Abstract:
This work appraised relationship between welfare packages and worker’s performance in selected Universities in Southwestern Nigeria. It seeks to explore the socio-economic characteristics and the relationship between welfare packages and worker’s performance in selected universities in Southwestern Nigeria. Specifically, it identified socio – economic characteristics and evaluated the relationship between welfare packages and workers’ performance. Pre-set hypothesis was, there is no relationship between welfare packages and staff performance in universities in Southwestern Nigeria. South Western Nigeria consists of Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti states.The study population consisted of Academic and Non-teaching staff of the University of Ibadan, ObafemiAwolowo University, Ile Ife, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, LadokeAkintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Bowen University, Iwo and Covenant University, Ota. Structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from the staff of the selected Universities. Both descriptive and inferential statistical tools were employed in the study.Findings revealed that male dominate employment in the selected Universities. Also, each institution administered available welfare package in terms of: Passage appointment, Passage allowance, Salary allowance, Maternity leave, Medical care, Sick leave, Job security, Annual leave, Rent and housing allowance, Pension grant, Training opportunity, Academic leave. Affirmatively, there is statistically significant relationship between the identified welfare packages and staff performance. It was recommended that, there is need for the management of university to take cognizance of the importance of staff welfare packages, also borrow ideas and incorporation of those welfare packages that are found in other universities that are not included in their own.

Abstract:
The study examined the effect of employees’ welfare on the organizational effectiveness in Bowen University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomosho (BUTH), Nigeria. Using the survey method, 384 staff members of Bowen University Teaching Hospital (BUTH), Ogbomosho were sampled to test three hypotheses. The findings of the study showed that the available welfare programmes (job-related injuries and illness prevention facilities; subsidized medical facilities for employee’s family members; training and development) in BUTH had a significant impact on employees’ performance (R2=.642, F= 16.413, P<.05). It was further established that there was a positive and significant relationship between corporate performance and economic welfare scheme (r = .209, p<.05), recreational welfare services and corporate performance (r = .169, p<.05), while no significant relationship was found between corporate performance and facilitative welfare scheme (r = .070, p>.05) of the hospital. The findings of the study indicated employees’ lack of trust in the BUTH’s welfare programmes (β=.318, t= 5.287, p<.05), tedious procedures in applying for the use of welfares’ facilities (β=.270, t= 4.283, p<.05), bad leadership (β=.238, t= 4.136, p<.05), and poor implementation of welfare programmes (β=.122, t= 2.286, p<.05) as the major factors affecting the effectiveness of employees’ welfare programmes in BUTH. The study thus recommended improvement of workers’ working conditions and general welfare in order to elicit employees’ job satisfaction and motivation for increased work performance in the hospital

Abstract:
‘The Visiting Health and welfare services’ are being promoted recently as a project to reform the public welfare delivery system. But there is a lack of empirical analysis. In this study, we will analyze the factors that have affected the performance of the visiting health and welfare services. To that end, we would like to analyze the factors that affect the health and welfare services that are visited by using the administrative data of Gyeonggi-do. The dependent variables were set up as blind spots, visiting counseling, case management, and public-private partnership projects. Among the factors affecting were regional variables, organizational variables, and human resources variables. According to the analysis results, the number of workers visiting the welfare team, basic type, visiting nurses, case managers were important factors. It is necessary to check the type of team and the role of team leader in the process of organizing the upcoming health and welfare services.

Abstract:
The performance of a company is intricately linked to the collective efforts of its individuals, who are driven by motivation, discipline, and the well-being they experience. This study delves deeply into the complex interaction of these three elements, both together and individually, on the performance spectrum of PT. Delta Steel Services. The results indicate that 23.4% of the fluctuations in company performance can be attributed to the interplay of work motivation, discipline, and employee welfare. Interestingly, while motivation and discipline do not show a significant impact on PT. Delta Steel Services' performance, contrary to conventional wisdom, employee welfare emerges as the main driver, positively and significantly influencing organizational outcomes. These findings highlight the crucial role of employee welfare as the key to enhancing performance within PT. Delta Steel Services. Therefore, it underscores the importance for companies to prioritize initiatives aimed at improving employee welfare. Such initiatives may include comprehensive health programs, attractive incentives, and robust career development pathways. By improving the welfare of their workforce, companies can steer themselves toward performance optimization, paving the way for sustainable growth and high competitiveness in the corporate world. Firms that prioritize and enhance the welfare of their employees are poised to cultivate a more productive and cohesive workplace environment. This, in turn, fosters the company's sustained success amidst competitive market dynamics

Abstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária<br>Oestrus intensity in Swedish dairy cattle – Is there a relationship with animal-based welfare parameters? A welfare field study was carried out in a Swedish experimental dairy farm to determine the presence and relevance of relationships between animal welfare-based parameters and fertility in heifers and first parity dairy cows with high genetic potential for milk production. The main hypothesis tested was that strong signalling of oestrus is an indicator of good welfare and that it is related to low avoidance distance, low lameness score and acceptable pregnancy rate. A field trial was initiated to validate a commercially automated progesterone measuring instrument (eProCheck®) designed to ease reproduction management. The studied sample included 68 females, balanced in terms of breed and category (Swedish Red or Swedish Holstein; heifer or cow). The animals were included into the study after oestrus detection and artificial insemination (AI) decision by the personnel at the farm. Oestrus intensity (OI) was determined in parallel by the personnel (NCV_OI) and by the author (OBS_OI). On day 0, defined by AI, progesterone relative level was assessed in blood (and milk - cows). On day 7, avoidance distance (at the feeding rack and inside the stable), body condition, lameness and progesterone level were assessed. On day 20, progesterone level was determined, as well as pregnancy through trans-rectal ultrasonography. Pregnancy was confirmed with trans-rectal palpation by day 50. The NCV_OI and OBS_OI differed, but the last revealed to be higher in heifers than in cows. The overall pregnancy rate (55%) was acceptable, but heifers had a higher performance than cows (70% vs. 37%), being higher oestrus intensity, both NCV_OI and OBS_OI, reflected in a higher pregnancy rate. Standing oestrus (high OBS_OI) had 3.8-fold higher odds of pregnancy, compared to the detection based on secondary oestrus signs. Though, AIs based on secondary signs had acceptable pregnancy rates (45 % in low vs. 46 % in medium OI). Strong oestruses (NCV_OI) had 5.3-fold higher odds of pregnancy than weak and clear ones grouped. Non-lame had 4.8-fold higher odds of pregnancy than lame animals. Avoidance distance means were short (<1m), as a reflex of a good human-animal interaction at the farm. Although OBS_OI tended to correlate negatively with avoidance distance at the feeding rack in primiparous cows, the relationships between OI and avoidance distances were found inconclusive and statistically nonsignificant. Results of preliminary eProCheck® trials seem promising regarding early pregnancy diagnosis, due to high sensitivity with a single test on day 20. Although further testing is required, it is considered a valuable complement for on-farm reproductive management. In conclusion, OI and lameness were associated with pregnancy outcome, confirming the importance of these factors in modern dairy farming, although global animal welfare level was considered acceptable within the studied parameters. Yet, re-evaluation of the prevention programme for lameness is needed to address its high prevalence in primiparous cows.<br>RESUMO - Performance e Bem-estar Animal Intensidade do cio em bovinos de leite na Suécia – Existem relações com os parâmetros de bem-estar baseados no animal? - Foi realizado um estudo de campo numa vacaria experimental de leite na Suécia para determinar a presença e relevância das relações entre parâmetros de bem-estar com base no animal e fertilidade de novilhas e vacas primíparas com alto potencial genético para produção de leite. A principal hipótese testada admite que a sinalização intensa do estro é um bom indicador de bem-estar e que está relacionada com uma curta distância de fuga, um baixo grau de claudicação e uma taxa de gestação aceitável. Foi iniciada a validação de um instrumento comercial de medição automatizada de progesterona (eProCheck®) desenvolvido para facilitar o maneio reprodutivo. A amostra incluiu 68 fêmeas, sem diferenças significativas na proporção de raças e categorias (Vermelha Sueca, Holstein Sueca; novilha, vaca). Os animais foram incluídos no estudo após a detecção de cio e decisão da inseminação artificial (IA) pelo pessoal da vacaria. A intensidade de cio (OI) foi avaliada em paralelo pelo pessoal (NCV_OI) e pelo autor (OBS_OI). No dia 0, definido pela IA, o nível relativo de progesterona foi determinado no sangue (e leite–vacas). No dia 7, foram avaliados a distância de fuga (na manjedoura e dentro do estábulo), condição corporal, grau de claudicação e o nível de progesterona. No dia 20, o nível de progesterona foi determinado, assim como a gestação através de ultrasonografia transrectal. A gestação foi confirmada por palpação trans-rectal cerca do dia 50. Os sistemas de classificação NCV_OI e OBS_OI obtiveram resultados diferentes, tendo o segundo evidenciado OI mais elevada nas novilhas que nas vacas. A taxa de gestação global (55%) foi aceitável, tendo as novilhas maior performance que as vacas (70% vs. 37%), pelo que maior OI, em NCV_OI e OBS_OI, reflectiu-se em maior taxa de gestação. O comportamento de se deixar montar (alta intensidade de cio) correspondeu a 3.8 vezes maior probabilidade de gestação, em comparação com a detecção baseada em sinais secundários. No entanto, as IAs com base em sinais secundários, obtiveram taxa de gestação aceitável (45% baixa vs. 46% média intensidade de cio). Cios intensos (NCV_OI) corresponderam a 5.3 vezes maior probabilidade de gestação que o conjunto dos cios nítidos e fracos. Animais não-claudicantes mostraram 4.8 vezes maior probabilidade de gestação do que animais com claudicação. As distâncias de fuga foram curtas (<1m), como reflexo de uma boa interacção homemanimal na vacaria. Embora a intensidade de cio tenha tido tendência a correlacionar-se negativamente com a distância de fuga na manjedoura em vacas primíparas, as relações entre intensidade de cio e as distâncias de fuga foram consideradas inconclusivas, não sendo estatisticamente significativas. Os resultados dos ensaios preliminares do eProCheck® parecem promissores quanto ao diagnóstico precoce de gestação, devido à alta sensibilidade com um único teste ao dia 20. Ainda que seja necessário continuar a testagem, pode ser uma ferramenta complementar útil no maneio reprodutivo. Finalmente, a taxa de gestação encontrou-se associada à intensidade de cio e ao grau de claudicação, confirmando-se a importância destes factores em explorações de alta produção, embora o bem-estar animal tenha sido considerado aceitável ao nível dos parâmetros estudados. No entanto, é necessária uma reavaliação do programa de prevenção de claudicação, a fim de reduzir a sua alta prevalência nas vacas prímiparas.

