The study focused on influence of life satisfaction and demographic class on professionalism of Nigerian military. Many of the actions taken by the Nigerian military lately such as the shooting of protesters at Lekki toll gate, Lagos State, the shooting of the unarmed Shite protesters in Abuja, and the massacre of the Biafran freedom agitators (IPOB members) in Eastern Nigeria suggested lack of professionalism on the Nigerian military. A sample of 44 personnel were drawn from the Military Barracks, Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria. Inferential statistics confirmed the hypothesis that life satisfaction would not significantly influence professionalism of Nigerian military. Again, demographic class did not significantly influence Nigerian military's professionalism. It is recommended for professionalism socialization be inculcated from time to time in Nigerian military personnel. Adequate deterrence actions need to be taken on unprofessional conducts of soldiers. This will instill professional attitudes in the Nigerian Armed Forces personnel.

The study examined life-distress and work-burnout as predictors of nurses' organizational reactions and social-emotional stability in Eastern Nigeria (Biafra). A cluster-sampled 230 General Hospitals nurses in Anambra State between 25-48 years and SD 5.33 participated, in which valid/reliable instruments, predictive cross-sectional designs, and multiple regression statistics were adopted. Findings were: Life-distress has relationship with organizational reactions of the nurses. Burnout does not have relationship with nurses' organizational reactions. Life-distress does not have relationship with nurses' emotional stability. Burnout adversely affects nurses' emotional stability. Life-distress will not lead to nurses' organizational reactions. Life-distress will not lead to nurses' emotional stability. Burnout will not lead to nurses' organizational reactions. Low burnout will lead to nurses' emotional stability. Recommendations: While encouraging nurses to develop work competencies for coping with life-distress and burnout, complimentary healthy psycho-organizational enablers should be established in hospitals. This will assist health-care givers cope with pressure of managing COVID-19 pandemic.

The study investigated fear of negative evaluation and self-efficacy vis-à-vis job-involvement of physically challenged persons in Anambra State, Eastern Nigeria (Biafra). Participants were 32 sampled through multisystem sampling. Data were collected using valid/reliable Fear of Negative Evaluation, Self-Efficacy, and Job-Involvement Scales. The study had predictive design with regression statistics. Findings were that for physically challenged persons in Anambra State, Eastern Nigeria (Biafra): There was high fear of negative evaluation; Self-efficacy was relatively stable; Job-involvement was below average; Fear of negative evaluation significantly/positively correlated with their job-involvement; Self-efficacy significantly/positively correlated with their job-involvement; Fear of negative evaluation significantly/positively predicted job-involvement; and Self-efficacy significantly/positively predicted job-involvement. Recommendations: Self-efficacy of physically challenged persons should be boosted. Physically challenged persons should improve functional prowess, and refrain from self-pity.

Objectives of the study were to investigate lecturers' lifestyle and university ownership variables, and stress experiences accompanying the variables. Participants (110) were sampled using incidental and cluster techniques: Federal University (46), State University (42), and Private University (22), Professors (12), Associate Professors (9), Senior Lecturers (30), Lecturer 1 (24), Lecturer 2 (14), and Assistant Lecturers (21) of cross-sectional and factorial designs, with multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA) statistics. Data were collected using valid/reliable lifestyle , and stress experience inventories of 5-points Likert measurements respectively. Findings were: Lifestyle significantly predisposed lecturers to stress; lifestyle significantly predisposed lecturers to stress arising from relationship with colleagues, research stress, and teaching task stress; combination of lifestyle and university type significantly contributed to lecturers' stress experiences; finally, variations in the stress were caused by work environment stressors. Recommendations were for lecturers to adopt healthy lifestyle , while university work environment be improved.

The research examined psychosocial implications of Fulani herdsmen religio-organizational terrorism in Eastern-Nigeria (Biafra). Research participants were individuals or inhabitants affected by the Fulani herdsmen attacks. The research adopted analytical design. Instruments were secondary sources of information explored to collect facts. Fulani Herdsmen religio-organizational terrorism in Eastern Nigeria (Biafra) is characterised by religious/ethnic cleansing, physical injury and starvation, genocide, abduction and sexual abuse. Psychosocial theories reviewed were psychoanalysis, cognitive dissonance, frustration-aggression, and terror-management. Findings of the research were that Fulani Herdsmen terrorism leads to the following psychological results-mental health challenge, withdrawal tendency, life frustration, and trauma; as well as the following social results-social anxiety, tribal hatred, high insecurity/crime, and family disintegration. Recommendations were made to intensify security effectiveness and efficiency, as well as political will and synergy to stop Fulani Herdsmen religio-organizational terrorism in Eastern Nigeria (Biafra) in particular and Nigeria in general.

