Work engagement is a crucial determinant of university academic staff performance and ultimately of the quality of the provided tertiary education. It is therefore imperative to explore the principal factors it is contingent upon. Equally important is the congruence or the best fit between the personal values and organizational commitment along with the effect of the organizational citizenship behaviour on the work engagement level of the academic staff in South-West Nigerian Universities, which, in turn, provide the appropriate basis for a proper set of recommendations to be developed and put forward to the respective stakeholders. A sample of 382 staff was chosen from the broad range of public universities in South-West Nigeria through the stratified random sampling technique. Use was made of the following data collection tools: the Demographic Data Inventory (DDI), Work Engagement Scale (WES), Organizational Citizenship Behaviour Checklist (OCBC), Personal Values Scale (PVS), and...

IntroductionThis study investigated the efficacy of cognitive behavioral group therapy on aggression among adolescents in secondary schools, Ibadan metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria.MethodThe study employed a pretest-post-test quasi-experimental research design. Participants included 160 secondary school adolescents from four randomly selected public secondary schools who were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups for this study. Aggressive Behavior Questionnaire by Buss and Perry was used to collect data for the participants. All the formulated hypotheses were tested using the Analysis of Covariant (ANCOVA).ResultsResults revealed that the treatment was effective in treating adolescents’ aggressive behavior. Furthermore, findings revealed that the moderating variables (gender and socio-economic background) did not individually have significant effects on the aggressive behavior of adolescents. The two-way interaction of gender and socio-economic background had no signific...

Social phobia is a mental health problem that has been repeatedly linked with adolescents. This study therefore investigated the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) on social phobia among secondary school adolescents in Oyo State, Nigeria. The study adopted a pretest – posttest control group quasi experimental design. The sample comprised of 104 secondary school adolescents identified with some levels of social phobia from the two randomly selected schools among the three senatorial districts of Oyo State. The selected students, grouped by schools and subsequently, treatment groups, were 51 and 53 for the control and experimental groups, respectively. The experimentation spanned a period of eight weeks, with ACT administered to the experimental group and placebo of leadership styles administered to the control group. The Social Phobia Inventory (SPI) was adopted and used for screening and in pretest and posttest stages. A statistical hypothesis was formulated and tes...

This paper examined job demands and mental strain relationship: The moderating effect of perceived organizational support on the mediating role of job decision latitude among Nigeria immigration officers.

Social phobia is a mental health problem that has been repeatedly linked with adolescents. The main objective of the advanced paper, therefore, is to explore the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) on social phobia among 13secondary school adolescentsin the three senatorial districts of Oyo state, Nigeria. The research design adopted for the present study was a pretest-posttest control group quasi experimental layout. The sample comprised 104 secondary school adolescents that have been rated as experiencing different levels of social phobia from the two randomly selected schools among the three senatorial districts of Oyo State. The selected students, grouped by schools and subsequently, treatment groups, were 51 and 53 for the control and experimental groups, respectively. The experimentation spanned a period of eight weeks, with ACT administered to the experimental group and placebo of leadership styles administered to the control group. The Social Phobia Inventory (SPI) was adopted and used for screening and in pretest and posttest stages. A statistical hypothesis was formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance by means of the Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). It was found that treatment with ACT significantly reduced the level of social phobia among school-going adolescents. ACT was therefore recommended for use in relieving school-going adolescents suffering from social phobia.
