More than half of the world's population of over six billion people reside in urban areas, placing increasing responsibility on governments to provide fundamental human necessities, including housing. This challenge is particularly pronounced in Kenya, where many County Government PPP affordable housing initiatives have either failed or been stalled. Both National and County Governments have experienced difficulties in executing these projects, reflecting the nascent stage of PPP application in many underprivileged countries. In Meru County, the Affordable Housing Project (AHP) employs PPP, primarily in the form of joint ventures. This approach distinguishes it from other existing projects and generates a knowledge gap regarding the assessment of the impact of public-private partnerships on the implementation of affordable housing initiatives in this region. The aim of this research was to explore the effects of stakeholder’s management in public private partnership on implementation of affordable housing projects in Meru County, Kenya. Guided by stakeholder theory, the study employed a descriptive research design, collecting data through a structured questionnaire. A proportionate stratified random sampling method was used to select the study sample from County officials, non-governmental organization managers, development partners' managers, and household heads from selected study areas where the projects have been initiated, notably in the Buri, Maweni, Mjini, and Makandara wards. A total of 395 questionnaires were issued to the sampled respondents from a total target of 31978 who included the stakeholders in affordable housing project estates in Meru County that included county official managers in DoLPH (15), NGO’s managers (25), development partners’ managers (5) engaged in affordable housing and household heads (350). The collected data was analyzed and results presented in tables and figures, the qualitative information was presented in prose.
世界上超过60亿的人口中有一半以上居住在城市地区,这使得政府越来越有责任提供基本的人类必需品,包括住房。这一挑战在肯尼亚尤为明显,在那里,许多县政府PPP经济适用房计划要么失败,要么停滞不前。国家和县政府在执行这些项目时都遇到了困难,这反映出PPP在许多贫困国家的应用还处于初级阶段。在Meru县,经济适用房项目(AHP)采用PPP,主要以合资企业的形式。这种方法使其与其他现有项目区别开来,并在评估公私伙伴关系对该地区实施负担得起的住房倡议的影响方面产生了知识差距。本研究的目的是探讨利益相关者在公私合作关系中的管理对肯尼亚梅鲁县经济适用房项目实施的影响。本研究以利益相关者理论为指导,采用描述性研究设计,通过结构化问卷收集数据。采用按比例分层随机抽样方法,从已启动项目的选定研究地区,特别是Buri、Maweni、Mjini和Makandara地区的县官员、非政府组织管理人员、发展伙伴管理人员和户主中选择研究样本。从31978年的总目标中抽取了395份问卷,其中包括梅鲁县经济适用房项目邨的利益相关者,包括DoLPH的县官员经理(15人),非政府组织经理(25人),从事经济适用房的发展合作伙伴经理(5人)和户主(350人)。对收集到的数据进行分析,结果以表格和图表的形式呈现,定性信息以散文形式呈现。

The main purpose of the study was to assess the influence of cost of capital on investment decision of non-financial firms listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya. The study employed the theory of Modern Portfolio and The trade-off theory. The study employed descriptive research design. The study was carried out at firms listed at the NSE, Kenya with a population of 46 non-financial firms listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) as at December 2019. A census of 46 non-financial firms was considered. Secondary data was collected from annual reports of the non-financial companies listed at NSE and the NSE handbooks. Expert opinion was used to ensure data validity and reliability. The data was analyzed descriptively by means and the standard deviation, while multiple regression analysis was used to establish the influence between the variables. Regression results showed that cost of equity has a positive effect on financial performance as measured by Return on Assets (β = 0.2737, p = 0.0000); cost of preference shares affects investment decision negatively and significantly (β = -0.2430, p = 0.0015), and that the effect of cost of debt on investment decision is significantly positive (β = 0.2934, p = 0.0000). Given from the findings of the study that less than 34% of variations can be attributed to the cost of capital on investment decisions for the listed non-financial firms, this study has proved that effective working capital management practices will play a crucial role in improving the overall profit margins for the listed non-financial firms at NSE. In conclusion, cost of debt is a significant positive contributor to the investment decision of the non-financial listed firms at the NSE. The debts are essential when the firm is lacking finance in running its daily expenditure smoothly. The NSE and other regulating authorities such as the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) should therefore ensure that policies are put in place to help the firms manage their cost of capital efficiently. These policies must be in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These policies may include availing access to credit facilities and promoting trading in shares of the listed firms and these policies should be integrated with SDGs, which recognizes that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
