Abstract

ABSTRACT: Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study and a researcher-designed questionnaire tagged PFRQ (Predisposing Factors of Recidivism Questionnaire) was used to obtain relevant information. Multi-stage sampling technique was adopted to select 250 prison officers from all the five prison centers in Kwara State, Nigeria. Findings showed that prison officers perceived factors, such as non-availability of employment opportunities for ex-convicts, problem of where to start a new life after release from prison among others. The results, further, revealed significant difference in predisposing factors of recidivism as perceived by prison officers based on years in service, but no significant difference was found based on gender. It was recommended that counsellors should endeavour to beam their searchlight into issues of crime, imprisonment, and recidivism; counsellors should also liaise with different NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations), including faith-based to assist released offenders to achieve ease of re-integration into the society.KEY WORD: Predisposing Factors; Recidivism; Prison Officers; Kwara State in Nigeria. ABSTRAKSI: “Faktor-faktor Predisposisi Residivisme yang Dipersepsikan oleh Petugas Penjara di Negara Bagian Kwara, Nigeria: Implikasi bagi Praktek Konseling”. Desain survei deskriptif diadopsi untuk penelitian ini dan kuesioner yang dirancang oleh peneliti yang diberi label PFRQ (Faktor-faktor Predisposisi Kuesioner Residivisme) digunakan untuk memperoleh informasi yang relevan. Teknik pengambilan sampel multi-tahap diadopsi untuk memilih 250 petugas penjara dari semua lima pusat penjara di Negara Bagian Kwara, Nigeria. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa petugas penjara memahami faktor-faktor, seperti tidak tersedianya kesempatan kerja bagi mantan narapidana, masalah dimana memulai kehidupan baru setelah dibebaskan dari penjara antara lain. Hasilnya, lebih lanjut, mengungkapkan perbedaan signifikan dalam faktor predisposisi residivisme seperti yang dirasakan oleh petugas penjara berdasarkan tahun dalam pelayanan, tetapi tidak ada perbedaan signifikan yang ditemukan berdasarkan jenis kelamin. Dianjurkan agar konselor harus berusaha untuk memberikan sorotan mereka kedalam masalah kejahatan, penjara, dan residivisme; konselor juga harus bekerja sama dengan berbagai LSM (Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat), termasuk berbasis agama, dalam membantu pelanggar yang dibebaskan untuk mencapai kemudahan integrasi kembali kedalam masyarakat.KATA KUNCI: Faktor Predisposisi; Residivisme; Petugas Penjara; Negara Bagian Kwara di Nigeria.About the Author: Lateef Omotosho Adegboyega, Ph.D. is a Lecturer at the Department of Counsellor Education, Faculty of Education UNILORIN (University of Ilorin), Ilorin, Nigeria.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The democratization process in Nigeria has been dismally slow owing to issue of leadership in Nigeria, especially among the librarians. Researchers have attributed this prevalent tendency of the Nigerian librarians not being able to manage library failures and successes to inadequacies of emotional intelligence requisite for career progression and professional self-actualization. There is dearth of research in the area of assessing and enhancing emotional intelligence among Nigerian librarians. Attempts made to uncover related studies in this area have proved abortive. It is anticipated that the position of this paper will provide baseline information for research as to how emotional intelligence affects leadership styles in the library organisation. By using the qualitative approaches and literature review, this study tries to elaborate key concepts of leadership and its relationship with the Nigerian librarians, such as: Concept of Emotional Intelligence; Emotional Intelligence and Leadership; Leadership and Leadership Style; the Transformational-Transactional Leadership Style Theory by J.M. Burns was Used to Explain the Concept of Leadership Style; and Relevance of J.M. Burns Theory to this Study. KEY WORD: Assessing; Enhancing; Emotional Intelligence; Nigerian Librarians. ABSTRAKSI: “Menilai dan Meningkatkan Kecerdasan Emosional diantara Pustakawan Nigeria”. Proses demokratisasi di Nigeria berjalan sangat lambat karena isu kepemimpinan di Nigeria, khususnya di kalangan pustakawan. Para peneliti telah mengaitkan kecenderungan umum dari pustakawan Nigeria yang tidak mampu mengelola kegagalan dan keberhasilan perpustakaan ini dengan ketidakcukupan kecerdasan emosional yang diperlukan untuk kemajuan karier dan aktualisasi diri profesional. Ada kelangkaan penelitian di bidang menilai dan meningkatkan kecerdasan emosional diantara pustakawan Nigeria. Upaya yang dilakukan untuk mengungkap studi terkait di bidang ini terbukti gagal. Posisi makalah ini diantisipasi akan memberikan informasi dasar untuk penelitian tentang bagaimana kecerdasan emosional mempengaruhi gaya kepemimpinan dalam organisasi perpustakaan. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan kajian pustaka, penelitian ini mencoba menguraikan konsep-konsep kunci kepemimpinan dan hubungannya dengan pustakawan Nigeria, seperti: Konsep Kecerdasan Emosional; Kecerdasan Emosional dan Kepemimpinan; Kepemimpinan dan Gaya Kepemimpinan; Teori Gaya Kepemimpinan Transformasional-Transaksional oleh J.M. Burns Digunakan untuk Menjelaskan Konsep Gaya Kepemimpinan; serta Relevansi Teori J.M. Burns dengan Studi ini.KATA KUNCI: Menilai; Meningkatkan; Kecerdasan Emosional; Pustakawan Nigeria.   About the Authors: Prof. Adetoun Omolola Idowu, Ph.D. is a Lecturer at the Department of Library Science, Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences, UNILORIN (University of Ilorin) in Ilorin, Nigeria.
