Evidence from the literature confirms that firms are as productive as the quality of their factors of production, which includes labour (workers). This suggests that the quality of workers in a firm, in terms of attitude to work, determines the productivity of that firm. Firms can, thus, improve their performances by investing in their workers in such a way that their workers' possess positive attitude to work. Such investments, which represent human capital development as well as employee relations, can be in the form of bonuses, salary upgrade, commendations and sponsored trainings, among others. The research questions that arise include: do firms recognise this factor as a way of improving productivity? To what extent do incentives improve firms' productivity? The objective of this study, therefore, is to examine the effect of human capital development on workers' attitude to work using Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc as a case. The study is founded on a theoretical foundation established by Human Capital Theory, and Correlation estimation technique was adopted for the research method. The findings revealed that the company engaged in human capital development which enhanced employees' attitude to work, though there was a high level of employee turnover as they grew older. It was, therefore, recommended that the organisation should adopt measures to achieve human capital sustainability.
For ages, the African culture has limited the activities of women and conditioned, to a large extent, the mentality of most African countries about the place and positioning of women in the society. The mass media have been used as a tool in this. Promoting the abilities and achievements of women in the society is one of the important roles of the media in reducing the rate of gender discrimination. These achievements are becoming noticeable in politics and entrepreneurship; thus, setting a standard for other women in the society to build on. This chapter will explore the role of the media in promoting the woman entrepreneur in Nigeria. The study employed the survey research method for data gathering. Findings showed that women have equal opportunity to grow their businesses. Data shows that this growth is slow as there are no significant differences between respondents who agree or disagree with the availability of enabling environment for women to grow their business as compared to their male counterpart. The study recommends that the mass media need to give more voice to their businesses and activities to pave way and encourage the younger women in the society.
