Abstract

The paper assessed the fresh beef products consumer preference and consumption pattern in Jalingo Emirate communities of Nigeria. A sample of 300 respondents was drawn through random sampling method, and analysed by the use of descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. Findings showed that majority of the fresh beef consumers were males within the age range of 20-50 years, and mostly singles. A larger proportion (49.00%) of the beef consumers had secondary school certificates. Occupationally, 34.00% of the respondents were traders earning between N21,000 and N70,000 only. Majority (77.33%) of the respondents consumed less than 2.00kg of beef monthly in the area. Most (74.00%) of the beef consumers eat the commodity at home with 40.00% of them consuming it 1-3 times weekly. The major determinants of fresh beef and its products consumption were age, monthly expenditure on substitutes, monthly income, price of beef, frequency of consumption and gender. The most experienced challenges for the beef consumers include outrageous cost of beef, unhygienic method of preparation and unwholesomeness of the beef. Institutions intending to minimise these constraints should assiduously work toward resolving these raised issues in the communities of the Emirate.

Abstract

This study assesses the impact of technology integration in human resource management HRM on public sector performance in Kaduna State, using New Public Management (NPM) theory as its theoretical framework. Primary and secondary data were collected from staff of five selected MDAs, with a Sample size of 260 drawn from a population of 770 using purposive sampling. Data were gathered through questionnaire and interviews, and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS. The data source ensured the generation of comprehensive and reliable information. The questionnaires were administered using a 5-point Likert scale. Interviews with some relevant stakeholders provided deeper insights, complementing the quantitative data.  Data from the questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics via SPSS. The findings reveal that the integration of technology in human resource management has a significant positive impact on public sector performance in Kaduna State. The study concludes that technology-driven human resource management practices enhance public sector effectiveness and recommends expanding digital human resource applications, particularly in performance appraisal and performance-linked incentives, to motivate further and improve outcomes.
