Abstract

Youth entrepreneurial engagements have become increasingly vital in addressing economic challenges and unemployment issues in many parts of Nigeria. While studies have examined different predictors of entrepreneurial engagements with varied results, studies linking risk tolerance directly to entrepreneurial engagements among youth samples are lacking. Therefore, this study examines the predictive role of risk tolerance on entrepreneurial engagement among youth samples in Rivers State, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study population. Data were collected from 219 youths using validated questionnaires and analyzed using simple linear regression to test one hypothesis that was accepted at p < .001 level of significance level. The result demonstrates significant influence of risk tolerance on entrepreneurial engagement among study participants, R2 =.411, F (1,218) = 42.96, p <.001. In addition, the result reveals that risk tolerance independently predicts entrepreneurial engagement among study participants (β = .622, p <.001). The study concludes that risk tolerance is an important predictor of entrepreneurial engagement among youth samples. The study recommends that government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and higher institutions should design and implement entrepreneurship development programs that would explicitly enhance risk tolerance among the youth population.

Abstract

Road traffic accidents have remained a major global concern due to their devastating social and economic effects on the individuals, families, society and the nation. While studies have addressed the non-human factors as the cause of road traffic accidents, studies addressing the human factors seem sketchy. Therefore, this study examines the predictive role of reckless driving on road traffic accidents among commercial drivers in Obio/Akpor in Rivers State, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study population. Two validated questionnaires were used to collect data from 238 participants and analyzed using simple linear regression to test a hypothesis which was accepted at p<.001 level of significance. The result demonstrated that reckless driving significantly correlated with road traffic accidents among study participants, R2 =.570, F (1,236) = 270.614, p <.001. Furthermore, reckless driving significantly predicted road traffic accidents among commercial drivers (β = .755, p<.001). The study concludes that reckless driving significantly contributed to road traffic accidents among study participants. The study recommends all stakeholders should take proactive measures to checkmate reckless driving among commercial drivers to reduce road traffic accidents.
