The petroleum wholesale sector plays a significant role in the value chain of South Africa. Although there has been strides by the South African government to provide an inclusive and enabling entrepreneurial ecosystem for emerging businesses, some industries have been affected and therefore lagging behind. The petroleum industry is a case in point and has been moving slowly toward achieving its ambitious transformation goals as committed in the Liquid Fuels Charter. This article seeks to analyse the factors affecting SMEs’ entrepreneurial growth. A qualitative approach followed, and the findings suggest that the power of the oil majors in the value chain and the apparent government support hinder SMEs’ ability to grow in the sector. The paper recommends that small businesses in an interdisciplinary programme gain skills from different industries, and therefore able to service various industries which will broaden their service and competencies.

The article - "The role of education in the growth of the Georgian economy" – is dedicated to the economic problem of Georgia, particularly unemployment, and explores the connection between the quality of education and this issue. An even more significant concern is the disproportionately high number of unemployed individuals, accounting for 18.5% of the working population. Among them, a remarkably large percentage consists of graduates from higher education institutions (32.3%) and vocational schools (over 40%). The author attributes this situation to the low quality of education in both types of institutions and the mismatch between the professions and competencies acquired by students and the labor market requirements. The article mentions that Europe experienced a similar problem before Georgia has faced it. To address this issue, the European Commission launched several programs and, in 2006, adopted an official document, “Knowledge into practice”. This document recognized the new model of higher education, known as the "Triple Helix" and European countries gradually started transitioning to this model. The authors of the article recommend the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia, along with all its affiliated universities, to get acquainted with this model. By adapting it to the local conditions of Georgia, they should commence preparatory work for its practical implementation. It is suggested that each university in Georgia be encouraged to identify a “Center of Excellence” they are proud of and can expand to create a strong bond with local business firms. The relationship should serve students well. The strength of the "Triple Helix" model of higher education in the article is the close cooperation of universities with the business sector and the government of the country. The government of the country establishes the educational framework and regulations, while the business sector provides specific demands for skilled professionals and universities fulfill these. Graduates trained under this model are subsequently employed by the businesses that requested their specific skills. The author of the article claims that this model has worked in the UK, USA, Germany, Serbia and elsewhere, and will work in Georgia as well. In addition to the Triple Helix model, the article also emphasizes the significance of human capital as an essential factor of production contributing to economic growth. This has been developed by Professor Gary Becker of the University of Chicago (Becker, 1975). Furthermore, the article highlights the successful implementation of Co-Operative Education in the US, where students are placed in the workplace alternating with their academic studies. This program has been in place since 1906 at the University of Cincinnati and has resulted in half of the Co-Op students being offered full-time employment upon graduation (University of Cincinnati, 2021).

With high youth unemployment rates in South Africa, strategies to increase youth entrepreneurship have become essential. Youth in rural communities tend to face circumstances which require proper examination to establish how they can be motivated to engage in entrepreneurship. The purpose of this study is to explore the question: How do community and family factors in a rural context influence youth to engage in entrepreneurship? To address this research question, a case study research design was adopted, and data were collected through focus group discussions with youth entrepreneurs in a rural township community. The fifteen-member focus group discussion provided evidence that youths in rural contexts face unique challenges and scenarios that demand specific consideration. Essentially, it was established that the community and the families of the entrepreneurs provided the motivation to overcome circumstances and to achieve. Community elders and leaders were found to be critical in influencing the psyche and entrepreneurial behavior of the youths. Resources and entrepreneurial ideas and skills were also found to be passed from generation to generation through inheritance systems or through sharing. Rural communities were further found to be endowed with various resources whose exploitation was based on the collective culture in rural communities. Families were also found to be sources of number of entrepreneurial traits such as risk taking, desire for independence or the need to achieve. This study recommends that both public and private institutions in rural communities should promote the welfare of rural communities and families so that imperative entrepreneurial behavior emerges.

Many of today's most successful companies recognise emotional intelligence as a key indicator of long-term professional success. Emotional intelligence relies in large part on one's ability to shift and change in response to new information and circumstances. The purpose of this research is to determine how secondary school teachers' emotional intelligence affects their sense of professional competence, leadership style, and classroom performance. Results demonstrated a favourable relationship between emotional intelligence and female instructors' sense of competence, leadership style, and students' achievement. The first step in cultivating educators with high emotional intelligence is for teacher preparation programmes to craft their curricula with this end in mind, with the intention of assisting educators in becoming more effective, with the inclusion of various strategies for improving leadership style, and with the comprehensive coverage of all necessary teaching skills.

