Abstract

Background: Digital resources have become pivotal in enhancing teaching and learning, particularly in entrepreneurship education. In Nigeria, integrating such resources into Business Education programs is crucial for equipping students with relevant entrepreneurial skills. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the availability and utilization of digital resources for entrepreneurship skills acquisition among final-year Business Education students in Colleges of Education in Anambra State, Nigeria. Method: A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 80 final-year students via Google Survey. The questionnaire addressed digital resource availability, usage patterns, and challenges. Hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to examine gender differences and the effect of digital resource availability on skill acquisition. Result: Findings revealed that while e-books and online platforms are accessible and integrated into the program, significant challenges remain. These include limited access to high-quality digital materials and persistent issues with internet connectivity, which hinder effective utilization. Conclusion: The study highlights a partially effective integration of digital resources into Business Education programs. To enhance entrepreneurship skill acquisition, it is essential to overcome the identified barriers. Contribution: This study contributes to the discourse on digital education in Nigeria by identifying critical gaps in digital resource availability and utilization. It provides actionable insights for policymakers, educators, and administrators aiming to strengthen entrepreneurship training through improved digital infrastructure and resource access.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of sit-at-home on the business survival of foam manufacturing firms in Anambra State, Nigeria. The sit-at-home directive, predominantly observed in Southeast Nigeria, has disrupted economic activities, particularly in the manufacturing sector. The study focused on three core variables movement restriction, fear of violence, and loss of production time, and how they influence business survival. A descriptive survey design was adopted, and data were collected from 150 top-level management staff drawn from 12 foam manufacturing firms across the three senatorial zones of the state. A stratified random sampling technique was used, and data analysis was conducted using linear regression in SPSS. The findings revealed that all three independent variables had significant negative effects on business survival. Movement restriction was found to have a t-value of 10.606, standardized beta (β) = 0.631, and p-value = 0.000, indicating a moderately strong effect. Fear of violence had a t-value of 12.002, β = 0.674, and p = 0.000, suggesting a stronger relationship between security concerns and reduced business sustainability. The most influential factor, loss of production time, recorded a t-value of 13.043, β = 0.702, and p = 0.000, showing that operational downtime has the most critical impact on business survival. The study concludes that sit-at-home orders pose a serious threat to foam manufacturing firms in Anambra State. It recommends enhanced mobility for essential workers, community-based security systems, and flexible production scheduling to mitigate the adverse effects of sit-at-home directives on business survival.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between internal communication and employee engagement at First Bank PLC in Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria. The study was guided by three specific objectives: to examine the relationship between feedback mechanism and employee engagement, to assess the relationship between message clarity and employee engagement, and to evaluate the relationship between communication climate and employee engagement. Anchored on the Communication Satisfaction Theory by Downs and Hazen (1977), the study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population consisted of 200 staff across various First Bank branches in Onitsha, and a census sampling technique was used to include the entire population. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation at a 0.05 level of significance.The findings revealed a significant and positive relationship between feedback mechanism and employee engagement (r = 0.473, p < 0.05), message clarity and employee engagement (r = 0.390, p < 0.05), as well as communication climate and employee engagement (r = 0.401, p < 0.05). These results suggest that internal communication components significantly influence how engaged employees feel in their roles. The study concluded that robust internal communication systems enhance employee morale, motivation, and commitment. It was recommended that First Bank PLC strengthen its feedback systems, promote message clarity, and foster a positive communication climate to drive employee engagement. The study fills a knowledge gap in internal communication and employee engagement research in the Nigerian banking sector, particularly within a geographically and organizationally defined context
