Opis:
To achieve ergonomics awareness in 3 subsidiary companies, an intervention team was formed. The aims of this study were to implement basic ergonomics through a participatory ergonomics intervention process that can support a continuous learning process and lead to an improvement in health and safety as well as in the work systems in the organization. The findings of this study (i.e., method, continuous learning and integration) were key to making the participatory ergonomics intervention successful. Furthermore, 4 issues of the ergonomics checkpoints (i.e., work schedules, work tasks, healthy work organization and learning) for assessing the work system were found suitable for both changing work schedules and for improving the work system. This paper describes the result of this project and also the experiences gained and the conclusions reached from using the International Labour Office’s ergonomics checkpoints in the industries of industrially developing countries.

Opis:
Smallholder farmers in the region of Sub-Saharan Africa have begun to participate in global supply chains through applying contract farming (CF). The main aims of this paper are: to present a typology of CF and to describe the contract farming in Sub-Saharan African countries. This article has synthesised the fi ndings from contract farming agreements in Sub-Saharan African countries to form a conceptual framework of the determinants and dynamics of farmers’ participation in CF agreements. This article can be treated as an introduction to a complex comparative study of the Sub-Saharan African CF schemes and may spur further integrative analysis of the transformation in agriculture in developing countries.
Małorolni producenci w regionie Afryki Subsaharyjskiej mają szanse włączenie się do globalnych łańcuchów dostaw przez kontraktacje. Celami opracowania są: przedstawienie typologii kontraktowania w rolnictwie i charakterystyka umów kontraktowych stosowanych w Afryce Subsaharyjskiej. Artykuł jest syntezą literatury dotyczącej rolnictwa kontraktowego w Afryce Subsaharyjskiej i tworzy ramy koncepcyjne dla dalszych rozważań dotyczących kontraktowania na badanym obszarze. Opracowanie można traktować jako wprowadzenie do kompleksowego badania porównawczego różnych rodzajów kontraktowania w Afryce Subsaharyjskiej i systemów umów stosowanych w rolnictwie krajów rozwijających się.

Opis:
Aim/purpose – Exchange rate volatility has remained a serious issue affecting economic stability, especially in developing countries. Thus, this study aimed at examining the impact of exchange rate volatility on economic growth in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach – The study employed the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model and the system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique to analyse the time series data from the period January 1980 to December 2017. The study used the Augmented Dickey–Fuller and Philips–Perron tests to determine the presence of a unit root and the Johansen co-integration test to establish the relationship among the variables in the study. Findings – The results of the estimates offer evidence that exchange rate volatility persists throughout the study period, and has a negative and significant effect on the economic growth of Nigeria. This result suggests that excessive volatility due to low inflows is inimical to the growth of the Nigeria economy. The findings of the study demonstrate a negative and significant relationship between inflation and economic growth. Moreover, while credit to the private sector and crude oil prices exerts positive and significant relationship with growth, the relationship between money supply, trade openness and government expenditure and economic growth is positive but insignificant. Research implications/limitations – Therefore, it is important for the government to pursue policies and programs that would help ensure exchange rate stability and boost local production for both consumption and export. In addition, a holistic program of economic reforms is important to complement the exchange rate policy and stimulate economic growth. Originality/value/contribution – The study shed some light on exchange rate volatility and confirmed its adverse effect and the importance of a stable environment on economic growth. In addition, the study introduced crude oil prices as a variable to the study of exchange rate volatility and economic growth from a developing country perspective.

Opis:
Purpose: While the product-market typology model seems to be best understood and widely embraced by large corporates, it is less noticeable among many small businesses. This article adopts the aforementioned framework to identify and empirically analyze impactful strategies on various measures of growth associated with rural Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) in South Africa. Methodology: Using data from a survey of a probability sample of 148 owner-managed small businesses, Exploratory Factor Analysis test was conducted to test for internal scale consistency of the data. In the analysis: six predictor variables formed the growth strategies, while growth measures comprised three variables, then fitted into a prepared regression model. Results: The regression model reveals the use and implementation of market penetration and pricing strategies which have a positive and significant impact on the SMME’s growth. Findings further suggest that – while the gender of the owner-manager has no influence on the growth of the SMMEs – immigrant SMMEs seem to perform better compared to ventures owned by other race categories. Overall growth of SMMEs is generally more driven by customer base, competitive advantage, and customer satisfaction. Implications: The implication for rural SMMEs amid the uncertainties and challenges in the developing economies, is that certain strategies act as a catalyst for growth and performance. The findings may be used to develop policies that promote entrepreneurship in South Africa and other developing countries. Originality/value: The paper’s unique contribution is that virtually no study yet attempted to apply the product-market typology model holistically to investigate its influence on the growth of rural SMMEs in a developing country.

