The objective of this study is to find advantages of accounting information system (AIS) for effective organizational performance. In the business of financial institutions, it was always necessary to get up risk management and in time much before the emergence of Information Systems. There was no idea the bank's approval credit to someone without assessing how much risk they face, and whether they will be able to collect receivables. The development of information technology itself in individual periods was accelerated by the need for accurate and timely calculations by reducing risk. Financial institutions (banks, insurance companies, etc.) funded development and the improvement of information systems and some of the first systems are developed just for these needs. In the 21st century we no longer have to talk about the need to implement info technology for these purposes, because they already exist in all areas, but about the need to be correct implemented, as well as the necessity of adequate handling and understanding information’s they give to us. Regardless of the existence of highly sophisticated system quality improvement hardware components of information systems, remarkably improved communication channels between different systems, software development specialized in risk assessment as part of the ERP company. So far, there was no need for information systems to work more efficient and make information which are obtained on this way they are adequate.  Available online at https://int-scientific-journals.com

In this paper, sustainability is examined as one of the objectives of enabling man in construction industry. It has been observed that some of the developing countries in the west Africa are yet to practice sustainable building. As the developed countries battles with measures of maintaining and improving the quality of life for its citizens and harmonize within the local climate, tradition, culture, also the environment in the region, this study examines the level of awareness of sustainable construction among the key stakeholders in construction industry. A descriptive survey design using data collection instrument such as questionnaire was adopted. One hundred and forty- three (143) respondents were selected based on years of experience in practice. Structured questionnaires were used in eliciting information from the key stakeholders on their knowledge of sustainable building, and how it can be achieved. The frequency counts and item analysis method were used to analyze the data collected. The result of the findings shows that about 32.2% of the respondents responded with full knowledge about sustainable building, while the remaining 67.9% of the respondents were not fully equipped with the knowledge of sustainable building and what it entails. Of the 100% that heard about sustainable building/construction, 67.9% do not fully know what sustainable building is all about and its benefits. Based on the research findings, recommendations were made in order to overcome most of the construction problems facing the industry and as well improve the livelihood of the citizenry. Available online at https://int-scientific-journals.com

Self-regulated learning is an important aspect of student learning and academic achievement. Certain parenting styles help children develop self-regulated learning and encourage them to exert control over their own learning. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship that exists between parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian and permissive) and student’s classroom motivation. Simple random sampling was used to select the subjects for the study. The sample consisted of 390 comprising of 130 students, 130 parents and 130 teachers from twenty public and private High Schools in India. The data were analyzed using partial correlation and logistic regression and analytical techniques with SPSS version 21. Results showed that majority of parents perceived themselves as authoritative, followed by authoritarian and permissive. The findings revealed that mothers were more permissive than fathers. The results also did confirm a positive correlation between paternal parenting styles and children’s classroom motivation. Possible reasons why the study findings of the present study are consisted with earlier ones were discussed. The study’s result also suggests that even though cultures differ in the kinds of opportunities they provide children to develop the competencies the need, parenting everywhere has direct influence on children’s social and emotional development. The present study concluded that both paternal and maternal parenting styles have a great bearing on student’s classroom motivation. It was therefore recommended that teachers as well as parents need to be trained to acquire skills to handle children’s problems in a caring and responsible manner. Implications of the study were discussed and recommendations for future research were suggested. Available online at https://int-scientific-journals.com

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of consumer’s ethnocentrism on consumer’s towards domestic and foreign products.  However, this may not be the case for marketers, because of the influence of strong feelings of national pride on behaviour of the consumers. Measures of consumer ethnocentrism may provide marketers with the information necessary to target consumers who do not allow nationalistic feelings to influence product quality evaluation and purchase behaviour. Also, the necessity of the product to consumers may provide marketers with clues on which products will be accepted in the marketplace.  Results are derived from primary data collected from a consumer sample from those who appear to not be overly ethnocentric, are willing to purchase products from other countries, but will be more likely to buy certain products because of the reputation these products and brands from specific countries have acquired. Thus, data was collected through a questionnaire which was distributed online to a representative sample, consisting of 150 individuals. Data was analyzed using the SPSS software. Factor analysis and Spearman correlation coefficient were used to test the research hypotheses. Study results show that the consumer’s ethnocentric tendencies are positively related to consumer’s purchase domestic products and negatively related to products. This means that ethnocentric consumers may have a more positive attitude toward purchasing products they deem necessary as opposed to unnecessary products, such as luxury items. Implications of the findings are discussed and directions for future research are provided.  Available online at https://int-scientific-journals.com
