WORKING CONDITIONS AS MOTIVATION FOR EMPLOYEES

Organizations engage their employees to work in extreme working conditions to try to maximize their profits. The term for working conditions refers not only to work with physical hazards, but it also includes psychological difficulties such as stress, overwork, harassment, and so on.Though many studies have been conducted that relate to these issues, sometimes the results of these studies contradict. For this reason, in order to evaluate the working conditions and the degree of satisfaction of the workers in different countries, research has been undertaken in order to collect additional data on this issue.The theoretical results show overall satisfaction with working conditions, with the exception of stress-related conditions. The relevance of the samples tested has no effect on the result. It can be concluded that, overall, the results of the research are correlated with the results of the researches found in the literature.

Financial Failure Prediction Using Financial Ratios: An Empirical Application on the Saudi Stock Exchange

The objective of this research is to predict financial failure of few selected companies using financial ratios. In addition, the goal of this review is to look at the segregating power of monetary crisis utilizing the factors of the Altman's Z-score display and build up a reasonable model for Saudi Arabia, which could give detect ahead of time about the budgetary pain of companies. To build up the model the review has classified the chosen factors from year 2013 to 2016 two bad performing and two good performing companies. Multivariate Discriminant Analysis (MDA) has been utilized as the logical strategy and synchronous estimation technique used to enter the factors in the research. The results show that all the company's fall within the gray are, which indicates a weakness in performance and inability to make satisfactory profits for shareholders. Companies results reveal that most of them suffer from sever stagnation and that most of them do not distribute any profits at all or distribute very little profits. The two good performing companies continue to remain in the market while the two bad performers have quit the market.

Wound healing activity of Terminalia Chebula in experimentally induced diabetic rats.

The hydroalcoholic extract of T.Chebula fruit was evaluated for its wound healing activity in alloxan induced diabetic rats using excision and dead space wound models. Extract treated animals exhibited 82% reduction in the wound area when compared to controls which was 40%. The extract treated wounds were found to epithelize faster as compare to controls. The wet and dry granulation tissue weight content was increased significantly when compared to controls. T.Chebula promotes significant wound healing in diabetic rats and further evaluation of this activity in humans is suggested.

Does Ethnolinguistic Diversity Preclude Good Governance? A Comparative Study with Alternative Data, 1990‐2015

To what extent does ethno&#8208;linguistic diversity hinder good governance? Using a variety of data measuring political and economic corruption for 150 countries over 24&#160;years, we find positive effects between ethno&#8208;linguistic diversity and corruption, but the substantive effects are very slight. Higher diversity also predicts higher economic freedom and its subcomponents, measures routinely used as proxies of sound economic governance. Indicators of ethnic frictions measured as ethnic exclusion from state power and discrimination, show positive effects on good governance, results at odds with the idea that governance is harmed by fraught ethnic relations. These findings suggest that the effects of societal diversity do not uniformly explain the failure of governance. We also find diversity to matter negatively when assessing violent state repression of dissent. The results are robust to a host of alternative specifications, data, and estimating strategy, including the inclusion of region fixed effects and hybrid fixed effects.
Double then Nothing: Why Stock Investments Relying on Simple Heuristics May Disappoint

Behavioral researchers argue that although individuals often rely on heuristics or rules of thumb that reduce the complexity involved in predicting values, such heuristics can lead to severe and systematic errors. I test this argument in an investment context by focusing on a simple heuristic whereby momentum traders are attracted to buying stocks that have recently doubled in price in anticipation of further gains. I show that such a strategy can lead to predictable disappointment for these investors and severe underperformance relative to the market (‐28% over a 4‐year period), whereas investors who avoid relying on this simple heuristic are likely to perform as expected, on average similar to the overall market. I also find that underperformance is more severe for stocks that have doubled faster. The “doubling” variable is a significant predictor of future price reversals in addition to past performance per se, as uncovered by the previous researchers.
Retracted: The moderating effects of employee corporate social responsibility motive attributions (substantive and symbolic) between corporate social responsibility perceptions and voluntary pro‐environmental behavior

The primary aim of this study is to investigate how employees' corporate social responsibility (CSR) perceptions contribute to their voluntary pro‐environmental behaviors. This study also seeks to understand the moderating effects of employees' CSR motive attribution (substantive and symbolic) on the relationship between CSR perceptions and voluntary pro‐environmental behaviors. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 784 employees working in various industries such as telecommunication, pharmaceutical, medical, manufacturing, hospitality, and electronic. Results revealed that CSR perceptions positively affected voluntary pro‐environmental behaviors of employees. Moreover, employee's substantive CSR motive attribution strengthened the positive effect of CSR perceptions on voluntary pro‐environmental behavior, whereas symbolic CSR motive attribution weakened the positive effect of CSR perceptions on voluntary pro‐environmental behavior. This study provides guidance for managers who wish to address sustainability and CSR issues to enhance employees' voluntary pro‐environmental behavior. Organizations should integrate CSR initiatives into their sustainable strategy to increase employee's voluntary pro‐environmental behavior.
Challenges of the implementation of Integrated Functional Adult Education (IFAE) in Ethiopia: A case of Oromiya National Regional State