Abstract:
Child welfare leaders reflect their organizations' mission and vision and are entrusted to provide support to employees, who in turn provide services to one of the most vulnerable populations, children. Little, however is known about how leaders perceive their roles and responsibilities in terms of providing sufficient supervisory and guidance to child welfare workers in order to support organizational goals. Guided by Houses' path-goal theory, this phenomenological study examined the perceptions of child welfare leaders related to leadership behaviors, strategies to improve administration, work performance, communication, and fostering an inclusive work environment. A sample of 16 participants working as administrators, county directors, and supervisors in the nonprofit sector of a southeastern state completed semi structured open-ended surveys using Survey Gizmo. Data were analyzed via Moustaka's modified vanKaam method. Findings from this study indicated that participants perceived positive experiences with a supportive leadership style that allowed for more alignment to the workgroup by increasing job sharing that created autonomy and accountability. Factors such as coaching to better manage caseloads were believed to improve employee performance and satisfaction. Effective leaders removed barriers that prevented upward mobility, and provided sustainable work practices. The results of this study may impact social change by raising awareness among organizational leaders to recognize the value of employees and provide an inclusive and supportive workplace environment.

Abstract:
Chapter 1 Over the last decade we have witnessed an improvement in the literature on how to measure and compare the well-being of individuals. While the standard approach in the analysis of individual well-being is based almost exclusively on a material dimension of income, there is a robust evidence that individuals care about non-income dimensions of life which accordingly should be included in such a measure. Nevertheless, even when the non-income dimensions of life are included in the analysis of individual well-being, a majority of studies are predominantly neglecting the notion of individual preferences in order to escape the problem of interpersonal comparisons of well-being. In this chapter we have employed an alternative welfare measure which takes into account income and non-income dimensions of life while at the same time the following measure is sensitive to the individual preferences. This is known as the equivalent income measure. We have compared the equivalent income and income measures over 25 countries of the European Union. The following analysis is done for 2007 and 2011, since these were the only available years that we could use. Our contribution to the literature is reflected in the fact, that to the best of our knowledge, there are no such studies in the literature that compares the well-being with the following two measures for such a large set of countries. Although we found that the welfare rankings across countries change to some extent between the average income and average equivalent income, in spite of that when we ranked countries according to the growth rates of income and equivalent income we observed a substantial change in the country rankings. The following evidence implies that the choice of the welfare metrics is empirically important. The previous results have been broadened by computing the welfare rankings across countries once we raise the concern about the egalitarian principle of justice. We observed that the welfare rankings across countries changed remarkably when we take into account distributional inequalities. The evidence we have found suggest that correlations of disadvantages between life dimensions matter since some countries have sufficiently larger inequalities of equivalent income than inequalities of incomes. The results we have found show that individuals across countries care about material dimension (income) but they also care much about the non-income dimensions. Relatively the most important non-income dimension for almost all countries is health while the least important non-income dimension concerns the (un)employment status. We have identified the worst off individuals according to each welfare measure and we have compared the socio-demographic characteristics of the worst off individuals. We have seen that different well-being measures will identify the worst off individuals with different socio-demographic characteristics. We have also observed that the worst off individuals considerably differ over countries with respect to their average income and non-income dimensions and average socio-demographic characteristics. Finally, we have illustrated the degree of re-ranking between income and equivalent income measures taking into account all individuals of a given country. While we found a similar pattern of re-ranking between income and equivalent income across countries, the degree of re-ranking differs across countries. The pattern that we have observed across all countries indicated that individuals who are income rich can end up as equivalent income poor while the opposite has not been found.<br>Chapter 2 An important role of social and public policies, among others, is to provide employment opportunities and to maintain the initiative of people to work. Yet, the role of these policies should not exclusively be concerned with the improvement of job quantity, such as ensuring the optimal employment rate but likewise these policies should be designed to improve the well-being of workers by enhancing job quality. Although, the precise definition of job quality is lacking in the literature, one can reasonably argue that job quality is a multi-dimensional concept which includes the wage dimension but also non-wage job dimensions such as job autonomy, job security, whether a job is interesting, challenging, whether it offers a good career opportunities, etc. Accepting the idea that a job quality is a multi-dimensional concept leads to the important question of aggregating various job dimensions into an overall index of job quality which can be used as a measure of well-being on the job. Moreover, if we agree on the notion that the preferences of workers over job dimensions should be respected, then we have to find a proper way to weight these various job characteristics such that the construction of weights is consistent with the preference orderings over different jobs. A measure that