The Agency Theory was extensively covered in this study. The investigation used secondary data from books and articles that had already been published. Despite objections, changes in the government, and reservations from some sections of the public, the agency theory has proven to be a useful paradigm in enhancing public accountability and improving the delivery of public services. Local government councils in Delta State may benefit from applying agency theory, which can enhance the provision of public services, employee performance, administrative accountability in the public sector, and public confidence in elected officials. The majority of public administration research reflects agent theory-related presumptions that support public administrators' capacity for learning and effectiveness. As a result of the aforementioned, it is crucial for Delta State's local government council leaders to strictly adhere to accountability in the management of local government affairs in order to encourage quality service delivery. The study comes to the conclusion that in Nigerian public administration, administrative accountability is a crucial but underdeveloped concept. The phrase is freely used by academics and professionals to refer to accountability for one's actions or behavior. Administrators and organizations are responsible in the sense that they must account for their actions. Beyond this fundamental idea of answerability, the term has not undergone much development in Delta State's local government councils.

The new strategy for public management has given rise to a shift in human resource planning. The purpose of the study is to assess how the new public management approach's theoretical modifications have affected its practical applications, particularly in the area of human resource planning. The main goal of this study was to ascertain how the New Public Management approach has affected human resource planning in Delta State Hospital Management Board, Asaba. Convenience sampling and a cross-sectional research design were used. For this study, a questionnaire was used as the research tool for data collection, and 109 respondents were deemed useful. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 23.0 was used to perform inferential statistics of correlation and multiple regression analysis on the collected data. The study's findings demonstrated a favorable and significant correlation between new public management and human resource planning and a high-performance culture. The study also showed that the New Public Management approach had a direct impact on the culture of high commitment and performance and human resource planning. The study makes several recommendations, including that the Delta State Hospital Management Board and other related public sector organizations work on clearly outlined HR policies that can form the cornerstone of an institutional framework to ensure the efficient application of HRP policies. Additionally, they should implement New Public Management processes that include human resource planning scope and allocate more funds for the capacity building and professional growth of the resources in order to provide need-based training to their staff. The study is unique in two ways. First, while there are numerous studies that describe the traditional approach to public management in the literature, this study offers a critical viewpoint on it. Second, no other studies in Nigeria have looked into the connection between the new public management approach and human resource planning; the study is a leader in the field in this regard.

Understanding the potential uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in the human resource management (HRM) field is the aim of this research, which draws from a number of previous studies. This paper investigates the application of artificial intelligence in the field of HRM based on the core concepts of HRM theory. The literature review for this study employs the narrative methodology. We have deliberately decided not to use a methodical approach for the review of literature because it requires specific research questions that we believe are outside the scope of this study. The study concludes that, human resource techniques and staff relationship management remain in the phase of experimentation, AI has a significant and positive impact on four aspects of HRM theory: hiring, training and development of staff, managing staff productivity, and staff salary evaluation. Even though AI is widely used, there are still issues with data identification, impartial data creation, and staff happiness that need to be taken into consideration. This demonstrated how various AI applications are used in HR; government agencies, for instance, use the Oracle programme for hiring. Additionally, the study has supported a few noteworthy gaps in the literature that allow for a wide range of additional research. We think filling in the gaps will steer the field in the right direction when it comes to implementing AI in the field of human resources management.

In addition to being a crucial part of strategic human resource management, career support also serves as a tool for achieving organizational objectives. This study evaluates the impact of career support on workers' ability to perform. Most businesses in Nigeria are currently dealing with issues related to employee performance; this illustrates a significant challenge in the country's business environment. A qualitative research design was used for this study. To investigate the impact of career support on employees' performance, exploratory research based solely on findings from the analysis of the existing literature of various studies, periodicals, reports, and books relevant to the topic of study was employed. According to the findings of this study, career support is a crucial management tool that could be used in Nigeria to raise and improve employee performance. This implies that organizations in Nigeria may decline employee performance if career support issues are not taken seriously. The study concludes that an organization's career support initiatives directly impact how well its employees perform. The ability of employees to perform well is significantly positively correlated with career support. The study suggests, among other things, that organizations continue to treat career support very seriously to boost workers' productivity.

This study examined the role of public administration in combating corruption in Nigeria, emphasizing the contributions of anti-corruption agencies. Adopting a historical study approach, the study traced the development and influence of key agencies, including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). The Institutional Theory was used to analyze the relationship between administrative frameworks and anti-corruption efforts. The study provides unique insights into the effectiveness of anti-corruption agencies, highlighting their achievements and the constraints they face, including limited resources and political challenges. The findings indicated that although these agencies have achieved significant progress, they face challenges such as political interference, insufficient institutional capacity, and poor coordination, which limit their effectiveness. The study concluded that public administration is essential in this fight, but more extensive reforms are necessary to enhance the strength and independence of these agencies. The study recommended the creation of an independent body to oversee the performance of anti-corruption agencies and ensure improved accountability in their operations. The study's practical contribution is found in its policy suggestions for enhancing anti-corruption frameworks. In contrast, its theoretical contribution adds depth to the discussion on institutional integrity and governance in societies prone to corruption.

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.

The most important and valuable organizational and institutional resource in both public and private services is the employee. This is primarily because, without the employee commitment, all other resources will be dormant. Against this backdrop, this study examined the impact of the reward systems on employee commitment in the Delta State Civil Service Commission, Asaba using useful primary and secondary data sources. We discovered that intrinsic and extrinsic rewards have a significant impact on employee commitment in the Delta State Civil Service Commission, Asaba. This finding is significant because it shows that the only way to engineer the civil service to play its crucially essential and facilitating role in the State's political and socioeconomic development is through the creation and secured intrinsic and extrinsic reward systems that are systematically planned and scientifically implemented. The study concluded that the Delta State Civil Service Commission, Asaba needs both intrinsic and extrinsic reward systems to foster greater employee commitment. Based on this finding, we recommended among others that Delta State Civil Service Commission's reward systems should be subject to modification to suit social conditions or changing circumstances in the society. This underscores the fundamental logic underpinning the many international initiatives launched by multinational corporations in Nigeria to promote organizational effectiveness, which assumes that management will pursue employees’ happiness voluntarily in the absence of robust organizational regulations and strict enforcement.