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the challenges of the implementation of Integrated Functional Adult Education (IFAE) in the Oromiya National Regional State. This study employed a qualitative study and few quantitative data type. The qualitative data was collected from participants of regional education office, district education office heads, experts at different education offices, facilitators of the adult literacy program and adult literacy learners through the interview, literacy classroom observation and FGD methods. The study used a purposive sampling method to include participant. After collecting the data, qualitative data processing was made (editing, classification, and thematic formation). The interpretation is a narrative analysis of relevant incident of the respondents’ responses. The results reveal that the program implementation is hampered by access to adults learning the program, lack of organized structure, coordination, and commitment to improving the IFAE program. The literacy classroom observation results reveal that some of the contents like counting and adding numbers are more liked by participants. On the other hand, writing names, constructing words and sentences found to be a challenge for the learners. The curriculum is not implemented as it was stipulated in the textbook of the learners, only literacy facilitators in the form of intergenerational learning modality run the program, without the involvement of the agriculture and health extension facilitators. The study result shows that the current model, used to implement IFAE, could not bring a change as the right way to escape from illiteracy problem. In the region, despite the growth of formal education, adult education has been impeded and the program handling system becomes at the verge of dying. Hence, the government has to restructure the fragmented system of the program that could minimize the gap between the policy implementers and the

Does the Development of Bioenergy Exacerbate the Price Increase of Maize?

The relationship between oil prices and food prices is complex, and maize is the most prominent example. Whether the development of bioenergy will exacerbate the price increase of maize caused by the increasing price of oil is a topic that is attracting great attention. This paper studies the relationship between oil prices and maize prices. First, the effects of the development of biomass energy on maize price in theory is analyzed by constructing a theoretical model that includes the effects of the cost channel and the demand channel, while setting the maize–oil price ratio as a trigger for the demand channel. Then, this paper empirically analyzes the price data. Both theoretical and empirical analyses show the effects of the demand channel in the long term; that is, the effect of the development of bioenergy on maize prices is weak, and maize prices did not increase sharply. The effect of the cost channel is the main cause of the increases in the price of maize and other foods.
Repositioning technical and vocational education toward eradicating unemployment in Nigeria

The problem of unemployment in Nigeria, especially among the youths has been variously expressed to be alarming if not endemic. As a result of this, various recommendations had been proffered toward ameliorating the menace unfortunately to no avail. Hence, the essence of this research work is to examine the repositioning of Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) as a panacea to unemployment in Nigeria. Data were sourced through primary and secondary means - use of structured questionnaire, review of necessary literature, direct interview with Stakeholders in Technical and Vocational Education. Purposive sampling method was adopted in which those that matter in TVE in Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti were interviewed. 100 sets of questionnaire were administered. Five (5) each were administered in each academic office within the campus. Result of findings showed that the original intention of Vocational and Technical Education had been distorted, hence the need for a sincere repositioning in the area of adequate funding, infrastructural development, human capital development, educational policy restructuring toward skill acquisition, research development, and the need to reposition the regulatory body (NBTE) among others. Key words: Education, eradication, Nigeria, repositioning, technical, unemployment, vocational.
Impact of Recruitment and Selection Strategy on Employees’ Performance: A Study of Three Selected Manufacturing Companies in Nigeria

Employee performance is vital to all business enterprises in both developed and developing economies. The increase in the rate of business failure, closure and employees poor performance in terms of productivity in Nigeria is alarming. For organization to be sustained, employees have crucial roles to play in order to ensure that organizations attain competitive advantage over the competitors across the globe. The study examined the recruitment and selection strategy on the employee performance in the real sector using descriptive survey research design. The inferential statistics used is the one sample T-test to find the level of relationship between recruitment/selection strategy and employee performance. The study revealed that the use of recruitment agency and internal employee recommendation in the recruitment/selection process enables organization to recruit committed and productive employees while the recruitment through the influence of host community leads to organizational inefficiency. The study therefore, recommends that Organizations can make use of employment agencies in the act of recruitment and selection but should be open to disclose the job description and responsibility to them. Acceptance of referred candidates from committed and active employees for employment was also recommended as it enhances mentoring, monitoring, obedience and coaching among employees. It was also advised that recruitment/selection should be based on the capability of the candidates to perform the job responsibilities than consideration based on host community influences.
Implications of Forced Migration on Demographics, Labor Market, and Welfare

