Policy measures were sought through empirical research on the impact of organizational support perceived by local council members on job engagememt.
 The results of a survey of 202 current local government council members across the country are as follows.
 First, among the perceptions of organizational support, smooth cooperation had a significant positive (+) effect on the vitality, dedication, and absorption of job engagememt, and work expertise also had a significant positive (+) effect on vitality.
 Through these analysis results, it was verified that the organizational support perceived by local council members plays a significant positive role in their job engagememt.
 Second, It was found that the proper human composition of perceived organizational support had a significant positive (+) effect on smooth cooperation and a significant negative (-) effect on commitment. The results of this analysis confirmed the specificity of the organization that only local councils have, which are different from general corporate and civil service organizations. Based on this, implications and future research directions were discussed.

Workplace Diversity and Organisational Performance in Selected Distilleries Firms in Southwest, Nigeria

the increasing effect orchestrated by the advent of globalisation has necessitated more forms of interactions from individuals from different background, culture, and sexual orientations. On a broader term, corporate organisations globally now prioritises being more culturally diverse, and high level of multiculturalism in their workforces. This is due to the distinction reflected herein as compared to what was in vogue during the traditional era of work. In this regard, an investigation from the nigerian perspective become necessary; therefore, this study analysed workplace diversity from the paradigm of organisational performance using selected distilleries firms in ogun state, which is one of the long-standing commercial hubs in nigeria. The theories, which underpinned this study, were similarity/attraction theory and social identity theory. The study population was seven hundred and forty-two personnel from five (5) selected firms and a sampling frame of two hundred and forty-nine (249) employees was drawn using the multistage sampling approach. It was revealed in the findings that cultural diversity has an effect on adaptive performance (r2=0.931<0.5) and age diversity significantly share a nexus with task performance (r2 = 0.812, < 0.05). The study concluded that the practicing diversity is a catalyst for enhancing a strong relationship among employees within an organization. As it affords them become more proactive and improve their creativity and skills. Thus, study recommended that management of distilleries firms in south-western nigeria should develop structures that are supportive in the facilitation of managing diversity through the engagement of melting pot pattern.

사회복지기관의 학습지원환경이 주관적 조직성과에 미치는 영향: 중간관리자 보수교육 경험의 학습전이 매개효과를 중심으로

This study viewed continuing education for social workers as an axis of ‘Strategic Human Resources Management’ at the organizational level beyond the level of professional improvement and qualification development, and focused on the learning support environment and educational effectiveness. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether the learning support environment affect s organizational performance among middle managers of social service organizations and to verify the mediating effect of learning transfer in continuing education experience. The data for analysis are the results of an online survey conducted in 2022 among middle managers with more than 5 years of experience at social service organizations who completed continuing education for social workers in the Seoul Metropolitan City area. Data from a total of 325 respondents were used in the final analysis. The respondents' level of awareness of the learning support environment was confirmed to be an average of 3.60 points on a 5-point scale, and learning transfer was confirmed to be an average of 3.69 points. As a result of multiple regression analysis, first, the independent variable, learning support environment characteristics, was found to have a significant impact on subjective organizational performance. Second, in the relationship between learning support environment characteristics and subjective organizational performance, it was confirmed that far transfer, among the sub-dimensions that constitute learning transfer, showed a partial mediating effect. The above research results are not significantly different from them for for-profit corporate organizations. In the end, it shows that the learning support environment in continuing education is important in addition to the educational content and ultimately affects organizational performance. As found in for-profit corporate organizations, this suggests that there is a need to reexamine the meaning and importance of continuing education in the social service field at the level of strategic human resource management.

Social organizations and political institutions: why China and Europe diverged

AbstractThis paper discusses the historical and social origins of the bifurcation in the political institutions of China and Western Europe. An important factor, recognized in the literature, is that China centralized state institutions very early on, while Europe remained politically fragmented for much longer. These initial differences, however, were amplified by the different social organizations (clans in China, corporate structures in Europe) that spread in these two societies at the turn of the first millennium AD. State institutions interacted with these organizations, and were shaped and influenced by this interaction. The paper discusses the many ways in which corporate organizations contributed to the emergence of representative institutions and gave prominence to the Rule of Law in the early stages of state formation in Europe, and how specific features of lineage organizations contributed to the consolidation of the Imperial regime in China.

