The impact of interest rate on housing prices has been researched in different economies and
regions. In summary, the existing literature could be divided into two following mainstreams:
The negative impact of interest rate on housing prices: A significant rise in the interest rate
causes a decrease in the housing market. Also, it becomes more difficult for citizens to get a mortgage,
which in turn negatively affects the housing prices. The negative effect of interest rate on housing
prices has been revealed in many empirical studies. For instance, by analyzing data of 15 countries,
Adams and Fuss (2010) reported that a 1% increase in interest rate will decrease housing demands,
thereby giving a 0.3% fall to housing prices in the long run. Xu and Chen (2012) found the negative
causality between the interest rate and housing prices in 70 China’s large and medium cities. In the
same vein, Kengne et al. (2013) also stressed that the interest rate exerts a negative influence on
housing prices in South Africa. At that time, Kivedal (2013) stated that a rise in interest rate can
reduce bubbles in the U.S real estate market, which is the negative effect of interest rate on house
price alternatively. Further, Engsted and Pedersen (2014) concluded that interest rate is negatively

4. EMPIRICAL RESULTS
4.1 DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
In fact, the house price index in Ho Chi Minh city fluctuates constantly (Figure 1). Table 2,
house price index in Ho Chi Minh city reached the top in the third quarter of 2009 (105 points) and
the bottom in the last counterpart of 2013 (88.7 points). Meanwhile, the lending interest rate reached
the highest value in the second quarter of 2011 (18.02%) and the lowest value in the third counterpart
of 2015 (6.96%). Lending interest rate and house price index have gradually been stabilized recently.
Table 2: Descriptive statistics of all variables.
Variable Mean Min Max
House price index in Ho Chi Minh city (points) 93.928 88.700 105
Lending interest rate (%) 10.094 6.960 18.020
4.2 DICKEY-FULLER TEST
The Augmented Dickey-Fuller test (1979) is adopted to examine the stationarity of the data
series. Table 3 gives the Dickey-Fuller test result.
Table 3: Dickey-Fuller test.

Lending interest rate (LIR) 0.878 0.010***
Note: *** indicates significance at the 1% level.
Table 3 shows that the data series of a house price index (HPI) and lending interest rate (LIR)
become stationary after the first difference I(1) at the 1% level of significance.
4.3 ARDL BOUND TESTING COINTEGRATION
The lag of variables is calculated based on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Next, the
ARDL bound test developed by Pesaran et al. (2001) is also used to test cointegration among the data
series.

and significant at the 5% level. This impact is obviously expressed by the lag of one quarter (=
0.006) and two quarters (= 0.005).
Thus, in the short run, an increase in interest rate can stimulate the operation of the housing
market, which in turn gives rise to housing prices. In other words, the interest rate is positively related
to housing prices in the short term, which is consistent with what Wadud et al. (2012) reported.
Nevertheless, in the long run, an excessive increase in interest rate can reduce the investment into the
real estate market as well as make it hard for citizens to get a mortgage, leading to a fall in housing
prices. The negative correlation between the interest rate and housing prices has been found in
previous studies of Adams and Fuss (2010), Xu and Chen (2012), Kengne et al. (2013), Kivedal
(2013), Engsted and Pedersen (2014), Zhu et al. (2017). Despite being consistent with earlier studies,
an unprecedented finding of this study is revealing the impact of interest rate on housing prices in the
long term and short term. More than that, this paper provides first empirical evidence on this impact
in Ho Chi Minh city as well as Vietnam. Therefore, this result is meaningful to Ho Chi Minh city’s
authorities as well as other provinces’.
5. CONCLUSION
With the objective of analyzing the impact of interest rate on housing prices from 2009:Q1 to
2018:Q4, the study reveals that interest rate significantly influences housing prices in the long term
and short term. Specifically, in the short run, interest rate exerts a positive impact on property prices,
which is clearly expressed at the lag of one quarter and two quarters. Meanwhile, this impact turns
out to be negative in the long run. The paper greatly succeeds in finding the correlation between the
interest rate and housing prices in the short run and long run, which is an unprecedented finding.
Further, the study provides first empirical evidence on the causality between the interest rate and
property prices in Ho Chi Minh city as well as Vietnam. Based on this result, the authorities in Ho
Chi Minh city, as well as those in other regions, can have a reliable foundation to stabilize interest
rate in the combination with the sustainable development of the housing market. The stability of the
interest rate will facilitate the house purchase of citizens, especially limiting bubbles in the market.
Despite gaining its objective, the paper still has its limitations when some variables which may
be correlated to interest rate and housing prices such as economic growth, inflation, financial crisis
have not been investigated. More specifically, due to the fact that Ho Chi Minh city’s housing market
is still nascent, data adopted are quite short and cannot be collected monthly.