The seven years of the civil war in Syria has led to thousands of deaths and the flight of a quarter of the pre-war population from their homeland. This paper focuses on the effects of 3.5 million displaced Syrians on the Turkish economy via an intertemporal CGE analysis. The results highlight adverse labor market outcomes for natives and support similar findings in the related literature. On the other hand, due to increasing government expenditure intended to provide essential humanitarian services to incoming Syrians, the picture changes remarkably. Declining informal employment, lower inflation, and positive economic growth are favorable outcomes. These are traded-off against worsening the most vulnerable household groups' shares in total disposable income. Moreover, if some of the Syrians are formally employed, the economic growth and employment generation are getting stronger at the expense of even worsened size distribution of income.

Faculty of Color: Teaching in Predominantly White Colleges and Universities

Book review: Faculty of color: Teaching in predominantly White colleges and Universities Stanley, C. (Ed.). (2006). Bolton, MA: Anker Publishing Company, Inc. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass. Faculty of Color: Teaching in Predominantly White Colleges and Universities (Stanley, 2006) provides readers with an opportunity to peer into the lives of a variety of faculty of color who are employed in predominantly white institutions (PWI). Twenty three multi- cultural faculty members candidly discuss their academic appointments and related activities in this environment including research, teaching, institutional climate, relationships with colleagues and students, serving on committees, recruiting, and social experience. Each faculty member tells his/her story by utilizing specific examples of the struggles they have faced as faculty of color in PWIs, sharing their emotions about those happenings, and, finally, providing recommendations to improve the experiences for multi-cultural faculty in such academic settings. Christine A Stanley, Ph.D., editor of Faculty of Color: Teaching in Predominantly White Colleges and Universities (2006), serves as the Vice-President and Associate Provost for Diversity and Professor of Higher Education Administration at Texas AM the central themes present throughout the book deal with struggles: in the classroom, with colleagues, and with administration. While telling their stories, these authors also share their personal strengths and resiliency factors that allowed them to succeed despite sometimes harsh conditions. Finally, Stanley asks that each of the authors conclude their chapter by providing readers with recommendations for improving institutions in order to offer a more supportive environment for multi-cultural faculty. Classroom Struggles "Unlike their African-American counterparts, White faculty members do not have experiences (i.e., to the degree of faculty of color) in which their competence is questioned" (Bonner, p.85, as cited in Stanley, 2006). Many of the faculty contributors spoke about the challenges and racist attitudes they found in their classrooms from students. The expertise, knowledge, teaching and grading competence, and credentials of faculty of color were questioned by students and, sometimes, even the parents of students. One author states "students simply do not respect faculty of color as much as they do White faculty" (Orey, p. 237, as cited in Stanley, 2006). Additionally, the authors spoke about how these challenging occurrences in the classroom affected their experience as an educator. Many times these teachers were shocked and saddened at students' comments and surprised by the lack of exposure and stereotypic attitudes held by college- level students. …

Lying and Shirking Under Oath

This study explores whether an oath to honesty can reduce both shirking and lying among crowd-sourced internet workers. Using a classic coin-flip experiment, we first show that a substantial majority of Mechanical Turk workers both shirk and lie when reporting the number of heads flipped. We then demonstrate lying can be reduced by first asking each worker to swear voluntarily on his or her honor to tell the truth in subsequent economic decisions. The oath, however, did not reduce shirking as measured by time-at-coin-flip-task, although it did increase the time they spent answering a demographic survey. Conditional on response, MTurk shirkers and liars were less likely to agree to an ex post honesty oath. Our results suggest oaths may help elicit more truthful behavior in on-line crowd-sourced environments.
The Impact of the Openness of Firms’ External Search Strategies on Exploratory Innovation and Exploitative Innovation

Innovation activities of private firms are crucial for sustainable economic growth in every society. Therefore, the majority of firms around the world spend large amounts of capital (money, time, and human resources) in searching for novel innovative opportunities in the marketplace. In our study, we sought to understand how the openness of firms’ external search strategies (external search breadth and external search depth) affects firms’ innovation capabilities as measured by awareness, decision-making, interpretation, and implementation capability. Furthermore, using survey data collected from 112 Chinese manufacturing firms over a six-month period, this study conducted an empirical analysis about the association between firms’ innovation capabilities on the type of innovation (exploratory innovation vs. exploitative innovation). This study also provides important managerial insights for manufacturing companies.
