DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4656

ABSTRACT: The type of qualitative research through a phenomenological approach, while the results of the research show that catching fish carried out by traditional fishermen still uses very simple equipment, this activity is still centered in the coastal area which is relatively still reached by small boats without using engines, of course the results obtained are very much different when compared to using modern boats, traditional fishermen's activities are limited to household consumption and if there is more it can be sold at relatively cheap prices, the sea products obtained are generally small so that traditional fishermen often have economic problems, for that fishermen make efforts to seek additional income even though what is obtained is far from enough.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4663

ABSTRACT: The fast pace of globalization and the accelerated growth in borderless transactions have brought about unprecedented shift from the local accounting standards application to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption. It therefore remained unclear whether the usage of any of the two has correlation with the quality of financial reports particularly in the Nigerian Banking sector. This study therefore investigated the pair-wise correlational analysis of accounting standards and quality of financial reports of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. Out of the 17 listed deposit money banks in Nigeria, 7 was judgmentally selected. The population of the preparers (reporting accountants) of the financial reports was 408 out of which 200 respondents were purposefully selected for the study. Survey research design was used and the primary data were obtained through self-administered structured questionnaires. 130 copies of the questionnaires were retrieved and eventually used for the analysis. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMC) was used to determine the pair-wise correlation between the accounting standards adoption and the quality of financial reports of the deposit money banks in Nigeria for the two accounting standard regimes. The results show that the relationship between comparability, uniformity, relevance, verifiability and dependability and the quality of financial reports were negligible and even sometimes negative with the coefficients of correlation of -0.053, 0.20, 0.13, -10.3 and -0.85 respectively except for the faithful representation which has a very strong positive relationship with the quality of financial reports with correlation coefficient of 0.85 during the rules-based accounting standards era. Meanwhile, the correlation coefficient values of 0.72 and 0.74 with p-value = .000 at 0.05 level of significance each for both verifiability and faithful representation respectively during the principlesbased accounting standards era. It was therefore concluded that accounting standards have more correlation with the quality of the financial reports of the deposit money banks in Nigeria during the application of principlesbased accounting standards than that of rules-based accounting standard era. The study recommended that the accounting standards setter and the regulatory body such as Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRC) should ensure strict adherence to the rules of engagement in the application of the principles-based accounting standards to reap the benefit inherent in its usage and achieve the much-desired quality of financial reports in the banking sector in Nigeria.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4665

ABSTRACT: Indonesia, in its taxation system, uses a self-assessment taxation system, making taxpayer compliance an important factor for meeting tax targets. The government, in an effort to carry out reforms in digitizing its tax system, continues to this day to create a more efficient tax system. The existence of a more efficient tax administration system can make it easier for taxpayers to understand the tax system so that increased taxpayer compliance will arise. Therefore, compliance with paying taxes by taxpayers is highly expected by the government, especially for individual taxpayers. Research that raises the issue of the relationship between digitalization and taxation Taxpayer compliance has indeed been carried out a lot, but the results obtained are not always consistent. Then this research adding a moderating variable to the inconsistent results of previous studies. This study uses a moderator variable, namely belief in the law of karma. This is because individuals who have faith in the law of karma may view fulfilling tax obligations as part of their moral responsibility and ethical behavior. This belief can influence their behavior in complying with tax rules, carrying out honest reporting, and paying taxes properly. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of belief in the law of karma in the relationship between digitalization of taxation and taxpayer compliance of MSME owners. The test sample for this research is individual taxpayers who own MSMEs throughout Bali. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire distributed to 100 respondents. The data analysis technique uses the residual test which aims to test the deviation of a moderating research model. The results of this study indicate that digitization of taxation has a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance and belief in the law of karma can strengthen the relationship between digitalization of taxation and taxpayer compliance of MSME owners.