本研究的主要目的是评估资本成本对在肯尼亚内罗毕证券交易所上市的非金融公司投资决策的影响。本研究运用了现代投资组合理论和权衡理论。本研究采用描述性研究设计。该研究是在肯尼亚国家证券交易所上市的公司中进行的,截至2019年12月,在内罗毕证券交易所(NSE)上市的非金融公司共有46家。对46家非金融公司进行了调查。二级数据收集自在印度证券交易所上市的非金融公司的年报和印度证券交易所手册。采用专家意见保证数据的有效性和可靠性。采用均值和标准差对数据进行描述性分析,并采用多元回归分析建立变量之间的影响关系。回归结果显示,权益成本对资产收益率衡量的财务绩效有正向影响(β = 0.2737, p = 0.0000);优先股成本显著负向影响投资决策(β = -0.2430, p = 0.0015),负债成本显著正向影响投资决策(β = 0.2934, p = 0.0000)。从研究结果来看,不到34%的变化可归因于上市非金融公司投资决策的资本成本,本研究证明,有效的营运资金管理实践将在提高NSE上市非金融公司的整体利润率方面发挥关键作用。综上所述,债务成本对NSE非金融类上市公司的投资决策具有显著的正向影响。当公司缺乏资金来维持日常开支时,债务是必不可少的。因此,NSE和资本市场管理局(CMA)等其他监管机构应确保政策到位,以帮助公司有效地管理其资本成本。这些政策必须符合可持续发展目标(sdg)。这些政策可包括提供信贷便利和促进上市公司股票交易,这些政策应与可持续发展目标相结合,可持续发展目标认识到,一个领域的行动将影响其他领域的成果,发展必须平衡社会、经济和环境的可持续性。

Considering the high rate of competitive activities among organizations today, an organization can retain its share in the global market only by good performance. Organization can enhance its performance through motivation, ability, roles and situation. Some scholars are of the opinion that some traditional managerial accounting techniques are still useful for organization’s performance. The study therefore seeks to examine the impact of traditional managerial accounting techniques on organizational performance in Nigeria. The study adopted structured questionnaire for data collection. Test of hypotheses was carried out through Covariate analysis (ANCOVA). The study found that some traditional managerial accounting techniques have significant effects on organizational performance in Nigeria. To this end, the study recommends that some traditional managerial accounting techniques can still be adopted for organizational performance in Nigeria. The study concluded that only the most relevant traditional managerial accounting techniques should be adopted for organizational activities.
考虑到今天组织之间竞争活动的高比率,一个组织只有通过良好的绩效才能保持其在全球市场中的份额。组织可以通过激励、能力、角色和情境来提升绩效。一些学者认为,一些传统的管理会计技术对组织绩效仍然有用。因此,该研究旨在研究尼日利亚传统管理会计技术对组织绩效的影响。本研究采用结构化问卷进行数据收集。采用协变量分析(Covariate analysis, ANCOVA)进行假设检验。研究发现,一些传统的管理会计技术对尼日利亚的组织绩效有显著影响。为此,该研究建议,一些传统的管理会计技术仍然可以采用在尼日利亚的组织绩效。研究的结论是,组织活动只应采用最相关的传统管理会计技术。

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the impact of strategic planning drivers on the performance of faith-based healthcare institutions in Meru County, Kenya. There were four specific objectives: to assess the influence of leadership in strategic planning, environmental scanning, stakeholder involvement, and the strategic planning formulation process on the performance of faith-based healthcare institutions in Meru County, Kenya. The research drew upon the Strategic Fit Theory, Porter's Competitive Advantage Theory, and Institutional Theory. Adopting a descriptive research design, the study targeted 421 employees across 23 faith-based healthcare institutions in Meru County. Using Yamane's formula for categorical data, the study focused on a sample size of 205 respondents. Quantitative data was collected through questionnaires distributed to respondents using a drop-and-pick method, while qualitative data was gathered from hospital administrators using an interview guide. The study employed frequencies, means, and standard deviation to present descriptive results. For inferential statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and analysis of variance were used. The study's results revealed a positive and significant correlation between leadership, environmental scanning, stakeholder involvement, the strategy formulation process, and the organizational performance of faith-based healthcare institutions in Meru County. Regression analysis indicated that strategic planning drivers accounted for 59.5% of the variance in organizational performance. The study found that stakeholder involvement did not exert a significant influence on the performance of faith-based healthcare institutions. As a recommendation, the study suggests that faith-based healthcare institutions should enhance their strategic planning by strengthening collaborations with stakeholders, improving resource mobilization, evaluating threats and opportunities, and involving employees in the strategic planning formulation process. Additionally, the study recommends further research to assess the impact of the internal organizational environment on the performance of faith-based healthcare institutions in other counties in Kenya. Policymakers in faith-based organizations are encouraged to support individual organizations in developing strategic management guidelines that promote regulation and control.
