{"title":"From Margins to Centre: Relocating Youth Participation in Radical Politics of International Development","authors":"Gamel Abdul-Nasser Salifu","doi":"10.5430/ijba.v13n3p45","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5430/ijba.v13n3p45","url":null,"abstract":"This paper focuses on youth participation in decision-making processes for economic growth and development. Very little is known of the effectivity of rural youth participation in the developing world. Drawing on recent empirical evidence of youth participation in economics and development research, the paper identifies the growing interest of policy makers on shorthanded interventions aimed at improving young lives. Going beyond official blueprints and the stated objectives of international development interventions, interventions have widely emphasized the mechanical aspects of projects rather than the direct impact of interventions on young beneficiaries. Understanding this is critical for development as recent projects’ high rate of failure and unintended consequences for beneficiaries continue to grow. Based on the review of over 100 documented cases of youth participation in Africa, Asia and Latin America, the paper offers a conceptual guide, reinforced by methodological suggestions for studying the representational ‘afterlives’ of development interventions. Inspired by the phenomenological works of economic development research, the paper recognizes young voices as repositories of non-hegemonic knowledge with the ability to creatively re-appropriate development legacies. While such conclusions may have been kept under relative control, they come to fore upon the termination of interventions. A grassroots-based approach aimed at studying post-intervention communities would reveal the palimpsest-like multilayers of flagship programmes across the developing world.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79448243","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}

A neo-marxist perspective indicates that creative economy reinforced the gap among innovators, investors, and those who work for them. According to a post-structural perspective, the formulas for the development of creative economy or creative city are homogenizing and contribute to the marginalization of differences. A postcolonial perspective indicates that marginalized societies in the capitalist system were conceived as blank spaces in which socioeconomic governance recommendations applied for creative sectors in North Atlantic societies could be replicated. Feminist approaches and queer theory highlight hierarchies related to gender, sexual orientation, race, and ethnicity in creative industries, despite the supposedly inclusive notions of creative economy and creative class.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91178897","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":"The Influence of Ethical leadership and Organizational Culture on Employee Commitment in the South Africa Local Government Municipality","authors":"Joseph Mbulaheni Ndou, Albert T. Agbenyegah","doi":"10.35808/ijeba/765","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35808/ijeba/765","url":null,"abstract":": Purpose: This study aims to determine the influence of ethical leadership and organisational culture on employee commitment in a South African local government municipality in Gauteng Province. Design/methodology/approach: The authors adopted a cross-sectional quantitative research design. Primary data was gathered by administering a five-point Likert scale questionnaire to respondents online. Respondents were selected through the probability simple random sampling technique. Field data were analysed using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS version 27) aided by descriptive tools of standard deviation, mean and frequency while the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), correlation analysis, and structural equation model (SEM) were used to make inferences from the data. The authors employed correlation to assess the relationship between ethical leadership, organisational culture, and employee commitment. Findings: The outcomes of the study indicated positive correlations between the variables. This implies that an increase in one variable means a similar increase in the other. However, it emerged that organizational culture influences employee commitment more than ethical leadership. Practical implications: Regarding the influence of ethical leadership, it is recommended that organisations such as the local municipalities need focus on human resource development programmes, institute mentorship, and training initiatives to assist managers. The municipalities must further reinforce empowerment traits, and establish staff development centres to enhance existing the performance of municipal leaders in management positions. Besides, it is recommended that the management of municipalities practice “the leading by example phenomenon” and “the role modeling culture” to improve employee performance and commitment. Originality/value: Though there has been several empirical studies on ethical leadership and organisational culture, the analytical framework adopted outlines practical approaches that municipal managers need to adopt to enhance ethical leadership and culture in organisations.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82618777","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}