satisfies the previous two requirements is known in the literature as the equivalent wage measure. In this study we have applied the concept of equivalent wage to a specific sub-population of recent graduates (bachelor, master and doctoral students) who are currently participating in the labour market. In addition to the equivalent wage measure, we have used four other well-being measures which are wage, average preferences objective measure, equal weights objective measure and subjective job satisfaction measure. We have compared the job quality using a large scale survey which includes nineteen countries. We have found that individuals with various personal characteristics have different preferences over wage and non-wage job dimensions. This result underlines the importance of considering the heterogeneity of individual preferences seriously. We have shown that different measures of job quality will result in substantially different ranking of countries. In other words, the evidence we have found points out to the fact that the choice of well-being measure is utterly important for measuring job quality. Since, we have observed a considerable re-ranking of countries between different measures, we were encouraged to provide the evidence on the strength and direction of relationship between the ranking for all pairs of measures. We have found that the rank correlation is positive and statistically significant for almost all pairwise correlations. The lowest correlation has been found between pairs of wage and equal weights objective measure while the highest correlation has been found between subjective job satisfaction and average preferences objective measure. As one important issue in creating a reasonable public policies is to identify those individuals who are not faring well or those who are faring very well, we have decided to identify the individuals at the bottom and top end of the distribution according to different measures of job quality. The results have shown that the overlap of the worst off when we use two measures is lowest for wage and equivalent wage measures while the largest overlap occurs when we use two objective measures. These results should not be surprising since the informational requirements between two objective measures are more alike than the informational requirements between wage and equivalent wage. On the other hand, the largest overlap of the best off individuals for a pair of measures occurs between average preferences and equal weights measures while the overlap is lowest between wage and subjective job satisfaction. We have evaluated the gender differential in job quality across countries by using wage and equivalent wage measures. The evidence we have found indicate that in majority of countries, the average quality of jobs is higher for men than for women if we use the wage measure. While even if we use the equivalent wage measure, the quality of jobs are higher among men in most countries, still we have observed that women are either holding jobs of the same quality or they are even faring better than men in some countries. In addition, we have computed the willingness-to-pay for each non-wage job characteristic and we have compared the gender differences in the willingness-to-pay across and within countries. We have found that across almost all countries, the willingness-to-pay is higher among men, which indicates that they are suffering more not reaching the best possible values of non-wage job characteristics. Finally, we have presented the decomposition the total willingness-to-pay on the contributions attributed to each non-wage job characteristic. We have found that across countries for both men and women, having a good career prospect is relatively the most important non-wage job characteristic while job security is relatively the least important non-wage job characteristic.<br>Chapter 3 In recent decades there has been a growing number of studies that investigated the effects of personal and job characteristics on the subjective well-being on the job. Besides, the empirical findings reveal that workers who are paid on the piece rates exert more effort and earn more than those workers paid an hourly salary. Nevertheless, it is ambiguous what will be the effect of performance paying schemes, since the well-being on the job can increase in wage but it can decrease with higher level of excreted effort. Since the possible effect of performance paying jobs on the well-being of workers stay hidden, we have tackled the following issue in this chapter and we have provided the empirical evidence on these effects. This chapter contributes to the literature on the subjective well-being by providing the casual effects that the performance pay job schemes have on job satisfaction. We approximate the well-being on the job by the subjective job satisfaction reported by individuals. We have used the Korean Labour and Income Panel Survey which allowed us to distinguish between the workers who are paid by performance and those who are paid by fixed rate. In addition, we could exploit the information about the particular type of performance paying scheme that applies to the workers who are paid by performance. Since the personality traits are possibly correlated with the observed and unobserved explanatory variables, we have decided to estimate the job satisfaction regression using the fixed effects estimator. We have shown that workers in the performance pay job schemes have a higher subjective well-being on the job than workers who are using the non-performance pay job schemes. The following result holds true even after we have controlled for the level of earnings, attitudes toward risk and other personal and job related characteristics. This evidence is also confirmed for both men and women. When it comes down to the effect of wage on job satisfaction, we observe that the effect is not apparent as someone might expect. We have found that among all explanatory variables, health has the strongest effect on the well-being on the job. Finally, we have exploited the information on the type of performance pay schemes in order to analyse how different performance pay schemes affect job satisfaction. The results have shown that workers who are employed on the individual, group and company performance pay job schemes are more satisfied on their job than workers who are paid by the fixed amount. The later result remains even after we have controlled for the difference in earnings, personal and job characteristics.

