“…Researching the life of indigenous people helps in better understanding of ways to interact, relate and protect their rights to existence. A lack of funding for extensive study has demotivated emerging researchers and increased experiences of frustration for existing scholars and practitioners [1]. Researching indigenous people would increase the possibility of funding support across funding agencies and improve the experiences of researchers.…”

“…The indigenous people have a standard of conduct and relationships that encourage reciprocal interaction in protecting and preserving the natural environment. Reciprocity is in the recognition and respect of the two-way interaction between humans and other elements of the natural environment [1,54]. The reciprocal interaction is derived from the assumption that humans and the natural environment contribute to each other's progress [1,55].…”

“…Scholars and practitioners engage in research for personal promotion and professional development. Researching is a methodical examination of life-associated challenges by gathering reliable information with different designs, methods, and analytical approaches for better understanding and solutions [1]. Researching the indigenous population or people by scholars and practitioners in contemporary times demands an understanding of indigenous knowledge and epistemologies embedded in their cultural philosophies to assure right-based practices that recognize and promote respect for indigenous peoples' heritage.…”

Indigenous and Minority Populations - Perspectives From Scholars and Writers Across the World

Researching indigenous people has been characterized by debate on what indigenous knowledge systems and epistemologies should guide the research. This debate is a result of limited knowledge of who indigenous people are, and what epistemologies, philosophies, cultural values and practices that inform their physical and spiritual beliefs. There are questions on how the indigenous research paradigm and research methodology can help to provide quality research outcomes. However, these questions have deterred emerging scholars and practitioners who are interested in researching indigenous people. This chapter aimed to advance awareness of what scholars and practitioners need to know about researching indigenous people in contemporary times. An exploratory approach was used to identify, describe and discuss information from diverse publishing sites to build holistic knowledge for scholars and practitioners. The concepts that the scholars and practitioners can refer to, for an appropriate understanding of indigenous people were defined. Then, considered why the research on the indigenous population by scholars and practitioners matters. The chapter presented and discussed the indigenous research paradigm and research methodology suitable for the indigenous setting. The chapter also explored relevant human rights frameworks and the competency to guide scholars and practitioners in an indigenous setting.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The emotional lives of teaching at the universities have remained under research. This study used a qualitative approach to investigate the emotional lives of lecturers teaching at two selected universities. This study sought to identify, understand and interpret the emotional lives of teaching with interpretive phenomenology research design. In purposefully selected two universities, 12 lecturers participated in the study. Semi-structured individual interviews were employed, the data generated were interpreted, the emerged themes were: work condition, resources and accreditation panel, trade union and government disagreement, and experienced emotions and effects on participants. A further interpretation of the emerged themes revealed that the emotional lives of the participants are dependent on teaching resources, academic war and convenient behaviour. The dependence is thereby suggestive that change in the management of teaching resources, academic war and behaviour of lecturers could positively influence the nature of their emotional lives. The paper used two universities, which lays the foundation for subsequent studies because this is the first study to examine the emotional lives of teaching in Nigerian universities. The study made recommendations for further studies and drew implications for policy and practice.</p>

The objective of this study was to establish the relationship between emotional intelligence and turnover intentions among the teaching staff in Kenya's Private Universities. The study was anchored on the mixed theory of emotional intelligence. It focused on all 36 private universities in Kenya as listed by the Commission for university education as at June 2021. The research was guided by positivism philosophy and used cross-sectional survey design. A sample size of 364 teaching staff from Kenyan Private Universities was obtained through stratified proportionate random sampling. The researcher used a structured questionnaire to collect primary data for the study from 364 respondents. Quantitative data analysis was conducted using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) software and involved diagnostic tests, descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The results revealed a weak positive and significant relationship between emotional intelligence and turnover intentions. The research recommends the leadership of private universities in Kenya to assess a candidate's emotional intelligence ability to build strong relationships among employees when employing the teaching staff. The study further recommends that employees in these institutions be trained on emotional intelligence aspects of Self-awareness, Self-regulation, Social-awareness and social management or social skills at institutional and personal level. This training should include all leaders at various levels such as vice chancellors, deputy vice chancellors' deans and non-academic leaders.