An analysis of improvement methods for UWB positioning accuracy

Nowadays, due to the advancement of 5G technology and the emergence of smart cities, people's working and production environments are gradually transitioning from outdoors to indoors. Consequently, an increasing number of corporate and governmental organizations are demanding high-precision indoor positioning solutions. The utilization of ultra-wideband (UWB) signals in indoor positioning systems possesses multiple benefits, such as high transmission rates, strong anti-jamming capabilities, simple structures, and superior security measures. As a result, UWB stands out among other typical indoor positioning methods and has vast market potential. This paper introduces the basic concepts of ultra-wideband positioning techniques and thoroughly discusses the current state of domestic and international research as well as the main positioning models. The trilateral measurement method and TOA positioning algorithms are the primary focus of this paper. In the future, by exploring the combination of intelligent algorithms and wireless positioning technology by combining ultra-wideband and a variety of positioning methods and integrating these technologies together, it is possible to significantly improve positioning accuracy.

Workaholism and quality of work-life: a psychosocial pathway to brain-drain syndrome

PurposeThe cultural norm of compelling employees to work beyond the standard measure as a result of internal pressure from organisations is gaining popularity in the business environment today. This research is a pointer to a nuanced and dynamic understanding of workaholism, and this study aims to investigate factors that constitute an individual as a workaholic in the banking industry in Nigeria. This study aims to examine the influence of workaholism on the quality of work-life (QWL) of the workforce and how it led pockets of the workforce to migrate to an international workspace.Design/methodology/approachTo capture a good understanding of what describes an individual as a workaholic, and what influences the QWL among the workforce in the banking environment, this study utilised a longitudinal research design to survey bankers in corporate organisations in Nigeria. The study administered a battery of adapted scales to measure latent constructs of dimensions of workaholism and QWL on a random simple probability technique. The study surveyed 425 professional bankers in Nigeria's banking workspace. A structural equation model was used to analyse the data obtained from the banking workforce to establish the relationship that exists between the dimensions of workaholism and QWL.FindingsThe outcome of this study indicated an insightful one. The results of the study illustrated that long hours of work, workload, work pressure, financial challenges as well and the pursuit of career growth are determinants of workaholism in banking corporate business. The study illustrated that all the predictors of workaholism equally affect the QWL of the employees in Nigeria's banking industry.Originality/valueThe originality of this study is captured in the dynamics of the concept of workaholism which portends negative outcomes in the Nigerian business environment given the nature of banking business in Nigeria. The study elucidates that workaholism is not work engagement in Nigeria but the attitude of compulsion from the management of the organisations.

Public preference on sharing health data to inform research, health policy and clinical practice in Australia: A stated preference experiment.

To investigate public willingness to share sensitive health information for research, health policy and clinical practice. A total of 1,003 Australian respondents answered an online, attribute-driven, survey in which participants were asked to accept or reject hypothetical choice sets based on a willingness to share their health data for research and frontline-medical support as part of an integrated health system. The survey consisted of 5 attributes: Stakeholder access for analysis (Analysing group); Type of information collected; Purpose of data collection; Information governance; and Anticipated benefit; the results of which were analysed using logistic regression. When asked about their preference for sharing their health data, respondents had no preference between data collection for the purposes of clinical practice, health policy or research, with a slight preference for having government organisations manage, govern and curate the integrated datasets from which the analysis was being conducted. The least preferred option was for personal health records to be integrated with insurance records or for their data collected by privately owned corporate organisations. Individuals preferred their data to be analysed by a public healthcare provider or government staff and expressed a dislike for any private company involvement. The findings from this study suggest that Australian consumers prefer to share their health data when there is government oversight, and have concerns about sharing their anonymised health data for clinical practice, health policy or research purposes unless clarity is provided pertaining to its intended purpose, limitations of use and restrictions to access. Similar findings have been observed in the limited set of existing international studies utilising a stated preference approach. Evident from this study, and supported by national and international research, is that the establishment and preservation of a social license for data linkage in health research will require routine public engagement as a result of continuously evolving technological advancements and fluctuating risk tolerance. Without more work to understand and address stakeholder concerns, consumers risk being reluctant to participate in data-sharing and linkage programmes.

This article deploys the qualitative legal research methodology which is based on primary and secondary data to analyse the company’s practice in the context of the law and guidelines in Malaysia. The adoption of the T.R.U.S.T principles has been seen to become essential to all corporate organisations, as the company, including its senior management, can be charged under section 17A, MACC Act 2009 if found guilty unless it can be proven that adequate measures have been put in place. In conclusion, the T.R.U.S.T principles have set an outline for companies to be guided with, and to protect them from corporate liability charges under the MACC Act.

