Significance of the Study. The current study is significant in a number of ways. First of all, by investigating the impact of the level of women in the workforce on the economic growth of Kuwait, and consequently by applying the anticipated results of the model designed to test such impact, the thesis attempts to provide insights of the impact of women level of participation on the overall economy of the state of Kuwait. This would add to the existing research. Second, the thesis’s examining of whether a U-shaped or positive relationship exists between the level of women employment and economic growth in Kuwait should help decision makers to reconsider the socio-economic structure of Kuwait. Third, by supplementing econometric modeling, the thesis provides insight into the views of knowledgeable people on the impact of the low level of women employment on the Kuwait economy. An area that would add to the quantitative data collected.
Significance of the Study. Given the dynamism and increasingly competitiveness of the business environment, organizations and institutions need to remain competitive for them to survive in the long- run. This study was crucial in understanding the motivation of strategic alliance between JKUAT and middle level colleges. The study is again important to JKUAT and other higher institutions that may plan to form strategic alliances as it can guide managers on how to manage them to avoid instability and the consequent high cost of crisis and rivalry that may occur. This study is a contribution to research in the area of strategic management in education and training in Kenya and the finding from this study is useful in the education sector as whole. The government and policy makers in education sector can make use of the findings to streamline such engagements to ensure that they are well run for the benefit of all stakeholders including the customers (students). The findings from this study go towards filling an existing information gap, while other institutions can make use of them to xxxxxx into strategic usefulness in the high education sector. This study will also be a point of reference for further research in the area of strategic alliance. CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW
Significance of the Study. The study aims to find out how teachers perceive their own autonomy in different types of schools, and whether it has any influence on their job satisfaction and motivation. As the new “Law on the Status of Teachers” is being currently developed in Kazakhstan, one of its main goals will be to provide teachers with adequate autonomy, which has not been mentioned in previous official documents by the XxXX of Kazakhstan. Currently, as this study is being done, the law is in its development stage and the term ‘teacher autonomy’ is only mentioned as a chapter title. In order to understand and improve the process of policy implementation, it is important to listen to what teachers have to say about the issue, as they are the “key actors in realising” these policies (Xxxxxxxxx, 2015, p.75). This study may offer an insight on how teachers see and understand autonomy and what kind of autonomy should be provided to ensure that they are satisfied with their jobs and motivated to stay in schools. School principals might also benefit from this study, as it may provide them with an action framework if they are willing to keep their teachers motivated to work and develop professionally. Even though there are commonly accepted definitions of what teacher autonomy is, it is important to know that the understanding of the concept and its perception may differ not only from country to country, but from one type of school to another. This study might help school administrators and policy-makers understand what ‘teacher autonomy’ is in terms of Kazakhstani teachers’ perceptions. More importantly, there is hardly any study on teachers’ autonomy in the context of Kazakhstan. Therefore this study may contribute to literature on this important topic.
Significance of the Study. The study gave birth to a new strategic method of expanding ones business venture and promote profits and cost management. The success of this research work will significantly have an impact to the protit management of ABS VIDEO RENTAL STORE Lagos Ikeja. Also, this research work will serve as a reference material to the fellow researcher, academic students and others as a reference study guide.
Significance of the Study. This study contributes to understanding the connections between Indigenous heritage institutions and communities in the Caribbean context, moving away from the tourism- oriented framework in which museum collections are marketed. It explores the nature of Indigenous heritage collections in the Dominican Republic and the creation of these collections. The study evaluates the access to the collections beyond the current tourism framework. Museological practices that place community participation at the heart of their approach can expand an institution’s capacity to carry out educational and preservation initiatives (Xxxxxx 2007). This study provides future scholars with a foundational reference to help deepen their knowledge of Indigenous heritage institutions and their role for the educational, heritage, governmental, and local communities served by museums. The research offers practical suggestions for developing and incorporating critical museology approaches to the creation of community connections with Indigenous heritage institutions in the Dominican Republic. The present research may also assist heritage managers and public officials in improving how heritage education programs are designed to make the collections more relevant to the communities they aim to serve. Under ideal conditions, this effort would call for a unified approach at the managerial and even legislative levels. The information obtained and analyzed in this study can help in adapting various resources from different organizations’ structures, budgets, and personnel capacities to facilitate access between heritage collections and communities, starting at the most basic levels. Future researchers can also use this study to identify patterns in community involvement that may further demonstrate the value of critically framing heritage institutions’ efforts to improve preservation initiatives.
