<![CDATA[Purpose: This study determined workplace bullying and how it affects employees' performance, while it specifically examined workplace aggression and how it relates to the occupational stress of workers in the selected manufacturing firms in Anambra State. Research Methodology: The study made use of a survey research design. The population consisted of 167 staff of 10 selected manufacturing and made use of the census method in sampling. The data collection instrument was a Likert-structured questionnaire which was subjected to both validity and reliability tests. Data analysis was done using simple regression and the hypothesis was tested at a 5% level of significance. Result: The finding revealed that a positive relationship exists between workplace aggression and occupational stress and that a 90% change in occupational stress is a result of changes in workplace aggression (R = .904; R2 = 898; F statistics = 7097.588; p-value < .05). Limitation: The study made use of just 10 manufacturing firms which might reduce the inferrability of the work. Contribution: The study provided empirical evidence as to the relationship between workplace aggression and occupational stress in manufacturing firms in Anambra State which appear not to have been done before. Novelty: The study made use of a self-structured questionnaire that took into consideration the operational environment of the firms and the characteristics of the employees and work relationships.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose: The current study is the outcome of a thorough evaluation of the literature on functionalism in human resource management as it relates to organizational performance. It examines the role of human resource management and looks into various issues with human resource management in firms in such situations. Research Methodology: The theoretical underpinnings are accomplished through a systematic review and subsequent thematic content analysis of literature, including reports from published literature and research papers that have been published. These were critically examined, and the best matching documents were then carefully chosen for inclusion to reach a conclusion. Result: The result emphasizes the necessity for human resource management managers to implement cutting-edge strategies for faculty and staff empowerment so they may traverse the fast-changing environment and perform to their full potential against the odds. To engage stakeholders in amicably avoiding recalcitrance, a conceptual qualitative framework is established and recommended for the functionalism of tailored human resource management. This approach can help managers of human resources find opportunities during this crisis and help them come to significant conclusions about how to address issues and create a positive culture. Limitation: Risks of bias such as selection bias, insufficient blinding, attrition bias, and selective outcome reporting may be among the limitations. Future Implications: By working together to overcome predicted difficulties, this framework can help an educational leader manage stakeholders' expectations and benefit academics and practitioners alike. Novelty: Research novelty was a brand-new concept that might result in new knowledge or contribute to already-existing knowledge.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose: This study examined the effect of intellectual capital on the financial performance of quoted manufacturing firms on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). The study specifically evaluated the effect of the value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) on Asset Turnover (ATR), Gross Profit Margin (GPM) and Return on Assets (ROA) from 2011 to 2019. Research Methodology: The research design used in the study is ex post facto. Non-probability sampling was the method of sampling that was employed in the investigation. Twenty (20) consumer products manufacturing companies that had been listed on the NSE for nine years made up the final sample. In earlier investigations, this was deemed sufficient for regression analysis. The analysis makes use of secondary data taken from the companies’ annual reports. The information spanned a nine-year span, from 2011 to 2019. Result: There is a non-significant negative effect of value added intellectual coefficient on the Asset Turnover Rate (ATR) of quoted manufacturing firms; however, there is a non-significant positive effect of VAIC on Gross Profit Margin (GPM) and Return on Assets (ROA) of quoted manufacturing firms. Limitation: The main limitation is the duration of time the study was conducted and the delisting of some firms during the period. Contribution: The research adds to the body of knowledge about developing nations, on the nexus of VAIC and financial performance. It reiterates the point that firms should emphasize intellectual capital accounting and disclosure to boost and maintain a motivated workforce and its potentially beneficial effect on firm valuation in this knowledge era.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose: Moneylenders, sometimes called 'loan sharks' due to their high interest rates, are informal financial institutions that offer loans not in line with Islamic law. This study analyzes the factors that influence the behavior of households regarding debt to moneylenders. Research Methodology: This research employs descriptive and logistic regression analyses using primary data collected from locals in Jagapura village, Cirebon. Result: The results indicate that basic household necessities determine their debt behavior. However, Islamic financial literacy and increasing income present effective solutions for moneylenders to overcome their debt. Limitation: This study is based on primary data from a specific village, Jagapura, in Cirebon, which may not be representative of all households in debt to moneylenders in other regions or settings. Contribution: The study suggests that Islamic financial institutions should assist unbankable communities needing funds for daily expenses by performing social functions such as offering interest-free loans (qardhul hasan) and providing Islamic social finance. The establishment of sharia compliant savings and loans could also be a solution to usury-related issues.