Abstract:
In 2005-06, 24 Canadian and American animal welfare organizations (AWOs) and foundations participated in an in-depth qualitative study to establish which performance criteria best determine the effectiveness of AWOs. Participants' comments resulted in the development of a framework that offers individual donors and foundations a consistent approach to evaluating organizational performance. Termed the PREP Framework, this approach categorizes performance into four key pillars, each with its own components and criteria: 1. Philosophy - the organization's beliefs and values, as reflected in its mandate, position statements, policies and practices; 2. Red Flags - indicators of problems in the organization, such as excessive personnel turnover, disproportionate management salaries, high administration and fundraising costs, lack of peer collaboration, poor financial statements; 3. Efficiencies - financial and operational conduct of the organization, including long term strategic planning, financial credibility and sustainability; and 4. People - abilities of those involved with the organization, including management, volunteers, peers, donors and board members. The study also explored the pros and cons of standardizing performance evaluation and found that many participants felt the sector would benefit from the use of more quantitative and qualitative benchmarks and standards to establish sector norms and trends. In addition, the research examined the sector's familiarity with outcome measurement and found most participants struggled to clearly define outcomes for the sector. This may suggest the sector would also gain from consultation on how to establish objectives within an outcome evaluation framework. Finally, the study investigated how funding strategies of foundations often are at odds with AWO needs and priorities. Participants identified conflicts concerning funding of: 1. short-term vs. long-term projects; 2. innovative vs. proven projects; 3. many, small grants vs. fewer, large grants; 4. new vs. established organizations; 5. emotional appeal vs. practical needs; and 6. no-kill vs. open-admission shelters. Participants provided ideas on where funding could be applied to make the most impact and achieve mutual goals for both AWOs and foundations. The findings and recommendations of this study may enable AWOs to better identify and manage their objectives while enabling donors and foundations to better assess AWO performance and outcomes to improve philanthropic decision-making.<br>Land and Food Systems, Faculty of<br>Graduate

