Abstract Purpose: Every piece of art must, without a doubt, make a statement about itself. This is due to the fact that the more attractive something is, the more symbolic it becomes. Almost all works of art have multiple interpretations. Every great work of literature contains symbols, which add depth, meaning, strength, and dexterity to the work. Research methodology: Two theoretical frameworks, postcolonial and Marxist literary theories, guided the analysis. And this is a qualitative study. Results: The results of this investigation demonstrate that colonial injustice and unmodified colonial institutions and policies are the most enduring issue of Ngugi Wa Thiong’o’s literary exploitation. Limitations: The study is limited to one novel and which is Petals of Blood of Ngugi Wa Thiong’o, written after the post-independence of Kenya. Contribution: Finally, the study found that people are aware of their rulers' actions and are plotting a revolt to break free from the elite's grasp. And it proposes viable answers to their political and socioeconomic problems, such as revolution, not just in Kenya but throughout Africa.
目的:毫无疑问，每一件艺术品都必须对其自身做出陈述。这是因为，越是吸引人的东西，它就越具有象征意义。几乎所有的艺术作品都有多种解释。每一部伟大的文学作品都包含着符号，它们为作品增添了深度、意义、力量和灵巧。研究方法:后殖民主义和马克思主义文学理论两大理论框架指导分析。这是一项定性研究。结果:本调查结果表明，殖民不公和未修改的殖民制度和政策是Ngugi Wa Thiong 'o文学剥削的最持久问题。局限性:这项研究仅限于一本小说，那就是恩古吉·瓦·廷奥的《血的花瓣》，写于肯尼亚独立后。贡献:最后，研究发现，人们意识到了统治者的行为，并正在策划一场反抗，以摆脱精英的控制。它为他们的政治和社会经济问题提出了可行的答案，比如革命，不仅在肯尼亚，而且在整个非洲。

Abstract Purpose: This study aims to estimate households' willingness to pay (WTP) in the Mekong River Delta for the improvement of solid waste (SW) management and identify factors influencing willingness to pay for the improvement program. Then, based on the results, this research proposed some policy implications for better SW management. Research methodology: The research employed both Contingent Valuation Methodology - CVM employed parametric and non-parametric approaches to estimate WTP and Logit model to identify the determinants of WTP. Results: The results from a random survey of 400 observations from 3 main cities in the Mekong River Delta (MRD) indicate that households’ willingness to pay level is from 86,000 Vietnamese Dong (VND) to 110,000 VND/month/household for the non-parametric and parametric approach, respectively (US$1 was equal to 22,890 VND on June 30th, 2021). The results also determine the factors influencing the decision to pay for the program, including bid level, households who have already classified waste, households who intend to support the program, and households’ income. Limitations: In future research, survey areas should be expanded to other developing countries in order to compare and provide a base for proposing better waste management programs in developing countries. Contribution: Future studies should apply both approaches to check the consistency of willingness to pay value elicited. Besides, in order to encourage households to participate in the waste classification program, the authorities need to raise awareness and encourage higher-income households to participate in advance.

Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the causes, factors, and methods to reduce students' exam anxiety in high school exams. Research methodology: In order to conduct this research, from among the students of district one of Rey city and from among 690 seventh grade female students, 100 of them were selected by using a non-random sampling method. The questions in the questionnaire consisted of 21 closed-ended questions and 1 open-ended question. Results: The findings indicate that several factors are effective in aggravating test anxiety. Losing a privileged academic position in the classroom followed by personality impairment disturbs the student's peace of mind and causes students to become anxious during the exam. Limitations: In addition to the factors mentioned as the causes of test anxiety, there may be other factors in these fields that can affect such as hereditary factors, weakness of personality, weakness of faith, and other cases that cannot be measured or not mentioned in this study. Contribution: This study is expected can give a piece of knowledge about the factors that can cause anxiety during exams to students and the method to reduce it. Keywords: 1. Anxiety 2.

Abstract Purpose: To investigate the consequence covid-19 lockdown on food security among a cohort of peri-urban households in Hoima city. Research methodology: A descriptive survey was employed targeting 186 respondents. Data were collected using a researcher-designed self-administered questionnaire and analysed using quantitative statistics. Specifically, chi-square was employed to establish whether the hypothesis held sway; also, regression analysis was employed with a view of forecasting the degree of change in household food security due to covid-19 lockdown. Results: The period of lockdown announced and implemented by the government had a positive consequence on food security. Nonetheless, the economic hardships overturned the successes otherwise achieved as a number of households sold off much of the food so as acquire other household items. Recommendations: While the government is credited for instituting a lockdown as a means to reduce the spread of covid-19 virus, it is recommended that city authorities are encouraged to boost urban farming by distributing agri-inputs to households in the peri-urban seeing that their daily incomes are already constrained. Contribution: The findings of this study may be useful to city authorities in Uganda in evolving a guide on integration of food security as a cross-cutting issue in the overall strategic disaster management plan. This article makes an input to the budding field of understanding by underlining inroads that can generate more sustainable urban community livelihoods through food security.