Dire Consequence in Assessing the Inhuman Treatment of Prisoners to Promote Human Rights at Awutu Camp Prison in Ghana

Purpose: In our contemporary society, the recognition of human rights stands as a crucial and paramount phenomenon. Undoubtedly, every individual inherently deserves certain rights and freedoms, which are universally acknowledged by governments, activists, and corporate organizations alike. However, regardless of the other reasons society locks up its criminals, rehabilitating them and bringing them back to normal society has always been the expectation, if not the implicit goal. With the hindsight of the circumstances of prisoners in Ghana, this study brought to light the dire consequences in assessing the inhuman treatment of prisoners to promote human rights at Awutu Camp Prison in Ghana.
 Methodology: The study relied on constructive philosophy using a qualitative approach to investigate Human Rights Compliance at the prisons. The study used a purposive non-probability sampling strategy to identify nineteen (19) prison officers and inmates to subject them to interviews.
 Findings: The study concluded that the prisoners’ rights regarding accommodation, humanely hygienic conditions, access to healthcare, torture, and skill training or reformation are violated according to the UDHR. The study recommends that the GHC 1.80p cost of meal per prisoner should be reviewed to meet the UDHR. Also, the accommodation and sanitary conditions of inmates should be improved to meet the humane treatment of inmates. Additionally, inmates should be engaged with education and training that could instill trade in them.
 Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends that prison officers and inmates should be educated on their human rights as indicated by the UDHR and Human Rights document. Finally, this study should be replicated in other jurisdictions to ascertain equity.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING: EVIDENCE FROM GLOBAL SYSTEMICALLY IMPORTANT BANKS (G-SIBs)

In recent years, the issue of environmental pollution and climate change has led the scientific debate to focus on social issues, environmental protection, and human rights, deepening the topic of sustainable economic development. To provide stakeholders evidence on economic, environmental, and social performance, all corporate organizations must supplement traditional financial reporting tools with Non-financial information, following numerous standards, frameworks, and guidelines. The topic of Non-financial disclosure is widely investigated with reference to industrial companies, while the financial institution sector represents a context that is still little explored. Indeed, financial institutions are significant promoters of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and even if their operations do not have direct impacts on the environment, they can encourage the allocation of their capital in socially responsible investments, thus contributing to the spread of sustainability culture in the financial system and among citizens. This paper analyzes the main sustainability frameworks, standards, and guidelines used by global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) for disclosure on environmental aspects along with social and governance factors, investigating the attention degree of financial institutions toward the sustainability issue.

Influence of perceived economic dilemma on ethical choices of auditors

This paper is an in-depth analysis of the pressures that come upon the auditors in public practice and corporate organisations. Struggle is the meaning of life. When you try to solve one problem you tend to complicate others. Several literature and previous were reviewed, the majority of them with discovery and strong perception that ethical dilemmas involved choosing powerful seemingly ‘justifiable’ non-ethical considerations over strict ethical choices. Such is sometimes the economic dilemma created when auditors are being accountable for their actions. The auditors are sometimes confronted with conflict of interest as considered in most literature reviewed. The TP (Temporary Predictive Behaviour) Cognitive Model with Moral Seduction Theory also forms part of the analysis in this paper. This economic dilemma faced is prop out of fright of the “self-fulfilling prophecy effect” which was further described as the auditor’s fear to precipitate client failure after the release of a warning signal because of its impact on current and potential investors, creditors, suppliers, and customers. The paper concluded that the eventual evaluation of the auditors is vital to the investment decision of the clients’ financial statement users and poses a danger to the continued existence of the client. The study further recommended action that may provide greater economic incentives for the auditor to conduct an ethical audit.

