Abstract

Every business aims to succeed in the competitive environment by injecting various customer attraction and retention mechanisms into the workplace. However, the hospitality sector requires managers to be proactive in delivering prompt services that would motivate them to come back after the first experience. To achieve this objective, employee work attitude behaviour must be considered.  It was this problem that prompted the researchers of this study to examine the predictability of employee work attitude on the effectiveness of hospitality firms operating in Nigeria's work setting. Middle-line managers, supervisors, and low-level employees constitute the sample frame. To avoid bias in selection, simple random was used. Copies of the primary instrument were used to collect data. Frequency distribution was used to analyse respondents’ data while the research propositions were analysed with linear regression with the aid of IBM SPSS statistical software version 25. The finding of the study showed that employee work attitude has a positive significant effect on organisational effectiveness. The study concluded that employee work attitude measured in terms of job satisfaction and job involvement enhances and improves organisational effectiveness of hospitality firms in Nigeria through prompt service delivery and customer satisfaction. The implication of the study is that; supervisors, operations managers, and HR managers should pay positive attention to the attitude of their employees to discourage employee turnover that could lead to customer withdrawal.

Abstract

This study examines the mitigation of the African economic crisis through financial inclusion. The paper undertakes a comprehensive exploration of the African economic landscape, navigating through historical intricacies, structural challenges, and global influences. Grounded in a quantitative methodology, the study adopted the survey method to systematically unravel the multifaceted dimensions of the economic crisis and financial inclusion in Africa. The study was anchored on both Monetarist and Keynesian models. Monetary and Keynesian financial theories were made suitable because both focus on strategies for addressing economic instability even though they take distinct approaches to solving economic issues. A sample size of 350 participants was studied, using a purposive sampling technique. The data from the returned questionnaires were selected, collated, and analyzed using tables and percentage computation. The historical overview uncovers the persistent impact of colonization and post-independence struggles, shaping the structural issues that underpin the economic challenges faced by African nations. The analysis extends to the intricate dance of global economic dynamics, examining the interplay of trade relations, the imbalance of financial services, and the complexities of the interconnected global economy. Findings indicate that financial services and products are insufficient in Africa. The study discovered that cultural, technological, and regulatory limits all significantly contribute to the economic crisis, which is evidenced by the high rate of currency devaluation in Africa, high rates of inflation in the price of goods, and economic downturns. Thus, the paper recommends that; fin-tech companies, appropriate technology applications, and advancements in online payments could potentially save this predicament. The paper further recommends that; the government should enact regulatory changes that lower entrance barriers for financial institutions, support innovation, and safeguard consumers to advance financial inclusion.
