Abstract

The study aims to analyze the offenders of illegal logging in Indonesia and Nigeria from their legal liability regulations. The study employed a socio-legal approach involving literary analyses of legal materials used—the statutory regulations, scientific journals, and other pertinent documents. The results show that legal responsibility for illegal logging perpetrators in Indonesia is under the Law on Forestry, the Law on Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction, and the Law on Job Creation. In Nigeria, it is governed by several states, such as the Edo State Forestry (Amendment) Law 2002, the Cross River State Forestry Commission Law 2010, and the Taraba State Forestry Law 2010. Finally, the legal responsibility for illegal logging has been established in both countries. Accordingly, the Indonesian government is suggested to disseminate the latest laws and regulations so that the public and corporations are aware of them. Meanwhile, the Nigerian government is expected to immediately issue nationwide legislation on illegal logging so that law enforcement is not relied solely on the requirements of each state.

Abstract

This study explored the potential effects of Justin Trudeau's planned resignation on immigration reforms, U.S.-Canada trade relations, and geostrategic dynamics in North America under Donald Trump's presidency. Using a historical research approach, the study examined the political developments and policy changes during Trudeau's time in office, considering their future implications following his expected departure. The study utilized the Realist Theory of International Relations, focusing on the role of national interest and power in shaping relationships between states. The findings suggest that Trudeau’s resignation could lead to significant shifts in Canada’s immigration policies, potentially resulting in more restrictive measures aligned with conservative ideologies. In terms of trade, U.S.-Canada relations, already complicated by Trump’s protectionist stance and the USMCA renegotiation, may face greater instability, impacting the region’s economic stability. Furthermore, Trudeau’s departure could alter the geostrategic balance in North America, diminishing Canada’s diplomatic influence in trilateral negotiations with the U.S. and Mexico, as well as its position in global affairs. The study concluded that Trudeau's resignation would create a leadership gap that could challenge Canada’s policy continuity and international relationships. The study recommended among others that Canada should diversify its trade relationships to lessen dependence on the U.S., focusing on building stronger connections with emerging economies in Asia, the EU, and Africa.

Abstract

Abstract. This paper looks at the contributions worker unions have made to ensuring prompt promotions for workers, the regular delivery of training programs for workers, and the extent to which effective labour unionism has ensured the prompt payment of pensions and gratuities to retirees in Nigeria. The study's theoretical framework was the pluralism theory by Flanders and Fox (1970). Secondary sources were used to collect the data. On the produced materials, contextual analyses were conducted. The results of the study showed that due to the difficult political environment in the nation, Nigeria has not had effective unionism over the years. Because of this, it is uncommon for employer support employee welfare programs like job security, prompt promotion with commensurate financial benefits, regular training programs, and pension and gratuity benefits to be provided. All of these have caused employees across Nigerian government institutions to experience hunger, poverty, and a lack of motivation to carry out their assigned duties. The researcher suggested that labour unions in Nigeria, among other things, should persuade government institutions to ensure adequate provision of workers welfare in order to improve the socioeconomic wellbeing of the workers and toward higher performance in the organizations; unions should seek redress in industrial court with regards to any infringement on the rights of any worker in Nigeria as this has produced results in the past.

