Examining employees creativity in commercial bank of Ethiopia Woldia branches

Creativity is the ability to combine unique ideas, identifying new ways, systems and products in the organization. Creative workers in the organization can transform their organization to higher level by inventing new systems. This study tried to examine employees’ creativity in the bank at commercial bank of Ethiopia Woldia branches. The researcher used an institutional-based cross-sectional design and followed a mixed research approach. The researcher applied a census method to participate in respondents from four branches, which were on duty 182 employees in commercial bank of Ethiopia. The collected data were analyzed by using multiple regression method after proving the quality of the data. The study finding revealed that autonomy, supervisors’ support and role ambiguity significantly affects the creativity of employees in the workplace. The remaining variables self-efficacy and job complexity have no statistically significant effect on employees’ creativity in the bank.

Multivariate analysis of medical and economic factors in the spread of socially significant diseases (on the example of the Khabarovsk Territory)

Methodological approaches to determining the possible social conditioning of certain diseases are considered. The method is based on studying the distribution of the disease under study in the population using factor analysis tools. The average annual population incidence of diseases in the administrative districts of the Khabarovsk Territory has been determined. The socio-economic characteristics of the districts of the remote region of Russia have been studied. The matrix obtained in the course of the study is used for regression analysis, which makes it possible to determine the degree of influence of social factors on the features of the territorial distribution of the disease under study. The use of the multiple regression method in a population-epidemiological study showed that socio-economic factors have a significant impact on the territorial spread of tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, chronic alcoholism and drug addiction, but not on the spread of malignant neoplasms.

Local Stress Field Correction Method Based on a Genetic Algorithm and a BP Neural Network for In Situ Stress Field Inversion

The in situ stress field is the fundamental factor causing deformation and damage in geotechnical engineering, so it is the main basis for underground engineering design and excavation. However, it is difficult to accurately obtain the in situ stress through most existing inversion methods in areas with complex geological conditions. For the problem of a relatively discrete and nonlinear relationship of measured stress in the Yebatan Hydropower Station area, a new in situ stress inversion method called the local stress field correction (LSFC) method combining a genetic algorithm (GA), backpropagation (BP) neural network, and submodel method is proposed. The inverted in situ stress results produced by this method show that the distribution of in situ stress is greatly influenced by tectonic movements in the Yebatan area, there is no obvious linear relationship with depth, and the stress release phenomenon occurs at the faults. By comparison with the multiple regression method, it is found that the method still has high inversion accuracy under complex geological conditions, and the average relative error of LSFC inversion results is 17.05%, which is much lower than the value of 43.58% via the multiple regression method. Therefore, the LSFC method can be used for the inversion of in situ stress in complex geological regions and provide a reference for engineering design and construction.

External Debt Management and Economic Development in Nigeria

This study empirically analyzed external debt management and economic development in Nigeria. The data employed in this study were collected from the CBN statistical bulletin annual report. The study employed Real Gross Domestic Product as the independent variable, while External Debt service, Balance of Payment, External Debt, and Exchange Rate were used as independent variables. The estimation technique employed in this study was Ordinary least squares (OLS) multiple regression method. The findings of this study revealed that external debt management recorded a positive and significant impact on economic development in Nigeria over review period. The study recommended that government of Nigeria should strike a balance between the acquisition of external debt and usage of same for projects that will culminate to enhancement of economic growth and development in Nigeria.

Determinants of Financing Disbursed by Islamic Rural Banks (BPRS) in Indonesia

<em>This study aims to determine the factors influencing the total financing disbursed (PYD) in Islamic Rural Banks in Indonesia in the 2015-2019 period. The data in this study were collected from the documentation on the Financial Services Authority (OJK) official website from a quarter I 2015 to quarter IV 2019. The data were analyzed using the multiple regression method with SPSS software. The results showed that Third Party Funds (Dana Pihak Ketiga) positively and significantly affected the total disbursed financing (p-value 0.000). Non-Performing Financing (NPF) has a positive and significant effect on total financing (p-value 0.004). Return on Assets (ROA) has a positive and significant effect on total financing (p-value 0.035). Simultaneously, the three variables also positively affect the total financing disbursed by Islamic Rural Banks in Indonesia (p-value 0.000) with an Adjusted R Square value of 0.968 or 96.8%. The findings of this study contribute to the development of empirical studies related to the determinants of financing in microfinance institutions such as Islamic Rural Banks and can be used as a reference for financing management in Islamic Rural Banks.</em><br /><br />Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi total pembiayaan yang disalurkan (PYD) pada BPRS di Indonesia dalam periode 2015-2019.