2. THEORETICAL PRINCIPLES
In many organizations, activities have faced many factors including market opportunities, cost
reduction, and competition to improve performance (Navarro et al, 2010) to show satisfactory
performance in tough occasions encountering by markets. Thus, a perspective based on resources in
the organizations can be caused by their unique resources, integrated resources and/ or the ability to
respond to the environment. Accordingly, there is a distinct difference regarding different
organizations’ performances is due to the fact that successful organizations have strategic resources
(physical, human and organizational) that their competitors lack these resources (Sinaei et al.,
2011). On the other hand, human resources are the core of organizations’ activities, these are
humans who work in organizations and the organization does not work automatically (Sheykh-al-
Eslami, 2012). One of the symptoms of organizations’ improper statute is the lack of a functioning
system in different aspects of the organization including satisfying staff needs, suppliers. On the
other hand, lack of an organization evaluation and monitoring system means inability to
communicate with inner and outer environment of the organization which are followed by
indolence and finally breakdown of organizations (Rezaian et al 2011). Innovation is a vital factor
in the organizations to create permanent competitive advantage and value in our changing and
complex world.
While each activity needs genius and talent, it also needs the knowledge, attention and
hardworking of all staff. Innovation term is a wide concept to use related knowledge or information
to create or introduce new and useful things. Therefore, innovation can be described as any new
idea of an organization and/or industry and/or a nation and/or world (Hosseini 1998). Innovative
organizations need a flexible environment to support innovations. Flexibility increases the power of
adapting and believing which makes the openness to innovation easier (JafarPour, 2013).
A majority of government organizations are looking forward to establishing internalized
knowledge management to take advantage of their knowledge and maintain a competitive
advantage in national and international. Fast changes in today′s world, organizations have faced
different challenges. Pioneer organizations have exploited management means and modern
technologies to accomplish organization′s purposes (Ramezani & Soleymani, 2015). Science
development and fast changes in today′s world have posed many challenges to organizations.
Continuous changes in knowledge have imposed an imbalanced condition on organizations. The
most important role which can be dedicated to knowledge management is that we can consider it to
be a change methodology. Knowledge management can be the most important factor for a change in
the organization because it attracts new knowledge into the organization and manages it (Hosseini
and Fard, 2012). It is hard to implement knowledge sharing in organizations and it needs support
(Reychav and Weisberg, 2010).
Intellectual capital is a non-competitive capital that is contrary to physical capital that can be
used for a single purpose at a particular time. Intellectual capital can be used for multi-purposes
simultaneously (Zanjirani and Allahi, 2014). Employees create intellectual capital through
competency and intellectual agility. In fact, this capital creates an opportunity for the organization
using creativity and personal cooperation to acquire trade value (Dastgir et al, 2014). Intellectual
capital includes three elements like human capital, structured capital and communicative capital
(Khoo et al 2015). Human capital and communicative capital and structured capital cannot change
into private property, they shall be shared among staff, customers and suppliers, and these

