A conceptual framework for analysing compensation for expropriation of customary property rights

Abstract

PurposeThis paper develops a conceptual framework that is applicable in various compensation settings vis-a-vis relevant legal frameworks, compensation processes and practices, compensation outcomes and adequacy of resultant compensation by using a common evaluative framework, to address the lack of such a conceptual framework in the compensation literature. Also, by developing a new conceptual framework, this paper provides a platform and an analytical tool for anchoring and analysing future research on compensation for expropriation of various property rights.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual paper is based on original thought and review of literature on compensation for expropriation.FindingsA critical analysis of existing literature on compensation for expropriation of customary properties reveals that most studies are inadequately informed by relevant compensation theories and that each study uses its own tailor-made analytical framework. This entails that there is no general conceptual framework for anchoring new studies in compensation and aid in extrapolating their results to similar populations and contexts.Originality/valueThis paper makes novel contribution to knowledge by developing a new conceptual framework for analysing compensation for expropriation of customary property rights, which is not there currently. Essentially, by developing the new conceptual framework, this paper provides a basis for anchoring new research works in compensation and their analyses, thereby making a further contribution to knowledge.

Do high-performance Employee influenced Work Motivation and Compensation in a Corporations?

“…In addition, this study's findings support Prasetyo [38], with a particularly strong finding being that employee motivation and compensation are linked to employee performance. The results of this study are in line with the research of Yuningsih, Harini & Rifky [39]; Seran, Ariyani, & Heriani [40]; Nurwadi, Maryadi, & Rahwandi [4]; Aman-Ullah, Aziz, Ibrahim, Mehmood, and Aman-Ullah [16]; Kabanga, and Mooya [41] which explain that compensation has a positive impact on employee performance. Offering sustainable remuneration will assist employees in becoming familiar with the business and adjusting their abilities to the demands of the business.…”

Navigating urbanization implications: effects of land expropriation on farmers’ livelihoods in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

“…Guided by the principle of just compensation, indemnity theory states that governments should be forced to pay just compensation when they exercise eminent domain to take private land use rights for public development schemes that meet public purposes. The land use rights holders affected by the expropriation should be compensated with the full market value of their lost assets (Admasu et al, 2019;Kabanga and Mooya 2022).…”

“…Land-lost farmers should not be adversely affected by the losses to their land. Maintaining fairness and equity at times of substantial losses to their livelihoods (Mugisha, 2015;Admasu et al, 2019;Kabanga and Mooya 2022).…”

“…It claims that farmers who lost their land use rights should be compensated based on the government's net benefits to minimize wastage in public resource utilization. For this purpose, compensation should be aligned with the actual gain the government drives from the expropriated land to allocate resources more effectively (Barańska, 2017;Kabanga and Mooya 2022).…”
