Abstract

Purpose: This study is aimed to examine the effect of rural infrastructure on smallholders’ crop input market participation with reference to Jimma zone. Research methodology: Censored Tobit approach was employed to model relationships between the degree of household market participation from input side and rural infrastructures. Results: Distance to the nearest all-weather-road from the farm area was found important. Moreover, provision of rural credit, communication and rural market services was found to significantly foster smallholder commercialization. Unfortunately, we estimated trivial coefficient for agricultural extension. Limitation: This study is limited to a year data, where we are unable to estimate the long term impact of rural infrastructural service on rural commercialization. Contribution: Various inadequacies in the provision of services may likely be involved. The right approach for the future should consider efficiency as well as the adequacy of the services being provided. It would be better to provide smallholders with the necessary infrastructures to ensure growth as well as the transformational targets. Besides, interventions intensifying rural access to information are vital. Keywords: Censored Tobit, Commercialization, Crop input Market index, Infrastructure, Smallholder

By one way-ANOVA to analyze technical data on this research. Results: There is no significant difference in the average financial performance in the form of effectiveness ratios, efficiency ratios, expenditure balance ratios, and government financial growth ratios of Bandar Lampung in two major periods. However, this research finds there is a significant difference in the average of social welfare as measured by the Human Development Index (HDI) and Gross Regional Domestic Product (GDP) of Bandar Lampung city in two major periods. This means that the Bandar Lampung City Government has not been able to properly maintain and increase its growth. Limitations: This research took a sample in this study only Bandar Lampung city, while in Lampung province there are 15 regencies/cities, and this research in conducting disparate tests using the Anova test. This research would be better if using more samples and using another test.

Abstract

Purpose: This paper aims at examining how principal leadership styles are associated with leadership outcomes in an Indonesian school context. Research Methodology: Survey data were collected using MLQ 5X-Short and a demographic questionnaire completed by 475 teachers in 36 junior high schools in the Province of Lampung, Indonesia. With the help of SPSS version 22, the collected data were initially analyzed using descriptive statistics and then Pearson product-moment correlation. Results: Results show that transformational and transactional leadership styles are positively and significantly associated with the leadership outcomes, but the laissez-faire leadership style is negatively and significantly associated with the leadership outcomes. Limitations: This paper used a quantitative research approach and is acknowledged for being limited to using the survey questionnaire so that it could not explain why and how principal leadership styles affect such leadership outcomes. Contribution: This paper theoretically and practically contributes to the body of knowledge, particularly concerning leadership styles and their outcomes.

Abstract

Purpose: The research assesses the interest rates-inflation association in the case of Ghana between 2007 and 2013. Monthly and quarterly data were used. Research Methodology: The model of the vector error correction and Johansen were used to investigate the long-term and short-term association in the model estimated respectively. The vector autoregression (VAR) test was used to model the joint dynamics between the variables. GRETL software was used in these tests. Granger predictive test was done with the EViews software. Results: The findings of the result confirm both long-run and a short-run association in the model and as well as neutral granger predictive causality. Limitations: Though the Johansen test is more appropriate for multivariate modelling, Engle-Granger test is considered to be more robust in most cases and as such future studies should consider using the two models in a comparative study to assess whether the current conclusions can collaborate. Contribution: The paper contributes to knowledge in the field of inflation and Interest rates association, in relation to the financial markets. Future Research models that account for structural breaks and panel works are worth doing. Keywords: Fisher effect, Treasury bill rates long run, Johansen model

Abstract

Purpose: Establish whether the industry biological asset fair valuing challenges are country-specific or agricultural-sector specific. Determine how the inputs and challenges experienced by the valuers relate to the industry challenges. Research Methodology: Descriptive, qualitative conceptual content analysis of financial reports of 50 listed organizations across 10 countries from 2012 to 2015; with relational content analysis through in-person interviews with 24 biological asset valuers. Results: This paper contradicts prior research as no correlation was identified between large agricultural organizations and the extent of biological asset disclosures. The biological asset valuation and disclosure challenges are not country-specific or agricultural-sector-specific and the inconsistency in factors applied by the valuers appears to impact the industry challenges directly. Limitations: As biological assets are only held by agricultural organizations of which not all fair value the assets to report thereon – limiting the number of interviews to 24. Data collected via the interviews represent the challenges and valuation considerations of the individuals and their exposure to biological asset valuations. Contribution: This research analyzed and categorised the biological asset valuation challenges to determine whether it is country-specific and/or unique to an agricultural sector. The input factors and challenges experienced by the valuers in relation to the reporting challenges allow a relational analysis of the industry challenges. Keywords: Biological asset valuation, Decision-enhancing disclosures, Fair value accounting, Users of financial statements, Valuation elements

Abstract

Purpose: The study investigates the impacts stemming from the interplay between episodic, dispositional and systemic power circuits through which organisational agents influence or transform the coercive and enabling aspects ingrained in the performance appraisal process in a university setting. Research methodology: The paper uses a single case study method based on a private university. Data was collected using interviews, documentary evidence and observations. Results: We found that coercive controls become dominance over enabling controls of performance appraisal as an outcome of the ongoing implicit struggle between internal agents who pursue diverse interests and power relations in the private university setting. Limitations: As the research is directed towards the selection of in-depth inquiry of specific setting infused with culture, values, and ideology, it might cause to diminish the researcher’s analytical objectivity and independence of the research. Contribution: The study suggests that the realizing of power remained with the agent’s discretion within day-to-day interrelations. Therefore, the agents’ power relations are significant in deciding the intensity of dual controls in the performance appraisal practice. Keywords: Performance appraisal, Power circuits, Enabling controls, Coercive controls, University

Abstract

Purpose: The study examined the influence of various corporate governance structures such as board size, board independence, board gender diversity and CEO duality on the financial performance of rural banks in Ghana. Research methodology: The study collected secondary data from the annual report of 30 rural banks for a 10-year period spanning 2010 to 2019. The data was coded into excel and exported into STATA where descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis were adopted to answer the research questions. Results: The result shows that there was a positive but statistically insignificant association between CEO duality and ROA and ROE. The study further reveals a positive association between board size and ROA and ROE even though that of ROA was statistically insignificant. Also, board independence was found to be a significant determinant of rural bank financial performance In addition to the above, the study reported a negative association between gender diversity on the boards of the rural bank and ROA and ROE and both associations were statistically significant. Limitations: As a result of the lack of publicly available data on rural banks in Ghana, the study relied on only 30 out of the over 100 rural banks currently operating across the country. Contribution: The result of the study will help the Bank of Ghana and the ARB Apex Bank in their formulation of an appropriate corporate governance framework for rural banks in Ghana and enlighten managers of rural banks on corporate governance structures that enhance their financial performance in Ghana.
