Abstract

Purpose - The objective of this research is to investigate how Employee Engagement impacts Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) with Resistance to Change as a moderating factor among Dalmas Ditsamapta Polda DIY personnel. The study utilizes a quantitative method with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for analysis. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, focusing on Dalmas Ditsamapta Polda DIY personnel who are at least 18 years old. Data were collected through a Likert scale-based questionnaire and analyzed using WarpPLS version. Design/methodology/approach - This study employs a quantitative research design, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for data analysis. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, focusing on Dalmas Ditsamapta Polda DIY personnel aged 18 and above. Data collection was conducted via a Likert scale-based questionnaire, and analysis was performed using WarpPLS version. Originality -  This research contributes to the existing literature by examining the role of Employee Engagement in influencing Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) within a police institution, with Resistance to Change as a moderating factor. The study enriches theoretical discussions on OCB, particularly in the context of law enforcement. Findings and Discussion - The results showed that: (1) Quality of Work Life (QWL) has a significant effect on OCB, where a comfortable and supportive work environment can increase personnel's voluntary work behavior, including willingness to work overtime. (2) Employee Engagement does not have a significant effect on OCB, which indicates that the company's lack of communication and involvement with personnel leads to low appreciation and work motivation. (3) Resistance to Change is shown to moderate the relationship between QWL, Employee Engagement, and OCB. Personnel facing new regulations often feel anxious and are encouraged to improve skills through collaboration between team members. Conclusion - This research provides a theoretical contribution to the study of OCB, particularly in police institutions. It highlights the importance of increasing personnel engagement and building a supportive work environment to foster more positive work behaviors. Further research is encouraged to explore different variables and analysis methods to gain broader insights into the factors that influence OCB.

Abstract

Purpose - This study uses the disaggregation approach to investigate how government spending affects economic growth and poverty levels in Nigeria. The study was anchored on the human capacity theory and two specific objectives were formulated to guide the study. Recent estimates indicate that 67.12% of the Nigerian population is living below one dollar per day. Nationally, 40.7 percent of Nigerians (89 million people) live below the poverty line, while another 25 percent (53 million) are vulnerable (World Bank,2024). Design/methodology/approach - This study using secondary data, this study looks at how different sectors of government expenditures affected poverty and economic growth in Nigeria between 1991 and 2023.  Short- and long-run relationships are evaluated using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, and nonlinear effects are examined using the Threshold Regression Approach. To determine the direction of causality, the study also employs the Granger Causality Test and the Error Correction Model. Originality -  The authors here by declare that no generative AI tools, including text-to-image generators and large language models (ChatGPT, COPILOT, etc.), were used in the creation or editing of manuscripts. Findings and Discussion - reveal that while economic growth insignificantly reduces poverty in both the short and long run, government spending does not have a statistically significant impact on poverty in Nigeria. In the short run, recurrent expenditures on agriculture, health, and education negatively but insignificantly affect economic growth, while expenditures on debt servicing and road construction show a negligible positive effect. Poverty will decrease by 0.45 points in the short term and 0.96 points in the long term for every point increase in government spending at the 1% level of significance. The findings did not support the Keynesian theory or Wagner's Law in Nigeria, which found that government spending increases economic growth and it has ability in reducing poverty in an economy.  The study concludes that the current economic trajectory in Nigeria cannot be sustained and recommends increased government allocations to priority sectors such as health, education, agriculture, and infrastructure. Conclusion - Based on this finding, we can conclude that the type of government expenditure in Nigeria sectors on (Education, Agriculture and Health) have either been insufficient or have not been effectively and efficiently allocated as its ability to reduce poverty is very low and insignificant. It concludes that the current economic trajectory cannot be sustained and recommends increased government allocations to priority sectors such as health, education, agriculture, and infrastructure.

Abstract

Purpose - This paper is an attempt to study the gender gap in access to education and employment in India. By collecting data on various education and employment indicators from NSS reports and Periodic Labourforce Survey data. Design/methodology/approach - The study is based on secondary data collected from various sources including- Periodic Labouforce Survey data, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Govt. of India, reports of UNDP, reports of NSSO, Reports of Ministry of Education, published journal articles, books etc. Findings and Discussion - This paper is an attempt to study the gender gap in access to education and employment in India. By collecting data on various education and employment indicators from NSS reports and Periodic Labourforce Survey data, the study found that there exists a huge gender gap in access to employment opportunities and in education also. It necessitates the government to search some other underlying causes of gender gap in India in general and in education and employment in particular. Lack of access to education by female compared to male is not only the cause of less access to labour market by female. The study also added that social norms, customs, women’s traditional role, people’s attitude towards education are also related factors for gender gap in labour market. Conclusion - The paper attempts to study about the gender gap in education and employment in India. And it has found that in India, females have less access to both education and employment. There was slight improvement in access to education by female particularly in 2018-19 which may be due to the implementation of Samagra Shiksha in India.

Abstract

Purpose - This study examines the impact of infrastructural development on economic growth in selected African countries, with a focus on key indicators such as electricity consumption, mobile cellular subscriptions, and access to clean water.. Design/methodology/approach - Using annual panel data from 1990 to 2023 for fifteen African countries, the study employs fixed effects, random effects, and dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) estimation techniques. Control variables include foreign direct investment, exchange rate, and inflation. Panel unit root and cointegration tests were conducted to validate the robustness of the models. Originality -  The study offers updated empirical evidence on the infrastructure-growth nexus in Africa by using recent data and a broader set of infrastructure indicators. It also contributes to existing literature by employing dynamic panel modeling techniques to better capture long-run relationships. Findings and Discussion - The results reveal that electricity consumption, mobile cellular subscriptions, and access to clean water have statistically insignificant and negative effects on economic growth. In contrast, foreign direct investment has a positive and significant impact. These findings suggest that the current state and management of infrastructure in the selected African countries may not yet support growth-enhancing outcomes, potentially due to inefficiencies, inadequate access, or policy shortcomings. Conclusion - Infrastructure development, as currently implemented in the selected African countries, does not significantly promote economic growth. The study recommends that African governments reform infrastructure-related policies, improve service delivery, and ensure investments translate into economic outcomes through better governance and regulatory frameworks.

Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to assess the impact of government expenditure, specifically capital and recurrent expenditures, on economic growth in Nigeria. The objective is to determine which form of spending most effectively stimulates economic development and to offer policy guidance for optimizing fiscal resource allocation. Design/methodology/approach - The research adopts an ex-post facto design using annual time series data from 1980 to 2022. Key variables include GDP growth rate, gross capital formation, employment, inflation, government capital expenditure, and recurrent expenditure. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) techniques were employed to examine both short-run and long-run relationships among the variables, following unit root and cointegration tests. Originality -  The study contributes uniquely to fiscal policy literature by using a dual-model estimation approach (ARDL and DOLS) to robustly evaluate Nigeria’s government expenditure effectiveness. It also focuses on the disaggregated effects of capital and recurrent expenditure in a developing economy context where such separation is often blurred in policy application. Findings and Discussion - The results show that both capital and recurrent expenditures do not have a statistically significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria during the study period. In contrast, employment demonstrates a consistent positive impact. The analysis suggests inefficiencies, poor execution of capital projects, and inadequate fiscal targeting as contributing factors to the ineffectiveness of public spending. No long-run cointegration was established, further supporting the notion of weak fiscal transmission mechanisms. Conclusion - Government expenditure in Nigeria, as currently structured, has limited effectiveness in fostering economic growth. The study recommends reforming public expenditure management, enhancing transparency and accountability, and prioritizing employment-generating projects to promote sustainable growth.