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose: To investigate the effects of the reliability of electricity supply on the sustainability of SMEs in Cameroon. Research Methodology: This study investigates the effects of the reliability of electricity supply on the sustainability of SMEs in Cameroon. The study used a quantitative approach with the philosophical underpinnings of objectivist ontology and positivist epistemology. Primary data were obtained through closed-ended questionnaires that were responded to by 54 purposively sampled participants in the Fako division. The data were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SPSS 23 and SPSS Amos 24 software. Results: The study revealed that sporadic electricity supply interruptions, chronic electricity supply interruptions, and momentary electricity supply interruptions have no significant positive impact on the sustainability of SMEs in the Fako Division of the Southwest Region of Cameroon. Limitations: This study had a limitation in methodology, as it used a quantitative approach only. A better understanding of this study’s phenomenon can be achieved by adopting a mixed research method, where the qualitative aspect will provide a deeper understanding of the effects of other variables that affect SME sustainability. Contribution: Based on the results of this study, business managers will come to the understanding that the sustainability of their businesses is not dependent on the reliability of the electricity supply. This means that other variables responsible for the sustainability of businesses can be studied qualitatively.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose: The main goal of this study is to determine how work-life balance factors influence employees' job satisfaction in the security sector. Research Methodology: To sample 115 employees, a quantitative methodology and correlational descriptive design, as well as a census technique, were used. The data were collected using structured questionnaires. The hypotheses were tested using multiple linear regression, and the data were input, processed, and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: The findings showed that employees benefit from the organization's work-life balance strategies developed to guarantee that work life is easy for all employees. It also highlighted that several work-life balance elements have a substantial influence on employees' job satisfaction. Limitations: A drawback is that, especially in Ghana's security industry, work-life balance practice has received less attention in the management literature. The study was limited in scope and concentrated on two districts in an urban environment. Contribution: This theory supports the notion that elements of work-life balance influence job satisfaction. Whatever occurred or Any effort made to support employees’ work life would produce definite results when these factors or practices are ingrained into the security service and other organizations’ general policies and programs. This amply demonstrates the importance of work-life balance as a pivot point for employees' ability to meet organizational goals. It is good that the human resource management of every organization pays critical attention to these factors because they will increase job satisfaction and enhance performance.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose: The aim of this study is to create social constructs related to Village-owned Enterprise (VOE) performance measurement tools and establish a hierarchy of strategy formulation using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Research Methodology: The methods used in this research were interviews, observations, and literature reviews to gain overall information to achieve the research goals. The purposively chosen sample was PH Village and PL VOE in Yogyakarta Province. Based on the data obtained, a BSC simulation was conducted, followed by strategic analysis using AHP. Results: This study established a social construct of VOE’s performance measurement model based on the social enterprise BSC introduced by Bull (2007) and Somers (2005). A simulation was conducted by measuring the performance of the PL VOE. A total score of 96,49% was obtained for the PL performance measurement result. In addition, a strategy to create barriers to entry was established in this study. The analysis showed that the product differentiation strategy had the highest score (0,66394). To obtain the strategy, the village head, as a village vision creator, must create vision (0,47037) focusing on how to satisfy the PL’s consumers (0,35131). Limitations: The limitation of the research is the lack of an observable sample since not all the villages and VOEs have the required data for research purposes. Contribution: The benefit of this study is that it focuses on the Yogyakarta Provincial Village Community Empowerment Service. This research can be used to formulate strategic policies for the Yogyakarta Provincial government to improve VOE performance, mainly in terms of barriers to entry creation. Novelty: This study contributes to the strategic management of social enterprises in Indonesia, particularly VOE. The use of social BSC and AHP in one article to measure the performance of VOE and to create barriers to entry strategies is still scarce in Indonesia.]]>
