    International Journal of Electronic Marketing and Retailing, 2026
    This study examines the direct effect of multi-level marketing (MLM) reward systems, time flexibility in MLM business on distributors' retention and moderating role of distributors' job satisfaction on the relationship between MLM reward systems and time flexibility in MLM business and distributor's retention. In this study, survey method was conducted with a sample size of 384 respondents across the total population of MLM distributors, which was analysed using PLS-SEM version 4.0.3.9. The findings of this study established that, the relationship between perceived attractiveness of MLM reward systems and distributors' retention was supported, while that of time flexibility in MLM business reported an insignificant relationship, hence, rejected. Furthermore, the results revealed that distributor's job satisfaction moderate the relationship between MLM reward system and distributor's retention. Additionally, distributor's JS does not moderate the association between time flexibility in MLM business and distributors' retention.
  • Personal value, employee impact and service quality delivery: the mediating role of organizational citizenship behavior
    Muhammad Shaheer Nuhu, Kaltume Mohammed Kamselem, Maryam Mustapha, Mohammed Sani Abdullahi
    International Journal of Quality and Service Sciences, 2025
    Purpose This study aims to examine how employee empowerment (personal value and impact) influences the delivery of services quality (SQD). The study focused in particular on the mediating effects of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) on the link between employee empowerment (EE), personal value, employee impact and SQD. Design/methodology/approach A total of 310 survey questionnaires were completed by the nursing employees working in the public hospitals in Nigeria. SEM-PLS was used to carry out the statistical analysis. Findings The findings of the study revealed that EE (personal value and employee impact) and OCB significantly affect SQD. The findings also indicate that OCB mediates the link between SQD and personal value, employee impact and SQD. Practical implications The results of this study shed light on the influence of employee personal value and impact and its influence on SQD. Public hospitals should therefore concentrate on recognizing, comprehending and implementing employee empowerment to improve employee nurses’ capacity to achieve higher SQD. Along with how the accepted hypotheses are confirmed, the implications of these findings for theory and practice are also discussed. Originality/value Even though SQD has become a well-developed theoretical concept, previous research has rarely addressed the framework suggested for the present study, particularly when it comes to health care. In the context of public health sector settings, this study may be the first to examine the mediating role of OCB between personal values, employee impact and SQD.
  • Social Media Content Preferences and Political Participation among Nigerian Youths

    Romanian Journal of Communication and Public Relations, 2022
    This study examines the influence of social media content preferences on political participation in Nigeria’s relatively nascent democracy. Due to mixed conclusions on the influence of news and entertainment preferences on political participation, we sampled 434 youths aged 18-35 in a Nigerian northern state, to investigate the differential influence of diverse social media content consumption on political participation. Incorporating the moderating and mediating influences of political efficacy and incidental news exposure, findings confirm that news and entertainment preferences are positive, significant predictors of political participation among respondents. While political efficacy moderated the influence of news preference on political participation, incidental news exposure did not mediate the influence of entertainment preference on political participation. We recommend further investigation into the influence of content preferences on political participation among Nigerian youths who constitute considerable members of the nation’s electorate.
  • Media and youths' political engagement during the 2015 nigerian general election

    Estudos Em Comunicacao, 2017
    The centrality of media to political and civic engagement has received tremendous exploration in many climes across the globe. Similarly, the dynamism that characterised media landscape has oftentimes called for continuing interrogation of the role of media in democratic and civic movements, discourses and participations. While the advent of new/social media led to the comparative exploration of the potency of legacy and novel media, mixed findings have characterised these research endeavours. Besides, most of the findings originated from advanced democratic hemisphere. In view of this gap in the literature, this study sampled 350 Nigerian university students in Kwara state during the 2015 Nigerian General Election to examine the differential contributions of legacy and novel media to the youths’ political engagement. Premised on media displacement theory, the study anticipates differences in the contribution of mainstream and new media to youths’ political engagement, with new media precipitating more civic engagement than the mains- tream media. Findings offer important contributions on the role of media to youths’ political engagement in general and the continuing importance of the mainstream media to civic and political participation among the youths.
