Abstract

Purpose: The study examines the link between indigenous entrepreneurial behaviour and local economic development of Otueke community. The specific objectives were to examine the extent to which indigenes in Otuoke are exploiting their entrepreneurial environment; ascertain the factors militating against the involvement of indigenes of Otuoke from capitalizing on their entrepreneurial environment; examine how indigenous entrepreneurship behaviour leads to sustainable socio-economic development. Design/methodology/approach: The study adopted cross sectional survey design. The study employed a census of 200 entrepreneurial firms in Otuoke community. The data for the study were collected through the distribution of structured questionnaire. The data collected were analysed using percentage and frequency distribution, mean and standard deviation and Chi-Square test of significance. Findings: The results indicated that there was a significant difference between indigenes and non-indigenes with regards to entrepreneurship. The second finding demonstrated that inaccessibility to finance and ignorance among others act as impediments to indigenes from taking advantage of their environment. Further, the result indicated that entrepreneurship behaviour contributed to socio-economic development of the local community. Practical implications: In line with the findings, we recommended among others that relevant agencies of government should fashion out community-based entrepreneurial policy regimes to support local communities and rural indigenous entrepreneurship to foster sustainable socio-economic development.

Abstract

Purpose: The study draws on the social network theory to examine the influence of interpersonal relations on the task performance at the individual employee, team and divisional levels in the Nigerian Police Force. Design/methodology/approach: The study adopted a cross sectional survey design and a sample of 556 police men was selected through the application of multi-stage sampling procedures. The data collection instrument was designed in line with the 5-point Likert scale while the instrument was validated through content validity approach and the reliability of the instrument is determined using the test-retest method. Findings: Data were collected through the self-report of the policemen while analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, run mean test and Chi-square test and the results indicated that interpersonal relations influence employee, team and divisional task performance in the Nigerian Police Force. Practical implications: We recommended that instrumental ties and social communities in the fabric of the Nigerian Police Force should be promoted to further advance the critical roles of crime fighting and prevention with a view to reducing criminality in Nigeria. Originality/value: To the best of the authors' knowledge, this research is original and adds new value to the field by being the first of its kind. Paper type: Research paper
