Abstract

This study primarily aimed to evaluate the implementation of Information and Communications Technology at Biliran Province State University. The descriptive-correlational design was used to gather data on the profile of the faculty, technological competencies of the faculty, the extent of implementation of ICT at Biliran Province State University, problems encountered by the faculty in the implementation of ICT, and the feedbacks of the faculty in the implementation of ICT at Biliran Province State University during the school year 2017-2018. Most of the faculty are middle-aged, females, non-ICT, has a length of service of 5 years and below, has mastered units, and has not attended training in ICT. The faculty has the competencies to use the technology for productivity, research, communication, presentation, and media purposes. On the other hand, there is a significant relationship between the technological competencies of the faculty and the extent of implementation of ICT, and between the problems encountered by the faculty in the implementation of ICT and the extent of implementation of ICT. It is concluded that the ICT was often implemented by the faculty in Biliran Province State University. It is hereby recommended that the training plan crafted by the researcher should be utilized to improve the teaching competencies of the faculty in the utilization of ICT at Biliran Province State University.

Abstract

Disposal of plastic packaging has caused the increase of amount of waste. The non-biodegradeble plastic packaging will pollute the environment and its toxic chemical will have adverse effects to our health. One of the ways to minimise the plastic waste is to use the green packaging. Green packaging is eco-friendly packaging, harmless to human health and more importantly it is biodegradable. Many businesses have switched to going green concepts by providing green products and services. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the determinants of consumers’ purchase behaviour from the perspective of green packaging products. This study has recruited 200 respondents from Melaka using convenience samping. Survey was used for data collection with a set of self-administered quesntionnaires that covered respondents’ demographic background and all the variables in the research model. PLS-SEM was used to examine the validity and relationships of the constructs. Both convergent validity and discriminant validity were deemed satisfactory. 0.444 of R2 was obtained from the data analysis. This means that the model explained 44.4% of total variation of purchase behaviour. Environmental concern and environmental attitude were found positively affect consumers’ purchase behaviour towards green packaging products. Environmental knowledge and social influence, however, were found to have no effect on the purchase behaviour. This study will be able to provide valuable information to the marketers to focus not only on their products but the packaging of their products as well. This study also provides an insight into the consumers’ purchase behaviour towards green packaging products. It is recommended to future research to recruit more respondents with more diversify background and include other variables.

Abstract

Nowadays, founding a sustainable control method will assist institutions in utilizing resources effectively and efficiently and enable the firm to have a competitive edge for an extended period. A worker-machine relationship-based strategy has been oriented in a machine shop where the process cost is elevated and resources are ineffective. Multiple investigations probed the usefulness of various problem-solving instruments in diverse fields; nevertheless, there is a deficiency of investigations on the application of gang process charts, and random and synchronous servicing, mainly in a machine shop. Consequently, this analysis sought to assess the job distribution during service procedure, decide which employee and machine will need reassignment to perform effectively, and suggest a sustainable management technique to optimize the process and downsize operation costs. This study employed a descriptive research design with an overt observational approach in a well-established machine shop in Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. A sum of fifteen workers straight engaged with the machines has been observed. The study realized that Operators 1,2,3,4, and 5 are already working on the perfect number of machines. Operator 6 will need one additional machine, and Operators 7,8, 9, and 10 will need one less machine to perform on ideal quantity and support operating costs. None of the machines will require modifications in the number of operators due to nuanced machine downtime. Moreover, the total anticipated cost of reassignments is not invariably declining. Accordingly, counting on the fee of the firm's services, the administrator or manager may enforce the modifications.

Abstract

In the past two decades, the effort toward reducing poverty and its dimensions has increased in middle and low-income countries by introducing diverse social protection programmes. In Nigeria, for instance, various successive regimes have experimented with myriads of programmes targeted at poverty alleviation. Yet, in 2018, Nigeria was named the world's poverty capital, with about 87 million citizens living in extreme poverty. This data could be because economists, the World Bank, and other development organizations have stereotyped the concept of poverty as income, consumption, and wealth without paying attention to the "poverty mentality". As a result, governments often instinctively neglect the influence of the "poverty mentality" on the part of beneficiaries of poverty alleviation programmes when initiating social protection policy framework for the country. However, from the literature reviewed, a "poverty mentality" often leads to poor financial decisions and deadweight spending. Accordingly, this research article recommends a new international poverty order (NIPO) by dealing with multidimensional poverty and "poverty mentality" through investment education and value reorientation.

Abstract

This study examines major socio-economic determinants of child labour in North-Eastern Nigeria. The study employs multistage sampling techniques to obtain required data from selected local government areas in three states of North Eastern Nigeria, namely, Adamawa, Bauchi, and Yobe States. Structured questionnaires were administered to 810 children and their household heads in three wards of each local government area selected. The data obtained was analyzed using the Tobit Model. The result shows that socio-economic determinants of child labour comprise children’s age, children’s gender, children’s relationship with household head, household head’s education, household head’s occupation, and poverty, which is measured by household head’s income, family size, access to clean piped water, and distance from school. Among them, some were found to be statistically significant at varying levels. Therefore, the study recommends necessary actions such as enlightenment on the effects of child labour, severe punishment of those found involved in child labour related activities, and the need for the government to make adequate provision for basic infrastructure.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of industrial action on small and medium-scale businesses (SMEs) productivity and operations. To achieve this, the study examines the effect of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike on SMEs in and around the Federal University of Lafia (FULafia) Nasarawa. The study uses the Taro-Yamani Formula to determine the sample size. Questionnaires were used to collect data, and the Logit regression method was employed for the analysis. The result revealed that the ASUU strike has a negative and significant impact on SME operations in and around FULafia. Also, it reveals that the ASUU strike has an insignificant negative impact on SMEs' productivity in and around FULafia. The study, therefore, recommends that the government and other stakeholders should comply with whatever agreement is made with the striking union (ASUU) to avert strikes, as this not only cripples the academic calendar but also affects businesses and other economic activities within the environs of the universities.