The study is on university academics’ perceptions of Nigeria’s ceding of Bakassi to Cameroun without plebiscite. The study derives its significances in the Anyoku’s (2012) criticisms of Nigeria’s handing over of Bakassi to Cameroun; and Soyinka’s (2012) belief on self-determination by the Bakassi people. A total of 118 university academics of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Nigeria, of 25-65yrs were used. The instrument was Likert (1932) format Check-list. The sampling was multi-stage method with 2x3 independent groups post facto designs. The statistics were Repeated Factor Independent Sample Test, and One-Way ANOVA analyses. The findings at P<.05 were (1) University academics perceived the use of the International Court in settling the Bakassi international disputes as not being rational. (2) University academics perceived Nigeria’s decision to handover Bakassi to Cameroun without plebiscite as inadequate. (3) Gender of university academics did not significantly influence their perceptions of the inadequacy of Bakassi handover without plebiscite, in which both genders had above average with the female gender having higher perception. (4) University academics educational levels significantly influenced their perceptions of the inadequacy of Bakassi handover without plebiscite, in which all the academic levels had above average perception with doctorate degree holders having higher perception. (5) Professional cadre of university academics was significant in the perceptions of the inadequacy of ceding of Bakassi to Cameroun without plebiscite, in which all the professional cadres had above average perception with high cadre academics having higher perception. Recommendations are: Nigeria, Cameroun, and the international community should conduct plebiscite on Bakassi’s nationality. This will resolve many psychosocial identity crises arising from the Nigeria’s ceding of Bakassi to Cameroun.

This study investigated occupational stress, work engagement and work environment as predictors of job satisfaction among 300 primary school teachers in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Data were collected from volunteers through occupational stress scale, work engagement, work environment scale and job satisfaction scale. Consistent with the three hypotheses stated, the results of regression analyses showed that occupational stress,work engagement and work environment were all significantly and positively related to job satisfaction. It has implications for ministries of education, organisations, and individuals to view job satisfaction as key to high productivity. Organisations should encourage and train workers in other to achieve optimal performance. The study concluded that ministries of education need to understand the importance of negative impact of occupational stress, work engagement and work environment in other to maximize job satisfaction of their teachers.

The study analyzed the economic role of micro insurance cooperative in the entrepreneurial development of Anambra State. The objectives of the study were to explore the entrepreneurship of micro insurance cooperative in Anambra State, to expose the level of poverty and hunger profiles in Nigeria, and to access the available products of micro insurance cooperative in Anambra State. Five micro insurance cooperative were randomly selected out of 35 micro insurance cooperative in Anambra State for the study. Tables, percentages, and descriptive statistics were used in the analyses and presentation of data. The results showed that various agricultural cooperatives insured their cassava and cattle at the rate of 2.0% and 2.5% respectively to micro insurance cooperative. Consumer education was recommended as an effective means of reaching a wider market in order to improve the ​use of insurance as an effective management tool among low-income Nigerian. The paper also recommended that affordable, creative, and innovative products with greater coverage to serve a wider range of risks should be provided by insurers.

The study examines industrial merger and its conflict dynamic attributes. The organizational/industrial merger in the United Bank for Africa (UBA) was appraised as the study’s case. Significant difference in the conflict dynamics attributable to organizational/industrial merger was the research propositions (hypothesis) for the study. The proposition was tested at the p< .01 significant level. thus, 29 participants were sampled from 46-personnel population using incidental randomization sampling method. The measuring item was a 24-item structured questionnaire with the following scientific qualities: 72% and r = .72 construct and interraters’ validity indices respectively, r = . 83 reliability index, 3-group survey design, One-Way Anova statistics, and 4-point rating scale of very strongly (4), strongly (3), sometimes (3), and not at all (1). From the statistical analysis, the null hypothesis was rejected. The implication of this was that the organizational/industrial merger has significant differential effects on the organizational dynamics existing in the United Bank for Africa (UBA). Again, it was found that organizational conflict manifests most in interpersonal work characteristics, followed by structural, and least functional work characteristics in that order of magnitude. Still further analysis reveals that organizational conflict was not dysfunctional. When well managed, organizational conflicts arising from industrial/organizational merger cannot be destructive. Adequate training, motivation, and a sense of belonging should always be given to personnel whenever merger is proposed.