4. METHOD
This study is in the applied form with regard to the study purpose, and it is a descriptive-
survey with regard to the study method. In the study, the review also covers Latin and Persian
articles, books, and the Internet. A questionnaire has been designed and used to collect data. The
study population contains the staff of the District 7 Ministry of Education.
4.1 QUESTIONNAIRE VALIDITY
In order to measure the validity of the questionnaire, content reliability has been used. A
questionnaire has been handed out among specialists and experts which has asked about the
usefulness and uselessness of questions with respect to the variables and purpose of each variable.
The completed questionnaires were collected and the validity of content has been given to 12
marketing experts, the content validity has been calculated for the index of identification based on
12 auditors. According to 12 auditors in Table 1, the accepted content validity ratio (CVR) equals
0.56. The numerical calculations results were 0.66 to 1 for each question which illustrated the
questions′ validity.

4.2 RELIABILITY OF QUESTIONNAIRE
First of all, a primary sample is provided which contains 30 questionnaires before the test, and
then SPSS 22 software calculates the reliability with the Cronbach’s alpha method using obtained
data. Using SPSS22 software, the alpha amounts have been estimated to be more than 0.827 which
shows the questionnaire validity and proper intellectual impression of respondents regarding the
content of related variables. Results show that the amount of alpha enjoys the advantage of having
the required reliability.

variables. With respect to numbers written on main diameter, the number of figures on each column
was less than main diameter. This confirms the level of divergent validity in the study model.
5.1 INVESTIGATING THE STUDY′S INNER MODEL
After testing outer model and confirming its validity and reliability (study′s measurement
model), inner model or structural model of study is evaluated. Study hypotheses can be dealt by
using inner models. Statistic criterion including t, coefficient of determination, and path coefficient
are used to evaluate the model. The tested conceptual model has been presented in a standard way
or PLS algorithm, and paths′ coefficients (figure 1) and significance coefficients (Figure 2) have
been presented.

human capital and innovative performance because its P-value equals 0.001 and it is less than 0.05,
statistic hypothesis H0 is confirmed and H1 is rejected. In this study, there is an impact between
human capital and structural capital, and there is also an impact between structural and innovative
performance. In general, there is an impact between human resources and innovative performance.
With respect to the impact between main and side hypotheses, we can conclude that the impact of
the mediatory factor of structural capital between human capital and innovative performance is
acceptable. Obtained results are consistent with findings of Ino et al. (2017).

with absolute trust and clarity without any sort of others' approval); Overconfidence (Egotism and
stubbornness or in simple words superiority complex) (Lane et al., 2004). The confidence power
can be properly developed by adopting the sequence likewise the goal, setting, analysis, creation,
action, and evaluation (Greenberg, 2008).
When someone identifies the negative thoughts and turns it into positivity, then his confidence
level is automatically enhanced and maintenance of positive support networking, complete
elimination of negativity from mind, identification of own talent by taking pride in own self,
gracefully acceptance of compliments with smiling in the society are all the key factors that
enhance the confidence of someone (Bridgeman & Shipman, 1978). Those people who are highly
confident are happier, men of strength and capabilities, free of self-doubt, fear, stress, social anxiety
and depression (Covassin & Pero, 2004). Confident students act with full vigor and motivation; they
enjoy interacting with others and they are successful members of society (Farooq et al., 2011).
Confidence is the knowledge someone may do something well by applying skills that are quite
essential in almost all aspects of life (Sander & Sanders, 2002). Confident Parents, their children to
feel good and satisfactory about yourselves and analyze yourself by focusing more on where you
behind are, so that your confidence power may be polished and developed (Aggarwal & Mishra,
2005). Confident students mostly show better academic grades because they believe themselves
(Sandra & Ruppert, 2006). They are theoretically and practically genius from all aspects of life and
they show better performance in every field where they indulge or where they get in (Al-Hebaish,
2012).
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
It is highly mandatory for parents to train and nourish children to have full belief on own
abilities, talents, and experiences to enhance own confidential power. The students can ensure their
beliefs on themselves in two ways like understanding themselves and overestimating themselves,
and a realistic assessment of their abilities is the key to acquire confidence (Ochoa & Sander, 2012).
Confident students never make wrong decisions and they are honest and positive thinkers of the
society; their feelings, self-esteem, skills, abilities, and experiences are developed (Ziegler &
Heller, 2000; Martins et al., 2002). Confident students communicate with others quite effectively,
they always speak concisely and with clarity (Purwar, 2002; Koç & Polat, 2006). Confident
students always prefer to live with smile and satisfaction in society; they always monitor their
progress; they do the right things; they are long term planner; they always follow their abilities,
skills, and beliefs; they always do what they are afraid to do (Martin, 2004).
They commit themselves to their success; their focus is always on the basics; they first set their
goals and then confidently achieve it; unhappy, melancholic and confused the students always show
poor academic grades due to the stress and lack of the confidence and lack of confidence negatively
influences the social relations, career, achievements, and moods of students (Van-Laar, 2000). The
confidence comes from practice and knowledge; a student with more knowledge and practice
becomes more confident due to which he/she can easily face new challenges in society due to which
they successfully avail different opportunities (Crocker & Luhtanen, 2003). Confidence is the
combination of ability, strong feelings of self-esteem as well as self-belief, personal judgment, and
power; confident students always feel competency from their inside and outside and they always
use their talent and experiences for the achievement of their goal with patience which helps them in

