This study examined the impact of leadership styles on organizational performance. The style of leadership an organization uses to a large extent can predict the level of effectiveness and efficiency of its workers thereby having a huge effect on organizational performance. A descriptive research design was utilized to carry out this study. Out of a population of 889 respondents, a sample size of 276 respondents was drawn from nine departments of the Bayelsa Specialist Hospital. The research instrument used for the study was a structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using multiple regression via the statistical package of social sciences (SPSS). The findings of the study revealed that leadership styles have a significant effect on organizational performance at (R=.976, R2=.962 at p=0.000). The statistical findings show that the independent variable (leadership styles) measured using laissez faire and democratic leadership styles accounts for 96.2% of variations in the dependent variable (organizational performance) which was measured using effectiveness. Therefore, the study recommends that organizations should invest in leadership training programs to enhance leadership skills especially for managerial positions. This would impact positively on employee effectiveness as such boost organizational performance.

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports on inflation in Nigeria over the period 2000–2021. Utilizing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound co-integration approach, the study investigated both long-term and short-term relationships between LNG exports, natural gas prices, crude oil prices, and inflation in Nigeria. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test indicated a mixed order of integration for the variables, suggesting the appropriateness of the ARDL cointegration method. The empirical results revealed the presence of a long-term relationship among these factors. In the long term, LNG exports, natural gas prices, and crude oil prices exhibited varying effects on inflation. While natural gas prices and crude oil prices had a statistically significant adverse impact on inflation at a 5% significance level, LNG exports did not show statistical significance. In the short term, LNG exports displayed both a negative and statistically insignificant influence, whereas crude oil prices had a positive and statistically significant effect. Natural gas prices, on the other hand, did not impact inflation significantly in the short term. The Granger causality tests revealed that there is no causal relationship between LNG exports and inflation in Nigeria. Although the influence of LNG exports on inflation lacks statistical significance, it is recommended that the government continue its commitment to the LNG sector, focusing on infrastructure and technology investments to enhance competitiveness and efficiency. Expanding into new markets and diversifying the LNG portfolio will ensure a steady revenue stream while prioritising economic diversification beyond the oil and gas sector

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence E-Commerce adoption from a Lesotho consumers’ perspective and further classify these under a cluster of either enabling or inhibiting factors of the technology in the context of study using an adapted Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a framework. TAM has been widely used to understand why some individuals embrace technology, while others reject the same. However, several studies have identified TAM’s inability to predict a purchase intention; hence the study proposed to test a conceptual framework adapted from (TAM) with the relevant constructs that influence E-Commerce adoption as identified by literature to compensate for the weaknesses. The investigation employed a quantitative research approach, and a survey was distributed online to collect data. 275 participants responded to the survey. Both snowball and purposive sampling techniques were used, and data was analysed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The research findings revealed: Attitude and Convenience, Time and Cost Savings, and Perceived Ease of Use as enabling factors, whereas Dependability, and Accessibility and Policy Initiatives were established as inhibiting factors in Lesotho. Meanwhile, descriptive statistics established that 74.6% of consumers have adopted the technology. Ultimately, a new conceptual framework was developed from the constructs that are unique to Lesotho and it was coined Mokhoro – Which is a Basotho rondavel or hut.

The presented study thoroughly investigates the technical profitability of the Tunisian automobile insurance market using a quantitative research approach with interpretivism as its foundation. The study aims to offer insightful information about the dynamics and profitability of the sector by concentrating on the combined ratio and applying the S/P ratio calculation. The data show that the Tunisian auto insurance industry faces serious obstacles. The S/P ratios continually exceeded 100% from 2019 to 2021, indicating a chronic problem of low technical profitability. Notably, the civil responsibility guarantees considerably added to this imbalance, particularly in the “agricultural utility” and “2-wheel use” categories, with S/P ratios rising to frightening heights, like 937% in 2012. These findings highlight the pressing necessity for pricing modifications and a thorough comprehension of the nuances of the market. The Tunisian auto insurance industry must address underpricing concerns and increase overall profitability viable over the long run. This study offers helpful insights for policymakers and business experts trying to manage these difficult issues and promote a more vibrant insurance market.

The study examines the effect of digital services trading on the economic growth of panel data from five (5) world regions, namely, Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) between 2005 and 2021. The study employs quantitative experimental methods of Panel vector autoregression (PVAR) models as dynamic estimators and the Fixed Effects (FE) models as static estimators. The PVAR model analyses indicate that the digital services trade has a significant positive long-run effect on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in all five regions. For every 1% increase in digital services trade, GDP in the OECD region increases by 6.75%, followed by Europe at 3.19%, 2.11% in Latin America, 1.02% in Asia, and is lowest in the African region panel at 0.82%. The static FE analyses also shows similar results. These findings confirm the hypothesis that deep internet/digital penetration positively impacts the efficiency of digital services trade. The study, therefore, recommends that policymakers from developing world regions should increase investments in digital deepening infrastructure which should include among others, promoting, policy and regulatory measures that augment digital infrastructure installations in rural places, developing the digital skills to mitigate digital illiteracy, and promoting the adoption of cutting-edge digital technologies.