Workplace implications for female leaders from stereotype threat in a video conferencing context

PurposeThis study considered the use of video conferencing virtual backgrounds with employees located in a large multinational corporate organisation in Ireland and the USA to discern if background images evoking gendered stereotypes of leadership can cue stereotype threat in female technology workers undertaking a leadership activity, thus negatively effecting performance. This study aims to contribute to the body of research on stereotype threat by establishing whether virtual backgrounds used in video conferencing software are inherently identity safe or whether their use could have a negative performance impact on marginalised groups.Design/methodology/approachUsing a mixed methods research design with 22 participants in two countries working in the one large organisation, using two quantitative methods (an experiment and a survey) and one qualitative method (semi-structured interviews), the study examined the relationship between performance on the leadership activity and exposure to gendered backgrounds on a video conference call.FindingsIt found that female leaders undertaking a leadership test experienced more anxiety and achieved lower scores on average when exposed to a male-gendered virtual background compared to male colleagues or female leaders exposed to a female gendered background. It was also found that these leaders were aware of the stereotype of leadership being White and male, and showed symptoms of prolonged exposure to stereotype threat in the workplace. While the authors still are working through a post-pandemic environment, it may be judicious for organisations to restrict the use of virtual backgrounds to identity-safe ones, specifically chosen by the company.Research limitations/implicationsThe study makes several practical recommendations, indicating actions which can be taken at the individual, team and corporate levels. Re-running this experiment in a more controlled environment with a larger sample set could yield more definitive, statistically significant results and contribute more to the literature.Practical implicationsSome individual impacts were found via the interviews. Male leaders in the organisation need to do more to mentor and endorse their female colleagues. By doing this, they can counter the negative effects of solo status and the subsequent performance degradations of their female counterparts, while also setting an example for other leaders. Participation in the mentoring programme and initiatives such as Dare and value, inclusion, belonging, and equity should be encouraged and supported. Reverse mentoring should also be encouraged among the population of male leaders to aid in allyship and bias-awareness.Social implicationsTeams should note that a democratic vote is not always the best way to decide on the names of teams, projects or meeting rooms. These may skew towards niche interests that can serve to alienate members of the team who do not associate themselves with that interest. Rather, the teams should strive to be fully inclusive and educated on the need for identity-safety. Team events may also serve to alienate members if teams are not mindful of the need to be inclusive. Activities, such as “go-kart” racing and physical or competitive team events have been highlighted as unsuitable for some team members, and should be avoided in favour of inclusivity.Originality/valueA significant body of research has documented the effect to which stereotype threat can be triggered by both the physical environment and by the use of various technology media. However, there is a dearth of research exploring the relationship between stereotype threat, defined as “the concrete, real-time threat of being judged and treated poorly in settings where a negative stereotype about one’s group applies” (Steele et al., 2002, p. 385), and video conferencing software features, such as virtual backgrounds.

Moderating Role of Board Size on Debt Capital and Firm Performance of Quoted Industrial Goods Companies in Nigeria

Financing sources of any corporate organization are a serious determinant of its performance because either equity or debt financing has its cost. The interaction between them has to be evaluated periodically. Against this background, this study establishes the Moderating role of board size on debt capital and the firm performance of industrial goods companies in Nigeria. The population of the study comprises the thirteen industrial goods companies quoted on the Nigeria Exchange Group (NGX). The population was wholly sampled for the study. Debt financing represented by debt-to-total asset was the independent variable, while, firm performance) was measured by return on assets (ROA). The panel data were obtained from the financial statements of the companies from 2012-2021. The study adopts a bi-model approach for clarity of presentation and analysis. The analysis was conducted with the aid of the pooled Ordinary Least Square Multiple Regression method and the result from Model I showed that debt capital has a significant negative effect on the firm performance of the sampled companies. The result from Model II indicated that board size has an insignificant positive moderating effect on debt capital and firm performance. The study recommends that the management of industrial goods companies in Nigeria should keep debt capital at its lowest to improve their performance.

Risk governance and risk disclosure quality: an empirical evidence

Purpose In recent time, stakeholders have called on corporate organizations to develop risk governance (RG) model that could strengthen effective risk disclosure quality (RDQ). Based on this premise, the purpose of this study is to examine the influence of RG on RD quality of 120 corporate organizations. Design/methodology/approach RG was measured by board risk committee size, board risk committee independence, board risk committee gender diversity, board risk committee expertise, board risk committee effectiveness, chief risk officer (CRO) presence and enterprise risk management (ERM) framework. This study has used both ordered logistic regression and probit regression to analyze the data set. Findings The number of members on the board risk committee, the proportion of women on that committee, the board expertise, the committee’s effectiveness, the presence of a CRO and the existence of an ERM framework were all found to have an impact on the quality of the risk information disclosed. Practical implications The study emphasizes the need for strong collaboration between the corporate board and external assurance in enhancing the quality of RD. Originality/value The findings contribute to growing literature in the area of RG and RD in Nigeria and by extension other sub-Saharan African countries.
