Union strike strategy and collective bargaining outcome are integral parts of industrial democracy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between wildcat strike and measures of collective bargaining outcome (Terms/conditions of employment, Workplace rules and grievance procedures) as elements of industrial democracy of petroleum marketing companies in Rivers State, Nigeria. The population of the study consists of all the 10 petroleum marketing companies under the petroleum downstream sector in Rivers State, Nigeria, while the sample size is the same as the population because it qualified as small. The correlation survey approach was adopted. The structured questionnaire was developed and 102 copies distributed to managers and union leaders of the 10 petroleum marketing companies in Rivers State, Nigeria. 93 copies were retrieved representing 91.18 percent but 88 copies were usable and represent 94.62 percent. Instruments for the study were tested using the convergence validity test and Cronbach alpha tool for validity and reliability respectively. Analysis included four stages. Bivariate hypotheses were tested using Spearman’s rank order correlation coefficient and the multivariate; using the bootstrapping tool. Results from the study show that there exist strong positive and significant relationship amongst wildcat strike and measures of collective bargaining outcome. The results also show that the environment is the parent organism and wildcat strike is the signal that alerts it to intervene and forestall or correct intolerable practices in industry. The study concludes that wildcat strike is the way of influencing or coercing management to the bargaining table when it does not want to; and an action to ensure timely and proper implementation of collective agreement. The study recommends that better and regular workers-management meetings should be enshrined, the study also recommends co-authorship of workplace rules between unions and managements, and that companies should resort to internal and external laid down procedures for settling disputes.

The financial performance of listed Manufacturing firms in Nigeria has been deteriorated considerably. There are other issues that could lead to the poor economic performance but the researchers are explicitly interested in investigating the impact of board diversity on the relationship between ownership structure and financial performance of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria from 2013 to 2022 financial years. The ownership structure variables used in this study are foreign ownership and concentrated ownership while the financial performance used is represented by return on assets (ROA), and the moderating variable is board diversity. The sample of the study is all the fifty (50) listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria that make up the population of the study. The study uses secondary data and multiple regressions for the purpose of this study. The findings of the study reveal that foreign ownership has a positive and insignificant effect on financial performance. However, concentrated ownership has a positive and significant effect on performance. Board diversity has a positive effect on the relationship between foreign ownership, concentrated ownership and financial performance. The researchers therefore recommend that Regulatory bodies of manufacturing firms such as Standard Organization of Nigeria should ensure that board diversity in listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria is composed in such a way as to ensure diversity of experiences without compromising compatibility, integrity and independence. Should ensure that the diversity of experience without compromising compatibility, integrity and independence.

This paper chiefly is focused on analyzing the disbursement system of Sri Lankan voluntary zaka¯h institutions. Although the institutionalization of zaka¯h has been in existence for several decades, its impact on the socio-economic condition of the Sri Lankan Muslim minority remains limited. According to some preliminary studies, the dominant consumption-oriented zaka¯h disbursement is a prime factor hampering the materialization of multiple socio-economic objectives of zaka¯h in the Sri Lankan pluralistic context. This study deployed the qualitative method along with content analysis to analyze the relevant data collected from the interviews and the existing literature on the subject. This study proposes that the current consumption-oriented distribution should be combined with the result-oriented distribution and carried out at all regional levels in a standard and well-planned manner that is capable to accommodate the investment and skill-oriented distributing systems. Such a hybrid mode of disbursement would contribute to realizing the broader objectives of zaka¯h for Muslim minorities in Sri Lanka.

Judges need to have accountability. It has been stated and observed that judges are not accountable for their judgments, orders and other judicial proceedings and they may pass the judgments, orders rightly or wrongly. In the way, an unfettered immunity has been granted to them for their actions in performing judicial actions in the name of judicial independence or judicial autonomy. Due to this, judges have become more independent, fearless since they are not accountable for their judicial judgments, orders and other judicial functions. Sometimes the judges may interpret the law wrongly and cause injustice rather than providing justice. An effort has been made to understand why there is need that the judges should be accountable and appraise it against number of benchmarks.