Abstract:
This thesis analyses several aspects of the performance, welfare and reception of immigrants in the UK. The thesis is organised into three parts and contains the introduction and six chapters. In the introduction, we provide the motivation and estabhsh the background for the analysis performed in the thesis. We discuss recent trends in migration in the UK and describe the data sources used for the analysis. In part one we analyse the economic performance of immigrants, and how this is affected by the level of proficiency in the host country language. We also investigate the association between ethnic concentration and language fluency. In chapter two, the effect of language proficiency in English is investigated as a determinant of wages and employment probabihties, taking into account econometric issues such as endogeneity and measurement error. This is followed by chapter three, which investigates the association between immigrants' language proficiency and ethnic context. In part two, chapter four presents an analysis of health inequalities between ethnic minority immigrants and the native population in England. A model of migration decisions is developed that includes health as a determinant of migration. According to this model, if health and income are positively correlated, immigrants are likely to be positively selected in terms of health. This discussion illustrates the problems deriving from the available measures of health. Part two deals with issues of "reception". In chapter five, the impact of immigration on the UK labour market is investigated. We use aggregate information at regional level. The analysis concentrates on employment and wage effects of immigration. Finally, chapter six provides an analysis of the association between ethnic concentration, attitudes of the majority population and the probability of ethnic minorities experiencing racial hostility.

Abstract:
This thesis comprises four chapters, in two parts. The first part examines the result of a Swedish payroll tax reduction; first from the perspective of the worker, then from that of the employer. The second half of the thesis concerns subjective well-being, both from an individual and from an aggregate viewpoint. Payroll Taxes and Youth Labor Demand. In 2007, the Swedish payroll tax was reduced substantially for young workers. This paper examines whether targeted payroll tax reductions are effective in raising youth employment. We estimate a small impact, both on employment and on wages. However, the effect differs markedly across ages, with 4–5 times higher impact on 22–23 year-olds compared to 25-year-olds. Additionally, the employment effects are strongly procyclical, approaching zero in the deep recession. We calculate that the estimated cost per created job is more than four times that of directly hiring workers at the average wage. Payroll Taxes and Firm Performance. The Swedish payroll tax reform of 2007 had the effect that firms' average social fees came to depend on the age structure of their employees. This makes it possible to estimate how firms respond to shocks in labor costs. We find a significant, but very small effect on gross investments, and a negative, but not statistically significant, impact on labor productivity. There are no effects on exit rates or profitability. Beyond Income: The Importance for Life Satisfaction of Having Access to a Cash Margin. We study how life satisfaction among adult Swedes is influenced by having access to a cash margin, i.e. a moderate amount of money that could be acquired on short notice either through own savings, by loan from family or friends, or by other means. We find that cash margin is a strong and robust predictor of life satisfaction, also when controlling for individual fixed-effects and socio-economic conditions, including income. This suggests that cash margin captures something beyond wealth. On Aggregating Subjective Well-Being. This paper discusses the assumptions underlying the aggregation of individually measured well-being. Any aggregation method is associated with measurability assumptions regarding the underlying well-being measure, as well as moral philosophical assumptions with respect to how individual well-being is weighted into a composite metric. I compare welfare across a set of countries, under alternative aggregation methods, and find that countries often can be ranked under comparatively weak measurement assumptions, and, equally important, that aggregation methods can be chosen so as to refrain from strong ethical preconceptions.

