In this study, owner-manager-related factors that can influence the succession process in small and medium-sized family businesses are empirically investigated. The study was conducted among 2,458 owner-managers and successors in 1,038 family businesses identified via a snowball sampling technique. A total of 332 usable questionnaires was returned. The dependent variable in this study, namely the ‘perceived success of the succession process’, is measured by two underlying dimensions, namely the ‘satisfaction with the process’ and ‘continued profitability of the business’. The empirical results indicate that the owner-manager-related factors that influence ‘satisfaction with the process’ are the ‘relationship between the owner-manager and successor’, the ‘owner-manager's trust in the successor's abilities and intentions’ and ‘family harmony’. The ‘continued profitability of the business’ is influenced by the ‘relationship between the successor and owner-manager’ and the ‘trust that the owner-manager has in his or her successor's abilities and intentions’. The willingness of the owner-manager to hand over the business is in turn influenced by the extent to which he or she has ‘interests outside of the context of the family business’ and has ‘trust in the successor's abilities and intentions’. The extent to which there is ‘harmony among the family members’ will influence the ‘relationship between the owner-manager and successor’. Based on these findings, recommendations for successful successions are offered.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been identified as a global health problem with increasing mental health consequences. During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in Nigeria, couples were compelled to spend more time together, regardless of their pre-existing challenges. Our study aims to determine the prevalence of IPV, its forms, and mental health implications among Nigerian households amid the COVID-19 lockdown. A cross-sectional study was implemented which used the snowball sampling technique to recruit 474 participants across 31 states in Nigeria. A semi-structured online questionnaire was distributed using the WhatsApp platform. The relationship between IPV, its forms, and associated factors were analyzed using descriptive analysis and logistic regression with significant value at p ≤ .05 and confidence interval of 95%. Majority (98.1%) of the participants had at least a college degree and 90.1% were employed. Overall prevalence of IPV ranged from 7.2% to 13.5%. Using the lockdown as the landmark, higher prevalence was found before than during the lockdown across physical, emotional, financial, and sexual forms of IPV. Emotional form had the highest prevalence both before and during the lockdown with 11.4% and 3.8% respectively. Furthermore, 22.6% of participants reported that the lockdown affected their mental health. Hopelessness, feelings of failure, being irritable, and constantly under strain were psychological symptoms significantly associated with IPV amid the lockdown. Decreased prevalence of IPV were found in the early phase of the pandemic, suggesting that couples can experience less partner violence during periods of confinement. Our study supports existing evidence that forms of IPV have negative mental health consequences on abused partners.
