This study made use of the descriptive cross-sectional research design. The study's interest is the third-sector organizations that are operational in the South East region of Nigeria. The study applied simple random sampling technique to select 400 participants. Descriptive statistics determined the mean, standard deviation, and inter-item correlation. The analysis was carried out using Multiple Regression. The regression includes Hannan-Quinn criterion, F-statistic, and Durbin-Watson statistic. Satorra-Bentler Test was employed to spot issues of homoscedasticity. Findings showed that effectual orientation has significant positive effect on social performance and commercial performance of third-sector organizations. Finding further revealed that social mission orientation does not significantly relate with social performance of third-sector organizations, and that social mission orientation has no significant negative linear relationship between commercial performance. The study recommended among others that third-sector organizations should prioritize the adoption of effectual orientation as a core strategic approach, and should re-evaluate their operational strategies to ensure that the stated social missions are effectively translated into tangible, measurable actions that align with the needs and expectations of the communities served.

Next, we will discuss criticisms of bureaucratic specialization. We will then explain flaws in David Ricci's (1984) proposed solutions to this conundrum. We will conclude by offering four alternative remedies bent on reconnecting political scientists, government agents, and citizens to one another. The first remedy suggests broad ...

The study was carried out in selected transport firms in Nigeria and survey research method was employed. The instrument for data gathering was structured questionnaire and a random sample of 127 (or 68.28%) transport firms were selected for the study out of a population 168 registered luxury bus and shipping firms in Nigeria. From the sample all available managers in the firms were studied giving a total of 1,270 managers in the 127 firms. For completeness 400 non transport workers were included in the study. Therefore a total number of 1,670 copies of questionnaire were administered to the respondents out of which 1,452 completed copies were returned giving a response rate of 86.95%. Data collected were analyzed using means procedure and hypothesis was tested with the aid of one sample Z-test at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that the extent to which the available resources in Nigeria's transport industry were adequate and appropriate for implementation of National Transport policy (NTP) was significantly above average. Based on the findings, it was logically concluded that the available resources in the Nigerian transport industry were adequate as well as appropriate for the implementation of the National Transport Policy (NTP]. To this effect it was recommended that the NTP be modified to increase the salience of the policy goals, for the transport organizations if further strides towards sustainable transportation are to be made in Nigeria.

Corporate growth strategy variable was proxied by market expansion, market strategy and human resource strategy as extracted from the Ansoff Matrix and Resource Based Theory, while sustainability was modelled by market share, customer experience and organizational evolution. Descriptive research design was employed in studying primary data obtained through a Likert Scaled structured questionnaire. Holistically, a sample frame of 477 executives from 6 development banks in Nigeria, including the African Development Bank was examined. Upon analysis with Linear Regression, it was found that a significant relationship existed between market expansion and market share; marketing s...

Organizational performance is the extent to which the organizational objectives and goals are being achieved. Most business organizations fail in Nigeria because galvanizing diverse workforce to work as a team has been ineffective in terms of policy, training, exposure and approach to specific and overall goals. This has made profitability index difficult to measure in Nigeria. The objectives of the paper are: To determine whether workforce diversity has a positive influence on customer related issues; and to ascertain the effect of education as a tool, on the management of workforce diversity to enhance high profitability index. Findings revealed that workforce diversity has a positive effect on customer related issues in an organisation. In addition, it is found that education as a tool could be effectively utilized in managing workforce diversity to enhance high profitability. Workforce Diversity has been identified as a tool to improved organizational performance and has been as old as the first organization in Nigeria right from the barter system era of the early 1750 and at the industrial revolution and scientific management periods of 1911 to the modern epoch. A combination of the use of secondary data, oral interview, and content analysis was adopted. A spearman's rank correlation coefficient of 0.95 was obtained. Findings in line with the objectives revealed positive influence of workforce diversity on organizational performance of the selected organisations in Nigeria. Conclusion and recommendation was drawn along that regard.