ABSTRACT: China and North African economic relations are expanding rapidly as both an important trading partner and increasingly as an investor into the region. The main objective of this study is to examine the determinants of Chinese FDI in selected North African countries of Egypt, Sudan and Morocco between 2002 and 2020. The study employed standard OLS and standard date panel techniques which enabled us to differentiate between efficiency effects of fixed and random effects. The results of the analysis indicated that market size, openness and inflation rate were found to be positively related to Chinese FDI inflows with the coefficient of openness significant. The indicators of institutional quality namely control of corruption and government effectiveness were found to be positively related to Chinese FDI inflows with coefficients significant. Furthermore, political stability, regulatory quality, and rule of law were found to be negatively related to Chinese FDI inflows with their coefficients significant. Voice and accountability is found to be negative and insignificant. The result for DEBT is found to be negatively related to Chinese FDI inflows with coefficient significant. The results revealed that geographical distance between sampled North African countries and China does not encourage Chinese FDI inflows. Based on the results, this study concludes that improvement in the institutional quality, and enacting policies that facilitates open economy and helps moderates inflation rate are keys to spurring Chinese FDI inflows to the selected North African countries.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4679

ABSTRACT: As the trend indicates that students are becoming less interested in pursuing STEM fields in school, concerns over student involvement and participation in STEM education at schools are growing. This is made worse by the fact that 72.1 percent of SPM students decide against continuing their education in the future. Due to this circumstance, the nation's capacity to give expertise in STEM and vocational training won't be able to keep up with market demand and the advancement of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The constraints and challenges faced by the Science teachers had been investigated from this study. A total of 168 secondary school teachers teaching in the field of Science in the Manjung district had been chosen as respondents in this study to identify the challenges faced by them in conducting STEM education. The descriptive analysis showed that 62.5% respondents agreed that school infrastructure is the main issues faced by these teachers in implementing STEM education. Good internet coverage and working equipment to help teachers in delivering STEM activities through online platform is still lacking in many schools. Research findings also have shown that the constraints and challenges faced by teachers in STEM education is at an average level (M: 3.176, SD:0.5264).

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4682

ABSTRACT: Advancement in the world economy have increased both the importance of external debts and the problem of debt accumulation by Sub-Saharan African (SSA) nations which rely on external borrowing for their economic development. The present study ascertained the effect of tax revenue on external long term debt stock of Sub-Saharan African countries and investigated the control effect of inflation, exchange rate and corruption on the impact of tax revenue on external long term debt stock (ELTDS) of SSA countries. Ex-post facto research design was adopted in testing and analyzing a dynamic panel estimated with system General Method of Movements (GMM) data set for the period 1990 to 2020 on 23 countries in SSA. Dynamic panel data was adopted because it uses lag of the regressors on the data set to eliminate weakness. The study found that lag of external long term debt stock is significantly affected by lag of Custom, Import and Export Duties (LCIED), lag of Taxes on Product (LTXP) and lag of Taxes on Goods and Services (LVAT) (J-stat 15.85 = 0.726, ρ > 0.1). Exchange rate, inflation and corruption had significant control on the effect of tax revenue and external long term debt stock (J-stat 22.862 = 0.154, ρ > 0.1) globally. With regards to considered individual Ρ-value, the outcome was slightly differed; Lag of ELTDS was positively and significantly controlled by INF while EXR and CRP negatively and insignificantly controlled LELTDS of SSA countries. The study concluded that tax revenue improved financing of external long term debt stock of SSA countries. It was therefore recommended that governments of SSA nations ought to be strategic in maintaining sustainable external long term debt stock portfolio as the present debt to tax revenue ratio of SSA countries is below the world benchmark which is unsustainable and adversely affects their economies.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4683