This empirical study examined the capacity-building of mass education as training correlate for human development sustainability in Nigeria. the null research question cum hypotheses tested in the study examined (1) whether there is significant efficacy of capacity-building goal of mass education in enhancing human development in Nigeria, and (2) whether various human developments are differentially and significantly enhanced in Nigeria vis-a-vis capacity-building effects of mass education. The methodology of the study has the following scientific qualities: Significant testing level of p< .01, survey design, probability cluster sampling, interval measurement, secondary data source, participants’ average age of 29.5, multivariate and descriptive statistical analyses. The result showed that capacity-building goal of mass education was far below average in enhancing human development. Again, male was slightly empowered by capacity-building of mass education than the female gender. similarly, in Nigeria, the capacity-building of mass education was most enhancing in economic engagements/activities of human development and the female gender dominated the area, followed by per capita income dominated by the male gender, and the least was access to social amenities in which the opportunities available to the male gender was slightly edged that of the female gender. Generally, human developments enhancement through capacity-building of mass education was terribly poor in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that the organization and management of Nigerian educational system and training should be functional-focused and community-based so as to enhance entrepreneurial capacity-building efficacy and viability. Again, the society and the practices therein should also be made open to both genders. This will promote equal empowerment of both genders.

Social work refers to the organized methods and activities for promoting human welfare by preventing and relieving sufferings. It actually entails professionalism. The aim is to improve and restore quality of life. Social work is an inherent psychosocial pattern of life (interaction) of the Igbos of the Southeastern Nigeria. Certain problems like poverty, unavoidable (natural), personality, and human-created problems are handled in native social work. These problems are handled in Igbos’ traditional social work through preventive, corrective, and remedial services/activities. In Igbos’ traditional social works, problems in living are identified as early as possible, and assistance is also initiated as early as possible. It is therefore suggested that these positive values of the traditional social work should be formally learned and incorporated into modern practice.

This paper x-rays the psychological implications of people living or coming together while at the same time maintaining their cultural differences. in this analysis, emphasis is placed on the psychological implications of cultural clashes. In doing this, the causes, merits, and demerits of cultural clashes are discussed. Consequently, the analysis is capped with recommendations on how to resolve cultural clashes.

Abstract
The  study  investigated  creativity  insights  for  entrepreneurship  of  youths  in
the  Eastern  Nigeria  and  its  media

tern.
Again,  t
hrough  the  study  it  would  be  clearly  shown  the  areas  of  training  efficacy  and  entrepreneurial
stimulation  attained  by  a  typical  Nigerian  University.  Three  null  propositions  were  tested  in  the  st

rom  a  population  of  415  youths,  with the  average  age  of
22.5 years.  Primary sourced data that attained interval scale obtained from a test administered on
the 3rd year
students  of  Anambra  State  University,  Nigeria  to  assess  the  employment  usefulness  and  a
pplications  of  the
course  “Entrepreneurial  Skills”  were  used  in  the  study.  The  test  was  credible  as  an  official  mandato
ry
University  test  that  formed  part of the  students’  final  grades.  The  designs  had  2x4 factors  of  2  gen

variables  were  controlled  with  placebo,  quality  control,  randomization,  and  elimination.    Results  sh
owed  that
all  the  null  hypotheses  were  rejected,  and  the  youths  e
xhibited  below  average  in  entrepreneurship  creativity
insights,  in  which  “feasible”  creativity  insight  was  exhibited  highest,  though  still  below  average.
  The  male
gender exhibited “feasible”, “hypothetical”, and “conventional” creativity  insights in that
order of magnitude
more  than the  female  gender,  while  the  female  gender  exhibited  only  “academic”  creativity  insight  mo

Abstract
The current study was on “organizational commitment and its impacts on self-efficacy of Nigerian Police personnel. The implications of the study for combating terrorism in Nigeria were well reflected. The study is very necessary as the major security challenge (test) and problem (trouble) facing Nigerian presently is the prevailing and unending terrorists’ attacks in Nigeria. The current study therefore makes contribution to knowledge as it highlights the extent of organizational commitment and self-efficacy possessed by the Nigerian Police personnel amidst their efforts to combat terrorism in the country. Participants numbering 112 were sampled for the study through probability (cluster) and non-probability (incidental) techniques among the Nigeria Police personnel in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. The average age of the participants was 35.7 years. “Self-Efficacy Scale” and “Organizational Commitment Inventory” were used to measure constructs of interest. The study had 6-groups field design. Pearson correlation and mulitivariate statistics were used to analyze the collected data. The three hypotheses tested in the study at p <.05 were “organizational commitment and self-efficacy of the Nigerian Police personnel will not significantly influence each other”; “Nigerian Police personnel will not significantly possess high organizational commitment”, and; “self-efficacy of Nigerian Police personnel will not be significantly high”. The first hypothesis was accepted, while the second and third were rejected. Again, while some of the Nigerian Police personnel possessed “identification”, “job involvement”, and “loyalty” attributes of organizational commitment; as well as “social performance efficiency”, and “work performance competence” attributes of self-efficacy above the average, others possessed them below the average. There is therefore the need to conduct more studies on the organizational commitment, and self-efficacy of the Nigerian Police personnel, as a single study like this one will not suffice amidst the overwhelming terrorists’ attacks in Nigeria. Further studies have to increase the number of Police personnel participants, especially the senior personnel participants from the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP).

