The findings showed that employee motivation has a favorable and significant impact on performance in terms of job efficiency in Abuja real estate. Other findings included the fact that job security has a favorable yet negligible effect on the performance in terms of work efficiency in Abuja real estate. Salary and wages also have a positive and large impact on performance in terms of work efficiency in Abuja real estate, as well as rewards, which have a favorable and big impact on both. According to the report, real estate companies in Abuja should keep up their efforts to motivate staff members by guaranteeing their jobs, paying them a living wage, and rewarding them because doing so improves productivity.","PeriodicalId":221097,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Management Review","volume":"73 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140455773","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 study examines three key dimensions of employee engagement – absorption, vigor, and dedication – and their effects on service quality, specifically focusing on the responsiveness dimension of the SERVQUAL model. This study is important because there is a lack of representation of AMCON and similar institutions in the existing literature, particularly within the context of Nigeria's unique financial landscape. This study utilized a mixed-methods approach that included quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with AMCON employees. The analysis employed the SERVQUAL model to evaluate service quality and multiple regression analysis to explore the influence of each engagement dimension. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to a theoretical understanding of the impact of employee engagement on service quality within the asset management sector. Additionally, this study aims to provide practical insights for AMCON, potentially improving service delivery strategies and effectiveness in fulfilling its mandate. The broader implications of this study extend to similar asset management entities in emerging economies, providing a comparative perspective, and understanding of these dynamics in diverse economic and regulatory environments.","PeriodicalId":221097,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Management Review","volume":"519 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140455522","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 results of the regression analysis showed that emotional intelligence positively relates to leadership effectiveness. The study concluded that emotional intelligence is an indicator of leadership effectiveness, and employees in the University of Ibadan, Nigeria are emotionally intelligent. Self-emotion appraisal and use of emotion were the most emotional intelligence factors impacting leadership effectiveness in the organization.

Hence, the purpose of this research was to look into the effect of liquidity management on the financial performance of Nigerian oil and gas firms. Current Ratio (CUR), Quick Ratio (QUR), Cash Ratio (CAR), and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) were explored as proxy variables for liquidity management and financial performance, respectively, using an ex-post facto research approach. The study used a purposive sampling approach to collect secondary data, which was based on the availability of data at the time of the investigation. These figures were collected from five Nigerian oil and gas firms' annual financial reports, which spanned the years 2012 through 2021. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Results from the analysis revealed that Quick Ratio and Cash Ratio has a positive insignificant impact on Return on Capital Employed while Current Ratio has a negative significant impact on Return on Capital Employed.

The specific objectives of the study were to examine the relationship between board size, board independence, board meetings, and return on assets of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study adopted ex-post facto research design and secondary data were extracted from the annual reports of sampled consumer goods firms for the period 2013 – 2022. Correlation technique was used for the test of hypotheses. Findings showed that, board size does not have a strong relationship with return on assets (ROA) of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria with correlation coefficient of -0.3815. On the other hand, board independence does not have a strong relationship with return on assets (ROA) of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria with correlation coefficient of 0.2753. However, board meetings do not have a strong relationship with return on assets (ROA) of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria with correlation coefficient of -0.3904. This implies that none of the corporate governance mechanism studied can be influence return on assets of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study recommended that rather than solely increasing board size, consumer goods firms should prioritize diversity and the expertise of board members. Directors should possess skills and experience that align with the industry's specific needs. Achieving a balance between independent and non-independent directors is crucial. While board independence is important for governance, it should not impede industry-specific knowledge. Companies should strengthen board oversight mechanisms, utilizing robust audit committees and reporting structures to maintain independence while promoting industry expertise. The focus should be on the quality of board meetings rather than a specific number.","PeriodicalId":221097,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Management Review","volume":"13 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140508554","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}