本研究的主要目的是调查战略规划驱动因素对肯尼亚梅鲁县基于信仰的医疗机构绩效的影响。有四个具体目标:评估领导在战略规划、环境扫描、利益相关者参与和战略规划制定过程中对肯尼亚梅鲁县基于信仰的医疗保健机构绩效的影响。本研究借鉴了战略契合理论、波特竞争优势理论和制度理论。采用描述性研究设计,研究对象为Meru县23家基于信仰的医疗机构的421名员工。使用Yamane的分类数据公式,该研究集中在205名受访者的样本规模上。定量数据的收集是通过问卷调查的方式进行的,问卷调查的方式是随机抽取,而定性数据的收集是通过医院管理人员的访谈指南进行的。该研究采用频率、均值和标准偏差来呈现描述性结果。推断统计主要采用相关分析、回归分析和方差分析。研究结果显示,梅鲁县信仰型医疗机构的领导、环境扫描、利益相关者参与、策略制定过程与组织绩效之间存在显著正相关。回归分析表明,战略规划驱动因素占组织绩效方差的59.5%。研究发现,利益相关者参与对信仰型医疗机构的绩效没有显著影响。研究建议,信仰医疗机构应加强与利益相关者的合作,改善资源调动,评估威胁和机会,并让员工参与战略规划的制定过程,从而加强其战略规划。此外,该研究建议进一步研究,以评估内部组织环境对肯尼亚其他县基于信仰的医疗机构绩效的影响。鼓励信仰组织的决策者支持个别组织制定促进监管和控制的战略管理准则。

Study Design: This research used a quantitative descriptive method using panel data analysis. Place and Duration of Study: The scope of this research extends to G20 member countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, European Union, France, United Kingdom, Indonesia, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Rusia, Saudi Arabia, Turki, United States, and South Africa, between 1990-2021. Methodology: This research uses descriptive method combined with panel data analysis, analyze determine of GDP, IVA, UP, Trade, and FDI on Energy Intensity in G20 countries. Furthermore, the data uses is secondary data that has a regression model on panel data from 1990-2021. Results: The result of this research show that IVA has a positive relationship and has a significant effect on increasing energy intensity in G20 countries. GDP, Trade and UP variables have a negative relationship and have a significant effect on Energy Intensity in G20 countries. Meanwhile, the FDI variable has no significant effect on Energy Intensity in G20 countries. Conclusion: Based on research result, Energy Intensity in G20 countries is influenced by various factors, The IVA factor has a positive and significant relationship with energy intensity, can be utilized to increase productivity and economic growth, but need to be balanced with effort to increase energy efficiency. While the GDP, Trade and Urban Population factors have a negative and significant relationship to energy intensity. However, FDI does not have a significant effect on energy intensity in G20 countries. The government should consider policies to reduce dependence on intensive energy, especially in sector that have a negative relation with energy intensity such as GDP, trade and urban population.