It is, therefore, necessary to conduct studies that are intended to inform and assist decision-
makers in hospitals in identifying the key workplace issues that would help in developing the
strategies to address and improve the performance of doctors in public sector hospitals. Researchers
observed that a high quality of work life (QWL) is essential for organizations to achieve high
performance (Azril et al., 2010; Deb, 2006). The way doctors who work in hospitals perceive their
work environment influences their level of performance. Although improving the QWL is important
to the well-being and development of employees, it has not attracted adequate attention in
developing like Pakistan. This study presents addressed these concepts by providing new and
valuable information thereby conducting the field study on the quality of the work life and
individual (doctors) work performance of the hospitals in Pakistani (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) context
by generalizing the findings.
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 QWL
Generally, QWL has been defined as opinions and impressions regarding employees'
organizations working conditions. The majority of the literature on the nature of QWL of work life
shows that the concept is latent, multidimensional in nature, and need-based. Sirgy et al. (2001)
conceptualize QWL as need-based categorizing QWL into higher-order needs and the lower order
needs (Schaubrock & Ganster, 1991). Lower order needs are comprised of the health/safety needs,
and economic /family needs (Tabachnick & Fidell, 2002). The higher-order needs are comprised of
the social needs, esteem needs and self-actualization needs, knowledge needs, and aesthetic needs.
2.1.1 PROMOTION
Some employees like equality at the work, some like benefits provided by their job, or others
satisfied with the degree to which they have the power to take the initiatives at their workplace
during the job. In this research, we will study the effect or influence of promotion upon doctors’
work Performance. Promotion is worker recognition efforts and his commitment to work (Borman
& Motowidlo, 1993). Getting higher and higher promotion is the ultimate desire of each person
working in any sort of organization. Promotion is a Shifting of an employee for a job of higher
significance and higher compensation. The movement of an employee upward in the hierarchy of
the organization, typically that leads to enhancement of responsibility and the rank and an improved
compensation package is a promotion (Koopmans et al., 2011).
2.1.2 WORK ENVIRONMENT
QWL is a process by which the organizations’ personnel and stakeholders learn how to work
better together to simultaneously improve staff quality of life and individual work performance and
thus improving organizational productivity. An attractive and supportive work environment is
critical to the employees’ task performance (Almalki et al., 2012). The work environment can be
grouped into three distinct forms. These are the physical work environment (an environment that
deals with the physical or tangibles at the setting where the job is performed), psychological work
environment (a set of characteristics of work environment that affect how the worker feels (Hamid,
2012). The psychological work environment provides a good description of the mental activities
that a worker undertakes during working hours or at the post) and social work environment (deals

