This research paper aimed to develop a framework to test the mediation of interpersonal distrust between interpersonal conflict and knowledge hiding. This study also intended to test the moderation of organizational-based psychological ownership between interpersonal distrust and knowledge hiding linkage. A two-wave design was utilized in this study for data collection with a one-month time interval between both waves. Using purposive sampling, 341 employees were drawn from advertising agencies located in Pakistan. Aself-reported survey was used for the collection of data. Results from variance-based structural equation modeling demonstrated that interpersonal conflict is directly as well as indirectly related to knowledge hiding through interpersonal distrust. Moreover, moderation analysis revealed that organizational-based psychological ownership buffers the influence of interpersonal distrust on knowledge hiding behavior. The present study uncovered the mediation of interpersonal distrust and examined the moderation of organizational-based psychological ownership between interpersonal distrust and knowledge hiding.

Universities struggle to nurture these skills among the students . The present study explored the association between students' EI and their OCB . The study was descriptive and 650 students from two universities of Punjab were selected as a sample through simple random sampling. A questionnaire-based on two self-reporting scales was developed as a survey instrument to measure students' EI and OCB . The collected data were examined employing descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation. Results demonstrated that university students possessed a high level of EI and OCB. Moreover, students' EI was directly correlated with their OCB. The study exhibits that expressions of emotions intelligently together with the expressions of OCB eventually enhance students' academic performance that is subsequently improving the performance of the universities.

This research has two objectives. First, it explores the spending patterns of the households who receive monetary compensation for their land that government takes over for initiating national projects; in our case, it is about building the countrys largest dam. Second, it examines what we call the demonstration effects. Literature abounds with cases examining behaviors of internally displaced individuals while the opposite is true for the compensated displaced households. This is the backdrop, this research carried out a field survey to collect data for 192 households. The compensation received is divided into communal land compensation and private land compensation. In line with arguments with the Keynesian consumption function that provides the theoretical foundation to our empirical work, findings suggest a positive and significant correlation between spending patterns and private land compensation while the communal compensation appears to be insignificant. Education and one out of two demonstration effects have positive influence on spending behaviors.

SPSS 23.0 was used to execute analyses that revealed that emotional intelligence was somehow having negative relationship with work-family conflict yet positively associated with self-efficacy. Findings of linear regression analysis divulge that emotional intelligence and self-efficacy are significant negative predictors of work-family conflict. Results from the current research provide insight for future researchers in seeking line of further inquiry on psychosocial dynamics of work-family life patterns of female lawyers.
