An explanatory survey research design was employed. The study population comprised 5,109 academic and non-academic staff from four state-owned institutions: Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rivers State University, Kenule Beeson Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic, and Elechi Amadi Polytechnic. A sample of 370 respondents was determined using Taro Yamane’s formula. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics, including tables, means, and standard deviations, were used for univariate analysis, while Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient, facilitated by SPSS, was used to test hypotheses. Findings revealed a significant positive relationship between electronic administration and employee performance. The study concludes that the adoption of electronic administration positively influences job performance in state-owned tertiary institutions. It is recommended that institutional management continually upgrade electronic administrative systems to enhance communication efficiency and further improve employee performance.</p> Samuel Amaehule Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://dzarc.com/management/article/view/734 Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 A study on the fundamental structural features of Panchayati Raj Institutions https://dzarc.com/management/article/view/735 <p>Panchayati Raj serves as a pivotal governance framework in democratic India, representing the most significant form of decentralized administration at the grassroots level. These institutions empower local communities by transferring decision-making authority to them, enabling active participation in their own development and self-governance. Understanding the structural and functional dimensions of Panchayati Raj Institutions is therefore essential. This paper aims to provide an in-depth insight into key decision-making processes within these institutions. It examines the structural framework of Panchayati Raj Institutions and outlines the types of functions performed across all three levels, highlighting their role in facilitating local governance and development.</p> M.
