Three objectives were examined for the study namely: the techniques used in preservation and conservation of old administrative records, the causes of deterioration of these old administrative records in Etche, and the challenges. The descriptive survey research was adopted on a total of (28) employees and management of Etche Local Government Area. A total of 18 employees and 10 management staff were used. The study found among other things that the effect of rodents, fire, floods, dampness, moisture, etc. were the major causes of deterioration of old administrative records. Identified challenges were lack of record offices, lack of policy strategy, staff and funds. Based on the findings, a number of recommendations were made, which include: employment of professional staff, training and retraining of staff, good funding and policy statement in the area of disaster preparedness, so as to reduce loss or damage of old administrative records.","PeriodicalId":170497,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Library and Information Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128648198","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}
{"title":"Effect of Ouchi Theory Z on the Performance of Selected Microfinance Banks in Warri Metropolis in Delta State","authors":"G. Agbele, O.

The hypothetical aim was to ascertain the type of relationship that exists between the variables. The population covered 50 staff (Senior and Junior) of the selected Microfinance Bank in the area under study. The instrument employed for data collection was through personal (face-to-face) discussion with the respondents. Positive and reliable results were obtained. The data was analyzed through tables and chi-square statistical technique. The findings revealed that negative correlation exists between Ouchi theory Z and performance of Microfinance Bank. Calculated value less than the critical value (0.722 < 3.84) was equally 0bserved. This connotes a negative relationship between the dependent and independent variable. Microfinance banks in the area under study have been operating independently without the application of Ouchi theory Z that encourages workers/employees satisfaction that result in an increase in productivity. The study recommended that team work should be encouraged among Microfinance Bank. There should be employee participation in decision making and strategic planning among Microfinance Banks. Again, constant and continuous communication (CCC) leadership style should be maintained between employees and employers of Microfinance Banks for maximum productivity.","PeriodicalId":170497,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Library and Information Management","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128595224","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}
