(Lead City University, 2022-12) Bello, Hauwa Kulu
Drawing on social and psychological well-being literature underpinned by the concept of resilience, this study examines the impact of COVID-19 induced redundancy on the socio-psychological well-being of redundant employees, and its effect on their commitment to work and support recovery in the tourism industry. Utilizing a quantitative methods design, 400 questionnaires were administered, however, 200 were retrieved, and 15 interviews conducted with redundant employees in Bida between October and November 2021. Results from a regression analysis of the survey data supported by qualitative interview analysis indicated that age, marital status, education, monthly income and dependants had significant influence on psychological well-being [R = .50; R2 = .25; F (5, 192) = 13.07; P<.01] and social well-being [R = .36; R2 = .13; F (5, 192) = 5.65; P<.01]. Collectively, demographic factors (age, marital status, level of education, monthly income and dependants) accounted for 25 variance in psychological well-being and 13% variance on social well-being. However, when considered independently, only age (β = .26; t = 2.96; P<.05), marital status (β = -.33; t = -3.92; P<.01), level of education (β = .34; t = 4.75; P<.01) and monthly income (β = .14; t = 2.17; P<.05) were independent predictors of psychological well-being. However, work characteristics had no significant joint influence on psychological well-being [R = .20; R2 = .04; F (4, 193) = 1.91; P>.05]. However, employment status (β = -.15; t = -2.05; P<.05) was found to have independent influence on psychological well-being. As regards social well-being, when combined, work characteristics had significant joint influence on social well-being during COVID-19 pandemic[R = .22; R2 = .05; F (4, 193) = 2.50; P<.05]. However, only employment status (β = -.16; t = -2.18; P<.05) and employed household (β = -.15; t = -2.05; P<.05) was found to have independent influence on social well-being. Meanwhile, psychological well-being significantly influenced future work commitment in the industry. Managerial implications for supporting employee resilience, well-being, and future recovery strategies are critically examined. The study finds out that the fear of economic crisis and non-employability enhances the perceived job insecurity among the employees and is becoming the root causes for various socio-psychological problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and uncertainty during the covid-19 outbreak. The study concludes that the findings contributes to our understanding of how tourism employees' social and psychological wellbeing affects their ability to take part in the industry's post-crisis recovery efforts. Therefore it is recommended that the Niger state government and the players in the tourism sector should create and execute employee pay assistance programs and a strategy to reduce insurance premiums. Stake holders must select the path of survival by minimizing losses rather than taking the company's profit into account in order to recover from the COVID-19 catastrophe.

Proposed Broadcasting Training Centre, Itapa Ekiti (Acoustic Improvement through Space - Function Resolution)
(Lead City University, 2022-12) Johnson Oyewole FADEYI
Broadcasting Training Centres are important for training broadcasters. Properly trained Broadcasters are part of the essential workforce needed for effective functioning of Radio Stations. Acoustic design is a key part of Radio Station design. Although the live and recording studios receive the most attention with respect to acoustics, other key functional spaces must be properly designed and fitted acoustic wise. Circulation in architecture, is the movement of people and objects between interior spaces in buildings and to entrance and exit points. Circulation spaces are the connectors of other spaces in a design. They allow for transit between functional spaces. However, circulation spaces generate noise, hence they should be properly designed and fitted. This deign thesis seeks to treat the task of meeting acoustic requirement of a broadcast training centre with the basic architectural tool of effective grouping of spaces based on function and noise attributes. This essentially requires that buildings in the proposal should be deliberately designed with circulation in mind as part of the concerns for achieving broader goal of enhancing acoustics. Literature show that resolution of acoustic need is crucial in determining how successful a broadcast radio station design would be. It is on this background that this thesis stands. Four (4) broadcasting training facilities within and outside Nigeria were studied. The methodology adopted is the Case Study approach. Findings showed that in all the case study buildings, consideration was given to acoustic, mostly through material selection. Based on the literature and information gathered from this design thesis, it is recommended that designers should ensure that effective resolution of acoustic requirements should be prioritised from their early design conceptualisations, working in close collaboration with seasoned broadcast personnel.
