This research study examines the mediating influence of self-monitoring (SM) on the relationship between diversity appreciation (DA) and cooperative conflict management (CCM). Two hundred and twenty-one undergraduate business students completed self-assessment measures of DA and SM, and identified a close associate who completed an observer version of the problem-solving component of the Dutch conflict management style scale. Product moment correlations were used to examine the hypothesized relationships between CCM and both DA and SM, and the Hayes process and the Sobel test were used to test the hypothesis that SM mediates the relationship between DA and CCM. CCM was significantly correlated with both DA (r = 0.30, p < 0.01) and SM (r = 0.37, p < 0.01). DA was significantly correlated with SM (r = 0.31, p < 0.01). Both the Hayes process and Sobel test (Z = 3.29, p < 0.001) confirmed that SM partially mediated the relationship between DA and CCM. Educators and practitioners need to be aware of the influence of DA and SM on CCM. Development activities that integrate diversity appreciation, sensitive responses toward the expressed behavior of others, and appropriate modification of self-presentation are likely to promote a cooperative approach to conflict management. This is the first study to examine the interrelationships between DA, SM and CCM. The results highlight the importance of promoting both diversity appreciation and self-monitoring as part of the process of encouraging more cooperative conflict management and strengthening the link between diversity and performance.
本研究探讨了自我监控在多样性欣赏(DA)与合作冲突管理(CCM)之间的中介作用。221名商科学本科学生完成了DA和SM的自我评估，并确定了一名亲密伙伴完成了荷兰冲突管理风格量表中问题解决部分的观察者版本。采用积矩相关检验CCM与DA和SM之间的假设关系，采用Hayes过程和Sobel检验检验SM在DA和CCM之间的中介作用。CCM与DA均显著相关(r = 0.30, p <0.01)和SM (r = 0.37, p <0.01)。DA与SM显著相关(r = 0.31, p <0.01)。Hayes过程和Sobel检验(Z = 3.29, p <0.001)证实SM部分介导了DA和CCM之间的关系。教育者和实践者需要意识到DA和SM对CCM的影响。综合了多样性欣赏、对他人表达的行为作出敏感反应和适当修改自我表现的发展活动很可能促进冲突管理的合作方法。这是第一次研究DA、SM和CCM之间的相互关系。研究结果突出了促进多样性欣赏和自我监测的重要性，这是鼓励更多合作性冲突管理和加强多样性与绩效之间联系的过程的一部分。

The chinese One-Party political system has prioritized economic development and social stability. The economic development is also local governance units’ main target, due to their fragile economic conditions. In 2020, China estimated over 500 thousand villages and registered about 36% of the population as rural. Apart from receiving State funds, the villages have some self-governance mechanisms permitted to stimulate their own local economies. The service industry is becoming a strong contender for the local development, especially rural tourism. Many studies made, show a connection between the political system and the economic development. This article analyses the village’s economic development, while reflecting on the effect of self-governance throughout the entire process. The investigation that focused on Hezhai village is a direct result of interviews made to local rulers and inhabitants, as well as the consideration of official data and information from a comparative database. To start, the current article displays the Chinese villages’ self-governance system and the main strategies for the economic development used at a basic level. Secondly it focuses on Hezhai and finally presents a reflection on what challenges local economies face in the future and the impact self-governance has on an economical point of view.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the entire social structure, created new tourism trends, and upended the tourissm industry’s workforce. Many unemployed workers have relocated or changed careers, leaving the industry short of human resources. Meanwhile, professional tourism human resources trainings take a long time. These realities posed a challenge for the tourism industry to find solutions that were suitable for the new situation.

Covid-19 has changed in many aspects the lives of everyone. This extraordinary situation had not only financially but also socially, affected people from all over the world including the university students. The aim of this study is to investigate the impacts of Covid-19 on the university students in Greece. A questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms from 15 to 31 December 2021 on undergraduate students at the University of Thessaly, consisted of 30 questions that they had been allocated in five segments. The results indicated that, most of the university students who had been participated in this research where from Volos, taking part almost in every online lecture and during the pandemic crisis, a significant amount of them had not obtained any sickly habit or developed any psychiatric disorder. Apart from that, it has been spotted that quarantine had a severe impact on the relationship with friends.

In the context of this paper, the climate crisis will be treated first as a facet of the overall systemic biosphere crisis and second as a multiplier of existing crises, which are independent of each other, but which unfold in synergy, evolving together in interdependence. In such a context, the report refers, at the first level, to the characteristics and causes of the ecological and climate crisis. Then, the dominant logic that runs through the “green” deal currently promoted by the EU, will be explored to address this crisis. This logic only prolongs ineffective symptomatic “treatments”, while leading, in the long run, to the reproduction of the same vicious circles that nurtured the growing crisis. We propose as a solution a Copernican revolution in our mindsets, which will allow us to see in a different light the ways of dealing with the consequences of the ecological climate crisis. This will mark a “tipping point” — a paradigm shift in a post-growth direction where the institutions of the social and solidarity economy (SSE), being exemplary, are called upon to provide a transformative contribution. Among these institutions, the cooperatives, which are governed by SSE’s constituent principles, express a mild and “bottom-up” local and democratic economic activity, based on an economy of needs and not sizes. Through a multidisciplinary and multifaceted literature approach, this paper seeks to highlight the role of the SSE and, in particular, of cooperatives in mitigating the effects of the eco-climate crisis and in formulating feasible proposals and solutions.

