    (IIARD International Journal Of Economics And Business Management, 2025-11-12) Yalokwu Patrick O; Ogaga-Oghene Joshua O; Omankhanlen Ehimare A
    Underutilised capacity remains a significant challenge in Nigeria’s food and beverage sector despite the growing market for processed food and beverage products, which is indicative of a lack of process optimisation and a need for process innovation. This study examined the influence of leadership capability on process innovation. Survey research design with a sample of 353 managers drawn from six quoted companies was employed. The validated questionnaire was administered using proportional and simple random sampling techniques and the response rate was 61.19%. The PLS-SEM analysed data indicate that leadership capability has a positive and significant influence on process innovation (β = 0.871, R2 = 0.758, t-statistic = 38.790, and p-value = 0.000) The study recommended that leader-managers at all levels should grow and strengthen their leadership skills by establishing guidelines, strategically create work groups, and demonstrate leadership support.

    Leadership Change and Employee Commitment: An Empirical Study of Transformational and Transactional Leadership Style In A University
    (International Journal of Economic Behavior, 2022-07-10) Ngwama Justice Chidi; Ogaga-Oghene Joshua O
    Lack of employee commitment may be a critical threat to organizational survival and growth. Private Christian mission owned universities seem to be grappling with survival and growth threats associated with a lack of employee commitment, which is likely to be causing inefficient daily operations, delay tasks completion, fostering customer dissatisfaction, and sabotaging revenue generation initiatives. The study examined the extent to which transformational and transactional leadership styles influence employee commitment in a Nigerian private Christian mission university. Survey research design was used for the study. The target population was 774 full-time employees of the University. The sample size of 89 respondents consisted of faculty and non-teaching staff and was determined using the Taro Yamane formula. The Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) and Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) were employed as data collection instruments. The study employed proportional and simple random sampling methods to allocate and distribute the questionnaires to respondents. Correlation coefficient and simple regression analysis were used to analyse data. The findings suggested that transformational and transactional leadership styles significantly affected employee commitment. The findings implied that the social and economic exchange relationship fostered by transformational and transactional leadership behaviours in organizations promote employee emotional attachment and inspires them to be dedicated to its goals. The study recommended that organizations' leaders should consciously create work environments that promote employee trust, responsible, and productivity behaviours.

    Organisational Capabilities and Product Innovation Performance among Nigerian Food and Beverage Companies
    (International Journal of Research and Scientific Innovation (IJRSI), 2025-01-25) Yalokwu Patrick O; Ogaga-Oghene Joshua O; Omankhanlen Ehimare A.
    This study examined the mediatory role of entrepreneurial orientation capability in the link between knowledge management capability and product innovation, using a survey research design and a validated questionnaire for data collection. The population was 672 Lagos-based food and beverage manufacturing companies from which six quoted companies were randomly selected as the study’s sampling frame. A sample size of 353 managers was mathematically determined, while proportional and simple random sampling techniques were employed. The response rate was 61.19%. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and partial least square structural equation modelling. The findings showed that knowledge management capability mediated by entrepreneurial orientation capability has a significant positive effect on product innovation. The study concluded that organisational capabilities positively affect innovation performance. The positive effect is particularly enhanced when entrepreneurial orientation capability is employed as a mediatory variable to link knowledge management and product innovation. The study contributes to extant knowledge by demonstrating that a complementary combination of capabilities can enhance innovation performance, thereby helping to clarify contentions about firms’ capacity to respond to changes in the business environment. In addition, the study contributes to theory development as the findings reinforced, the complementary perspective of the resource-based view where one firm resource mediates with other resources to influence innovation performance.
