“…For students across the globe, the university experience marks one of the first major transitions into adult life (Dolberg & Amit, 2023). As young people navigate this transition, they must adapt to novel educational and social experiences in ways that can strain their psychological resources (Ebuka et al, 2022; Phungsoonthorn & Charoensukmongkol, 2022). Students in Africa are susceptible to many of these stressors that can be further compounded by cultural and contextual factors (Atuahene & Owusu-Ansah, 2013; Yussuf et al, 2013).…”

Collectivist values may influence one’s display of self-esteem. Past research has established an association between psychological well-being and individuals’ appraisal of their value as a member of a social group, self-evaluation as an individual, and perception of others’ evaluation of their group (collective self-esteem). This study examined collective self-esteem, specifically whether private and public collective self-esteem and member self-esteem predicted psychological well-being alongside individual self-esteem in a sample ( N = 416) of university students in Ghana. A linear regression tested the predictive ability of collective self-esteem for depression and anxiety symptoms. The results indicated that while individual self-esteem was related to lower levels of anxiety and depression symptoms, collective self-esteem was unrelated. In our sample of Ghanaian students, these findings suggest that personal self-esteem is more meaningful than collective self-esteem for their psychological well-being. This knowledge is instrumental for informing mental health interventions for this group.

“…Employees are said to be the backbone of many organizations, irrespective of the shapes and forms of the business. The performance of employees and their commitment to duty determines to a great extent the sustainability of organizations (Ebuka et al, 2022). When employees are managed properly and deliberately, it would add to organizational performance improvement (Khan, 2020).…”

“…An effective workforce and employee base that is knowledgeable and committed, represent the most important asset composition of such firms where they work, and determine to a great extent how the aspiration of such firms will be achieved (Popescu, Georgescu, & Grapă, 2019;Riyanto, B, & Ali, 2017). Supporting this assertion, Ebuka, Ngozi, Obianuju, and Peace (2022) aver that human capital is the most prominent capital that any form of organization can have. Hence, the owners and managers of organizations need to have a thorough understanding of what affects and influences the performance of these employees (Phina, Patrick, & Nwabuike, 2022), where the performance of human capital is the capacity of the workforce of an organization to use their knowledge, skills and ability in a productive way in organizations (Komakech, Obici, & Mwesigwa, 2021).…”

Purpose: This study determined workplace bullying and how it affects employees' performance, while it specifically examined workplace aggression and how it relates to the occupational stress of workers in the selected manufacturing firms in Anambra State. Research Methodology: The study made use of a survey research design. The population consisted of 167 staff of 10 selected manufacturing and made use of the census method in sampling. The data collection instrument was a Likert-structured questionnaire which was subjected to both validity and reliability tests. Data analysis was done using simple regression and the hypothesis was tested at a 5% level of significance. Result: The finding revealed that a positive relationship exists between workplace aggression and occupational stress and that a 90% change in occupational stress is a result of changes in workplace aggression (R = .904; R2 = 898; F statistics = 7097.588; p-value < .05). Limitation: The study made use of just 10 manufacturing firms which might reduce the inferrability of the work. Contribution: The study provided empirical evidence as to the relationship between workplace aggression and occupational stress in manufacturing firms in Anambra State which appear not to have been done before. Novelty: The study made use of a self-structured questionnaire that took into consideration the operational environment of the firms and the characteristics of the employees and work relationships. Keywords: 1. Workplace Bullying 2. Employee Performance 3. Workplace Aggression 4. Occupational Stress 5. Manufacturing Firms

“…So, students are more likely than employees to experience melancholy and exam anxiety, whereas good job habits help people feel less stressed out (Gallea, Medrano, & Morera, 2021;Hafezi & Etemadinia, 2022). After graduation, students in Bangladesh face an extremely challenging environment that requires them to master a variety of skills in order to succeed academically, just like international students do, otherwise they may suffer psychological problems (Ebuka, Ngozi, Obianuju, & Peace, 2022;Lund et al, 2018;Masud, Mensah, Subarna, & Hasan, 2023;Milon, Islam, & Khan, 2021). For the analysis of the position of the graduates of BRUR, many students from lower-class and lowermiddle-class families who attend public universities strive to secure better jobs to retain their status (Nasir & Neger, 2022).…”

Purpose: The goal of this study is to present the results for job seekers who have graduated from public universities. Methodology/approach: Quantitative and qualitative methods were used in this study. The data were gathered from 200 job-seeker students at Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR), between February and May 2022. The study adopted a purposive sampling technique to select respondents and seven case studies to draw qualitative conclusions. The study also employed The chi-squared test was used to test the hypotheses.. Results/Findings: The results of the hypothesis are as follows: there is a strong relationship between economic crisis and highly salaried jobs ( ); a medium relationship between more time to complete graduation and the pressure on job career ( ); a medium relationship between lower preparation for a job and more participants than job capacity ( ); and finally, a medium relationship between cultural influence on respondents’ behavior and alienation from family and relatives ( ). This study also discovered that pressure on students comes from a variety of sources, including family, workplace, cultural hegemony, and academic pressure. Finally, the study concludes that students may reduce demands, the government can increase employment, and jobless youth may develop self-servicing possibilities for living. Limitations: The researchers had limitations because, even without these findings, the environment and appropriateness might be advantageous for graduates instead of pressures. Another barrier is time and money. Contribution: Students, job seekers, and society at large who are concerned about unemployment and the programs that may address it both domestically and internationally will find the research to be helpful.