4 ANALYSIS RESULT
Co-linearity happens when all the independent variables are highly correlated with each other.
This effects beta values and researcher inferences about sample and population got affected. So first
researchers have checked multicollinearity, this can be checked by the VIF variance inflation factor
and it should be less than 10 and Tolerance T value it should be higher than 0.10. All the values of
VIF and T were in the specified range. When data is collected by using the same survey, same scale
and same time its validity is questionable. For this purpose, the researchers suggested to checked
common method bias (CMB) by using Harman Single-factor analysis. It was run and found that the
first factor was explaining variance less than 50% it means that CMB is not a major issue in this
study.
From the analysis, results revealed that there are 224 respondents participated in the study.
From the analysis, it is revealed that there were 164 (73.2%), male respondents, while 60 (26.8%)
were females participated in this study. Further analysis of results also revealed that majority of the
respondents belongs to age group of 20-30 years i.e. 84 (37.5%) followed by age group of 51-60
years i.e. 77 (34.4%), likewise 49 respondents belong to the age group of 31-40 years i.e. (21.9%)
and minimum number of respondents belongs to age group of 41-50 years (6.3%). Similarly, the
majority of respondents were holding MPhil degrees i.e. 161 (71.9%) followed by 42 (18.8%) were
holding master degrees and only 21 doctors were having doctoral degrees (9.4%). In the analysis, it
was identified that the majority of the respondents were assistant professors i.e. 72 (32.1%) while
followed by associate professors 59 (26.3%) and lecturers were 45 (20.1%) number of professors
were identified as 48 (21.4%). 152 (67.9%) respondents had the experience of 1-10 years, followed
by the respondents having experience of 20 years i.e. 52 (23.2%) and only 20 respondents were
having experience of 20-30 years i.e. 8.9%. there were 131 local respondents and 93 nonlocal
respondents. Same data for married and single respondents, see Table 1 and Figure 1.

=0.850. for work environment AVE=0.720 and CR=0.928, for performance=0.363, CR=0.844
though AVE for performance is less than 0.40 but CR is higher than 0.7 so ITC is acceptable no
issue of validity. All the items and variables and their scales are found reliable and valid (Hillsdale
et al., 1993).
Figure 1: Measurement Model Confirmatory Factor Analysis
(P: Promotion; WE: Work Environment; PERF/PR: Performance).
AMOS-SEM 18 was used for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Criteria for factor loadings
for set at 0,50. But criteria for other goodness of fit such as goodness of fit index (GFI), Bollen's
Incremental Fit Index (IFI), Comparative fit index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI), Normed Fit
Index (NFI); Relative Fit Index (RFI), are set >0.90, and for Root Mean Square Error of
Approximation (RMSEA) <0.08 for chi-square less than 3. Figure 3 shows that all the items of
promotion, work environment, and performance have factor loadings greater than 0.5 but two items
were deleted from promotion because of low factor loadings, one item was excluded from work
environment and eight items were deleted from the performance. RMSEA= 0.06 <0.08,
GFI=0.955>0.90, IFI=0.970>0.090, CFI=0.970>0.90, TLI=0.953, NFI=0.944, RFI=0.912 all are
greater than 0.90. Chi-square/df =2.072. Therefore, the above model is found fit for the present
research and context in highlighting the issue and measure. These indicate the model fitness in the
entire procedure.
4.1 CORRELATION ANALYSIS
As this data was normally distributed, so Pearson correlation as used. Correlation 0.1 to 0.4 is
considered weak, 0.5-0.6 is the moderate and 0.7 and 0.9 is considered high. Pearson correlation is
used to check the relationship amid promotion, work environment and performance.

**. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).
It was found that the relationship between promotion and work environment is r = 0.664,
p<0.01, it means that flexible promotion policies increase the environment at the workplace and
there is a friendly and supportive environment developed by doctors and colleagues in the hospitals.
While the relationship between promotion and performance is r = 0.858, p<0.01 it means that when
