The population of the study was 365 final-year undergraduate Business Education students in the 2021–2022 academic session, with a sample size of 320 students, which is an 88% return rate. Two different sets of questionnaires were used for data collection. The copies of the questionnaires were validated by three experts: two business educators and one psychometrician. The reliability of the instruments was established, and the computations yielded coefficient indexes of 0.81 and 0.89 for entrepreneurial socio-psychological adjustment and employment opportunity identification, respectively. The research questions and hypotheses were answered and tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC), respectively, at the 0.05 level of significance. The study exposed the fact that assimilation and integration relate to employment opportunity identification. The study recommended that the stakeholders who are saddled with the core responsibility of planning and executing the curriculum of the entrepreneurship education program should systematically review the curriculum in order to accommodate the concept of assimilation and integration as a component of entrepreneurial socio-psychological adjustment into the program.","PeriodicalId":486962,"journal":{"name":"IIARD INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT","volume":" 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139789016","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 proxies for corporate governance were board size, board composition, board committees, and corporate reporting while the proxies for corporate sustainability were economic sustainability, social sustainability and environmental sustainability as given by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI). A sample size of 33 firms was selected for this study and data covering a ten (10) year period; 2012 to 2021 were collected from the audited annual reports of the 33 selected firms for the study. Data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings from the study revealed that all the studied corporate governance variables (i.e. board size, board composition, board committees, and corporate reporting) have significant effect on corporate sustainability. Based on the findings, it was concluded that corporate governance has significant influence on corporate sustainability in Nigerian firms. Consequently, it was recommended, among other things, that Nigerian firms should improve upon their compliance with corporate governance practices. In this regard, emphasis should be placed on optimal board size and independence of the board. Also, firms’ consideration of optimal board size should be guided by such factors as the requirements of the industry, firm’s age, operational size, knowledge and experience requirement; professional and technical expertise required to strategically give direction to the company, level of sophistication of the firm and other diversity criteria relative to the firm.","PeriodicalId":486962,"journal":{"name":"IIARD INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139789523","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}

Furthermore, the research examines the potential benefits of gender budgeting in achieving broader national development goals, including poverty reduction, increased productivity, and social cohesion. It underscores the need for a holistic approach that integrates gender considerations into all aspects of budget formulation, implementation, and monitoring.