Purpose: To determine what motivates people to shop at night-time. Methodology: A non-probability purposive sampling methodology was utilised to collect survey responses from 404 night-time grocery shoppers in Johannesburg, South Africa. The results were segmented based on Living Standard Measure (LSM) profiles, shopping pattern variables and shopping motivation variables. Findings: The night-time shopper can be classified as functional, with efficiency and value-seeking behaviour forming part of the utilitarian shopping motives driving his/her behaviour. Practical implications: Specific marketing or retail strategies which seek to target the night-time grocery shoppers in Johannesburg can be developed. Originality: The study fills a gap in knowledge about the motivation of night-time shoppers.

The personnel policy of a modern organization is one of the important issues in the way of establishing and improving both intra-organizational and international relations. The modern world is characterized by constant changes and a high level of development, which changes are related to the development of democracy, strengthening of competitiveness, globalization, etc. In the modern world, only the development of technologies is not a prerequisite for the success of companies. The main tasks of these changes are people, personnel policy, personnel selection, its management, employee relations in the organization, effective communication. The main goal of the work is to present the main aspects of the personnel policy in the banking sector in Georgia and to develop conclusions and recommendations in accordance with modern requirements in this direction. The methodological basis of the research is the questionnaire survey conducted in JSC Bank of Georgia and JSC TBC Bank, as well as the inductive and deductive methods of research and the works that belong to Georgian and foreign scientists. Researchers' ideas and concepts related to human resources selection-recruitment issues. In the wake of current changes in the world, the human role as a resource determining competitive advantage is becoming more and more important in modern management. Based on the research, it can be said that in the era of globalization, human resource is considered to be the most important asset, because the successful results of a modern organization are directly related to the effective management of human resources. Accordingly, the process of personnel selection and management carried out by companies in accordance with existing and strategic goals are very relevant issues in modern organizations. The scientific originality of the paper is: - the conditions for the innovative development of the modern human resources management systems of the organization are determined. - The main principles and technologies of personnel reserve management are studied. - the overseas experience of working with the personnel reserve in the organization as a management innovation is analyzed.

The study aimed to identify the level of efficiency of the Saudi capital market and the business sectors included in it during the Corona pandemic, with a comparison between these sectors. The daily indices values of the capital market and the business sectors included in it were relied upon during the pandemic period from 2020 to 2022. The indicators were described through the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and a graphical display of the trend graph for each indicator. To test the efficiency of the capital market and the sectors included in it, the Jarque – Bera test was used to test the Normality, the Run test to test the random walk of the indices values, and Augmented Dickey Fuller test (ADF) to test the stationary of the indices values series during the study period. The most important results of the study were the inefficiency of the weak form of the Saudi capital market and the sectors included in it during the pandemic period. The study also found that the sectors most affected by the pandemic are the transportation sector, the construction sector, public utilities, the entertainment sector, and the retail sector for luxury goods. While the sectors least affected by the pandemic are the pharmaceutical sector, health care, food, energy, and the telecommunications sector. The most important recommendations were that the individual investor should be careful when investing financially in business sectors that work in the field of entertainment and luxury goods in periods of natural crises, and it is preferable to invest in basic goods and services sectors, and the Capital Market Authority should educate investors on how financial investment is made in light of crises , while achieving high transparency, and fully providing data to investors so that no unusual returns or losses are achieved.

Colleges of Education and other tertiary institutions like universities assume the role of training and producing teachers to teach in junior secondary schools and primary schools in Nigeria. The success or failure of any college of education depends very much on the ability of the institution to train and develop its staff into a productive, competent and skilled work force which is capable of, and willing to work towards the realization of these objectives. Past studies have revealed that employee performance may be affected by factors such as training, burnout, organizational justice, compensation and environmental support. Therefore, the current study examined the Influence of Job Related Factors on the Performance of Academic Staff in Jigawa State College of Education, Gumel. A total of 159 academic staff participated in the research. A survey research design was used, and data were collected by using instruments adapted from past studies. The study employed partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using SPSS software. The results of the structural model showed that burnout, organizational justice, supportive college environment have significant negative effect on academic staff performance and Compensation and training and development have significant positive effect on academic staff performance in JSCOE Gumel. The study therefore recommended social intervention, training and development programs and fairness and justice should be exercised in organizational dealings.

We revisit factors associated with seasonality of stock markets. We find that interest rates and their seasonal components exhibit a strong relationship with returns and that association is more pronounced in countries, where interest rate seasonality is generally small. Additionally, using difference-in-difference estimation, we add to the growing evidence of increased synchronicity among countries belonging to the European Monetary Union. While we find strong evidence for stock market relationship with economic factors, our sample exhibits little indication that changing risk preferences throughout the year affect seasonality in stock returns.
