Abstract: This study generally aimed to determine the relationship between authority, accountability, and empowerment of school heads and the performance level of schools in Leyte Districts of Leyte Division during the school year 2020-2021.

Utilizing the descriptive-correlational research design, this study elicited data from the 28 school heads across Leyte Districts I and II.

Based on the findings of the study, most of the school heads in Leyte I and II Districts were teacher-in-charge, completed academic requirements (CAR) in master's degree, have five years and below experience as school heads, and have attended training in the division level. Further, the school heads have a very satisfactory level of authority, an outstanding level of accountability, and an outstanding level of empowerment. It was also found that most of the schools in Leyte I and II Districts have better performance based on the assessment tool of the School-Based Management (SBM) level of practice by the Department of Education. Nevertheless, it was found that there is no significant relationship between the profile of school heads and the school's performance level. Likewise, there is no significant relationship between the performance level of the school and the school heads' level of authority, accountability, and empowerment.

On account of the results of the study, the school heads’ level of authority was very satisfactory, while their levels of accountability and empowerment were outstanding. Hence, the researcher came up with a conclusion that the levels of authority, accountability, and empowerment of school heads did not affect the performance level of schools in Leyte Districts. 

It is thus recommended that the district heads may provide technical assistance to school heads on the appropriate approaches for higher school performance management (SBM) level.

Keywords: school heads, higher school performance management, authority, accountability.

Abstract: Business governance has recently sparked widespread concern, owing mostly to huge corporate failures on a domestic and global scale. Governments have adopted both proactive and reactive efforts to achieve sector stability in response to increased incidences of financial distress. Nonetheless, despite government interventionist measures, the stability of banking operations remains doubtful. This study aims to empirically examine the impact of corporate governance on the profitability of Nigeria's banking system. Return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA) were chosen as proxies for banking sector profitability, whilst capital adequacy ratio (CAR), liquidity ratio (LQR), and non-performing loan to total loans (NPL) ratio were chosen as proxies for corporate governance. As a control variable, the inflation rate was incorporated. The study's empirical research indicates that corporate governance has a considerable impact on the profit performance of the Nigerian banking sector. We urge that the regulatory authorities (CBN, NDIC, and SEC) use their monitoring powers assiduously to ensure strict compliance by the banking industry with existing corporate governance standards in order to consolidate, or potentially improve, on the initiative's advantages.

Keywords: Corporate governance, profitability, Nigeria, Banking sector.

Abstract: The hype and disruptive nature of cryptocurrencies have attracted much attention in research fields and huge industrial revolutions, and many Bitcoin success stories amidst the cons of the technology. The disparity between technological adoption between developed economies and developing economies further deepens research. Many research focuses on the security, nature and/ evolution of Bitcoin, user adoption process, etc., in the developed economies in Europe and America with not enough studies on Bitcoin adoption and development in Sub-Saharan Africa, a hub of developing economies. This study seeks to examine the user behaviour to Bitcoin adoption, determining factors in Ghana It adapts the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model 2 (UTAUT2,) extending it with Perceived Trust, and Perceived Risk to develop the research hypothesis. To the Ghanaian consumer, there are no moderating effects of Age and Gender on Price Value (PC) and Facilitating Conditions (FC). Performance Expectation (PE), Effort Expectation (EE), Perceived Risk (PR), Perceived Trust (PT), Price Value (PV) had a significant influence on Behavioural intention to use Bitcoin. The research survey considers both users/investors and non/potential users using identified Bitcoin-focused platforms as a base for the snowball survey providing insights into the user behaviour to Bitcoin adoption and the general Bitcoin phenomenon in Ghana

Abstract: Job evaluation is a process through which private and public organizations can make decisions over relative worth of jobs. Effective job evaluation undertaking depends on analytical approaches and methods such as the point rating. It can be very cumbersome to choose the compensable factors and assign points correctly during point rating because of lacking of skills and information among job evaluaters. The objective of this paper was to apply the point rating method of job evaluation to evaluate the job clusters at a hypothetical General Printers’ Company Limited. Based on a review of literature, the paper practiced all nine steps that it anticipates were used by Job Evaluation Committee to rate points to the jobs particularly in the Trades Skilled job cluster at the Company. The paper maximizes skills and sharing of information on point rating method among Company owners, managers, employee, interns and trade unions representatives being potential participants in the job evaluation Committees. The difficulties encountered in establishing points for jobs among the target audience will be solved and subsequently, their capacity to participate in job evaluation Committees increased due to knowledge and skills gained from a perusal of this paper.

Keywords: Point rating, Trades Skilled Jobs, worth.

Cantor and J. Kihlstrom, 1987) and according to a five-item Likert scale and a 21-item Likert scale. The data were collected and analyzed statistically using the statistical method SPSS. The arithmetic mean of the sample (N = 60) in the self-efficacy variable was (68.75) and the standard deviation was (10,099). And the arithmetic mean of the sample in the social intelligence variable (N = 60) was (10363) and the standard deviation was (3.060). The correlation between the two variables was (0.891).
