Accountability In The Church, Professor Ben C Osisioma
Accountability In The Church, Professor Ben C Osisioma
Prof Ben Chuka Osisioma
Traditionally, accountability is the obligation to give a reckoning or explanation for one’s actions and responsibilities to a higher authority. However, for the purpose of this paper, we define accountability as the processes through which an organisation makes a commitment to respond to and balance the needs of stakeholders in its decision making processes and activities, and delivers against this commitment. In the church setting accountability involves managing the resources God has entrusted us with, organising for service and mission, and providing programmes to carry out the church’s mandate. The goal is to help people grow in Christ and learn …
Individual And Community Level Determinants Of Public Attitudes Toward Nonprofit Organizations, Lindsey Mcdougle, Marcus Lam
Individual And Community Level Determinants Of Public Attitudes Toward Nonprofit Organizations, Lindsey Mcdougle, Marcus Lam
Lindsey McDougle
It is often suggested that nonprofit organizations positively impact our local communities. Studies, however, have consistently shown that the distribution of these organizations varies considerably from one community to the next. These differences have led some scholars to begin raising serious concern about the degree of “charitable equity” across communities. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore how the makeup of a community’s nonprofit sector affects the views of those who potentially depend on nonprofit services. Specifically, using data from a countywide survey of public attitudes toward nonprofits in southern California (n = 1,002), we examined whether differences …

Health Outcomes And Volunteering: The Moderating Role Of Religiosity, Lindsey Mcdougle, Femida Handy, Sara Konrath, Marlene Walk

In this paper, we examine whether and what extent public and private forms of religiosity act as moderators of the volunteering and well-being relationship in mid- to later- life. We use data from the second wave of the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (n = 1,805). We analyzed the relationships between volunteering and indicators of well-being (self-rated physical and mental health), and tested the moderating effects of public and private religiosity on the volunteering and well-being relationship. Our findings suggest that salubrious effects of volunteering on the self-perceived physical and mental health of middle- aged and …

Deer Herd Management Using The Internet: A Comparative Study Of California Targeted By Data Mining The Internet, G. Kent Webb
Deer Herd Management Using The Internet: A Comparative Study Of California Targeted By Data Mining The Internet, G. Kent Webb
G. Kent Webb
An ongoing project to investigate the use of the internet as an information source for decision support identified the decline of the California deer population as a significant issue. Using Google Alerts, an automated keyword search tool, text and numerical data were collected from a daily internet search and categorized by region and topic to allow for identification of information trends. This simple data mining approach determined that California is one of only four states that do not currently report total, finalized deer harvest (kill) data online and that it is the only state that has reduced the amount of …
Demonstrating Impact - Four Case Studies Of Public Art Museums, Jody Evans, Kerrie Bridson
Demonstrating Impact - Four Case Studies Of Public Art Museums, Jody Evans, Kerrie Bridson
Jody Evans
Public art museums are cultural and educational institutions with intrinsic links to community. These institutions range in purpose, collections and programming, yet they share a common necessity in being accountable to a range of stakeholders. This accountability has evolved over time and public art museums are increasingly expected to incorporate a focus on the economic and/or social impact of their institution. While the body of work exploring the economic and social impact of the arts has grown, it has been hijacked by a discourse that is focused on measurement issues alone. Such debate has impeded the public art museum sector …

Comparative Study Of Determinants Of Food Security In Rural And Urban Households In Ashanti Region, Ghana, Stephen Frimpong, Samuel Asuming-Brempong
Stephen Frimpong
This study assessed determinants of food security in rural and urban households of Ashanti Region of Ghana using a Tobit regression model. The significant determinants of food security in rural households were household size, expenditure on food, access to credit, total own production, remittances, number of income generating activities and land endowment. Similarly, household size, migration, per capita food expenditure; own production and land endowment were the significant determinants of food security in urban households. The Chow coefficient test was used to test for equality of coefficients. The results showed that significant differences exist between the magnitudes of the determinants …