Significance of the Study. This study identified motivating factors and strategies that are easy to understand and implement; they could be used to encourage and influence students from all walks of life, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status, into pursuing careers in the STEM fields successfully. However, a collaborative effort between students, parents, educators, and community and industry leaders is necessary to support the implementation of these strategies. Successful implementation could shape our educational system to respond to the needs of the STEM industry more effectively. Improvements are necessary for students’ instruction, and social awareness about STEM. The individual and global motivational strategies used to motivate students into these fields should also be revised. We could thus not only increase the number and ethnic diversity of students entering the STEM fields, but also raise their skill levels to match those demanded by the industry. The number of students starting with the intention of becoming a STEM practitioner is robust. However, there appears to be a high rate of attrition at the high school and college levels, when many students opt for a different career path. This could be explained using the STEM pipeline metaphor. The STEM pipeline metaphor describes the inflow of students into the STEM educational system from early on, all the way through primary, secondary, and post-secondary school levels. This metaphor portrays the number of students at any given junction of the educational system, including the “leaks,” the students that drop out from pursuing STEM careers. It is important to feed the “STEM pipeline” from the start (primary grades) and continue to monitor it along the way (middle and high school) to avoid leaks. This would increase the number of students interested in STEM, but most importantly, create a healthy, diverse, and robust workforce that would help the United States avoid an economic crisis, and regain its global technological power. There have been many efforts and programs aimed at increasing the number of students entering STEM careers, some aimed at encouraging and influencing the traditionally underrepresented groups such as women and minorities. These efforts, however, lacked congruency or were disjointed or fragmented. There are large disproportionate STEM pipeline leaks for URMs; the percentage of URMs dropping out exceeded the percentage of non-URMs doing the same. This study was intended to explore and ident...
Significance of the Study. This study provides the first examination of relative education between couples and the risk of prior year IPV in Colombia. The analyses also include important contextual measures of individual and interpersonal factors. Several important findings emerge which have implications for future research and intervention programs. In addition, the causes of IPV in displaced communities were explored through women’s voices. Specific attention was given to the dynamics of unfulfilled and transgressed gender roles of men and women as factors that may increase the risk of IPV. This study adds to a body of cross-cultural research examining the relationship between IPV and relative resources within couples in non-Western settings (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2008; Xxxxxxxx et al., 2010; Xxxxxxx, 0000; Xx, 2010; X.

Significance of the Study. The study will be of benefit to all stakeholders in the Aviation sector particularly the Airline Operators, the traveling public and the Governments of most African States. The need to ensure adequate infrastructural development and control over air safety by following strictly the ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices will be the focus of this study. The gradual approach to liberation by African States in the form of intra and extra regional co-operation will be highlighted with a view to assisting the African States to develop the political will to implement the provisions of the Yamoussoukro decisions. Total privatization coupled with deregulation or liberalization will inevitably lead to the law of the jungle, the bankruptcy of many airlines and dislocation of transport policy, industry jobs and national economic development. The Airlines will find the study useful as they may find sense in mergers and acquisition in order to compete favourably with the big airlines in the advanced economies of the world and join the “global alliance” groupings. Also the study will help to enhance the contemporary issue of consumer protection and the need for the regulatory authorities to ensure that the ever-increasing consumer expectations are met.
Significance of the Study. Since every student is unique in nature and potential, this research will be most beneficial for those students who are struggling academically due to a variety of factors, as well as for different stakeholders involved in their educational process. School administrations have the potential to benefit from this study as well since the research will reveal the factors that might lead to gifted underachievement. This information will help the school administration to better prepare teachers in improving their ability to identify and support gifted underachieving students. Looking at the analysis of the best practices of reversing gifted underachieving students in the international context provided in this research, school administrators can encourage the improvement of teachers' approach in reversing patterns of gifted underachievement. Moreover, the results of the study can be beneficial for teachers, who will have an opportunity to self-reflect on their own experience of working with gifted underachievers and consider the reversing patterns identified in this study. Overall, the results of this research have the potential to benefit all NIS schools throughout the country, since it can raise awareness on the nature of gifted underachievers and factors hindering the reverse pattern of gifted underachievers.
Significance of the Study. First, this study will be significant for families of children who have DS because it provides an opportunity for them to reveal their opinion, express the worries, and share their experiences and expectations regarding inclusive education. The findings should make an important contribution to the Kazakhstani context. It might raise awareness about the necessity to empower parents to advocate for themselves and on behalf of their children with special needs, not only on a personal level (by developing and enhancing their skills) but also on the legislative level. This research may lead to new research that would centre their attention on exploring the problem from the perspective of different stakeholders. Policy-makers may benefit from the findings of this study because it offers some insights into the ways of reforming and evolving inclusive practices in mainstream schools for all children regardless of their special needs.
