However, Employee Engagement (EE) has been labeled as an essential nutrient that organizations need in order to survive in these turbulent times. This study was to examine the effect of EE on Employee Performance during the COVID-19 pandemic and how this relationship is moderated by job demands. The study used a sample size of 395 respondents who were chosen from a variety of MSMEs via a convenience sampling method. The study used a survey questionnaire approach as the main method for collecting primary data. The result of the correlation analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between EE and employee performance. It was revealed that job resources moderated the relationship between EE and employee performance. Finally, the result showed that job resources had a significant effect on EE. Thus, it can be concluded that, in the face of COVID-19, EE is a significant predictor of the performance of employees in the MSMEs sector.","PeriodicalId":411102,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal of Business and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115147604","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 study \u0000specifically sought to find the relationship existing between managerial \u0000ownership and firm worth, non-linear relationship between managerial ownership \u0000and firm value, how managerial ownership and firm value are affected by size of \u0000firm and firm growth opportunities. Using secondary data from Ghana Stock \u0000Exchange from the period of 2015 to 2019, ten financial institutions (Banks) \u0000and ten non-financial institutions (non-bank) were purposively selected for the \u0000study, considering data availability and accessibility. Inferential statistics \u0000was adopted in analysing the data collected. The study found a weak positive linear relationship between firm worth and \u0000management’s share holdings in the organization. The findings from the \u0000second research question revealed that the \u0000nature of the bond between management share holdings and firm value was the \u0000fact that it was nonlinear, however with no visible description of shape but \u0000rather fluctuating in nature. The study further found that there is a moderately weak positive association \u0000between firm worth and management share of holdings of the organization \u0000in the presence of firm size. The findings from the final research questions \u0000also revealed that connection between firm value and management holding of \u0000share is influenced by firm growth \u0000opportunities. The study recommends the development of a more robust and \u0000parsimonious model in the examination of the \u0000association between management ownership share and firm size to help improve on \u0000the strength and nature of the relationship as was revealed by weak correlation \u0000and coefficient of determination values.","PeriodicalId":411102,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal of Business and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127649638","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}

Comparatively, organizational leaders recognize the \u0000value and competitive advantage of inspiring employee work engagement for \u0000sustainability in their industry. Numerous studies confirm that ethical \u0000leadership predicts organizational commitment. However, as of 2019, research \u0000suggested that alternative ethical leadership theories were needed to explain \u0000the influence on work engagement better. This study aimed to investigate the \u0000predictive power of Foundational Leadership Theory (FLT) developed by Fuller in \u00002021. FLT is an inward (internal) and outward (employee perceived) examination \u0000of ethical decisions based on integrity, assurance, and pragmatism. The \u0000findings were based on responses from 248 full-time employees across various \u0000industries in the United States of America. Pearson correlation and regression \u0000analysis revealed that integrity, assurance, and pragmatism predicted positive \u0000employee work engagement. FLT is a new theory and advances our understanding of \u0000employee commitment and work engagement in an organization. Human resource \u0000managers (HRM) recognized that employee enthusiasm is reflected in their work \u0000engagement. Therefore, leaders who rely on FLT are more likely to maintain a \u0000competitive advantage by creating or improving employee enthusiasm and \u0000engagement on the job.","PeriodicalId":411102,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal of Business and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131697754","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 effects of globalization and swift developments are experienced in \u0000information and technology level of e-commerce. Tax administrators in Nigeria \u0000are being confronted with myriads of challenges and difficulties adapting to \u0000the new information technology, “digitalization”. They aimed at examining the \u0000effect of adoption of e-taxation on revenue generation in Nigeria on social \u0000media companies operating in Nigeria’s Internet domain. The study adopted a causal research design. This is a \u0000design which explores the effect of one variable on another. The study revealed \u0000that an element of change in the standard regulations among the tax authority \u0000(FIRS) for about 5.221, will give way for benefits of revenue generation within \u0000social media companies operating in Nigeria’s Internet domain, which explains that FIRS faces \u0000challenges on modalities of taxing \u0000online companies and they can do more by implementing policies in \u0000consonant with social media companies in Nigeria. The study concludes that the country’s \u0000major challenge of e-commerce as it relates to its tax system has been that the \u0000laws governing direct taxes are at the moment inadequate and out of date; they \u0000are premised on the concept of permanent establishment as defined in the double \u0000tax treaties and recommend that efforts should be made to set up a tax \u0000intermediation body.
