Item Governance, Corruption and Sustainable Development in Nigeria: A Sociological Explanation.(Department of Sociology, Nigeria Police Academy, Kano, 2019-09) Fagbamila, Olumide David; Aina, Monday; Orekoya OlawandeCorruption is seen as a social and economic problem that has permeated into every society world wide. Though its intensity and gravity varies from one country to the other, hardly is there a country that is free of corrupt practices. The upsurge in the perpetration of the act in Africa, especially in Nigeria, has reached alarming proportions. This is because virtually every institution in the country has been adversely affected; economy, politics, education, health among others and has obstructed the overall national development of the country. Unfortunately, our leaders (political and economic) have been at the fore front in the perpetration of this corrupt act. However, such high prevalence of corrupt practices in Nigeria cannot be divorced from the issue of governance in the country. The immediate past administration of Goodluck Jonathan (2011-2015) has been dented with poor governance coupled with lack of political will which in turn create suitable atmosphere for corruption to thrive in the country. The resultant effects thus manifest in the area of underdevelopment and decadence in virtually every part of Nigerian society which is currently a source of concern to Nigerians. This paper thus examines how bad governance aids corruption in Nigeria and how corruption in turn obstructs development in general. It explores social action theory and primitive accumulation of wealth theory in explaining the phenomenon of governance and corruption in Nigeria. It attempts to suggest some ways by which the country can be better governed as well as various ways through which corruption can be reduced to its barest minimum in Nigeria.Item SELF-EFFICACY AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIP AS DETERMINANTS OF PERCEIVED STRESS AMONG CIVIL SERVANTS IN OYO STATE *(Department of Business Administration, University of Ilorin, 2017-09) Popoola, O.A; Opayemi, A.S.; Oyeleke, J.S.; Fagbamila, Olumide David; Faworaja, O.R; Tejideen, T.O.Stress is a common experience of working class people and it has been the cause of diseases and death. Therefore, this study investigated self-efficacy and family relationship as determinants of perceived stress among civil servants in Oyo state. The study utilized cross-sectional survey design and made use of structured questionnaire to collect data from two hundred and fifty- five respondents among civil servants in government secretariat Ibadan. T-test for independent samples and multiple regression analysis was used at .05 level of significance and results indicated that self-efficacy predicted stress (t (225) =-8.648). Family relationship also significantly predicted perceived stress. t(255) =-11.756). Gender, educational qualification and job status jointly predicted perceived stress(R=.117, t=-2.611). There was significant main effect of self-efficacy on stress (F (1,223) =28.382), there was significant main effect on family relationship on stress (F (1,227) =23.272). Self-efficacy, family relationship, gender, educational qualification and job status were important factors in perceived stress among civil servants in Ibadan. The findings of this study implied that gender, age, marital status, educational qualification, job status and average income influences perceived stress. Also self-efficacy and family influence predicted stress respectively. Hence, Based on the best models in this study, it can be concluded that the relationship between self-efficacy and family influence is mediated by perceived stressed. Therefore, it is recommended that psycho-educational therapy should be an integral programme for them to help in reduction of stress.
