Water Governance Outcomes of Natural Spring Development Project in Ibadan City, Nigeria
(Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences, 2014-10) Oloukoi, Grace
Using governance indicators, this paper evaluates service outcomes of communities’ initiatives in the development of natural springs that have been
in operation for the past one- and-a-half decades in Ibadan city, Nigeria. Natural spring water projects as alternative water supply sources to forestall impending
water supply shortages in Ibadan were facilitated by the Sustainable Ibadan Project (SIP). This study made use of document review, site visitation and
informal interviews. In addition, 280 households were sampled for water access survey in four local communities that had benefitted from the natural spring
project. Research results show that the strategy has provided improved water access in the beneficiary communities. Also, the spring water projects in the
case study communities have been sustained over time through cost recovery, community-based management and service efficiency, thereby fulfilling
governance indices. The paper recommends the institutionalisation of the adopted strategy for further replication of spring water development in
communities where such resources are available towards improved water access in Nigeria.

Relationship between Leadership and Job Satisfaction: A Correlational Study of Staff of the Delta State University Teaching Hospital Oghara, Delta State, Nigeria
(Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences, 2014-10) Okwendi, Solomon Joseph; Nwankwoala, Richard
Previous studies have identified many factors that influence the level and quality of job satisfaction enjoyed by employees. However, the current study
was not interested in just identifying general factors that influence job satisfaction of employees but focused specifically on finding out if there is a
relationship between leadership behaviour of individual managers and subordinates’ job satisfaction of employees. The study population sample
was drawn from the staff of one of the fastest growing teaching hospitals in Nigeria, the Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara, Nigeria. A
mail in questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents. The results indicated that there was a strong positive relationship between perceived
transformational leadership behaviour of the managers/supervisors and employee job satisfaction. It is hoped that findings from this study will provide
an enhanced understanding of the nature of the relationship between perception of leadership behaviour and employee job satisfaction.
Overall, the findings from this study will help the management of the Teaching Hospital to adequately prepare leaders and workers in the healthcare field
with effective skills and knowledge that will enable them to create and foster a work environment that enhances employee satisfaction.

Knowledge and Attitude to Sexually Transmitted Infections and Premarital Sexual Behaviour of Adolescents with Hearing Impairment in Selected Secondary Schools in Ibadan
(Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences, 2014-10) Onyezere, John Osondu; Onyezere, Joyce Ifeoma
Adolescents in Nigeria are contributing to unfavorable indices of sexual and reproductive health ranging from sexually transmitted infections, unwanted
pregnancies, and unsafe abortions to maternal mortality. Neglect of this population has major implications for the future as the sexual and
reproductive behaviour imbibed during adolescence has a way of impacting upon adult life. This study, therefore, focused on knowledge and attitude to
sexually transmitted infections and premarital sexual behaviour of adolescents with hearing impairment in selected secondary schools in Ibadan.
Descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. Sixty respondents were selected from public secondary schools using purposive
sampling technique. The main instrument used in gathering data was a self-developed questionnaire on knowledge and attitude to sexually
transmitted infections and premarital sexual behaviour of adolescents with hearing impairment. Three hypotheses were tested and one research question was answered.
The reliability coefficient of r = .82 was obtained using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. Ten trained research
assistants were used during data collection. Data were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages for the demographic part of the instrument
and the research questions, while t-test was used to test the hypotheses formulated for the study. The result showed significant difference (Crit-t =
1.96, Cal.t =2.387, df=58, P < .05) on attitude to sex between male and female adolescents with hearing impairment, while in the other two
hypotheses centering on knowledge of sexually transmitted infections and premarital sexual behaviour as it has to do with male and female adolescents
with hearing impairment no significant difference was found. On the preferred source of sex information, the result showed that 25 out of the 60
respondents representing 41.7% picked “Friends” as the preferred source. In conclusion, it was found that there is a significant difference in the attitude
to sex between male and female adolescents with hearing impairment in selected secondary schools in Ibadan, while no significant difference was
found between male and female adolescents with hearing impairment in relation to knowledge of sexually transmitted infections and premarital sexual
behaviour. Therefore, it was recommended that hearing impaired adolescents should be assisted to have access to correct and adequate SRH information
through the efforts of specialist teachers and counselors.
