Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has put many organizations under pressure to remain active and profitable despite the compulsory long break it gave everyone. There is growing concern that many employees are under pressure to be present at work to fulfil job demands that were not met at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. This situation has given rise to presenteeism, where workers do not work to their maximum potential. Several theories account for the reasoning behind presenteeism. This paper examines the job demands-resources theory of presenteeism related to the causes and remedial measures that can be put in place in coping with the consequences of presenteeism in any given organisation. Secondary data sources were adopted for this study. The data collected were analysed based on the research questions and presented thematically. The findings reveal that most organizations continue to increase the workload without the required resources necessary to accomplish the job demands. The study recommends that those at the helm of affairs should note the job demands assigned to their employees and make available all the resources to attend to the job demands in order to achieve the overall good of the organization even in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Migration has created a strong connection between Nigeria and the UK because of their historical ties rooted in colonialism. Following the UK’s departure from the EU, the significance of migration has become even greater, as the two nations have used it as a diplomatic tool. This paper investigates the importance of migration as a diplomatic instrument in Nigeria’s relations with the UK following the UK’s exit from the EU. The study employed a qualitative research design. The analysis reveals that changes to the British immigration system have created opportunities for Nigerian migrants, while demonstrating the UK’s desire to maintain control over its borders and the labor market. The findings indicate that migration has become a significant instrument of international diplomacy, as both parties have developed official procedures for handling immigration issues under the Migration Partnership and the Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership agreements. The conclusion of this study shows that although both agreements link migration to a development framework, asymmetrical relations remain evident, thereby constraining Nigeria’s negotiating capacity.