Abstract

Abstract. Territorial fragmentation remains a major obstacle to national unity and sustainable development in multi-ethnic societies, especially in Nigeria, where ethnic, religious, and regional divides continue to weaken national integration. This study explores the potential of amalgamation as a solution to territorial disunity, focusing on the Nigerian experience. Adopting a historical research approach, the study draws from colonial archives, government documents, and scholarly literature to examine the historical formation of Nigeria, particularly the 1914 merger of the Northern and Southern Protectorates by British colonial powers. The research aims to determine whether amalgamation, as a political and administrative mechanism, can effectively resolve the persistent challenges associated with fragmentation in the country. The study was guided by the Structural Functionalism Theory, which highlights the necessity of coordinated interactions among various societal institutions to maintain stability and order. The findings indicated that although the 1914 amalgamation served colonial administrative purposes, it lacked critical components such as voluntary participation, cultural harmony, and fair governance structures. These deficiencies have contributed to deep-seated ethnic mistrust, marginalization, and ongoing calls for secession. The study concludes that amalgamation alone, without inclusive and equitable governance, is insufficient to address the problems of disunity. The study recommended, among others, the adoption of genuine federalism, which would grant regional units greater autonomy while maintaining a cohesive national framework. Such an arrangement would promote cooperation, minimize ethnic friction, and strengthen long-term national integration.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of sexual harassment on key work attitudes job satisfaction, employee commitment, and job engagement in tertiary educational institutions in Delta State, Nigeria. Utilizing both correlation and multiple regression analyses, the study consistently finds that sexual harassment negatively influences these work attitudes. Specifically, increased levels of sexual harassment correlate with decreased job satisfaction, lower employee commitment, and reduced job engagement among employees. These findings highlight the dual role of sexual harassment as both a violation of employee rights and a major barrier to employee productivity and well-being within academic institutions. The research underscores the particular concern regarding the negative effects of harassment on employee commitment and engagement. Employees who experience sexual harassment are more likely to feel disengaged from their work and less emotionally invested in their roles. This disengagement not only impacts individual morale but also threatens overall organizational performance, potentially undermining the academic environment and institutional success. The study advocates for a proactive approach in tertiary institutions to address sexual harassment, emphasizing the importance of creating a safer and more inclusive work environment that prioritizes the well-being of employees. In light of these findings, the study proposes several recommendations for tertiary institutions in Delta State, Nigeria, to mitigate the impact of sexual harassment. These include implementing comprehensive anti-harassment policies, conducting regular training and awareness programs, establishing safe and confidential reporting mechanisms, promoting organizational support for victims, and regularly monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of harassment prevention measures. By adopting these strategies, academic institutions can enhance employee satisfaction, commitment, and engagement, fostering a more positive and productive academic culture.

Abstract

This study examines the changing role of human resource managers in the 21st Century and the future of human resource management. There are an incredible number of pressures in today's organizations. To name a few: environmental pressures such as increasing globalization, rapid technological change, and tougher competition; organizational changes such as new organizational alliances, new structures and hierarchies, new ways of assigning work, and a very high rate of change; changes in the workforce, including employees' priorities, capabilities, and demographic characteristics.  HR managers were given extra duties as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, including ensuring that new regulations are followed, arranging for employees to work from home, redesigning the workspace to make it safer for both onsite staff and clients, and putting a greater emphasis on mental health issues among employees. The department of human resources has a vital role to play in assisting organizations in navigating through these transitions because of the pressures they face. But to fulfill this role, HR will need to add more perceived and actual value. This study concluded that the working environment may never be the same again as new situations arise and old ones are resolved, necessitating organizational-wide adjustments at the managerial and strategic levels. In order to guarantee that a proactive and effective approach is employed for present and future obstacles, HR department can successfully function as the link between staff members and higher management.

Abstract

Traditional gender roles state that women should prioritize caring for their families and maintaining their homes, while men should prioritize their work. The number of couples balancing two careers has steadily increased over the last few decades. Married women who work put in more hours taking care of their kids and taking care of the house than their working husbands. Traditional women's roles have changed over time, but they still reflect a one-way relationship between work and family. Women have a harder time juggling the demands of family and work. Women find it more difficult to give up their family responsibilities, even when they are employed. It is against this backdrop that this study examined the implications of work-family conflict for women at the workplace. This study is theoretical in nature and relied on context analysis. The study concluded that both work-family conflict and family-work conflict had positive relationships with job tension and the number of hours worked, and both types of conflict had negative relationships with organizational commitment, job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and turnover intention. The lack of sensitive, responsive, and consistent care from overworked parents or substitute providers can lead to decreased cognitive and social skills and can promote attachment insecurity in children, research is still unclear about the effects this time sacrifice may have on children. Therefore, flexibility in the workplace is necessary to reduce distress, including changes in appetite, aches and pains related to tension, and difficulty falling and staying asleep in women.

Abstract

The divide between individuals who were brought up with technological devices (digital natives) and those who possess not (digital immigrants) is getting wider as a result of the ongoing advancement of technological devices. However, this gap is present in the business sector today. As a result, this study investigates the traits and actions of digital natives in the business world. This study used an analytical approach, depending on secondary data and content analysis to interpret the data that was collected. According to the study's conclusion, businesses that recognise and value the potential of digital natives will be more competitive in the long run. In order to accomplish this, managers must interact with this generation using novel, frequently nuanced techniques and behaviours. This does not imply that everything businesses have done in past decades to attract as well as retain talent is no longer relevant. However, we must expand our toolkits and alter our work cultures and beliefs.
