{"title":"THE IMPACT OF STRESS ON PRODUCTIVITY – EVIDENCE FROM THE ACADEMIC STAFF OF FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OYE-EKITI, NIGERIA","authors":"Akindola, Rufus B., Ajewole, Idowu Philip, Abimbola, Oluremi","doi":"10.53555/eijbms.v9i2.139","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53555/eijbms.v9i2.139","url":null,"abstract":"Stress is part of the inevitable stimuli to productivity, efficiency and effectiveness showcased by employees in organisations. It is a universal phenomenon and part of the prices to pay for effective productivity in establishments. This is essentially because without going through stress, it will be difficult to have any meaningful input expected of workers as well as the attainments of the aims, objectives and goals of an organisation. However, exposure of employees to a high level of stress ironically jeopardises the chances of their optimal productivity; hence, loss to the organisation. University Lecturers are part of the employees that are mostly affected by excessive stress. Thus, this paper critically examined the impact of stress on productivity among the academic staff of Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Nigeria. Examined in this paper are the definitions of the basic concepts, factors responsible for excessive stress among university Lecturers and the impact of such on their productivity. Out of 200 questionnaire distributed, the researchers were able to retrieved 52 from the respondents which were used for the analysis of the study. The statistical analysis of this project work and plots were all carried out using python3 package. All the data analysis, data manipulation and static and interactive visualizations were done using different open source libraries in python which include numpy, pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, sklearn, graphviz, dtreeviz, plotly, cufflinks, statsmodels and scipy. The findings revealed that work overload, excessive pressures, overcrowded classes, meeting deadlines, administrative duties, students’ unrest, cultism, lack of motivation, accommodation challenges and lack of conducive environment have been associated with the factors that are responsible for the exposure of lecturers to excessive stress which invariably have negative impact on their productivity. Thus, vital recommendations are made on better means by which the university Lecturers can better manage stress.","PeriodicalId":385758,"journal":{"name":"EPH - International Journal of Business & Management Science","volume":"269 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114476261","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 banking sector in Ethiopia is an integral part of the financial sector in particular and the economy as a whole. Its contribution to the country's macroeconomic stability and growth objectives is evident. This research paper aims to provide insight into the origin and development of the banking sector in Ethiopia, as well as its current structure, regulatory framework, performance, and status quo. The study is entirely based on the review of literature from various secondary sources. The paper concludes that even if the banking sector has witnessed a sea change during the past three decades, its overall achievement lags far behind that of several other Sub-Saharan African countries, the rest of the world, and international standards. However, the paper indicates that there is a huge growth potential for the banking business in Ethiopia.","PeriodicalId":385758,"journal":{"name":"EPH - International Journal of Business & Management Science","volume":"173 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115266769","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 sampled 15 firms that claim to adopt and apply IFRS-16 starting effective January 2019. We examined their varying degree of disclosure compliance based on their audited annual reports for 2019 & 2020. A compliance checklist index based upon the IFRS compliance, presentation and disclosure checklist 2021 and KPMG Guide to annual financial statements – Disclosure checklist 2020 was adapted for this study. We found that disclosures were generally not comprehensive enough in terms adequacy of the disclosures relating to adoption of the new standard, judgement made by management in the application of the company’s accounting policy, insufficient entity-specific information, when explaining their accounting policy for leases. Most of the entities failed to disclose the measurement policy applied to right of use assets at transition and how the company’s incremental borrowing rate is determined. The surveys also provide indications that the level of compliance differs among the subsector ranging from low to moderate level of disclosure. This level of insufficiency of disclosures is an indication of lack of necessary transparency to investors regarding exposures, risks, uncertainties, and leverage which raise doubt over whether the disclosure objective of IFRS16 had been met, as envisage by the standard.","PeriodicalId":385758,"journal":{"name":"EPH - International Journal of Business & Management Science","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115331218","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 aims at identifying the role of CRM in enhancing port performance in regard to customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in MENA ports context. A quantitative research approach through use of questionnaire survey is used to answer the research questions and achieve the objectives of the study. Egyptian port customers and employees are used as the case study of the research for data collection, a total 403 valid questionnaires are collected form users of MENA ports, analysis and findings. Descriptive statistics is used to describe the findings and regression analysis used to describe and evaluate the relationship between the constructs. Finally, the results indicates that there is a positive relationship between E-CRM implication and port performance. Also, there is a positive relationship between E-CRM implication and customer satisfaction as well as customer loyalty. In addition, the relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty is positive and statistically significant. Therefore, both customer satisfaction and customer loyalty have a positive impact on port performance as well.
