The following paper represents an in-depth analysis of the causality between motivation and performance of human resources, in organizational contexts. By analyzing the complexity of the two concepts individually, followed by the correlations between the two, the current paper will prove the bidirectionality of this relationship: motivation and performance determining each. Such a proven relationship will bring significant added value to the organizations that are interested to enrich their Human Resources practices, allowing them to strategically plan and target their actions in a manner that will ensure high level of involvement, engagement and active participation of their people. The study becomes both a theoretical and practical foundation of strategic HR management, in terms of how can motivation and performance be instrumented in order to align the individual efforts to the organizational strategy. In terms of methodology, the paper approaches a qualitative method, starting by identifying the elements that determine motivation and the ones that determine performance, including the way they can determine one another. Current paper is therefore an initial study, that could then be valued in further quantitative studies that would collect and interpret statistical data to demonstrate the theoretical hypothesis and model proposed.

Due to increased urbanisation and motorisation, the road transport sector has become instrumental in the development of the world economy. However, this has left the society and the environment with negative impacts, otherwise refer to as negative externalities. One of the most obvious evidence of these external costs is the road traffic accidents (RTAs). RTAs have physical, social, emotional and economic implications. To address these implications, the international community has responded with series of programmes and policies. However, RTAs have continue to claim the lives and property of people of especially developing countries who, unlike their developed counterparts, have not been successful in implementing programmes and policies that drastically reduce the prevalence of RTAs. In this study, we highlighted the importance of social marketing in addressing the lingering problems of RTAs in Nigeria. We provided some practical examples on how marketing concepts could be applied in addressing the social aspect of these issues and maintain safer driving. We believe that social marketing will be (and remains) the only option to overcoming RTAs and their attendant health, economic, environmental and social challenges in, especially, developing countries where RTAs are a major problem.

This paper deals with a managerial decision to maximize net income for shipping business characterized by both high operational and financial risks. Particularly, dry bulk carrier shipping business has shown repeatedly dramatic market cycles since year 1980. This case analysis for dry bulk shipping business is attempted to verify the effectiveness of proposed investment decision model in terms of financial performance for a specific period where the freight market experienced another huge business cycle. Since the tramp shipping business is capital-intensive and high risk industry, managers are required to avoid these business risks and maximize business profit consisting of operational income and capital gain by asset play. In essence, the managers are required to make timely and rational decision in both sale and purchase of their ships. There are three alternatives in investment on shipping business: i.e. chartering, second-hand ship, and new shipbuilding. This case study assumes that a shipping company is able to choose the alternatives of chartering and purchasing second-hand ships in their investment decision because the new shipbuilding requires at least 2 years for delivery and operation. The financial results of case analyses under dynamic business environment and condition reveal that the managers must pay keen attention to secondhand ship market greatly depending on freight market showing recession, recovery, boom, and collapse. In sumshipping company has to buy a ship at the lowest price during the recession stage and sell it at the highest price during the boom stage and put a chartered ship into the service line for customers rather than keep operating the ship for the whole freight market cycle in which the company has no choice but to suffer a huge loss due tohigh operational and financial costs as well as to sharp decrease in revenues.

This study examined the effect interest rate on economic growth in Nigeria. Augmented Dickey – Fuller (ADF), Bound Test and Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) were employed to examine the effect of impact of interest rate on economic growth in Nigeria. The unit root test showed gross domestic product was 1(0) while interest rate, investment and gross capital formation were 1(1). The result of the Bound Test indicated long run relationship among the macroeconomic variables employed in the study. The result of the ARDL indicated that interest rate had negative effect on economic growth both in short run and long run. However, in the long run investment and gross capital formation were established to have positive effect on economic growth with gross capital formation being insignificant. It was concluded that interest rate has a macroeconomic tool is not effective in stimulating economic growth in Nigeria. It was recommended that the level of interest rate should be adequately controlled for the purpose of stimulating economic growth without inflationary pressure. Finally, robust macroeconomic policies aimed at ensuring economic stability should be formulated in order to increase capital formation and attract investment in order to promote economic growth.

This study examined the effect of interest rate deregulation on Nigerian banking system. The study adopted Augmented Dickey – Fuller (ADF), Bound test and Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL). The correlation result indicated that of the correlation matrix that all the explanatory variables (interest rate, lending rate and deposit rate) had effect on loan and advances. The results of the unit root test revealed that interest rate and lending rate were stationary at level 1(0) while loan and advances and deposit rate were stationary at first difference 1(1). Also the results of the bound test revealed that there exist long run equilibrium relationship among the variables. The result of the ARDL indicated that interest rate had significant effect on loan and advances while lending rate and deposit rate had an insignificant effect on loan and advances. It was concluded that banks should monitor the level of loan and advances in respect to major ratios for effective performance. The study thus, recommended that banks should monitor lending rate which should be fixed in order to enhance lending performance. Regulatory authority should ensure that macroeconomic variables such as money supply, liquidity ratio, lending rate, monetary policy rate are effectively managed to enhance bank performance.

In an attempt to provide a cross-cultural examination and documentation of the Protestant Work Ethic (PWE) in Chinese society, we examined the differences of PWE across ten demographic variables including gender, age, education, work experience, position, religious affiliation, party affiliation, income, type of work organization, and place of residence from a random sample of 1703 participants from all walks of life and from several provinces in China. We employed Mirels and Garrett’s (1971) PWE Scale to measure the PWE and a One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was performed to analyze the PWE scores. The results revealed that people having a graduate education, occupying senior positions, being with a monthly income ≥RMB5001, being Communist Party members, and living in South-East and North-East China expressed the strongest adherence to PWE. No significant difference on PWE existed in the categories of gender, age, work experience, type of work and religious affiliation.

Value addition after production would involve enhancements or additions to a product that result in higher returns to the commodity seller, who is often the smallholder farmer. This study was undertaken with the aim of analysing determinants of intensity of value addition to coffee by smallholders. A multi-stage stratified and simple random sampling technique was employed; and a total of 152 smallholder farmers from six kebeles were sampled. Data were collected from primary sources through a semi-structured interview schedule. Tobit econometric model was employed to identify the underlying determinants of coffee value addition. The result revealed that sex, literacy status, coffee farming experience, active family labour force, perception of farmers towards the adequacy of extension service on value addition, access to credit, ownership of sufficient drying facilities, perception of farmers towards price of dry cherry, and non- and off-farm income were significantly affected coffee value addition. The finding stress that policy aiming at offering farmers a fair price, providing adequate credit and other extension services, providing drying facilities, building capacity of farmers with knowledge, improving farmer’s business diversification besides coffee farming, and targeting gender inclusive strategy (paying attention to women) were recommended to increase coffee value addition at farm level.
