ABSTRACT

The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of workforce diversity management on organisational performance in the context of Bule Hora University, Ethiopia with a particular emphasis on management of age, gender, ethnicity, educational background, cultural diversity, and religion diversity. Data from a sample of 362 people with a response rate of 97.2% was collected using a questioner to fulfil the study’s goal. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect primary data, while published articles, journals, and research documents were reviewed to gather secondary data. After that, the SPSS software version 26.0 descriptive was used to analyze the data. Inferential statistics were employed to show the link between the independent and dependent variables, and statistics like frequencies, means, standard deviations, and percentages were used to describe the sample. The results show that management of age diversity, gender diversity, ethnic diversity, educational diversity, cultural diversity, and religion diversity has a statistically significant relationship with organisational success. In order to demonstrate their commitment to diversity and inclusion, higher education institutions should have a clear policy that is communicated to all relevant parties including the general public.

Keywords: Diversity, Cultural Diversity, Diversity Management, Workforce Diversity Management

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to provide a conceptual framework and determine the factors influencing deposit mobilisation in Ethiopia’s commercial banks using the literature that is currently accessible. The bank’s yearly incremental deposit plan, which calls for the easy mobilisation of a sizable sum of money from the communities, is no longer the optimum method for undertaking deposit mobilisation. The literature relating to factors influencing deposit mobilisation at Ethiopia’s commercial banks is presented in this overview of the literature. As a result, there are three sections to the literature review. The introduction linked to overviews of deposit mobilisation in Ethiopian commercial banks and factors affecting deposit mobilisation are covered in the first portion of the literature review. The second portion looks at empirical concerns regarding the factors influencing deposit mobilisation. The conceptual framework for deposit mobilisation is shown in the third section, followed by the literature gap of the evaluated literature. Researchers framed the conceptual framework for the research’s future course using the most recent available literature.

Keywords: Deposit Mobilization, Lagged value of deposit, Economic Growth, Interest Rate

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the difficulties faced by female business owners in the Bule Hora town administration in Ethiopia’s Horn of Africa. Due to problems with how women are regarded, treated, and considered to be, there is a difference between women who are inactive and those who have potential. The researchers used a qualitative research design and an interpretative research technique. The researchers spoke with eight female business owners who were engaged in the company’s founding. The purposive sample strategy was used to gather primary data from the respondent using a structured interview. For the analysis of qualitative data, thematic data analysis was used. The primary conclusions of the study showed that social and cultural barriers, lack of money, a lack of adequate employment prospects, a lack of expertise, and lack of training were the biggest challenges for women entrepreneurs in the study area. The study’s conclusions will help the government as it updates its policies to address organisational, individual, legal/administrative, economic, social/cultural, and other aspects that affect how women entrepreneurs view entrepreneurship.

Keywords: Entrepreneurship; Entrepreneurial Challenges; Entrepreneurs; Female Entrepreneurs; Perception.

ABSTRACT

In order to investigate the movement of monetary aggregate in Cambodia, a system of equations known as the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model was adopted. The model included four endogenous variables, namely broad money, inflation rate, exchange rate, and interest rate. The study period covered from January 2002 to March 2023. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller test indicated that the money supply and consumer price index series were integrated of order one, I(1), while the exchange rate and interest rate were integrated of order zero, I(0). To avoid spurious results, all data series were transformed to first differences and the VAR model was run. The optimal lag length of the model was determined to be one lag, as indicated by the Schwarz Information Criterion. The impulse response function revealed that inflation rate had a positive impact on the movement of monetary aggregate, while exchange rate depreciation had a negative impact on monetary aggregate. In contrast, the movement of interest rate had a less significant influence on money supply. The forecast error variance decomposition over twelve months into the future showed that the variation of monetary aggregate was mainly explained by exchange rate fluctuation, followed by inflation rate, and the least variation was caused by interest rate.

Keywords: Monetary Agreegate, Inflation Rate, Exchange Rate, Interest Rate, VAR Model
