Organizational culture and career salience both were relevant to each other which enhanced the organization performance. Questionnaires were distributed among 180 banking employees from 3 banks which are (HBL, ABL, and BAL). Organizational culture and career salience were measured on the behalf of these banks. The analysis shows that bureaucratic, innovative, and supportive cultures influenced the career salience. Hence organizational culture and career salience had direct and significant relationship with each other. The research was narrowed down for controlling the actual essence of this research. Regarding these limitations the study was conducted for the employees of banking sector. Owing to the time span three banks were selected. On the practical level the organizational culture and career salience enhanced the employees and organizational efficiency and effectiveness as well as it achieved the organizational and employees goals. The uniqueness of this study considered that organizational culture effects on employee's career salience.

Design/methodology/approach-The paper is based on a survey and will facilitate to promote the spirit of entrepreneurship among the women of Pakistan to face the challenges in the future. Findings-The findings of the study point out that, in Pakistani society (Potohar region) entrepreneurial women are working on a very small level due to little or no knowledge and lack of resources. Research limitations/implications-The paper is restricted to urban territories of Potohar region. It is absolutely descriptive and is not explanatory. Practical implications-It is due to gender-based stereotypes that entrepreneurial women face certain barriers in gaining access to resources for their start up ventures. If the authors empower the women economically it will inturn improve the economic condition of the country. Originality/value-Owing to lack of research in this particular area, the paper will contribute to identifying and resolving the primary challenges of women entrepreneurship in Pakistan. The paper will also provide grounds for further in-depth research on women entrepreneurship in Pakistan.

The extent of CSR literature has mainly focused on macro concepts rather than micro concepts. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of internal corporate social responsibility on employees' behavior through their attitude as micro analysis. Therefore, the present study has explored the indirect mechanism of perceived internal corporate social responsibility and organizational citizenship behavior through sequential mediation of perceived organizational support and organizational trust that helps in attaining the desired organizational goals as organizational citizenship behavior.

DESIGN: Prospective Study. SETTINGS: Neonatal Unit of Hospital and PNC Ward. SUBJECTS & METHODS: Prospective Study was conducted including 100 babies born with meconium stained amniotic fluid who are admitted in NICU and with mother in PNC ward in a period of six months (April 2012-October 2012) excluding those who born with congenital abnormalities. Detail history of babies and mother with MSAF noted with emphasis on antepartum and intrapartum risk factors and outcome in terms of morbidity and mortality. RESULTS: Incidence of MSAF in the study was 8. 98%. Out of 100, 24 babies were admitted to NICU with most common indications being birth asphyxia (16%) and Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) (6%). Majority babies were delivered through thin Meconium Stained Liquor (MSL) (44%) followed by thick (35%) and moderate (21%). Total number of deaths were 9 and all these babies had thick meconium with severe birth asphyxia. Ninety one babies were born at >37 weeks of gestation and 57 had birth weight over 2. 5 Kg. Nineteen percent were non vigorous requiring tracheal suctioning and positive pressure ventilation at birth. Common mode of delivery was emergency Cesarean in 83% patients. Common maternal and fetal risk factors were fetal distress (30%) followed by Oligohydramnios (30%), Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) (24%), anemia (14%), severe anemia (5%), Antepartum hemorrhage (4%) and Antepartum eclampsia (4%). CONCLUSIONS: Oligohydramnios, PIH, anemia and fetal distress were common antenatal and intranatal factors associated with MSAF. Major morbidity and indication for NICU admission was Birth asphyxia and non vigorous babies. Mortality rate was 9% which is commonly associated with thick meconium and severe birth asphyxia. KEY WORDS: Meconium stained amniotic fluid, meconium aspiration syndrome, early neonatal outcome INTRODUCTION: Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) continues to be threat to many newborns throughout the world with a case fatality rate of 5% (as much as 40%), in addition to short and long term pulmonary and neurodevelopmental sequelae (1) India has the unfortunate distinction of claiming more than a quarter of the total newborn deaths in the world (2). One such attribute is meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) which complicates delivery in approximately 8% to 15% of live births (3). In a large series, MSAF was found in 12% of 1,77,000 live births. MAS occurs in 1-3% of all cases of MSAF and in 10-30% of neonates with meconium aspiration (4). Various risk factors are associated with increased mortality and morbidity in MAS like postterm babies, primipara and grand multipara, unbooked mothers, mothers with toxemia of pregnancy or prolonged rupture of the membranes, infants with moderate or severe birth asphyxia and