目的:本研究的目的是分析G20国家国内生产总值(GDP)、工业增加值(IVA)、城市人口(UP)、贸易和外国直接投资(FDI)对能源强度的影响。 研究设计:本研究采用面板数据分析的定量描述方法。 研究地点和时间:本研究的范围扩展到G20成员国,如阿根廷、巴西、加拿大、中国、德国、欧盟、法国、英国、印度尼西亚、印度、意大利、日本、韩国、墨西哥、俄罗斯、沙特阿拉伯、土耳其、美国和南非,时间为1990-2021年。 方法:本研究采用描述性方法结合面板数据分析,分析G20国家GDP、IVA、UP、Trade和FDI对能源强度的影响。此外,数据使用的是对1990-2021年面板数据有回归模型的二次数据。 结果:本研究结果表明,IVA对G20国家能源强度的提高具有显著的正向关系和显著的影响。GDP、贸易和UP变量呈负相关关系,对G20国家的能源强度有显著影响。同时,FDI变量对G20国家的能源强度没有显著影响。 结论:基于研究结果,G20国家的能源强度受到多种因素的影响,其中IVA因素与能源强度呈正相关且显著,可以用来提高生产率和经济增长,但需要平衡努力提高能源效率。 GDP、贸易和城市人口因素与能源强度呈显著负相关。然而,FDI对G20国家能源强度的影响并不显著。政府应该考虑减少对密集型能源依赖的政策,特别是在GDP、贸易和城市人口等与能源强度呈负相关的部门。

Effect of Recruitment and Selection on Employee’s Performance in Public Universities in Meru County, Kenya 肯尼亚梅鲁县公立大学招聘与选拔对员工绩效的影响
Pub Date : 2023-10-30 DOI: 10.9734/ajeba/2023/v23i221141

Human resource management encompasses all aspects of an organization's interactions with its personnel, including hiring and firing, benefits administration, goal setting and monitoring, employee performance evaluations, and handling employee departures. Public universities in Meru County have established rules and processes to provide their highest possible quality of service to their students. Similarly, these universities' human resources departments have helped establish procedures to guarantee staff members' adherence to legal frameworks, punctuality in reporting for work, absence-free attendance, audits of risk management practices, and a focus on workplace health, safety, and succession. Despite their best efforts, they are experiencing poor and substandard staff performance. Staff morale is poor and employees are not committed to their jobs, which results in frequent walkouts. Employees vent their frustrations, citing the high turnover rate as a reason why they too are looking for new employment. Nevertheless, there is paucity of conceptual and empirical knowledge. Thus, the ground for the present study was to determine the effect of recruitment and selection on employee performance in public universities in Meru County. The study employed descriptive cross-sectional research design. Academic, administrative, and human resources personnel made up the 90 study's target population. The study employed census method to obtain the study respondents. The study employed structured questionnaires to collect data. A pretesting of data collection tools was undertaken at university of Embu due to comparative characteristics. The pilot study enhanced validity and reliability of the tools. Using a statistical software for the social sciences (SPSS) window version 25, numerical data obtained in the field via surveys were sorted and recorded. The researcher used descriptive statistics (such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) to describe and summarize the data, and inferential statistics to draw conclusions from the data. Pearson's bivariate correlation and multiple regression analysis were inferential statistics that was used to learn more about the correlation and effect of the variables of interest with regard to the continuous variables of interest. The study observed the ethical considerations of the research. This research uncovered a noteworthy positive correlation between various human resource functions, including recruitment and selection within public universities in Meru County. Through regression analysis, it was determined that approximately 46.1% of the variations in employee performance across these public universities could be attributed collectively to the utilization of recruitment and selection.