Lack of studies linking student support services and financial assistance, particularly the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) undergraduate scholarship, to college outcomes such as persistence has been one of the issues in STEM education in the Philippines. Even though previous findings have shown the clear impact of financial support on student success, local researchers have only focused on student satisfaction with the Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) and persistence. This is why the researchers decided to determine the relationship between the satisfaction of scholarship services provided by the DOST in terms of scholarship updates, support for scholars’ organizations and activities, staff assistance, support for scholarship-related problems, and scholarship benefits and college persistence components, namely: academic integration, social integration, support service satisfaction, degree commitment, institutional commitment, and academic conscientiousness. A descriptive-correlational design was utilized with a convenience sampling technique to select 67 DOST scholars as respondents. Self-reported assessments were used to measure the variables. The results show that the students were very satisfied with the scholarship services, and they are highly persistent in all indicators except academic conscientiousness. However, there is no significant relationship between satisfaction with scholarship services and college persistence. Studying other potential variables related to scholarship services and implementing policies to improve college persistence is recommended.

The study aimed to enhance the reading comprehension skills of Grade Five pupils using Reading Road Map. The study made use of quasi-experimental research design where an adopted-enhanced Reading Road Map was the primary datagathering instrument. One section of Grade Five Pupils, which is composed of forty-eight (48) pupils from Cabatang Elementary School contributed to the study. Percentage and weighted mean were used in the statistical analysis of data. Meanwhile, the study revealed in the mean pretest scores before using the Reading Road Map were the reading performance of the respondents falls under average in terms of sequencing of events, inferencing and noting significant details falls on good level and identifying the main idea belongs to the fair level only. Meanwhile, there were changes in the mean post-test of the respondents score. Despite the little improvement in the scores, the level of sequencing of events still falls under average level, inferencing and noting significant details still fall under good level. Identifying the main idea improves and falls under a good level. The little improvement in the mean score of the respondents indicates that somehow using Reading Road Map contributes to the reading comprehension skills of the respondents.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of communicative language teaching, such as content-based and task-Based instruction, in enhancing the speaking competence of grade 11 students in terms of fluency, vocabulary, grammatical accuracy, and pronunciation. The researcher hopes that the problems encountered in speaking might be alleviated through the studys outcomes and further promotes the use of the approaches used in this study. The use of these approaches paved the way to enhance further speaking competence in fluency, vocabulary, grammatical accuracy, and pronunciation. This might open doors to those students who are hesitant to express their ideas in speaking not only in English subjects but also in other disciplines. Through the studys findings, the possible approaches in further promoting these approaches will be clear and hopefully effective. Meanwhile, the studys findings on enhancing the students speaking competence using communicative language teaching resulted in significant differences in fluency and grammatical accuracy. Whereas in terms of vocabulary and pronunciation, no significant difference was found. The results revealed that in terms of speaking competence, students have improved. However, the results also show that vocabulary and pronunciation skills are the competence found to have found the least mastered by the students since they are still in the adjustment period from the pandemic. They needed to be given more exposure to the vocabulary and practiced their pronunciation skills.

COVID-19 pandemic required Grade 11 Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) students to study modularized Oral Communication in Context. Focusing on their specialization, while comprehending this subject independently, brought them learning difficulties. Delving into their experiences, this study sought to examine their self-directed learning strategies through qualitative-phenomenological method. With purposive sampling, the researchers selected self-directed participants as qualified ones for one-shot in-depth interview. Employing Colaizzi’s technique, the researchers analyzed and clustered responses into themes. Results revealed that students experienced subject learning difficulties, home learning environment distractions, concentration difficulties, independent learning adaptation, beneficial self-directed learning strategies, teacher’s valuable role, and optimism for the sake of educational benefits. Their self-directed learning strategies encompassed self-preparatory strategies, learning environment-preparatory strategies, technological learning strategies, non-technological learning strategies, information overloadmanagement strategies, time-management, and persistence-regulatory strategies. These inspired the researchers to craft self-directed learning strategy toolbox as students’ reference in overcoming the challenges. Further, this paper encouraged learning resource writers to ensure the contextualization of self-learning modules and teachers on the modification or delimitation of modular tasks. Finally, future researchers might also pursue a study on educational key players’ perspectives on these findings and evaluation of the toolbox.