This study investigated the factors affecting the perceived shopping value and online purchase intentions of Filipino millennial parents in Quezon City, specifically in the context of e-stores selling baby and child-specific products. Using the Stimulus-Organism-Response model, the researcher used a causal research design to explore the relationships among e-store image attributes, perceived shopping value, and online purchasing intentions. The research utilized an adapted survey questionnaire administered to the respondents through a Google Form. The 400 participants, chosen through purposive sampling, were Filipino millennial parents with prior experience shopping at baby and child-specific specialty e-stores. Findings revealed that only security images significantly affected utility value, while design, order fulfillment, customer service, and security images significantly affected hedonic value. Also, a hedonic value significantly affected online purchase intention and mediated the relationship between e-store image and purchase intention. Four variables design, order fulfillment, customer service, and security had a direct positive relationship with online purchase intent. Thus, the study concluded that specific factors of e-store image significantly affect Filipino millennial parents’ shopping values and influence their online purchasing intentions. The study’s findings contribute to an underexplored area in the literature by emphasizing the unique context of Filipino millennial parents. It provides valuable insights for e-commerce targeting this demographic. It offers recommendations on practices and further research, such as a deeper exploration of hedonic value’s influence on purchase intention and cross-platform comparisons, which were also provided.

In several developing countries, tax collection by government relied on manual taxation, but there is now more drive towards introduction of electronic online filling of taxes. In Kenya, online tax system relies on integrated tax system known as iTax system. This study determined the relationship between online tax system and tax compliance among online traders in Uasin Gishu in Kenya. The study is based on three theories as part of the theoretical framework, that is, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) Theory and Game Theory Model of Equilibrium in Tax Compliance. The research study adopted a positivist research paradigm and explanatory research design. Primary data were collected using online questionnaires from a sample of 160 online traders respondents in Uasin Gishu. The study found that during the response to five attributes of tax compliance, the there was low levels of tax compliance. The study also reported low levels of perceived iTax security concerns as well as perceived tax system stability. The multiple linear regression coefficient (R2 = 0.863, P < 0.001) was positive indicating a positive correlation between perceived iTax security and perceived tax system stability with tax compliance. We conclude that perceived security risks concerns and perceived tax system stability affected tax compliance among online traders in Uasin Gishu County. Based on the findings, it is suggested that policy makers should not just place emphasis on technology but pay more attention on the characteristics of potential iTax users, e.g. their perceived security and system stability while implementing iTax service.
在一些发展中国家，政府的税收征收依赖于人工征税，但现在更有动力采用电子在线填报税收。在肯尼亚，网上税收系统依赖于被称为ittax系统的综合税收系统。本研究确定了在线税收制度与肯尼亚瓦辛吉舒在线交易商的税收合规性之间的关系。本研究以技术接受模型(TAM)理论和税收遵从均衡博弈论模型作为理论框架的一部分。本研究采用实证主义研究范式和解释性研究设计。主要数据是通过在线调查问卷收集的，调查对象为华新吉舒地区160名在线交易商。研究发现，在对税务合规五个属性的回应中，税务合规水平较低。该研究还指出，人们对税收安全的担忧程度较低，对税收制度稳定性的担忧程度也较低。多元线性回归系数(R2 = 0.863, P <0.001)为正，表明感知税收安全、感知税收制度稳定性与税收合规之间存在正相关。我们的结论是，感知安全风险的担忧和感知税收制度的稳定性影响了瓦新吉曙县网上交易者的税收合规。基于研究结果，建议政策制定者不应仅仅关注技术，而应更多地关注潜在的ittax用户的特征，例如他们在实施ittax服务时的感知安全性和系统稳定性。

Previous studies have primarily focused on issues related to income inequality, aiming to identify the underlying causes and urging swift action to mitigate such disparities. In this context, the current article expands upon existing literature by introducing the influence of corruption and institutional quality. This study contributes to the existing knowledge by investigating the interplay between institutional quality, corruption, and income inequality within SAARC countries spanning 2000 to 2021, sourced from World Governance Indicators, Transparency International, Global Consumption and Income Project, and World Development Indicators. After analysed the properties of data, FMOLS analytical approach employed. The empirical analysis validates the enduring effects of the examined factors on income inequality over the long term. The findings indicate that institutional quality exerts a notable and favorable influence in reducing income inequality. Conversely, corruption, the combined impact of corruption and institutional quality substantially and adversely affect income inequality. Addressing the imperative of ensuring an equitable income distribution across the SAARC economies necessitates implementing comprehensive strategies to foster enduring institutional quality and effectively manage corruption. Study’s conceptual and empirical advancements carry significant implications for policy formulation within this region. They offer valuable insights for the region’s endeavors to ameliorate income inequality. This study underscores the importance of measures to enhance institutional quality and combat corruption within SAARC countries. Such measures should be strategically designed to tackle income distribution challenges and promote greater equity.
