Title	:	Measurement of Financial Motivator's Effectiveness in Pharmaceutical Companies in Bangladesh
Country	:	Bangladesh
Authors	:	Dr. Md. Mahbub Sharfaraj
	:	10.9790/487X-1550817

Abstract: Here the researcher has presented a comparative measurement of financial elements that motivates employees. Like other organizations it is important for the related parties to know what motivates the employees to work. The study on motivation has to determine two major things. First, the degree of need satisfaction of each category as desired by the employees and second, the extent of which such needs are currently being met effectively. These two figures may help in finding out the deficiency, if any in the area of need satisfaction. Motivation theory prescribes us that compensation packages must be designed with employees needs in mind, if the rewards are to create satisfaction and stimulate them to high levels of job productivity. Otherwise, high levels of productivity in job and job satisfaction will not be sustained. Here the researcher has attempted to determine the level of motivation of the employees to the various financial motivators existing in their organization. Thus he has tried to know, whether the employees of the selected companies are motivated or not. To measure the motivation level, Likert's five-point scale has been used. The total number and percentage of respondents belonging to each level of satisfaction have been shown separately.

Title	:	Infrastructure projects financing. An alternative to debt financing
Country	:	Pakistan
Authors	:	Ashfaq Ahmad, Muhammad Zaheer, Salman Masood, Saqib Usman
	:	10.9790/487X-1554852

Abstract: There is high unemployment and high inflation in developing countries like Pakistan. These countries can attract foreign direct investment by improving their infrastructure and education facilities. But they do not have huge amounts to finance these projects. So they have to turn to IMF, World Bank and other international financial institutions for expensive loans with strict terms and conditions. This paper presents an alternative to these costly loans with no strict condition. A model has been adopted to express the working of this financing mode. Qualitative approach has been used to collect data from different articles. By following the examples of Malaysia, UAE, Qatar and Indonesia, Pakistan and many other developing countries can easily attract huge funding for infrastructure projects as there is a high demand for Sovereign Sukuks in the international market. The basic requirement of Sovereign Ijarah Sukuks is underlying assets.
