The mining industry in Zimbabwe has been extensively affected by the loss of key personnel in key areas such as engineering, metallurgy and geology among others. The loss of such vital employees in the mining sector has had a negative impact on output and consequently loss of the much-needed revenue to the Zimbabwean economy. It is against this background that there is need to establish the establish the effect of training and development on employee attraction and retention in the mining sector. The quantitative method research was employed in this study. An interview guide was used to collect data during consultative meetings and semi-structured interview platforms. The purposive sampling technique was employed in this study. The main findings were poor employee motivation due to the failure to train and develop personnel but poor leadership style being employed, lack of employee ascension to higher levels within the organisation. This study recommends that managers in the Zimbabwe mining sector should strive to train their employees so that their skills remain current as well as developing employees in a bid to expose them to perform additional duties and assume positions of importance in the organisational hierarchy.","PeriodicalId":14213,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Management Research","volume":"141 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90597389","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}

The research involved 80 junior high school students from two integrated high schools in the province of Laguna. The results indicated that physical education teachers exhibited a high level of perceived knowledge, skills, and professional value positions. Similarly, the students' cognitive abilities in terms of comprehension, memory, and application were found to be highly satisfactory. Furthermore, the analysis using Pearson correlation revealed significant relationships between different variables. Specifically, knowledge and skills were significantly correlated with memory, indicating that the level of knowledge and skills possessed by physical education teachers had a positive impact on students' memory abilities. Additionally, the findings showed a significant correlation between memory and professional value positions, suggesting that students' memory performance was influenced by the professional values demonstrated by their physical education teachers. These findings highlight the importance of competent physical education teachers in enhancing students' cognitive learning. The results suggest that teachers who possess extensive knowledge and skills in physical education can positively influence students' memory abilities, which are crucial for effective cognitive learning. Moreover, the study emphasizes the significance of professional values among physical education teachers, as they can contribute to the development of students' memory skills. These findings can serve as a foundation for future research and can also guide educational institutions and policymakers in designing effective training programs for physical education teachers to improve their competencies and ultimately enhance students' cognitive learning outcomes.","PeriodicalId":14213,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Management Research","volume":"412 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84883542","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}

The research followed a descriptive-developmental approach and collected data through a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, such as mean and standard deviation, were used to analyze the assessment data. Additionally, ANOVA was employed to determine if there were significant differences in the assessment between groups of respondents. The findings of the study revealed that the respondents were highly satisfied with all aspects of the module, including its external and internal features. The assessment of the module's usability, adaptability, generalizability, and overall features received an \"extremely satisfied\" rating from the participants. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the assessment of the module among different groups of respondents, which included Tech-Voc. Faculty, Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) students, and laboratory high school students. These results indicate that the developed module in dressmaking is deemed acceptable by various groups of participants and has the potential to be an effective instructional material for teaching Dressmaking among TLE students. The study suggests that further research should consider conducting pilot tests of the module to validate its effectiveness. By doing so, educators and curriculum developers can gather more evidence on the module's efficacy and make any necessary adjustments. In conclusion, this study contributes to the field of Dressmaking education by providing an assessment of a researcher-developed module. The positive evaluation from participants and the absence of significant differences among different groups of respondents support the module's potential as an instructional resource. Further research can build upon these findings to strengthen the evidence base and facilitate the integration of the module into Dressmaking curricula.","PeriodicalId":14213,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Management Research","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86261940","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}

Acceptance of product placement, awareness of the placed brand, brand attitude, and purchase intention are thought to be the four key factors (variables) affecting product placement in this article. In order to determine the relationship between the named variables, marketing research was conducted, on the basis of which the respondents' opinions regarding traditional advertising and product placement were identified. It has been demonstrated that traditional advertising loses its potency over time, and that's why product placement is now preferred in the Georgian market over traditional advertising. Using regression analysis, statistically significant values were obtained, which reflect the relationship between the acceptance of product placement and awareness of the placed brand, as well as the impact of the mentioned variables on the attitude towards brands. The article further examines how product placement influences Georgian consumer’s attitudes towards brands and thereby impacts their purchase intensions.","PeriodicalId":14213,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Management Research","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83634162","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}

This paper embarks on a rigorous journey through the academic landscape, focusing on two vital dimensions: board features and disclosure within sustainability reporting. Our objective is twofold: firstly, to illuminate the intricate concept of materiality within sustainability reporting, and secondly, to present a novel governance-centric framework that offers fresh insights, implications, and a significant contribution to the field. Drawing inspiration from stakeholder theory and the resource-based view theory, our framework transcends the conventional boundaries of sustainability reporting. By scrutinizing the intersections of governance, board features, and disclosure, this research not only sheds light on previously unexplored areas but also provides a roadmap for companies to enhance their performance while solidifying their commitment to sustainability. The implications of our findings extend beyond the theoretical realm, offering actionable guidance for companies seeking to embrace sustainability reporting as a driver of progress. In a world where sustainability is no longer a choice but an imperative, our study offers a timely and robust foundation for future research endeavors and practical applications, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and responsible business landscape.","PeriodicalId":14213,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Management Research","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135401852","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}

We first consider the main components of market emergence in Lebanon, including the size, depth, activity, and transparency of the market, and proceed to a descriptive analysis. Aggregating these observations into four bootstrapped indexes, we analyze the factors leading to market emergence with a probity model. We find that market size and activity seem to affect market emergence, whereas pricing and transparency do not. Finally, decomposing country-level probabilities and implementing a cluster analysis suggest that the average process of market emergence is more pronounced in the Lebanon region than it is in other emerging areas, such as Latin America and Eastern Europe. Overall, the results suggest that the Lebanon capital markets may attract more capital flows in the future. However, the markets are still heterogeneous: Whereas Turkey, Jordan, and Egypt are moving closer to the standards of developed countries, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Morocco can still be viewed as frontier markets.","PeriodicalId":14213,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Management Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135595709","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}
