Specifically, this study sought to find out the relationship between: records keeping and employee effectiveness; document handling and employee performance, as well as adequate records safety and availability of record facilities. The study adopted the survey research design using primary sources of data. Fifty-eight full time academic staff of Renaissance University Ugbawka, Enugu state served as the population of this study, out of which, 47 responses were used for analysis. Again, data were collected and analyzed using tables and simple percentages. Stated hypotheses were tested using Multiple Regression Analysis at 0.05 level of significance in SPSS version 21. The study found positive and significant relationships between record keeping and employee effectiveness and between document handling and employee performance. Statistically speaking, the study did not find any positive and significant relationship between adequate records safety and availability of facilities. Thus, the study concluded that proper records keeping helps to avert the stress of duplicating recording efforts, saves time used in recreating such records and enables users to compare performance over time, thereby improving employee effectiveness. Again, when organizations properly handle their records, staff achieve greater results by working in line with the records policies; records become easier to handle and the staff utilize their recording time effectively, thereby improving employee performance. In addition, adequate safety of organizational records enables proper identification and location of records, easy access to records by users and accountability among staff.","PeriodicalId":130860,"journal":{"name":"ARRUS Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130278099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that culture, opinion leadership, social class, family and ethnicity have significant influence on fashion consumption among undergraduate students. The study recommends amongst others that marketers in the fashion business should continuously scan their social-cultural environment and assess its influence on consumer’s behaviour both at the personal and societal level with a view to enhancing their capacity to recognize, resist as necessary, and make international decision that will both be beneficial to them and their customers.","PeriodicalId":130860,"journal":{"name":"ARRUS Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116210664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, the study explores the relationship between board size, board composition, audit committee independence, gender diversity, and financial performance - return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA). Arguing from the agency and resource dependency theories, data covering the period 2010-2019 were collected from the audited annual accounts of ten purposively-chosen deposit money banks. To provide robust analysis of data and ensure triangulation of methods, the multiple regression analysis in SPSS version 21 and the Smart PLS structural equation modeling (SEM) were applied. Findings indicate that while board size and audit committee independence are negatively related with corporate financial performance, gender diversity showed positive relationship, and board composition demonstrated mixed relationship. The study recommends among others that firms should try to reduce their board size to plus or minus ten, and also reduce the number of outside (external or non-executive) board members, but with strict adherence to the regulatory guideline.

In this context, an interesting query is the determinants of time deposit. This paper measures the determinants of time deposit in the commercial banks of Nepal based on 15 years’ time series data sets from 2000-01 to 2017-18 of the sample commercial banks published by the central bank of Nepal. Using descriptive statistics and multiple regression models as the analytical tools, the paper has found a fluctuating trend of liquidity in the commercial banks but the inclining trend of external and internal variables including GDP, Deposit, Capital, Size of Bank, remittance, and public debt. In this trend, the liquidity of the commercial banks depends significantly on time deposits and remittance inflow. Besides, the positive trend of time deposit from 1994-95 to 2017-18 has caused the positive trend of total deposit from 1994-95 to 2017-18. Additionally, the paper has found that GDP per capita, US exchange rate, interest rate, and the branch of the bank are positively and significant determinants to the time deposit of the commercial bank but the inflation rate is negatively and determinant with significance. The internal variables are more determinants than the external variables to the time deposits. It is clear that time deposit is a reliable and long-term source to main the bank liquidity of the commercial bank for their financial stability and performance depends on more the internal variables than the external variables. Therefore, the commercial bank should reform as mentioned in the monetary policy and money market dynamics to improve the competitiveness and smartness of bank policy including interest rate policy and branch of the commercial banks for effective mobilization of the scattered small resources all over the country for the higher rate of capital formation, investment, and economic growth.","PeriodicalId":130860,"journal":{"name":"ARRUS Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"19 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116581459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, crime victims, who should be in the frontline of providing this information to law enforcement agents are often lethargic and lackadaisical in doing so, owing to no fault of theirs. Thus, this paper explored the convergence between socio-demographic variables and crime reporting in Nigeria. Empirically, the study examined the relationship between the attitude of law enforcement agents, location of the crime, nature of the crime, and attitude to crime reporting. Mixed methods, including a cross-sectional survey and in-depth interview, was used to collect data from 1112 respondents through a multi-stage sampling technique. The quantitative data were analysed using simple linear regression; while, the qualitative data collected were analysed in themes as a complement to the quantitative data. Findings revealed that attitudes of law enforcement agents, crime location and nature of crime significantly affect attitude to crime reporting in the study area. The study concludes that there is a connection between selected socio-demographic variables such as attitudes of law enforcement agents, crime location, nature of crime and attitude to crime reporting. It was, therefore, recommended that law enforcement officers who fail to abide by the ethics of their profession and the standard procedure governing their interaction with both complainants and suspects should be severely sanctioned.
