Title | : | Motivational Factors |

Abstract: As in my opinion each employee is different rather each individual is different. In this paper I have categorized employees in three parts according to their needs and behavior and have set different motivational factors for each type. Like American psychologist, Abraham Maslow gave his Hierarchy of needs model, he has suggested that human has five level of needs. Given below is the pyramid of needs by Maslow: Maslow argued that people try to satisfy their lower order needs before their higher level needs [2]. Therefore, each employee falls in different level of needs in my opinion and needs are responsible for different behavior and attributes of employees and thus leader has to act differently in order to meet individual's needs. Therefore, the motivational factors for different employees should be different. I have emphasized on the fact that different set of motivational factors work for different employee in this paper and categorized employees in three different types but I would also like to emphasize on the fact that leader should not differentiate between his employees as clearly stated in Equity theory of motivation, developed in the early 1960's by J. Stacey Adams, motivation can be affected through an individual's perception of fair treatment in social exchanges.

Abstract: The study investigated the impact of foreign direct investment in Nigeria. The study employs the cointegration ad error correction mechanism to verify the nature of long run and short run relationship between growth of Nigeria and foreign direct investment. The result indicates that foreign direct investment has both long run and short run significant impacts on the growth of Nigeria. However, among all the variables used exchange rate also proved to have a short run significant impact on the growth of Nigeria and the relationship indicates that currency appreciation might not promote the growth of Nigeria at least in the short run. The policy implication is that efforts to stimulate growth of Nigeria through FDI should be supported with exchange rate policy that will make naira to be over-valued as this may squeeze out the tradable sector of the economy.

Abstract: The study provides the level of corporate social responsibility disclosure of the Indian Banking Sector. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting information of Indian Banks in public as well as private sector as well as foreign banks operating in India and explores the potential effects of financial characteristics on CSR disclosure.The annual reports of all the banks for the year 2009-2010 are examined to analyse the banks' CSR reporting practice. An index comprising of 27 indicators is prepared and each bank's annual report is analysed for the items under the different categories. If a banking company discloses an item of information in the annual report, then "1" will be awarded and if the item is not disclosed then "0" will be awarded. Thereafter each bank's corporate social responsibility reporting index (CSRRI) is measured. It also considers the impact of three financial characteristics viz. profitability, gearing and size. The multiple regressions were used to measure the impact of financial characteristics on banks' CSR reporting initiatives. The results of the study demonstrate that though voluntary, overall CSR reporting by Indian Banks are rather moderate. The results also displayed no significant relationship between gearing and CSR reporting in Indian Banks. Profitability and size of the bank have been found to have significant impact on the CSR reporting. Whereas in case of foreign banks all the factors have a role to play. The study is the primary to investigate CSR reporting practices coupled with the impact of financial characteristics in the specific context of banking sectors in the developing country such as India.
