Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to determine the effect of bank lending channel on household consumption expenditure in Nigeria. The influence of the channel as a transmission route to household consumption has not been relatively investigated in many developing nations like Nigeria. In view of this, the aim of the study is achieved using the non-linear econometric approach such as the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) on annual secondary data obtained from the United Nations Statistical Division Database and Central Bank of Nigeria Database. The study found that lending rates in maximum and prime are significantly affect real household consumption expenditure in Nigeria. In addition, evidence from the study suggest that growth rate of the per capita income and changes in the domestic prices of nominal output significantly affect the response variable The study discussed the implications of the study for the bank lending channel with policy recommendations.

Abstract

Introduction: Understanding how much a country’s health system spends on infrastructure, machinery, and types of equipment is crucial for policymaking and analysis. Although health systems continue to be labor-intensive, capital has been increasingly important in producing health services in recent decades. Considering the growing importance of diagnostic and therapeutic types of equipment, as well as the recent rise of information, computers, and technology in healthcare services being capital intensive, hence, it is imperative to determine the impacts of capital formation on health outcomes in middle-income countries. Methods: The study used the World Bank rating, from 2000 to 2023. The system generalized method of moments (SGMM) was adopted to account for endogeneity. The World Development Indicators (WDI), and World Governance Indicators (WGI) data were used. The model's validity was assessed using the AR (1) and the AR (2) tests, while the instrumental variables were validated using Sargan and Hansen tests.  Inferences were drawn using a 5% threshold of significance. Results: Results showed that capital formation confirmed a crowd-out relationship between morbidity rates and crude death, while life expectancy has a positive relationship with capital formation in middle-income countries. Life expectancy has a positive relationship and is statistically significant at a 5% level. Conclusion and suggestion: Therefore, the study recommended that middle-income countries must generate savings and investments through individual savings or government policy to improve their healthcare system since countries with a high level of household savings can accumulate funds and produce capital goods faster.

Abstract

This paper examined the effect of employee engagement on marketing strategy amongst service firms in Ogun State, Nigeria. The targeted population for the study consists of marketing managers, HR heads, and senior managers. Building on Khan's (1990) theory of employee engagement, three dimensions - employee empowerment [Emp_E], employee advocacy [Emp_A], and employee knowledge [Emp_K] - were used to profile employee engagement. Cochran's (1997) finite sample size determination was adopted. Using a simple random technique, electronic closed-ended questionnaires were administered to solicit responses from 333 respondents. The line of best fit model was analyzed with standardized multiple regression analysis (SMRA). Findings revealed that the predictor constructs (Emp_E, Emp_A, and Emp_K) explained 72.9% of the outcome construct (Mkt_S) such that adjusted R2 = .729, F(3, 301) = 273.901, p < 0.001. However, an independent analysis of the predictor constructs revealed that only Emp_E (β1= .613, p <0.001) and Emp_K (β3= .432, p <0.001) have a significant positive relationship with Mkt_S. Evidence shows that Emp_A (β2 = 0.089, p = 0.079) has a positive relationship, but it does not make a statistically significant contribution to the marketing strategy. This insignificant contribution may be due to existing literature which argues that Emp_A is a form of organizational citizenship behaviour which is not directly called on or explicitly rewarded by organizations. Overall, since the regression line is statistically significant, this study submits that there is a significant positive relationship between employee engagement and marketing strategy. This study contributes in two ways. First, it expands Kahn’s theory of employee engagement. Second, it informs marketing managers / HR heads on the importance of designing an inclusive employee growth-oriented program that will facilitate the successful implementation of the marketing strategy. The study recommends that service firms need a strong understanding of key drivers or underlying mechanisms that can facilitate advocacy behaviours in employees. This study used a cross-sectional data approach, which may have biased the results. Hence, the identification of future areas of research has been highlighted.
