Assessing the Effect of Human Resource Development on Employee Performance in Nigerian Non-Profit Organizations
Get PDFIn the face of the ergonomics of the work environment, the state-of-the-art equipment and raw materials available, which make production possible, human resources are considered the most germane factor that enables production to happen. Employees are regarded as the lifeblood of any organization (for-profit and non-profit alike). However, despite its importance, some organizations still face various difficulties, particularly non-profit organizations, in realizing the advantages of managerial abilities, which include employee career development practices that offer both off-site and on-site opportunities for employees. This study, therefore, examined the effect of human resource development on employee performance in non-profit organizations, focusing on the International Secretariat and the Faith Bible Institute Complex of a selected faith-based organization. The purpose was to analyze how career development, on-site, and off-site training influence employee motivation and performance. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 200 clergy members, both ministerial and non-ministerial. Out of 133 retrieved questionnaires, 108 were valid and analyzed using regression analysis with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings revealed that career development (β = 32.2%), on-site training (β = 18.8%), and off-site training (β = 14.9%) significantly influenced employee motivation at a 0.05 significance level, indicating that these human resource development practices were well implemented, though capable of further improvement. The study implies that management should give due attention to employee welfare, opinions, and initiatives—particularly among lower-level staff—as continuous career development and training opportunities enhance emotional commitment, motivation, and performance, thereby strengthening employees’ affective attachment to the organization
Peran Kepribadian Big Five dalam Memprediksi Tingkat Stres pada Pelamar Kerja
Get PDFPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji peran kepribadian Big Five dalam memprediksi tingkat stres pada pelamar kerja serta menelaah peran jenis kelamin sebagai variabel moderator. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif eksplanatori dengan desain regresi linear berganda dan moderasi. Populasi penelitian adalah pelamar kerja yang mengikuti proses seleksi di biro psikologi, dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 203 orang yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling berdasarkan kriteria usia produktif (18–42 tahun) dan pengalaman mengikuti seleksi kerja. Pengukuran kepribadian dilakukan menggunakan Big Five Inventory (BFI-44), sedangkan tingkat stres diukur dengan Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) versi modifikasi. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan regresi linear berganda dengan bantuan perangkat lunak JASP 0.19.3 untuk menguji kontribusi simultan dan parsial tiap dimensi kepribadian terhadap stres, serta uji interaksi untuk menilai efek moderasi jenis kelamin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model regresi signifikan (F = 4.096; p < 0.001) dengan kontribusi total sebesar 9,8% terhadap variasi stres. Secara parsial, Neuroticism berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap tingkat stres, sedangkan Conscientiousness berpengaruh negatif signifikan. Tiga dimensi lainnya (Extraversion, Agreeableness, dan Openness) tidak menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan. Selain itu, jenis kelamin tidak memoderasi hubungan antara kepribadian dan stres. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa stabilitas emosional dan disiplin diri merupakan faktor kepribadian utama yang menentukan kerentanan terhadap stres pada pelamar kerja
Sustainable Biodiesel Industry: A Techno-Economic Framework For Evaluating Biodiesel Production
Get PDFThis study evaluates the technical and economic aspects of the biodiesel industry, focusing on factors affecting production feasibility and industry sustainability. Secondary data for the analysis were sourced from published and Scopus-indexed research. The study identifies biodiesel characteristics, production processes, techno-economic aspects, and the biodiesel market. The analysis indicates that biodiesel has significant potential as an alternative to fossil fuels. It shares comparable energy density and cetane numbers with fossil diesel while providing superior lubrication properties and lower CO₂ emissions. Biodiesel transesterification achieves high efficiency with alkaline catalysts and feedstocks with low free fatty acid content, resulting in higher biodiesel yields. From an economic perspective, feedstock costs constitute 75–80% of the total biodiesel production cost, posing a major challenge due to the high price volatility of feedstocks in the market. Supportive policies for utilizing local and non-food feedstocks are necessary to reduce dependence on similar and relatively expensive raw materials. The financial sustainability of biodiesel production depends on production process efficiency and feedstock price stability. Economic feasibility is measured using indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). This knowledge provides valuable insights for developing more effective strategies in the biodiesel industry, supported by targeted policies that enhance both economic and environmental viability
