A unique dimension of employee efficiency is reported in this paper.
Sexuality in the work place, as well as rendezvous and romance in this context, have already received some attention from researchers but the topic is underexplored, most probably due to differences between Western culture and Asian culture. The primary focus of the study was to investigate the role played by religion in determining an employee’s sexual behavior, and in asking them to act
within certain limits? The socio-economic circumstances, norms, customs, and
obsession with social status that lead to delayed marriages push people into a
corner, leaving them with the possible option of religiously forbidden actions
where sexual desire is concerned. After indulging in such actions, regret and
remorse create sexual frustration in employees, and this sexual frustration compromises
their efficiency in the workplace. Ordinal regression and manipulations
in syntax of ordinal regression were used to measure this concept. The study
revealed that religiously forbidden actions and sexual frustration significantly
diminishes the efficiency of some employees, whereas married and female employees
are less sexually frustrated and thus are more efficient in the workplace.

This paper investigates the effect of managerial attributes like, age of manager, qualification of manager, experience of manager, age of fund and management fee on performance of mutual funds. For this purpose open ended equity funds of 19 assets management companies with a data set ranging from 2010 to 2014 is taken. Fixed effect panel regression is used to control the unobserved heterogeneity between the assets management companies. Results reveal that managers' qualification, age, total experience in mutual fund industry are positively and significantly related to performance of funds whereas, age of fund is negatively related to fund performance. Secondly, explanatory variable, management fee is not related to performance of mutual fund in Pakistan.

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to explain the emergence of CSR in Afghanistan as a novel context in the South-Asian CSR debate.

Design/methodology/approach
– The findings of the paper are based on case studies of four corporations in the Afghan mobile telecommunications industry. Multiple sources of qualitative data are coded according to the analytical framework of the paper to generate the findings.

Findings
– The findings highlight that the Afghan national setting can be conceptualised as an “area of limited statehood” indicating the weak national institutional setting, which enables space for manoeuvring for non-state actors to play a pivotal role in business-society relations. The paper highlights that the CSR practices are driven by the multi-level organisational field that through a unique blend of global coercive, mimetic and normative pressures lead to convergence around explicit CSR themes.

Research limitations/implications
– The findings are based on CSR practices that are explicitly stated and do not include informal and/or implicit business-society practices in such contexts.

Originality/value
– This paper combines the literature on areas of limited statehood and the neo-institutional theory to explain the emergence of CSR the Afghan mobile telecommunications industry. The paper advocates for a shift from a national setting focus to a multi-level institutional field lens in providing contextualised explanation of the emergence of CSR in developing countries.
