    Board Diversity and Intellectual Capital Performance of Listed Non-Financial Service Firms in Nigeria
    (Universitas Negeri Semarang, Indonesia, 2023-01-26) Lawal Tajudeen; Daniya Adeiza AbdulAzeez; Musa Saidu
    Purpose : This study examines the effect of board diversity on the intellectual capital performance of listed non-financial service firms in Nigeria. This is due to the paucity of studies in this area especially within the context of Nigeria even at the instance of the gradual and steady shift from the industrial to information/knowledge based economy. Method : The study employs correlational research design to examine the 44 sampled firms for a period of ten years (2011-2020). Quantitative data extracted from the annual reports of the firms were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation and Fixed Effects regressions. Findings : The regression results revealed that board composition and board size have significant positive effect on intellectual capital performance. However, board ownership has insignificant effect on intellectual capital performance. Consequently, the study failed to reject the second null hypothesis. Novelty : Previous Nigerian studies concentrated on the use of traditional Value Added Intellectual Coefficients (VAIC) which is currently considered inappropriate. Given the previous studies, this study is novel because it uses the Modified Value Added Intellec tual Coefficient (MVAIC).

    This study examines the direct impact of women on the board on firm performance of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria as well as the moderating role of human resources development on the relationship between gender diversity and firm performance. The study adopted a sample size of ten (10) banks from a total population of fifteen (15) listed DMBs on the Nigerian Exchange Group and relevant research information was extracted from the annual reports and accounts of the sampled banks for a period of ten years from 2013 to 2022. Generalized Least Square (GLS) regression and robust Ordinary Least Square (OLS) techniques were used to test the study’s hypotheses. The results showed that board gender diversity has significant impact on Tobins Q but not on ROA of listed DMBs. It was also found that board independence has a positive and significant impact on performance. The finding of the study also revealed that human capital development used as moderating variable improved the positive impact of gender diversity on firm performance. The study recommends that the management of listed DBMs in Nigeria should increase the number of women on their board in order to influence their performance. Also, the study recommends that the management of the DMBs should increase the level of their spending employees’ training and development in order to improve/increase their performance.

    . Board Structure (Board Size and Board Independence) of banks is an essential ingredient for ensuring healthy financial intermediation as well as effective management of banks’ asset quality. However, the asset quality of banks in Nigeria continues to deteriorate even amidst various efforts by regulatory authorities to sanitize the Nigerian banking industry. It is on the strength of this backdrop that this study examined the impact of Board structure (Board size and Independence) on the asset quality NPL and LDR) of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria for a period of 10 years (2008-2017). Data for the study were quantitatively retrieved from the annual reports and accounts of the fifteen (15) studied banks. Various robustness tests were carried out to ascertain; the existence of multi-collinearity or otherwise, fitness of the model and to establish the appropriate regression analysis that befits the study. Descriptive statistics, correlation and OLS Robust regression were used to describe and analyze the data. It was found that board structure proxies showed no significant impact on Asset Quality. The study therefore recommended among others that; board independent directors should be encouraged to take their responsibilities seriously in order to help improve banks’ asset quality

    Human capital represents the engine that drives the entity and the foundation on which organizational success rests. This study examines the impact of human capital efficiency on profitability of five Integrated Oil and Gas companies in Nigeria between 2008 and 2017. This was examined by means of value added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) and it analyses how human capital efficiency affects the profitability of these firms measured by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). Multiple regression technique was applied on data to draw inferences using STATA Version 13. The finding of the study reveals that Human capital efficiency has positive and significant impact on the ROA of the firms under study. Based on the findings of the study, it is therefore, recommended that integrated oil and Gas companies in Nigeria should continue to invest more on their employees in order to improve their performance.

    (Department of Banking and Finance, Faculty of Administration, Nasarawa State University, Keffi., 2015-10-25) Dogara, I.A.; Lawal Tajudeen
    This paper examines the impact of intangible assets on the performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria. Correlated research design was adopted in the study and data for the study were secondary in nature and obtained from Nigerian stock exchange fact book and the annual reports and accounts of the selected DMBs for the period of ten years from 2001 to 2010. Multiple regression analysis was used as a technique of data analysis. The findings from this study revealed that intangible assets have strong negative association with the performance of the banks. The study concluded that there is a negative relationship between intangible assets and performance of DMBs in Nigeria during the period under study. Consequently, the study recommends that DMBs in Nigeria should change their culture of expensing amounts incurred in intangible assets. Also, capitalising and reporting intangible assets in financial reports of DMBs in Nigeria need guidelines and procedures. Finally, investors are the owners of the DMBs in Nigeria and should therefore insist on the adoption of any change that can enhance the quality of DMBs financial reporting.