Opis:
Travel behaviour studies in activity-based perspective treat travel as a result of individual’s desire to participate in different activities. This approach is more significant in the context of developing countries, as the transportation problems are more severe here. Since, commuters contribute to a major share in the travel, understanding their travel behaviour is essential. This paper aims to explore the travel behaviour of commuters in Calicut city, Kerala State, India and thereby model their activity-travel patterns. Household, personal and activity-travel information from 12920 working people and 9684 students formed the database for this study. The data collection was performed by means of home-interview survey by face-to-face interview technique. From preliminary analysis, several simple and complex tours were identified for the study area. Working people’s work participation and students’ education activity participation decision are modelled as mandatory activity participation choice in a binary logit modelling framework. Results of this mandatory activity participation model revealed that male workers are more likely to engage in work compared to females. Presence of elderly persons is found to negatively influence the work participation decisions of workers. This may be due to the fact that, work activity may be partially or completely replaced with the medical requirements of the elderly. The chances for work activity participation increase with increase in number of two-wheelers at home. In the case of students, as the education level increases, they are found to be less likely to participate in education activities. Students are observed to follow simple activity-travel pattern. Complex tours are found to be performed by males, compared to females. Activity-travel pattern of the study group are predicted using the developed models. The percentages correctly predicted indicate reasonably good predictability for the models. These kind of studies are expected to help the town planners to better understand city’s travel behaviour and thus to formulate well-organised travel demand management policies.

This research aims to explore the dimension of perceived service quality of youth public transport passengers. This research is important due to the lack of research that focuses on perceived service quality of youth public transport passengers. This research employed quantitative research methodology. Survey was performed in order to gather research data. The respondents are 233 youth public transport passengers in Bogor and Tangerang, Indonesia. Exploratory factor analysis, validity analysis, and reliability analysis were conducted. The research results show that there are three dimensions of perceived service quality of youth public transport passengers. The dimensions are comfort, performance, and assurance.

Opis:
The global demand for organic foods has inspired the academicians and practicing professionals to explore consumer purchase behavior in this sector. The multiple promises that organic foods hold for the future – like sustainable food production, food safety, food security, nutrition and reduction of green-house gases – all might have influenced the recent rise of behavioral research in the organic food sector. Interestingly, Bangladesh has been a producer of organic foods since the early ‘80s; however, only a handful of studies could be traced that actually studied consumer behavior in this sector. The current paper explored the important roles that organic foods might play in Bangladesh, synthesized findings of past studies under Bangladesh context, and justified probable areas that might be investigated in future. Therefore, plausible gaps were explored in the existing literature pertaining to Bangladesh context and a tentative research agenda for future researchers was proposed.

Opis:
Z jednej strony autor pisze o altruistach i wizjonerach, promotorach pomocy rozwojowej takich jak William MacAskill, który uważa, że "każdy z nas ma moc, aby czynić nadzwyczajne rzeczy" (s. 17), Jeffrey Sachs1, którego zdaniem "skupianie się na liczbach, na mierzalności oraz grupach kontrolnych to redukowanie życia istot ludzkich do abstrakcji, do czysto ekonomicznych pojęć" (s. 33), czy prof. Nicolas Negroponte, który wierzy, że świat można zmienić na lepszy. Z drugiej prezentuje podejścia krytyczne, w tym liberała Williama Easterly'ego ("Powodem porażki polityki rozwojowej była oderwana od życia ideologia" [s. 121]) oraz Paula Colliera, profesora oksfordzkiego uniwersytetu, znanego z dość kontrowersyjnych poglądów (dopuszcza zewnętrzną, pomocowo-humanitarną, interwencję zbrojną). Opisując głosy krytyczne, Leszczyński zwraca uwagę na jedną istotną rzecz: "uderzające jest jak wielu krytyków pomocy rozwojowej należy do elit krajów, które są jej odbiorcami" (s. 233). I nie są to tylko ekonomiści. (fragment tekstu)