Abstract

Awareness to consider HSSE in business operations becomes one of the approaches in sustaining the business of the integrated marine logistics sector. It is because the impact of unmanaged HSSE risk could have significant direct consequences for business in terms of financial & reputation loss. Thus, most companies believe, a proper HSSE management would drive the company's performance and sustain the business. Unfortunately, integrating HSSE into business is not an easy task. There are so many HSSE standards that need to be covered besides other standards that need to be also implemented from many disciplinary aspects. Therefore, the research conducted to identify an HSSE management system that aligns with business sustainability as an integrated management system to provide simplicity, eliminate redundancies, reduce documentation, establish consistency, reduce bureaucracy, cost reduction, streamline processes, optimize resources, consistency objectives across multiple systems, deliver a better result, and gain competitive advantage in supporting to be lean enterprise in driving company to be world-class level. The framework used is ESG by Sustainalytics, which consider three main items, e.g., corporate governance, materiality issues, and idiosyncratic issues. Corporate governance refers to the worldwide standard such as standalone management systems (ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISM, ISPS, and ANZI Z10) and integrated management systems (PAS 99, ISRS 9, OEMS, and SUPREME). Materiality issues refer to the Sustainalytics and SASB list out. Meanwhile, the idiosyncratic refers to GISIS, IMO data of incidents in the last 5 years. In addition to that, research enriched with a causal effect model in enhancing HSSE excellence. The result of the assessment is a proposed integrated management system categorized into four pillars, i.e., People, Process, Plant, and Performance (4Ps). People consist of Leadership commitment and Training & competency assurance. Process consists of Occupational Health, Safe operation, Security for personnel & asset, Environment management, Hazard & risk management, Compliance, Emergency Management, Contractor & supplier management, Project management, Communication & promotion, and Learning from the event. Plant consists of Reliability & integrity management and Management of change. Performance consists of Result & reviews.

Abstract

Environmental awareness for the sake of ecosystem sustainability is proven to have a positive influence on the development of various forms of management in various fields. In operations management, an environmental management system standard has even emerged, which helps organizations to manage their business activities while taking into account the aspects and their impact on the environment, known as ISO 14001. For Human Resource Management (HRM), Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) is currently being widely implemented. The study then discusses in more detail how inspection companies in Indonesia, especially in the oil and gas sector, implement GHRM. The study also examines its relation to implementing the ISO 14001 environmental management system as compliance with regulations set by the Government, bearing in mind that the ISO 14001 standard contains requirements regarding HRM and the contribution of these human resources in organizational policies in the field of environmental preservation. Using qualitative research methods and data analysis processes using NVivo 12, the final results of this study found a link between GHRM and ISO 14001, and these interactions are related to one another. Furthermore, this study also looks further at the ideal model concept that can be applied as an illustration of the integration of GHRM and ISO 14001.

Abstract

Poverty is a disease that continues to cause insecurity and other forms of social vices in a country, which in turn affects the growth and development of the nation. The increasing poverty rate, especially in Nigeria, has become a complex problem that has resulted in economic degradation, which must be immediately resolved. Therefore, this study examines poverty and its intractability in Nigeria: causes and consequences. The study analyzes the data using Ordinary Least Square methods. The data were obtained from Federal Reserve Economic Data and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The results indicate that the poverty rate will rise by 0.035375 and 2.564296 units, respectively, for every unit increase in population and unemployment (UMP). Besides, the result shows that a unit increase in the human development index (HDI) will lead to a -4.347621 decrease in the poverty rate in Nigeria. The framework affirms that poverty is an intractability in Nigeria. The study consequently suggests that the government, non-governmental organizations, and private citizens prioritize funding for human development and embrace a solid fiscal policy that will boost economic output and lower the country's degree of poverty.

Abstract

Agroindustry regions with the potential for volcano disasters are strategic to be developed. The long-term post-eruption impact of volcanic ash benefits agricultural crops in the surrounding area. However, in the short term, it will impact crop damage and damage to infrastructure that disrupts production activities and marketing of agricultural products. This paper aims to find out the factors in creating the capabilities of agribusiness actors in the prone zone to the Merapi volcano disaster. These factors are attributes of the production capability construct relevant to a fast recovery process scheme that encourages the availability of production continuity areas as part of disaster management. This paper discusses the factors that form the capability of agriculture production in Magelang regency adjacent to an active volcano, Mount Merapi, with a multivariate approach using factor analysis in the agribusiness zone. The sample of this research is 100 respondents of farmers and agribusiness owners. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling, by taking sample data from 21 districts in Magelang Regency. The discussion in this paper determines that four factors shape agricultural capability in disaster-prone zones: support for production modernization, knowledge management, communication convergence, and change management. These four components will contribute in the context of scientific disaster management to productivity in the agroindustry area.
