1. Women and the Leadership Paradigm: Bridging the Workplace Gender-Gap in Nigeria

Author

Longe, J O

Abstract

Women in top leadership positions have not attained the desired representation in business and government establishments within the Nigerian socio-economic environment. Thus, this study examined the leadership attributes of men and women in higher occupational echelons and the inhibitory dynamics preventing female employees from achieving equal upward career mobility like their male counterparts in work-organisations. The participants in this study were 400 top-ranking executives of government establishments and private business organisations contacted through a purposive sampling technique. However, 362 respondents fully participated in the study. Questionnaire was the major instrument used for data collection. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Findings specifically revealed an assumed differential in the leadership attributes of both sexes, but this variance was no impediment to women’s leadership effectiveness on their task performance. Despite this, women still faced higher odds of frictions and greater sex-typed expectations which decelerated their career mobility unlike their male counterparts. The study also found that there had been improvement but not equal representation, since the society decided the norms for advancement to higher leadership status. It concluded that for sustainable progress, both men and women should be accorded same opportunity in preferment to leadership positions in order to contribute to decision making and policy implementation in the work place

Abstract

Human height is associated with risk of multiple diseases and is profoundly determined by an individual's genetic makeup and shows a high degree of ethnic heterogeneity. Large-scale genome-wide association (GWA) analyses of adult height in Europeans have identified nearly 180 genetic loci. A recent study showed high replicability of results from Europeans-based GWA studies in Asians; however, population-specific loci may exist due to distinct linkage disequilibrium patterns. We carried out a GWA meta-analysis in 93 926 individuals from East Asia. We identified 98 loci, including 17 novel and 81 previously reported loci, associated with height at P < 5 × 10(-8), together explaining 8.89% of phenotypic variance. Among the newly identified variants, 10 are commonly distributed (minor allele frequency, MAF > 5%) in Europeans, with comparable frequencies with in Asians, and 7 single-nucleotide polymorphisms are with low frequency (MAF < 5%) in Europeans. In addition, our data suggest that novel biological pathway such as the protein tyrosine phosphatase family is involved in regulation of height. The findings from this study considerably expand our knowledge of the genetic architecture of human height in Asians., (© The Author 2014. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.