ABSTRACT: Goals Attainment (GA) seems to be unattainable in Nigerian Federal Universities (NFUs). The tenure of numerous academic leaders is passing with little or no contribution to effective teaching, quality research and impactful community service. Successors of these leaders appear not to have an antecedence to follow. Over the years, most academic leaders in universities face challenges of time limit to achieve missions and visions statement. The study therefore examined the relationship between leadership tenure and GA in NFUs. The paper adopted correlational survey research design with a study population of 6,034 academic staff. The sample size for this study consisted of 422 academic staff using purposive sampling technique and a proportionate to size sampling technique. Goal Attainment Questionnaire (GAQ) and Leadership Tenure Questionnaire (LTQ) were instruments used for the study. The reliability coefficient of 0.93 and 0.87 were found using Cronbach Alpha method of testing reliability respectively. Research questions were answered using descriptive statistics of frequency counts, simple percentages, mean and standard deviation while research hypothesis was tested using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. The result showed that level of GA in NFUs was found to be on high side. The finding also revealed that emphasis is placed on two-year term for directors, acting head of departments and deans of faculties while four-year tenure was considered for head of departments and deputy vice-chancellors respectively. The result also considers vice-chancellors to stay in office for five years. The finding equally revealed that there is significant relationship between leadership tenure and GA in federal universities in Southwestern Nigeria. Effective teaching, quality research and impactful community service should continue to be improved upon by the university management if NFUs are to meet up with international academic standards and best practices. Effort should be put in place by policy makers to ensure that the term used in office or key positions in the university should be in accordance with the university laws if missions and visions of the university are to be attained.

36. CHINA-AFRICA FOREIGN INVESTMENT INTERACTIONS: THE ROLE OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES

1 Oghenebrume D. Akatugba *2 Christopher O. Orubu *3 Peter C. Egbon

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4691

ABSTRACT: This paper is about China-African foreign investment interactions. The purpose of this study is to examine the role natural resource and critical infrastructure play in attracting FDI from China. The underlying hypothesis has been tested repeatedly without reaching a consensus view or providing an answer to the basic questions. This is to be expected because FDI from China to Africa is determined by a large number of factors, making the results sensitive to the selected set of explanatory variables. Design/methodology/approach-The study employs cross-sectional sample of the variables covering 10 selected African countries respectively, employing standard ordinary least squares to estimate the relationship hypothesized with the longitudinal data sets, within the context of gravity modelling. Thereafter, standard data panel techniques were employed which enabled us to differentiate between efficiency effects of fixed and random effects, taking into account robust standard errors which accounted for endogeneity, homoscedasticity and autocorrelation. Findings-The study provides empirical evidence that does not support internationalization theory. The result of empirical analysis indicates that NATRES, EDU, ITT and INFR play key roles in China-Africa foreign investment interactions. Their coefficients were found to be statistically significant. Also, empirical result indicates that the coefficient of NATRES is positive, while that of EDU, ITT, and INFR were negative. The study concludes that, African countries with natural resources, high labour participation rates, in need of critical infrastructures, and sound macroeconomics conditions such as low inflation rates are important to facilitate better China-Africa foreign investment interactions. Originality/value-The analytical foundation of the study is based on Dunning (1980) eclectic macroeconomic theory and the model adopted for this study is predicated on Dinkneh & Jiang (2020), which is the modified form of the original gravity model presented by Tinbergen (1962). The study emphasis shifted from significance as implied by empirical analysis, to robustness checks based on other qualitative indicators as derived by the authors in reaching conclusions regarding China-African foreign investments interactions.

ABSTRACT: Education plays a crucial role in transforming lives and building better futures for individuals and their communities worldwide. The purpose of the study was to assess the role of teacher motivation in determining academic performance of secondary school learners in Kenya. The paper is an extract of a study conducted in public secondary schools in Katulani Sub-County, Kenya. Robert House's Path-goal Theory of Leadership guided the study and descriptive survey research design was utilized. The sample size comprised 18 principals selected purposively and 73 teachers chosen using stratified and simple random sampling techniques. Questionnaires were used to gather data from principals and teachers. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics done with the assistance of SPSS. The findings revealed a strong positive relationship between teacher motivation and learners' academic performance. The study concluded that motivating teachers is vital in projecting learner's performance in all schools since motivated teachers increase their efforts in assisting students to improve their academic performance. It was recommended that the Ministry of Education should include a motivation fee in fees guidelines which principals could use to solicit money from parents for awarding monetary and material incentives to well-performing teachers. Further, the principals should request for more teachers from the Teachers' Service Commission to ensure manageable workload for teachers. Moreover, the Ministry of Education should enact policies on teacher professional development to ensure that all teachers attend professional development courses to acquaint themselves with skills for adding value to the learners' academic performance.
