This Study focused on employee empowerment and how empowerment is related to job satisfaction and employee's commitment with the organization in the banking sector of Pakistan. It also evaluates the empowerment given to employees in banking sector of Pakistan, their satisfaction, and commitment level. Hypothesis statements contend that employee empowerment positively affects the job satisfaction and employee's commitment. Data was collected from 334 employees from the different braches of banks in Lahore. Findings of the study support the hypothesis. In addition, it is also found that job satisfaction has a positive impact on employee's commitment with the organization. Employee empowerment offers organizations an invaluable tool in their quest for organizational competitiveness.

This book offers an in-depth study of the design and challenges addressed by a high-level synthesis tool targeting a specific class of cryptographic kernels, i.e. symmetric key cryptography. With the aid of detailed case studies, it also discusses optimization strategies that cannot be automatically undertaken by CRYKET (Cryptographic kernels toolkit. The dynamic nature of cryptography, where newer cryptographic functions and attacks frequently surface, means that such a tool can help cryptographers expedite the very large scale integration (VLSI) design cycle by rapidly exploring various design alternatives before reaching an optimal design option. Features include flexibility in cryptographic processors to support emerging cryptanalytic schemes; area-efficient multinational designs supporting various cryptographic functions; and design scalability on modern graphics processing units (GPUs). These case studies serve as a guide to cryptographers exploring the design of efficient cryptographic implementations.
