The private security firms suffer challenges including poor payment of staff, high employee turnover, and employee involvement in crime (Githinji, 2014). While Busolo, Ogolla, and Were (2016) noted the long work hours, poor career prospects for employees, low salaries, and poor health among employees. The operating area of a single private security was small –mostly one town as shared by Abrahamsen and Williams (2015). Furthermore, most of the security firms employed low-skilled staff for manning and guarding services and Tabo (2013) found that poor coordination, poor and improper communication and poor definition of strategy implementation . These challenges in performance are linked to strategy implementation and its leadership approach. Strategy implementation is about formulating plans and bringing the plans to life. It is an important element since over 70% chief executive officers (CEOs) failures were linked to poor strategy implementation (Carruci, 2017). Strategy Abstract: The private security industry suffers adversely from performance-related problems, due to lack of professionalism, managers failure in vetting the security guards, guards lacking basic skills to secure crime scenes, reporting the crime and demotivated staff who earn little salaries. The worsening security situation within the Nairobi Metropolitan area has led to the increase of private security firms. Some of the firms are not licensed and regulated leading to low performance standards. This study focus was how to improve performances in the private security firms through leadership approaches. The study employed descriptive research design and targeted 30 private security firms and its 312 employees. The sample size is 96 staffs which is 30% of the targeted population. Primary data was collected using self-administered questionnaires that had closed-ended questions hence having quantitative data. The data was analyzed using descriptive, correlation and regression analysis and results showed that leadership approaches had positive and significant effect to performance of the private security firms. The study concluded that leadership approaches had positive significant effect to performance.","PeriodicalId":443596,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Humanities & Social Studies","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128215679","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}

Despite all efforts at ensuring a peaceful Nigeria, politics of rancor which has created fear, bitterness, division and disunity still persist. Leaders in the fourth republic through their actions, utterances and policy directions has failed to pursue issue of common interest and this has generated conflict and agitation for secession by groups of various regions. Issues of Abstract: The paper interrogates politics of rancor in Nigeria’s fourth republic and its implication to ethnic divide, national unity and democratic development. Politics in Nigeria during post-independence and fourth republic is been played along ethnic, religious and regional linings and this has culminated to ethnic divide, national disunity and low political development. The distinctive code of conduct that depicts fairness and equity has eluded Nigerians thereby leading to behavioral derailment and attitudinal change in our political system and culture. Issues with regard to political appointments, promotions and heads of institutions are determined by ethnicity, religion and party affiliations thereby promoting political crisis and feelings of alienation. Political actors from various regions neither pursue issue of national interest rather active on politics of patronage and clientage. The paper adopts a qualitative method using secondary data and conflict of interest theory is used as a framework to the study. The paper revealed that the rationale behind politics of rancor is anchored on the notion that national leaders are recruited on the basis of their ethnicity, religion and region lining rather than their ability, experience, vision and national outlook in character. The paper recommends that Nigerians should do away with hate and bitter expressions which had for a long time undermine Nigeria quest to attain good governance and elect visionary leaders base on their abilities not ethnic and religious cleavages.","PeriodicalId":443596,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Humanities & Social Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125019051","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}

These theory further states that deviant youth like teenage moms view themselves in a negative framework in relations to social institutions. Youths who are at risk or who have experienced an early pregnancy often were reared in dysfunctional environments that may have resulted in learned insecurity. As a result, the youths may believe they are inadequate. This cognitive model of learning from the environment and experiencing increased degrees of alienation, thus; predicted school failure, delinquency and health-damaging behaviours. Abstract: Teenage pregnancy has been a societal problem over the last decades in various provinces in the Philippines. These incidents categorically hampered teenagers’ lives as they affected their wellbeing on becoming the young mother of their children. The study utilized a qualitative research design specifically a phenomenological approach. The selected pregnant teenagers of Barangay Lucena, Prosper dad, Agusandel Sur served as the Key Informants. The researchers used an interview guide questionnaire in the conduct of the interview. Then, it was recorded through an audio tape. Transcription and translation of the information were made. The information gathered was then interpreted through thematic analysis. Furthermore, the study revealed that teenage mothers experienced humiliations and criticism among their family, peers and people in the community. Most of them resorted into dropping out from school and others asserted that they chose to stay at home and avoided their common friends. Consequently, most of these teenage mothers were able to overcome the situation by accepting the responsibility as parents. They have asserted that they were willing to do everything for the welfare of their children. Indeed, one of the most emphasized factors was due to low family income. The families with low economic status were more vulnerable into teenage pregnancy incidents. Other factors were peer influence, lack of awareness on sex education and other family problems. The study was conducted to investigate the lived experiences of teenage mothers of Lucena, Prosperidad, Agusandel Sur.
