However, even when investigated into, more extrinsic and less intrinsic factors are applied to determine the commitment. Hence, the study approached this gap from job-characteristics dimensions to employee continuance commitment. The crosssectional survey research design was adopted and, data collected from 377 regular non-academic staff using validated and reliable copies of a questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was applied as the inferential statistics. Results from multiple regression analysis conducted found that job-characteristics dimensions had a significant effect on employee continuance commitment [R = 0.726, F(5, 371) = 78.081, p < 0.05]. Also, task identity, task significance, and feedback had a significant positive effect on continuance commitment. On the strength of the statistical findings, it was recommended for management emphasize on task identify, significance and, feedback to enable continuance commitment of non-academic staff.

Person-birth characteristics are too fragmented and paucity in literature have not associated or denote its influence on SMEs performance. The study examines birth-effect on performance of selected Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Ogun State. Respondents were 183 SME owners in Ogun state. Stratified Sampling technique was first used which helped to group SMEs owners and then simple random sampling was ultilised to arrive at the sampling size. A validated and reliable questionnaire instrument was employed to gather data. Three hypotheses were tested through simple linear regression analysis. The study found that owner's month of birth has significance influence on SMEs' monthly net-profit (P-value of 0.000<0.005); owner's birth order has significance influence on SMEs startup capital (P-value of 0.002<0.005); and no significant influence was found between gender and number of SMEs employees (p-value of 0.070>0.005). Therefore, the study concludes that being born in early months of the year would increase netprofit of SMEs proportionally and being a first born or twins attracts parental favour which culminated into raising more start-up capital for SMEs when compared with siblings. Hence, the study recommends that birth factors should carefully be considered as quintessential factors of SMEs performance.

However, limited studies on well-being input exist in developing countries. Also, the scope and methodological gap in a previous study conducted on flexible well-being and smart-head necessitated this study. Thus, the paper determined the effect and sensitivity relationship of redefined well-being dimensions on creative person. A cross-sectional survey research design was used while a validated questionnaire was distributed and 532 retrieved from academic staff ranked as Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor and Professor. The multi-stage random sampling technique was applied to eight selected private universities in SouthWest Nigeria. Findings from multiple regression analysis conducted revealed that redefined well-being had a combined positive significant effect on creative person [(Adj. R 2 = 0.331 (F (6, 525) = 44.877, p<0.05)] and the artificial neural network analysis showed technological work environment as the best individual predictor. The paper strengthens the Person-Environment (P-E) Fit Theory assumptions and the position to consistently redefine well-being input as a maxim to stimulate academics' creativity for a novel knowledge-based economy, patent, and ranking.

Private universities were established to impact knowledge, enabled unhindered learning and timely turnout of graduates since their inception in 1999. However, private universities' operational efficiency was challenged and truncated by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which motivated the thrust to determine their operational resilience along with their efficiency. Primary data were obtained from academic lecturers in eight selected private universities in Southwest Nigeria. The questionnaire used was adapted, and the validity and reliability were established. Findings showed that operational resilience significantly affected the operational efficiency of the universities. Therefore, institutions should leverage technology to enhance response and fast-track learning to drive their operational efficiency in the face of disruptions and pandemic.

Unchecked persistent strikes have led to progressive deterioration in infrastructure and academic quality, leading to criminal activities among the youth. This study utilizes the concept of alternative educational backgrounds to interpret the density of crimes among youth in Nigeria. The research draws empirical evidence from Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and supports it with a field survey. The collated data were subjected to both descriptive and regression analyses. The statistical results show that neglect of education is significantly correlated with criminal and mendicant (area-boyism) behavior among youth. This paper recommends that for the nation’s education to have an impact in reducing crime there is a need to inject vibrancy into the educational system in order to encourage and enhance educational quality...

It examined the economic development of African economies in relation to the countries’ regional grouping and also assessed Random Effects (RE) and Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) estimates. The results established, among other things, that sub-regions with higher level of domestic investment had higher values in economic development indicators. It was also found that domestic investment and labour played a more crucial role in Africa’s economic development process. The challenge noted was the fact that increased trade integration do not translate to increased economic development in Africa. Thus the option is to improve domestic investment and enhance labour productivity, which are more crucial for economic development than trade and tariff.

Three hundred and ninety-five owner-managers of selected non-oil export firms were surveyed after selecting them purposively. A validated questionnaire was utilized to collect primary data, after reliability testing was conducted. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to determine the moderating effect of export experience on the export-preneurial behaviours and business performance. From the results, the study concludes that export experience does not significantly moderate the relationship between export-preneurial behaviours and business performance. The paper recommends that managers should focus efforts on adaptation and adopting of export-preneurial behaviours in engendering improved business performance.

The how of competitive advantage debate revolves around different constructs but technology transfer (technology infrastructure, innovation, and adoption) constitutes the focus of this work. The paper argued from technology transfer proxies to explain firms’ competitive advantage through the knowledge lenses of managers. Crosssectional survey research design was adopted, the unit of analysis was randomly selected and data were collected from 90 managers of telecommunication companies in Lagos State, Nigeria through a validated questionnaire whose reliability was established. The study provided empirical evidences that a relationship exist between technology transfer dimensions (technology adoption, technology infrastructure, and technology innovation) and competiti...

Diverse theoretical and empirical discourses were reviewed to establish relationships and effects with reference to strategies and success of MSMEs. The paper utilized primary data collected after administering validated copies of questionnaire to fifty-six female-owned enterprises in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria. MSMEs were selected using purposive-convenient sampling technique. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted with specified multiple regression-models to depict entrepreneurial success as a function of strategies. From the results, it was discovered that knowledge trans...

This paper examined the effect of export-preneurial behaviours on profitability of selected nonoil enterprises in SouthWestern Nigeria. Data were collected through validated questionnaire administered to two hundred and forty-five respondents after establishing the reliability test. Linear multiple regression analysis was conducted to depict profitability as a function of export-preneurial behaviours. The results indicated that exportpreneurial behaviours significantly affected profitability along entrepreneurial orientation, distribution logistics and trust, entrepreneurial mindset, and packaging. Social network was otherwise not significant among the surveyed firms profitability. Recommendation was pillared on social capital as this enables interconnectivity, interdependency, required orientation, mindset and trust to improve relationships which invariably influence profitability.

A simple econometric model of trade openness was formulated and estimated using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression analysis. The unit root tests showed that Tax Revenue Performance is stationary, while trade openness is non-stationary but became stationary after the first differencing. The results revealed that trade openness had negative and significant effect on tax revenue performance in Nigeria. Recommendation focused on export-oriented activities and diversification of export portfolios driven by context-based policies, thus enhance tax revenue yield. In addition, modernization of the tax system in Nigeria through technology adoption will reduce human interface in the processes of taxpayers' registration, filling or declaration of tax returns, tax payment, tax dispute resolution and accountability for ease of doing business.