Mugambi, Jacqueline Omuya","doi":"10.9734/ajeba/2023/v23i221141","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9734/ajeba/2023/v23i221141","url":null,"abstract":"Human resource management encompasses all aspects of an organization's interactions with its personnel, including hiring and firing, benefits administration, goal setting and monitoring, employee performance evaluations, and handling employee departures. Public universities in Meru County have established rules and processes to provide their highest possible quality of service to their students. Similarly, these universities' human resources departments have helped establish procedures to guarantee staff members' adherence to legal frameworks, punctuality in reporting for work, absence-free attendance, audits of risk management practices, and a focus on workplace health, safety, and succession. Despite their best efforts, they are experiencing poor and substandard staff performance. Staff morale is poor and employees are not committed to their jobs, which results in frequent walkouts. Employees vent their frustrations, citing the high turnover rate as a reason why they too are looking for new employment. Nevertheless, there is paucity of conceptual and empirical knowledge. Thus, the ground for the present study was to determine the effect of recruitment and selection on employee performance in public universities in Meru County. The study employed descriptive cross-sectional research design. Academic, administrative, and human resources personnel made up the 90 study's target population. The study employed census method to obtain the study respondents. The study employed structured questionnaires to collect data. A pretesting of data collection tools was undertaken at university of Embu due to comparative characteristics. The pilot study enhanced validity and reliability of the tools. Using a statistical software for the social sciences (SPSS) window version 25, numerical data obtained in the field via surveys were sorted and recorded. The researcher used descriptive statistics (such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) to describe and summarize the data, and inferential statistics to draw conclusions from the data. Pearson's bivariate correlation and multiple regression analysis were inferential statistics that was used to learn more about the correlation and effect of the variables of interest with regard to the continuous variables of interest. The study observed the ethical considerations of the research. This research uncovered a noteworthy positive correlation between various human resource functions, including recruitment and selection within public universities in Meru County. Through regression analysis, it was determined that approximately 46.1% of the variations in employee performance across these public universities could be attributed collectively to the utilization of recruitment and selection. Consequently, this study concludes that recruitment and selection exerted the most significant influence on employee performance.

Aims: This study aims to analyze how Nigerian government activities impact inflation, considering the inadequacy of monetary policy. It focuses on recurrent and capital expenditures in various sectors and their influence on inflation, as well as public debt and tax revenue's role in inflation dynamics. Study Design: The study employed secondary data. Place and Duration of Study: Data sources include the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin, Debt Management Office (DMO), and World Development Indicators (WDI) spanning from 1986 to 2021 Methodology: The study employs econometric techniques, including unit root tests and Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) analysis, with Inflation Rate (IFL) as the dependent variable. Independent variables representing fiscal policy include capital expenditure on transfers (CTRA), recurrent expenditure on administration (RADM), recurrent spending on social and community services (RSCS), recurrent expenditure on economic services (RECE), recurrent expenditure on transfers (RTRA), capital expenditure on administration (CADM), capital spending on social and community services (CSCS), capital expenditure on economic services (CECE), government direct and indirect taxes (TAX), government capital expenditure (GCE), government recurrent expenditure (GRE), and external debts (PUD). Results: Key findings reveal that in the long run, only RADM, RTRA, CADM, CECE, CSCS, GRE, GCE, PUD, and TAX had statistically significant relationships with inflation (IFL). RADM, CECE, CSCS, GCE, PUD, and TAX exhibited negative relationships with IFL, while RTRA, CADM, GRE showed positive relationships. In the short run, RSCS, RTRA, CADM, CECE, CSCS, CTRA, GRE, GCE, and TAX displayed statistical significance. RSCS, RTRA, CADM, and GRE positively correlated with IFL, while CECE, CSCS, CTRA, GCE, and TAX had negative associations. Conclusion: The study concludes that Nigeria's fiscal policy should prioritize increased government capital spending in economic and social sectors to manage inflation effectively. Additionally, implementing fiscal restraint through higher taxation can help mitigate inflationary pressures.