Abstract

      The study is on “correlates of organizational culture with ethical-moral behaviour among police personnel in Nigeria”. The goal of the study is to investigate the organizational culture and ethical-moral behaviour of the Nigerian Police. The significance of the study is that it will reveal the current organizational culture and ethical-moral behaviour of the Nigerian Police after more than a decade the Nigerian Police had been found to be the most corrupt organization in Nigeria (IDR, 2003). The null hypotheses were tested at p < .001 significance level. Participants with an average age of 35.7 years were sampled from Constable (24), Corporal (20), Sergeant (32), Inspector (24), Assistant Superintendent of Police-ASP (8), and Deputy Superintendent of Police-DSP (4) using cluster (probability) and incidental (non-probability) sampling techniques. Ethical-moral behaviour was measured with the “Ethical-moral Self Inventory” (divergent validity .08, and test-retest reliability .92) and organizational culture was measured with “Organizational Cultures Inventory” (convergent validity .83, and Cronbach Alpha .74). Design was six-group correctional field design. Statistics were based on correlations and multivariate analyses. The study found significant correlation between ethical-moral behaviour and organizational culture of the Nigerian Police. It was also found that ethical-moral behaviour for the ranks of the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) was significant. Furthermore, correlational comparisons with other elements of organizational culture found no significant “ethical-moral behaviour” for the Nigerian Police.  Further studies are recommended on this topic. Improved ethical-moral reorientation is recommended for the Nigerian Police personnel.

ABSTRACT
This is a research discourse on partnering utilization of research findings, in which its path-goal motivation for
industrial/organizational development for Eastern Nigeria was the central focus. The significance of the
research lies in its reorientation goal to promote pro-research attitudes in the socio-human endeavours in
Eastern Nigeria. The wide spread apathy towards pro-research behaviour has made it significant to create
awareness and sensitization that utilization of research findings is pivotal for the industrial/organizational
development of Eastern Nigeria. The dimensions of partnering the utilization of research findings are the
“Government, and Researcher Partnering”; the “Government, and Institutions Partnering”; “Researcher, and
Entrepreneurs Partnering”; “Institutions, and Entrepreneurs Partnering; as well as “Multi-dimensional
Partnering”. Research findings can be utilized in the following ways: Technology advancement, manufacturing
capacity, entrepreneurial ambition, science advancement, and socio-human envelopment. The effectiveness of
utilization of research findings in Eastern Nigeria is affected by challenges like non-chalant and irresponsible
leadership, trading socioeconomic, social vices, pseudo-science attitudes, corruption, inability to delay
gratification, as well as political and ethnic suppression. It is therefore recommended that there is need to
encourage partnering utilization of research findings in Eastern Nigeria. This will help promote career and
professionalism in research. Researchers, as well as research institutions can partner and utilize their findings
in such endeavours as small-scale enterprises. Again, the Government(s) in Eastern Nigeria should exhibit proresearch
actions that facilitate utilization of research findings.

Abstract
This was an observational study that investigated aggressive tendencies among occupational groups in Anambra State, Nigeria; in which aggressive behaviours were rated on a Three-Factor Aggressive Check-List. By identifying the occupational groups’ dispositions to aggress, the Nigerians’ socio-economic groups’ tendencies to aggress can also be understood. The hypotheses tested were (1) “verbal, physical, and indirect aggressive tendencies do not significantly manifest in Anambra State” and (2) “Various occupational groups in Anambra State do not differ significantly in their manifestations of aggressive tendencies”. The participants were 114 and occupational groups 6. They were sampled through Double Sampling Technique. The measurement attained interval scale. The study had observational design, and the data statistics were multi-variate analysis of variance on version 17 of SPSS. The first hypothesis was accepted, while the second was rejected. The finding were: (1) manifestations of verbal, physical, and indirect aggressive behaviours for the participants tended to last for about 5 minutes; (2) artisans exhibited the greatest aggressive tendencies; (3) commercial transporters were lowest in exhibiting verbal aggression; (4) physical aggression was exhibited the least by security outfits; and (5) unemployed group was least/lowest in exhibiting indirect aggression. It is plausible that personality factor and occupational orientation could have affected the outcome. There is therefore the need for corrective programmes that involve behaviour modifications to be focused more on artisans. Again, value- socialization should be intensified to reduce aggressive tendencies among occupational groups in Anambra State. This will encourage tolerant life-style.