Abstract Purpose: Our study aims to create a framework grounded in Daisaku Ikeda’s philosophy of education for educators and researchers to implement and evaluate human education in the classroom. Research Methodology: We first synthesized the eighteen chapters by scholars involved in Ikeda studies, published in the book entitled: Hope and Joy in Education: Engaging Daisaku Ikeda across Curriculum and Context to discover the main themes in Ikeda’s human education. Based on these themes, we selected six children’s stories developed by Ikeda to design lessons. We then conducted surveys with ten K-12 teachers across disciplines and school districts to explore their perspectives toward humanity and their feedback on our lesson design. Results: Our finding indicates that creating hope and joy in education is inseparable from human revolution, value creation, happiness, the greater self, global citizens, as well as life and death. In addition, the participant’s responses to the survey questions help educators and researchers understand what K-12 teachers look for in order to implement lessons on humanity more efficiently and effectively. Limitations: By no means would we consider our lesson design exemplary or applicable in all different contexts. Instead, we consider these lessons a starting point to continue exploring a better way to teach humanity in school. Contribution: Seeing examples of lesson plans on humanity and learning from K-12 teachers’ perspectives provide an aspect for educators and researchers to use, extend, or expand the present study to bring hope and joy to students in their local contexts.

Abstract Purpose: Is to investigate the relationship between training and development (T&D) methods and organizational performance in the local government sector, as well as contribute to knowledge. Research Methodology: The study employed a quantitative approach and correlation design, a census sampling method to sample 215 employees, a structured questionnaire to collect data, multiple linear regression to test hypotheses, and the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 to input, transform and analyze the data. Result: The result shows that training and development (T & D) methods (job orientation, job rotation, workshop & conference, and classroom lectures) had a significant relationship with organizational performance. The findings also revealed that training and development (T & D) methods (job orientation, workshop & conference, and classroom lectures) have a significant relationship with the quality of service delivery. However, job rotation has no relationship with quality service delivery. Limitation: The study's main weakness is that it only looked at four different training and development methods and their impact on organizational performance and service quality. Another flaw in the study is that it only looked at one metropolitan assembly. Contribution: In this regard, metropolitan and municipal assembly executives and managers should consider employing training and development methods that provide stronger predictions to boost the organization’s performance and delivery of quality services to communities. They should train and develop employees within the organization as soon as political power changes hands to enhance organization performance because policy adherence is critical to the organization's performance.
摘要目的:探讨地方政府部门培训与发展(T&D)方法与组织绩效之间的关系，以及对知识的贡献。研究方法:采用定量方法和相关设计，采用人口普查抽样法对215名员工进行抽样调查，采用结构化问卷法收集数据，多元线性回归检验假设，并使用SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) 20版对数据进行输入、转换和分析。结果:培训与发展(t&d)方式(岗位导向、岗位轮岗、工作坊与会议、课堂讲座)对组织绩效有显著影响。研究结果还显示，培训和发展(t&d)方法(工作导向、研讨会和会议、课堂讲座)与服务提供质量有显著关系。然而，轮岗与服务质量没有关系。局限性:该研究的主要弱点是它只研究了四种不同的培训和发展方法及其对组织绩效和服务质量的影响。这项研究的另一个缺陷是，它只研究了一个大都市的议会。贡献:在这方面，大都市和市政会议的执行人员和经理应该考虑采用提供更强预测的培训和发展方法，以提高组织的绩效并向社区提供高质量的服务。他们应该在政治权力易手后立即培训和发展组织内的员工，以提高组织绩效，因为政策依从性对组织绩效至关重要。
{"title":"Training and development methods and organizational performance: A case of the local government organization in Central Region, Ghana","authors":"Godson Kwame Amegayibor","doi":"10.35912/jshe.v2i1.757","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35912/jshe.v2i1.757","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Purpose: Is to investigate the relationship between training and development (T&D) methods and organizational performance in the local government sector, as well as contribute to knowledge. Research Methodology: The study employed a quantitative approach and correlation design, a census sampling method to sample 215 employees, a structured questionnaire to collect data, multiple linear regression to test hypotheses, and the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 to input, transform and analyze the data. Result: The result shows that training and development (T & D) methods (job orientation, job rotation, workshop & conference, and classroom lectures) had a significant relationship with organizational performance. The findings also revealed that training and development (T & D) methods (job orientation, workshop & conference, and classroom lectures) have a significant relationship with the quality of service delivery. However, job rotation has no relationship with quality service delivery. Limitation: The study's main weakness is that it only looked at four different training and development methods and their impact on organizational performance and service quality. Another flaw in the study is that it only looked at one metropolitan assembly. Contribution: In this regard, metropolitan and municipal assembly executives and managers should consider employing training and development methods that provide stronger predictions to boost the organization’s performance and delivery of quality services to communities. They should train and develop employees within the organization as soon as political power changes hands to enhance organization performance because policy adherence is critical to the organization's performance.","PeriodicalId":198092,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social, Humanity, and Education","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126982839","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}
