EKSU Journal of the Management Scientists: Socio-Economic Determinants of Life Assurance Purchase in Nigeria
No full textThis study examined the socio-economic determinants of life assurance purchase in Nigeria. It explored the effect of education, occupation, level of income, and price of life insurance policies on purchasing life insurance products. The study employed a survey research design. The study population was the civil servants in the Enugu State Government ministry, while a convenient sampling technique was used to select 240 civil servants who participated in the study. A suitable sampling technique was used to collect data from the selected respondents (civil servants) from the Enugu State Government Ministries (ESGMs). Linear regression analysis was employed to validate the research hypothesis at a 0.05 significant level. The statistical result showed that education and occupation have 39% and 40.5% respective influence on the purchase of life assurance products in Nigeria. The analysis also revealed that income level and premium (price) have 39.9% and 55.6% influence on the purchase of life assurance products respectively. The most important finding of this study was that socio-economic variables such as education, occupation, income level and the prices (premium) of life assurance policies are significant determinants of life assurance products purchase in Nigeria. Therefore, it was recommended that the regulatory bodies and stakeholders should consider introducing insurance education in schools, radio and televisions stations where the significance and mechanisms of life assurance can be discussed. That life assurance sellers should focus on creating special products for people whose jobs present greater than average risks. It was equally recommended that occupation, income and prices of life assurance products should be factors in product design and sales since they are all significant determinants of life assurance purchase. The study contributes to knowledge by establishing a significant relationship between education, occupation, income and price (premium) with the purchase of life assurance policie
Nigerian Journal of Banking and Financial Issues (NJBFI): THE IMPACT OF SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING ON THE COMMITMENT TO CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF LISTED OIL AND GAS COMPANIES IN NIGERIA
No full textThis study examines the impact of sustainability accounting on the commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of listed oil and gas companies in Nigeria. The purpose of this research is to establish the influence of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) provisions on the commitment to corporate social responsibility among listed oil and gas firms in Nigeria. An ex post facto research design was employed while data was sourced from the annual reports of 7 listed oil and gas firms in Nigeria for a period of 6 years (2017 – 2022). The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis while the hypotheses were tested using multiple regression analysis with the aid of E-views Statistical Package. The empirical results revealed that compliance to Global reporting Initiative (GRI) social provision has a negative but significant effect on commitment to CSR, compliance to GRI governance provision has a positive but significant effect on commitment to CSR and compliance to GRI environmental provision has a positive but insignificant effect on commitment to CSR. It is recommended that standard setters develop guidelines to meet local context, country differences and it is suggested that future research should consider other sectors, regions and factors that can influence CSR practices
