Abstract

Personal remittances an important source of external finance to many households and countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have been hampered by cost of transfers of these funds, amidst advancement in digital technologies. This study examines the combined effect of remittance inflow and digital technology on human development index in Sub-Saharan Africa. The study employed the conditional panel quantile regression methods and a panel data of forty-five (45) SSA countries covering the period 2010 to 2022 for data analysis. The findings of this study revealed that the effect of remittance and digital technology on human development index varies across SSA countries with base on their human development index (HDI) level. The study also found that the interaction effect of remittance and digital technology on human development index has noticeable variations across the lower HDI (25th quantile), middle HDI (50th quantile) and higher HDI (75th quantile) levels. These effects of remittance and digital technology on human development index together their interaction is higher for countries at the middle HDI level (50th quantile). The study therefore recommends that to boost personal remittance inflow from abroad for improvement in human development index amidst advancement in digital technologies, Sub-Saharan African countries should introduce consumer oriented digital platforms for remittance services which should be adequately protected. The study therefore, concludes that as remittances from abroad are becoming major sources of foreign financial inflows, harnessing the drivers of these remittance inflows is vital for improvement in the human development index in SSA.

Abstract

Leadership styles are widely acknowledged as a fundamental factor in determining organizational success, influencing the performance of employees and the overall organizational culture. How leaders manage their teams can greatly impact employee attitudes, motivation, and behaviours, affecting productivity, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. Using an online survey, this quantitative study employed data collected from 373 staff members at a Manufacturing Company in Southeast Nigeria. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Correlation and regression analyzes were conducted to test the relationship and impact among the variables. The findings highlighted the positive influence of democratic, transactional, autocratic, and transformational leadership on employee attitude. Furthermore, significant values were obtained for the correlation and effect between the constructs (p < 0.05). Therefore, adopting a multiple approach is recommended in leadership, rather than a singular style when dealing with employees in an organization.

Abstract

This study attempted to deepen the understanding of how social, economic, and demographic factors affect subjective well-being through the Panel ordered probit method from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 4 and 5. Subjective well-being has emerged as an important indicator of quality of life. Subjective well-being is important for individuals because it reflects the level of happiness and life satisfaction that affects various aspects of life. The research method used is quantitative. Data collection and analysis in this study were conducted through econometric modeling. This research utilizes panel data analyzed using the Panel Ordered Probit Method with the help of STATA 17 software. The results showed that higher education levels increased the likelihood of a person feeling “Very Happy”. In addition to education and age, control variables such as employment status, marital status, and residential location also show a significant influence on happiness; individuals who are employed have a 2.59% higher probability of feeling “Very Happy”, while those who are married tend to be happier and less likely to feel “Unhappy” or “Very Unhappy”. Location of residence was also influential, with individuals living in urban areas 0.97% more likely to feel “Very Happy” compared to those living in rural areas. Overall, the results confirm that education, employment status, social relationships through marital status, and neighborhood are important factors in influencing subjective well-being, emphasizing the importance of investing in education and policies that promote work-life balance and social relationships to improve people's well-being.

Abstract

Numerous studies on audit quality have been conducted, and one of the factors influencing audit quality is audit fees. This study employs a meta-analysis method with a correlation approach to examine the relationship between audit fees and audit quality. The author reviewed 100 journals relevant to the topic of audit fees and audit quality over the past five years, utilizing Publish or Perish. These journals were selected based on specific eligibility criteria and analyzed using JASP software. The results indicate a z-value of 8.029 and a p-value < 0.001, which is smaller than the 5% (0.05) significance level. This finding demonstrates a significant positive correlation between audit fees and audit quality, although the effect size is relatively low (rRE = 0.211). Therefore, while audit fees are positively and significantly associated with audit quality, the strength of the correlation remains low. Based on these findings, the researcher recommends that companies consider paying higher audit fees to enhance the quality of audits obtained.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of leadership style and compensation on teacher performance at SMA Tahfidz Al Amien. The study employs a quantitative approach with a causal explanatory design. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire distributed to all 32 teachers at the school, selected through saturated sampling. Each variable was measured using multiple indicators assessed on a Likert scale. The research instrument was validated and tested for reliability, confirming that all items were valid and reliable. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with SPSS software version 16. The results show that leadership style and compensation simultaneously influence teacher performance, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.507. This indicates that the two independent variables together explain 50.7% of the variance in teacher performance. The regression results also reveal that leadership style has a significant but negative effect on teacher performance, while compensation has a significant and stronger positive effect. The findings of this study suggest that compensation contributes more significantly to improving teacher performance than leadership style. These results highlight the importance of compensation as a motivational factor and point to the need for leadership approaches that better align with teacher expectations and performance goals.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of work motivation and work environment on employee performance within organizational contexts. The research focuses on CV Elsa Cahya in Gresik, involving all 30 employees as respondents through a saturated sampling technique. A quantitative approach was adopted, and data were gathered using structured questionnaires, interviews, and observations. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, which included descriptive analysis, instrument validity and reliability testing, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that both work motivation and work environment positively affect employee performance. However, only the work environment variable was statistically significant in the partial test, with a standardized beta coefficient of 0.827, making it the dominant factor compared to work motivation. The F-test indicates that the combination of both variables significantly explains 78.5% of the variance in employee performance. The regression analysis reveals that improvements in the work environment yield greater gains in performance compared to work motivation alone. The findings of this study suggest that the quality of the work environment plays a crucial role in enhancing employee productivity, making it a key consideration for organizational development and human resource strategies.