Public infrastructure projects have progressed at a moderate rate since independence. The information provided by the Kenyan government in 2014 regarding their vision for 2030, aiming to make Kenya an internationally competitive and prosperous nation, shows that the slow progress in implementing public infrastructure projects has resulted in inadequate road networks, underdeveloped public facilities, a lack of connectivity between rural areas and industrial hubs, insufficient measures to mitigate challenges in agricultural regions, and a decline in formerly thriving industries. County governments face a significant challenge in effectively utilizing knowledge management within project management to maximize their outcomes. This research aimed to ascertain whether knowledge acquisition practices influences performance of county development projects in Meru County Government. The research was conducted in a descriptive manner. It targeted a total of 139 respondents from nine Sub-counties in Meru County, including members of county assemblies (MCAs), sub-county departmental heads, project management committee members, and county chief officers. A sample of 103 individuals was selected from the population to participate in the survey. Structured questionnaires were used as the primary research tool to collect data from the population. The responses were coded and categorized accordingly. The data collected was inputted into SPSS 27.0 and MS Excel for further computational analysis. The study revealed a strong correlation coefficient, with an R value of 0.897, indicating a high level of correlation between the variables. The adjusted R-squared value, which was 0.801, suggested that variations in county development projects were significantly influenced by the independent variable. The study's findings suggest that knowledge acquisition had a positive impact on the performance of the county development projects in Meru County. To enhance this positive influence, the study recommends that the public service engage with technical experts in specific fields for knowledge creation, emphasize the value of employees, organize formal training sessions for new knowledge creation, plan seminars for knowledge sharing, and ensure that staff members are trained in diverse tasks to facilitate information exchange. Furthermore, it is recommended that training programs encompass a wide range of tasks and duties to promote knowledge sharing among staff.
自独立以来,公共基础设施项目以适度的速度发展。肯尼亚政府在2014年提供的关于其2030年愿景的信息,旨在使肯尼亚成为一个具有国际竞争力和繁荣的国家,表明在实施公共基础设施项目方面进展缓慢,导致道路网络不足,公共设施不发达,农村地区和工业中心之间缺乏连通性,缓解农业地区挑战的措施不足,以及以前繁荣的工业下降。县政府在有效利用项目管理中的知识管理以最大化其成果方面面临着重大挑战。摘要本研究旨在探讨知识获取实务是否会影响梅鲁县政府的县域发展专案绩效。这项研究是以描述性的方式进行的。该调查的对象是来自梅鲁县9个副县的139名受访者,包括县议会成员、副县部门负责人、项目管理委员会成员和县长。从人群中选出103个人参加调查。结构性调查问卷被用作主要的研究工具,从人群中收集数据。对回答进行了相应的编码和分类。将采集到的数据分别输入SPSS 27.0和MS Excel进行计算分析。研究发现,相关系数较强,R值为0.897,表明变量之间具有较高的相关性。调整后的r平方值为0.801,说明县域发展项目的变化受到自变量的显著影响。研究结果表明,知识获取对Meru县县域发展项目绩效具有正向影响。为了加强这一积极影响,该研究建议公共服务部门与特定领域的技术专家接触,以创造知识,强调雇员的价值,组织正式的培训课程,以创造新知识,计划知识共享研讨会,并确保工作人员接受各种任务的培训,以促进信息交流。此外,建议培训方案包括广泛的任务和职责,以促进工作人员之间的知识分享。

Aims: This study aims to illustrate empirically the impact of governance and environmental uncertainty on the quality of B-accredited private universities and their long-term competitive advantage. Study Design: The method used in this study used descriptive and causal-explanatory methods to test the research hypothesis. Place and Duration of Study: All private universities accredited by B in Indonesia. Methodology: This Research used descriptive and causal-explanatory methods. Data for this research were collected using a questionnaire and supplemented with interviews involving various university leaders. A random sampling technique was utilized to select a sample of 136 B-accredited private universities in Indonesia. The data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. The study's findings show that higher education governance has a significant influence on both the quality of higher education and long-term competitive advantage, both directly and indirectly. Results: In contrast, environmental uncertainty has a major impact on higher education quality but has little effect on long-term competitive advantage. Higher education quality, on the other hand, has a strong beneficial influence on long-term competitive advantage. Furthermore, this research demonstrates that improved quality among B-accredited private institutions boosts their competitive advantage. Conclusion: This research shows that improving quality among B-accredited private institutions will increase their competitive advantage. Therefore, the results of this investigation provide a valuable contribution in addressing the problem of substandard quality in private universities in Indonesia and expand existing research on environmental governance and communication in university environments.
