Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2024 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Employee Motivation, grade: 6.0, Olabisi Onabanjo University (Secretarial Administration), language: English, abstract: This research investigates the influence of self-efficacy, welfare, and motivation on the productivity of secretaries at the Lagos Secretariat, Alausa, Lagos State. Employing a descriptive research design, the study selected 123 secretaries (50% of the population) from the Lagos Secretariat. Utilizing instruments such as the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Economic and Welfare Packages Scale (EWPS), Employee Motivation and Performance Scale (EMPS), and Employee Productivity Scale (EPS), data were collected and analyzed. Demographic data were examined through frequency distribution and percentage analysis, while simple linear regression analysis was employed to test the hypothesis at a significance level of 0.05, using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences IBM SPSS. The findings indicated no significant impact of self-efficacy on secretary productivity. However, there was a substantial effect of economic and recreational welfare packages on secretary productivity at the Lagos Secretariat. Additionally, motivation was found to significantly influence secretary productivity. The study also uncovered a significant relationship among self-efficacy, welfare, and motivation in shaping secretary productivity at the Lagos Secretariat, Alausa, Lagos State. In conclusion, the study asserts that self-efficacy, welfare, and motivation play a crucial role in influencing the productivity of secretaries at the Lagos Secretariat in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos. The recommendations propose that organizations should ensure fair compensation for secretarial work, conduct regular salary reviews aligned with industry standards, and introduce incentives or bonuses for outstanding performance. These measures aim to enhance motivation, foster optimal performance, and elevate overall

Download or read book Rethinking Democratic Accountability written by Robert D. Behn and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004-05-26 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, American government has created detailed, formal procedures to ensure that its agencies and employees are accountable for finances and fairness. Now in the interest of improved performance, we are asking our front-line workers to be more responsive, we are urging our middle managers to be innovative, and we are exhorting our public executives to be entrepreneurial. Yet what is the theory of democratic accountability that empowers public employees to exercise such discretion while still ensuring that we remain a government of laws? How can government be responsive to the needs of individual citizens and still remain accountable to the entire polity? In Rethinking Democratic Accountability, Robert D. Behn examines the ambiguities, contradictions, and inadequacies in our current systems of accountability for finances, fairness, and performance. Weaving wry observations with political theory, Behn suggests a new model of accountability—with "compacts of collective, mutual responsibility"—to address new paradigms for public management.

Download or read book Housing and SDGs in Urban Africa written by Timothy Gbenga Nubi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a dearth of collections of scholarly works dedicated wholly to African issues, that comes out of the work done by African scholars and practitioners with both African collaborators and from elsewhere. This volume brings together scholarly works and thoughts that cut across and intertwine the tripods-environment-consciousness, socially just development and African development into options that could deliver on the promise of the SDGs. The book project is an initiative of the Centre for Housing and Sustainable Development at the University of Lagos, which realized the gap in ground research linking the housing sector with the SDGs in African cities. This book therefore presents chapters that explore the interconnections, interactions and linkages between the SDGs and Housing through research, practice, experience, case-studies, desk-based research and other knowledge media.
Download or read book Industrial Clusters Institutions and Poverty in Nigeria written by Oyebanke Oyeyinka and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic examination of the relationship between industrial clusters and poverty, which is analyzed using a multidimensional framework. It examines the often-neglected concept of social protection as a means of mitigating the risks and vulnerabilities faced by workers and citizens in poor countries. By analyzing the case of the Otigba Information and Communications Technology cluster in Lagos, Nigeria, the author shows under which conditions firms in productive clusters can pass on benefits to workers in ways that improve their living standards in the wider socio-economic and spatial context of the region. The results presented provide substantial evidence of opportunities for economic development, helping planners to explore different avenues for integrating firm-driven social protection into social policy.

Download or read book Federalism and Political Restructuring in Nigeria written by Kunle Amuwo and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty essays by four generations of Nigerian scholars are included in this volume, the first to examine the historical, political, economic and comparative dimensions of attempts by the military to restructure the Nigerian federation. Evidence is accumulated in support of the book's central thesis that autocratic rule is antipathetic to the sustenance of genuine federal practice, and that federal restructuring initiated under the tight control of repressive governments cannot but lead to a situation in which federalism is assaulted, if not dismantled. It is argued that, in such a context, the vending of a federal doctrine becomes more or less an exercise in the propagation of false consciousness in the service of power - portraying a picture of divided power to hide the reality of undivided power.

Download or read book Nigerian Video Films written by Jonathan Haynes and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigerian video films--dramatic features shot on video and sold as cassettes--are being produced at the rate of nearly one a day, making them the major contemporary art form in Nigeria. The history of African film offers no precedent for such a huge, popularly based industry. The contributors to this volume, who include film and television directors, an anthropologist, and scholars of film studies and literature, take a variety of approaches to this flourishing popular art. Topics include aesthetic forms and distribution; the configurations of various ethnic audiences; the new media environment dominated by cassette technology; the video's materialism in a period of economic collapse; transformation of the traditional Yoruba traveling theater; individualism and the moral crisis in Igbo society; Hausa cultural values; the negotiation of gender roles, and the genre of Christian videos.
