COMPENSATION Simply, compensation is an exchange for money or material things in place of service delivery or job done. To Edwin (1984), compensation attracts capable employees to an organization; motivates them for higher performance and retains their services over a long period of time. On another perspective Cole(1997) reasons that compensation is to reward employees for effort, loyalty, experience and achievement. Companies explore ways to compensate employees so as to retain their services. According to Cole, wages and salaries, pensions etc may take 60% of the ...

INTRODUCTION Personality is one significant source of individual differences in the way individuals interact with their environments and it affects numerous life outcomes, among which, one might suspect, is political behavior.   The mechanisms through which personality operates to affect political behavior are less clear. As a recent article points out,’’effort is needed to strengthen theories regarding the possible   significance of personality’’ [Mondak et al, 2010, p. 20]. These authors further suggest that personality can be expected   to influence political activity through its effect on other intermediary factors and by interaction with individual and contextual characteristics.

Introduction Accounting provides information for all these purposes through the maintenance of data, the analysis and interpretation of these data, and the preparation of various kinds of reports. Most accounting information is historical—that is, the accountant observes all activities that the organization undertakes, records their effects, and prepares reports summarizing what has been recorded; the rest consists of forecasts and plans for current and future periods. Accounting is the systematic development and analysis of information about the economic affairs of an organization . This information may be used in a number of ways: by a firm's managers to help them plan and control ongoing operations; by owners and legislative or regulatory bodies to help them appraise the organization's performance and make decisions as to its future; by owners, lenders, suppliers, employees, and others to help them decide how much time or money to devote to the company; by governmen...

Introduction The average Nigerian farmers still produces crops and livestock at a subsistence level, and this low productivity stems partly from inadequate support from the government. At the same, the continuing increase in the size of the nation’s population has created high demand for food which was not being met with existing traditional technologies. This has caused the government of Nigeria to establish several agricultural development projects to increase food productivity and subsequently, the welfare of the rural farmers (Adejo, 1983; Umar, 2005; Dennis, 2007; Omonona, 2009). Some of these programs include Operation Feed the Nation (OFN), Green Revolution, National Accelerated Food Production Program (NAFPP), River Basin and Rural Development Authority (RBRDA) and Agricultural Development Projects (ADPs).

INTRODUCTION: The key word in our theme is acknowledging. Simply put, to acknowledge means “declare to be true or admit the existence or reality or truth of something. A God fearing person would necessarily admit God to be the source of his blessings and on the other hand the only source that can alter his or her adverse situations. Job in responding to his wife’s counsel attested that man shall experience good and evil times at the hand of God, (Job 2:10b). Jesus Christ acknowledged the supremacy of God, as he declared, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt, (Mark 14:36). As Christians, we are here instructed to surrender wholly unto God’s will. Very few people confess God as the source of their outstanding performance or wealth.