Design/methodology/approach: Secondary data has been used in the analysis. Content analysis has been done by using Data Analysis method- PSPP: Correlation. Findings: According to the results, the correlation between gender gap in economic participation and opportunities and growth and development is 0.33. Due to the scarcity of data on access to women to economic opportunities the correlation was low. If study the table closely, it was determined that countries with low gender gap in economic participation were doing well in growth and development. Practical implications: The paper has guiding significance for the overall development of an economy by keeping in mind the importance of gender parity, and also provides the scientific reasoning that gender parity in economic participation can lead to higher growth and development levels. Originality/value: This paper has reviewed the degree of gender in economic participation, effects of it in development and the relationship between development and gender parity in economic participation and opportunities.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74544687","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":"The Role of Informal Financing on the Sustainability of Entrepreneurship in Kumba Municipality","authors":"Veronica Dinla Jumfongai, N. D. Thomas","doi":"10.35808/ijeba/770","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35808/ijeba/770","url":null,"abstract":": Purpose: The main objective of this study was to identify the importance of informal financing in underlying the sustainability of businesses. Design/methodology/approach: In carrying out this research information was gathered from Kumba Municipality using primary sources of data, with the help of simple random sampling technique. A questionnaire was designed and administered and observations related to the main objective of this study were gathered. The study employed descriptive methods to summarize the opinions of the respondents and used the Probit regression model to assess the role of informal financing in explaining business sustainability in Kumba. Findings: Findings indicated that entrepreneurs mobilize majority (67.7%) of their funds from informal sources of financing out of which 38.7% come from njangi groups, 12.9% from friends and families and the remainder is gotten informally from credit unions. This is a clear indication that informal financing contributes greatly to the growth of entrepreneurship in Kumba municipality. The probit regression results indicated that borrowing from a financial institution does not play a significant role in boosting the survival of businesses in Kumba. Practical implications: The paper affirms that borrowing from family and friends has a significant likelihood to improve business survival in Kumba municipally. The probit regression results also indicated that funds borrowed from njangi groups have a significant likelihood to boosting business survival in this municipally. Originality/value: Studies on business survival and informal financing are rare in Cameroon. Businesses operating in Kumba Municipality should make good use of the informal financing available in their locality especially njangi groups, as this has important bearings on their sustainability. liquidity real stewardship agency theory information","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87660991","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}

Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper considers the mechanism of state support for small agricultural businesses and its impact on the efficiency of agricultural production in different categories of farms, budget efficiency, the need and prospects for directing budget funds for the development of small businesses in agriculture. Farms are divided into groups depending on the marginal revenue. Findings: The efficiency of allocating budget funds of the consolidated budget is calculated. The paper describes an original approach to providing conditions for the long-term development of small businesses in agriculture. Practical Implications: If Bashkortostan continues to support the agricultural sector, the government can promote small farms and achieve sustainable growth of agricultural production by 2025. Originality/Value: Small business development in agriculture must take into account not only the scale of production but the industry specifics as well that depends much on climatic conditions and soil fertility. These factors are of particular relevance for state support considerations and economic performance.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82868042","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}

Design/methodology/approach: The model is applied mainly due to its ability to capture possible nonlinearities and stochastic volatility of real and financial variables used. The impulse response of Nigeria’s GDP, CPI inflation, exchange rate and monetary policy to U.S monetary policy proxy by shadow policy rate reveals that the effect on GDP and CPI inflation in Nigeria vary across the three major phases of U.S monetary policies (conventional, unconventional, and normalization). Findings: While the effect appeared to be positive during conventional monetary policy phase, evidence of beggar-thy-neighbour was found during unconventional and monetary policy normalization phases. The negative effect appears to be more significant and last longer than the positive effect. We, therefore, conclude that U.S monetary policy substantially explains the cyclical fluctuations in the Nigeria economy. Practical implications: The results may be used by the macroeconomic policy-makers in their attempt to capture U.S. monetary policy spillovers on macroeconomic conditions in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78292822","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}

Design/methodology/approach: This study is a quantitative research. In the study, data were collected and analysed with quantitative methods. The expressions used in the preparation of the questions were obtained from the scales in the literature. The brands used in the research were the brands most mentioned by the participants as a result of the pre-test. The questionnaire was collected online, and 390 valid questionnaires were reached. In the research, the moderator role of brand image on consumer hope, brand innovativeness and repurchase intention was revealed through analyses and contributed to the literature. At the same time, since there are not many studies on the brand image, consumer hope, brand innovation and repurchase intention of Azerbaijani consumers, is thought that this research will shed light on the studies on the subject. Findings: In this study 7 hypotheses were developed and tested. As a result of the research, it was found that brand innovativeness affects consumer hope, consumer hope affects customer satisfaction and repurchase intention, and customer satisfaction affects repurchase intention. Practical implications: The conditions prepared based on the literature on the moderator effect of brand image on the brand innovativeness, consumer hope, customer satisfaction and repurchase intentions, that contributed to the other important contributions of the research were supported as a result of the analysis. Originality/value: There are not many studies in the literature on the moderator role of brand image on brand innovativeness, consumer hope, customer satisfaction and repurchase intention. As a result of the analysis made in this study, it has been revealed that the brand image has a moderator role on these variables. With this, there are many studies conducted in different countries, but there is no any study on consumers on the topic in Azerbaijan.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88726482","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}