Abstract:
The transition to the market economy and the recalibration of budgets, financial independency and the transfer of responsibility to the local level in the management of social work budgets have caused concerns for the rational spending of money intended for these activities. We are still very far from managing these budgets fairly and efficiently, but the direction is very clear: the money will be little and must be used efficiently. The health and economic crisis that followed should lead to efficiency in the first phase and then to effectiveness and sustainability in the second. This requires a series of abrupt changes, which are difficult to achieve, both due to factors internal and external to the institutions. Their organization, the very high level of bureaucracy, poor staff performance, corruption and political interference in the administration turned good intentions into bad habits and inefficiency. Social services lack the contents and strategies to achieve quality, the elements that determine whether a service is considered quality or not are missing. There are control institutions, but they are ineffective because they cannot enforce quality assurance. They don�t have tools and don�t understand how to get results. The aim of this paper is to explore the deficiencies in social care case management, highlighting how these issues diminish the effectiveness of services and the well-being of beneficiaries. To achieve the purpose of the article, three focus groups were conducted with social case managers. The research underscores the importance of high-quality case management, which encompasses timeliness, effectiveness, client-centeredness, safety, and equity. The study also examines the potential of Lean management principles to improve efficiency in social work by eliminating waste and focusing on value creation. The barriers that stand between case management service providers and their beneficiaries identified in this research cand by removed by setting quality targets, organizing employees according to modern human resources system models, and institutional reorganization. The control of the variation of the processes cannot be done with a management based on functions, where the decisions, approvals, allocation of resources �walk� from one department to another, reaching that in the end, the beneficiary receives mediocre solutions or solutions that cost a lot. The current yield is negative, the institutions consuming huge resources to obtain results without much value. Our approach may not bring about the immediate changes we desire in this field, but it lays the groundwork for viable long-term solutions that can enhance the quality of services and improve the performance of social welfare institutions in the future.

Abstract:
Poorer countries have a much smaller public sector and correspondingly a smaller tax burden than richer countries, yet, their economic performance has not been necessarily better. Using a simple model, this paper suggests that the growth and welfare effects of taxation are mediated through institutional quality; consequently, optimal tax levels increase with improved institutional quality. The paper then employs firm-level perceptions on the quality of public services and on the tax burden to test some of the model¿s predictions. Consistent with these predictions, the paper finds that a higher level of institutional quality bolsters positive perceptions of the quality of public services while at the same time moderating the view of taxes as an obstacle to growth.

Abstract:
In the United States, investors leave large amounts of money on the table when investing in index funds. I show that even though high fees strongly predict poor performance, investors have little sensitivity to fees. This can be explained by fund intermediation in the retail sector and the legal standard of care that intermediaries have towards their clients. Net inflows to high-fee funds are higher when brokers and financial advisors receive sales commissions from the investment management company. When funds are sold through intermediaries held to higher standard of care, such as those sold to employer sponsored defined contribution pension plans, this is no longer the case. Together, this evidence suggests imposing fiduciary duties on fund intermediaries improves investor welfare.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper discusses Brazil's structural reforms since the 1990s and areas where work remains to be done. Reforms of the 1990s included the containment of inflation, the adoption of a comprehensive Fiscal Responsibility Law, a successful debt restructuring program for subnational governments, the reduction of trade barriers, a wave of privatizations, and the expansion of health and education programs. Reforms of the 2000s included strengthening welfare programs, rapidly increasing the minimum wage, and reforming the financial sector to increase access to credit among lower income groups. Political opposition and other factors, however, have prevented reforms in the tax and pension systems and in the labor market. Brazil's recent strong economic performance owes more to generally sound macroeconomic management, and to a favorable external environment, than to a comprehensive and sustained structural reform effort. Doubts remain about the country's ability to sustain high growth rates while keeping inflation low.

