(UNIBEN Journal of Human Resource Management, 2025) Igbinoba, Ebeguki; Adejumo, Babafemi Adesina; Falola, Hezekiah O.
The involvement of employees in the decision making process in any organisations grants them some level of control in order to determine how they work and under what conditions they work. Thus, the goal of this study was to examine the influence of employees‘ participation on decision-making process and performance of two selected public hospitals in Nigeria. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 350 respondents. 284 copies of questionnaire representing 81% were returned and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings showed that improvement in the performance of public hospitals is a function of employee involvement, consultation, delegation and joint decision-making. However, the significance level differs relatively as all the variables considerably influence the performance of the two public hospitals used. The study confirms that workers have a favourable disposition toward decision-making and desire to participate in management decision-making process anytime the opportunity arises. The study concludes that organisations will benefit more from their employees taking part in the decision-making process. It also recommends that more internal communications channels be established to facilitate better information flow and that, organisations should invest in the professional development of their employees so as to improve their ability to make sound decisions.

(International Journal of Entrepreneurship Vol: 26 Issue: 5, 2022) Omolade, Ayoyimika; Ogunnaike, Olaleke; Igbinoba, Ebeguki; Ezema, Mary
Sustainable agriculture has great potential to preserve the environment, ensure gender balanced growth and encourage positive changes to help achieve some sustainable development goals by the year 2030. However, unsustainable agricultural practices like bush burning have led to pollution, deforestation and land degradation over the years. However, education is very important for better environmental performance. This paper aims to examine the effect of educational empowerment on environmental performance among female farmers in South West Nigeria. Questionnaire was distributed to 508 female farmers. The Path coefficient of 0.688 showed that educational empowerment has a considerable influence on environmental performance. While R 2 value of 0.474 means that 47.4% variance in environmental performance can be explained by educational empowerment. The study concludes female farmers will be environmentally friendly if they have access to regular training on sustainable agricultural practices. Hence, it is recommended that female farmers should organize suitable training and find ways of reaching extension workers to sensitize them on sustainable farm practices and climate adaptation methods that promote environmental performance.
