Topic: Improving Productivity

Description: My research interest lies in the extensive application of industrial and applied psychology to address a broad spectrum of organisational challenges. I am particularly focused on understanding and mitigating workplace deviant behaviour, enhancing employee motivation, promoting work engagement, and fostering psychological wellbeing in the workplace. My goal is to explore psychological theories and empirical findings to design practical, evidence based interventions that cultivate a workforce that is engaged, committed, satisfied, and highly productive. Ultimately, i aim to contribute to organisational effectiveness and national development by supporting the growth of human capital and creating healthier , more resilient work environments.

Psychosocial predictors of Entrepreneurial Intention among Undergraduates in Lagos State.

The study is designed to examine the influence of resiliency and demographic factors tribe and gender on entrepreneurial intention among undergraduate students . The study adopted a cross sectional survey design, while stratified sampling technique was employed in selecting 600 students across the eight faculties in the Ojo campus of the university. Two standardized scales: 21-item seven-dimension entrepreneurial orientation scale by Schmidt, Bohnenberger, Panizzon, Marcon, Toivonen and Lampinen 2018 and 6-item brief resilience scale BRS by Smith, Dalen, Wiggins, Tooley, Christopher and Bernard 2008 was used for data collection. Three hypotheses were raised: Students scoring higher on resilience will significantly score higher on entrepreneurial intention compared to those scoring lower on resilience; female undergraduate students will score significantly higher on entrepreneurial intention compared to male undergraduate students and undergraduates who are Ibo will score significantly higher on entrepreneurial intention compared to the Yoruba undergraduates. The expected results will be discussed and recommendations will be made based on outcome of the study for future studies based on some identified limitations of the study.