Full text
Abstract:
Behavioral biases often lead to suboptimal decisions, a vulnerability that extends to policymakers who operate under conditions of fatigue, stress, and time constraints and with significant implications for public welfare. While behavioral economics offers strategies like default adjustments to mitigate decision-making costs, deploying these policy interventions is not always feasible. Thus, enhancing the quality of policy decision-making is crucial, and evidence suggests that targeted training can boost job performance among policymakers. This study evaluates the impact of a behavioral training course on policy decision-making through a randomized experiment and a survey test that incorporates problem-solving and decision-making tasks among approximately 25,000 participants enrolled in the course. Our findings reveal a significant improvement in the treated group, with responses averaging 0.6 standard deviations better than those in the control group. Given the increasing prevalence of such courses, this paper underscores the potential of behavioral training in improving policy decisions and advocates for further research through additional experimental studies.

Full text
Abstract:
Country safeguard systems are the first line of defense to mitigate the environmental and social impacts of projects that the Inter-American Development Bank finances in the Caribbean. The capacity of authorities to prescribe appropriate environmental and social requirements, and consistently enforce compliance with them, allows countries to control the way human activities impact natural resources, protect public welfare and sustain prosperity. The performance of licensing and compliance functions is increasingly critical in Caribbean countries, as the effects of climate change compound challenges already inherent to the economic growth of small, geographically unique states. Towards building knowledge and promoting shared thinking, this paper presents the IDB's current understanding of the diverse types of environmental licensing and compliance systems found throughout the Caribbean region. The analysis depicts three loosely-defined conceptual models and identifies commonalities and differences in the institutional frameworks and the administration of environmental and social impact assessments (ESIA). The paper briefly illustrates a country system as an example of each model.

Full text
Abstract:
Results from a new experiment shed light on the effects of voter informationon vote buying and incumbent advantage. The treatment provided voters with information about a major spending program and the proposed allocations and promises of mayoral candidates just prior to municipal elections. It left voters more knowledgeable about candidates' proposed policies and increased the salience of spending, but did not affect vote shares and turnout. Treated voters were more likely to be targeted for vote buying. We develop a model of vote buying that accounts for these results. The information raised voter expectations regarding incumbent performance, especially in incumbent strongholds. Incumbents increased vote buying in response. Consistent with this explanation, both knowledge and vote buying impacts were higher in municipalities with dominant incumbents. Our findings show that, in a political environment where vote buying is the currency of electoral mobilization, incumbent efforts to increase voter welfare may take the form of greater vote buying.

Full text
Abstract:
This research examines the effects of inadequate remuneration on the well-being and job satisfaction of public upper secondary school teachers in Vilnius, Lithuania. It highlights the systemic issues surrounding low teacher salaries, focusing on their impacts across social, emotional, physical, occupational, and economic dimensions. Employing a purposive sampling methodology, the study gathers quantitative data through an online survey targeting teachers earning Euro 888-1200 monthly. Findings reveal significant financial strain leading to stress, burnout, and diminished job satisfaction, which adversely affect professional performance and retention. The study underscores the broader implications of undervaluing the teaching profession, including reduced education quality and difficulties in retaining qualified educators. Recommendations emphasize competitive salary increments, improved working conditions, and supportive policies to enhance teacher well-being and sustain educational excellence in Lithuania. By addressing these challenges, this research advocates for systemic reform to ensure the welfare of educators and the advancement of the education system.

Full text
Abstract:
Participatory programs can reduce the informational and power asymmetries that engender mistrust. These programs, however, cannot include every citizen. Hence, it is important to evaluate not only if they affect allocations and trust among those who participate, but also if they could also affect trust among those who do not participate. We assess the effect of an informational campaign about these programs in the context of a survey experiment conducted in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Results show that providing detailed information about a participatory budget initiative shapes voters' assessments of government performance and political trust. Effects are larger for individuals with ex ante more negative views about the local governments quality and for individuals who believe in the ability of their communities to solve the type of collective-action problems that the program seeks to address. Because mistrustful individuals tend to shy away from demanding the government public goods that increase overall welfare, well-disseminated participatory budget programs could affect budget allocations directly and through their effect on trust. Investing in these programs could be worthwhile.