Our study highlights important evidence on how universities in Georgia can and do promote equal opportunity and inclusion. Recent research shows that groups living in Georgia such as rural residents, women, vulnerable groups, ethnic minorities, internally displaced persons, migrants and people with special educational needs and disabilities face the problem of quality education and development opportunities. The study shows that the reason for this lies in insufficient coordination between authorities and universities. In addition, higher education institutions do not have clearly defined strategies and approaches to create an equitable and inclusive environment. Derived from a survey and in-depth discussions with university staff, scholars and students about their practices and challenges, it offers a unique picture of how universities in Georgia are tackling the problem with an unprecedented breath and scope. This work will further help universities develop their more effective strategies and policies. We are sure that it can also inform policy makers and other stakeholders in this field and serve as a basis for a fruitful dialogue to support the development of Georgian society in the years to come.

This study aims to identify the primary driving forces behind the recent high appreciation in housing prices, discover how regional mobility influences housing affordability, and determine what policies are effective to address the problem. To do this, we estimate the structural model of housing prices and regional mobility using 2012/2013 to 2020/2021 panel data for England and Japan. The results reveal that the housing market in England is quite responsive to changes in expected housing price appreciation and that regional mobility alleviates the housing affordability problem; however, the Japanese housing market lacks mobility and is responsive to the supply of new houses. Regional mobility in England was driven expected wage and house prices, which alleviated the negative effect of increased house prices and contributed to convergence of regional differences in affordability. In both countries, increased share of parttime workers would invite workers’ inflow and worsen the affordability. To address these issues, each country has implemented different policies, with varying degrees of effectiveness. The British government has targeted a substantial increase in housing supply, but it should be associated with measures for curving the expectation of house price appreciation in urban regions. The Japanese government, on the contrary, should increase housing stock by renovating vacant houses and liquidate the labour market.

All workers, but especially managers in charge and managers, must be trained and made aware of the risks of computer fatigue and the need to exercise the right to digital disconnection. In this way, an important step will be taken to change the business culture and climate and thus promote the well-being of workers. If managers and managers hardly disconnect from technology, hardly will their collaborators. In short, both one and the other must be aware of the physical psychosocial risks of not disconnecting after a day's work or during permits, vacations or temporary disabilities. Without a doubt, the computer fatigue that the Spanish legislator incorporated at the end of 2018 is the most serious psychosocial risk that the position with command and the worker can suffer. To avoid it, training and awareness actions are essential to clarify the dangers of constant non-connectivity to digital and telematic media.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are the vital navigation instruments used by managers to understand whether their business is on a successful voyage or whether it is veering off the prosperous path. The right set of indicators will show the company performance and point out the areas which need attention. The impact of COVID-19 on today’s globally integrated automotive sector is significant. The management has focused on main questions like how to accelerate cost-out measures and optimize the working capital across the entity. One of the items that have started to be in the center of attention nowadays is a company’s inventory and its level and turnover time. Therefore concerning about this, the inventory management should be sensitive in terms of continuous production and cash flow. Important question for management is how to identify, prioritize and accelerate cost-out measures across the entity. Finding the way how to optimize of volume of inventory, working capital and identify the proper measures to deliver rapid, tangible cash-flow benefits should be consulted in each company on daily basis.

This paper examines the impact of oil theft on sustainable economic development in Nigeria against the backdrop of the country’s dependence on petroleum as a source of the government’s revenue. The paper also assesses Nigeria’s oil resource economy and its contribution to national development. The article posits that although there is a large deposit of petroleum in Nigeria and oil resource is the country’s primary source of income, its exploitation has not engendered the desired sustainable development due to oil theft. Entrapped in the vicissitudes of oil theft exacerbated by the establishment of illegal refineries and oil bunkering, it has been difficult for the nation to generate the needed revenue to initiate development. Therefore, to what extent has oil theft affected revenue generation in Nigeria? What has been responsible for oil theft? This paper explores and interrogates these, and other variegated issues arising from the oil theft analysis and suggests the way forward. The research method in the paper is qualitative, employing descriptive and analytical tools to conclude.

{"title":"An Assessment of the Impact of Oil Theft on Sustainable Economic Development in Nigeria","authors":"Simi Peace Saje, Samuel Adamu Abubakar","doi":"10.15341/jbe(2155-7950)/02.14.2023/004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15341/jbe(2155-7950)/02.14.2023/004","url":null,"abstract":"This paper examines the impact of oil theft on sustainable economic development in Nigeria against the backdrop of the country’s dependence on petroleum as a source of the government’s revenue. The paper also assesses Nigeria’s oil resource economy and its contribution to national development. The article posits that although there is a large deposit of petroleum in Nigeria and oil resource is the country’s primary source of income, its exploitation has not engendered the desired sustainable development due to oil theft. Entrapped in the vicissitudes of oil theft exacerbated by the establishment of illegal refineries and oil bunkering, it has been difficult for the nation to generate the needed revenue to initiate development. Therefore, to what extent has oil theft affected revenue generation in Nigeria? What has been responsible for oil theft? This paper explores and interrogates these, and other variegated issues arising from the oil theft analysis and suggests the way forward. The research method in the paper is qualitative, employing descriptive and analytical tools to conclude. Essentially, the report argues and demonstrates that Nigeria’s development is far from sustainable despite the availability of oil deposits and their exploitation.","PeriodicalId":31279,"journal":{"name":"Kinerja Journal of Business and Economics","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135240249","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}
