Every government's major objective is to provide the greatest services in order to establish efficiency and quality of performance. Syria's government has understood how critical it is to go in the direction of information technology. However, there are gaps and poor links across government sectors, which has tainted the image of Syrian e-governance. As a result, one of the main aims of this study is to figure out what factors impact Syrians' acceptance of the e-government system. A total of 600 questionnaires were delivered to Syrian individuals as part of a survey. The data was analysed using the structural equation model (SEM) using AMOS version 21.0. User intention to utilise an e-government system was shown to be influenced by performance expectations, effort expectations, system flexibility, citizens-centricity, and facilitating conditions. Assurance, responsiveness, reliability, tangibles, and empathy are five fundamental factors that have a major impact on government operation excellence. Behavioural Intention is being utilised as a mediator between the government operation excellence (GOE) initiative and the e-government platform.
The Effectiveness of E-Government Initiatives in Improving Public Service Del...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: E-government initiatives have become increasingly popular as a means of improving public
service delivery and citizen engagement. However, there is a need for a comprehensive understanding of the
effectiveness of e-government initiatives and the factors that influence their success. This literature review aims
to synthesize empirical studies published between 2010 and 2021 on the effectiveness of e-government
initiatives in improving public service delivery. The review identified 42 studies that examined various aspects
of e-government initiatives, such as access to services, service quality, citizen satisfaction, trust, participation,
and impact on governance. The review found that e-government initiatives have the potential to improve public
service delivery by enhancing access, quality, and citizen engagement. However, the success of e-government
initiatives depends on several factors, such as adequate infrastructure and resources, effective governance and
leadership, stakeholder involvement and collaboration, and user-centered design and evaluation. The review also
identified several challenges and barriers to the implementation of e-government initiatives, such as digital
divide, data privacy and security, legal and regulatory frameworks, and citizen resistance and skepticism. The
review suggests the need for more research that adopts interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches and
attends to the ethical and social implications of e-government initiatives. This review provides insights into the
current state of knowledge on e-government initiatives and their impact on public service delivery.

Organization citizenship behaviour as a determining Factor in Business outcomeAI Publications
The aim of this research was to look at an organization's citizenship behavior as a deciding factor in business success. The aim of the study was to assess private businesses in Kurdistan, especially in Erbil. To allow the study to measure business outcomes, the researchers used five different dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior. The current study used a quantitative analysis approach in which a questionnaire was adapted from academic sources. Both workers had an equal chance of being chosen for the survey using a random sampling technique. The research was conducted in Erbil's private sector. The researchers distributed 85 questionnaires, but only 75 were returned, and only 67 of the 75 questionnaires were completed correctly. The researcher used multiple regression analysis to measure the established research hypotheses, and the results revealed that all five hypotheses are supported, with the highest value being for fairness perception, as organization citizenship behavior element has a significant influence on business outcome, and the lowest value being for job satisfaction, as organization citizenship behavior element has a significant influence on business outcome. This instrument will be used in future research to further our understanding of organizational learning.
Promoting transparency in university administration through e governanceVijay Bhaskar
The advances in information and communication technology (ICT) has created opportunities to transform the relationship between universities, students and other stake holders in new ways that contribute to the attainment of good governance. They provide choices for the universities and its stake holders to involve in the process of governance at all levels. They facilitate larger participation and better service delivery, thus making governance more efficient and effective. In addition, e-governance may lower transaction costs both for the university and its stake holders. E-governance presents many avenues for improving administrative trans- parency and performance efficiency. It has opened up new opportunities for universities to manage things differently and in a more efficient manner by utilizing information and re-engineering the processes. Many universities have launched specific initiatives for transparent administration. Students are being perceived as clients rather than beneficiaries. The Internet revolution has proved to be a powerful tool for student-centric governance of universities. An important dimension of the Internet potential is the possibility of providing educational services anytime, anywhere. This paper investigates the role of e-governance in promoting trans- parent administration in the universities.

Every government's major objective is to provide the greatest services in order to establish efficiency and quality of performance. Syria's government has understood how critical it is to go in the direction of information technology. However, there are gaps and poor links across government sectors, which has tainted the image of Syrian e-governance. As a result, one of the main aims of this study is to figure out what factors impact Syrians' acceptance of the e-government system. A total of 600 questionnaires were delivered to Syrian individuals as part of a survey. The data was analysed using the structural equation model (SEM) using AMOS version 21.0. User intention to utilise an e-government system was shown to be influenced by performance expectations, effort expectations, system flexibility, citizens-centricity, and facilitating conditions. Assurance, responsiveness, reliability, tangibles, and empathy are five fundamental factors that have a major impact on government operation excellence. Behavioural Intention is being utilised as a mediator between the government operation excellence (GOE) initiative and the e-government platform.
The Effectiveness of E-Government Initiatives in Improving Public Service Del...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: E-government initiatives have become increasingly popular as a means of improving public
service delivery and citizen engagement. However, there is a need for a comprehensive understanding of the
effectiveness of e-government initiatives and the factors that influence their success. This literature review aims
to synthesize empirical studies published between 2010 and 2021 on the effectiveness of e-government
initiatives in improving public service delivery. The review identified 42 studies that examined various aspects
of e-government initiatives, such as access to services, service quality, citizen satisfaction, trust, participation,
and impact on governance. The review found that e-government initiatives have the potential to improve public
service delivery by enhancing access, quality, and citizen engagement. However, the success of e-government
initiatives depends on several factors, such as adequate infrastructure and resources, effective governance and
leadership, stakeholder involvement and collaboration, and user-centered design and evaluation. The review also
identified several challenges and barriers to the implementation of e-government initiatives, such as digital
divide, data privacy and security, legal and regulatory frameworks, and citizen resistance and skepticism. The
review suggests the need for more research that adopts interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches and
attends to the ethical and social implications of e-government initiatives. This review provides insights into the
current state of knowledge on e-government initiatives and their impact on public service delivery.

Organization citizenship behaviour as a determining Factor in Business outcomeAI Publications
The aim of this research was to look at an organization's citizenship behavior as a deciding factor in business success. The aim of the study was to assess private businesses in Kurdistan, especially in Erbil. To allow the study to measure business outcomes, the researchers used five different dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior. The current study used a quantitative analysis approach in which a questionnaire was adapted from academic sources. Both workers had an equal chance of being chosen for the survey using a random sampling technique. The research was conducted in Erbil's private sector. The researchers distributed 85 questionnaires, but only 75 were returned, and only 67 of the 75 questionnaires were completed correctly. The researcher used multiple regression analysis to measure the established research hypotheses, and the results revealed that all five hypotheses are supported, with the highest value being for fairness perception, as organization citizenship behavior element has a significant influence on business outcome, and the lowest value being for job satisfaction, as organization citizenship behavior element has a significant influence on business outcome. This instrument will be used in future research to further our understanding of organizational learning.
Promoting transparency in university administration through e governanceVijay Bhaskar
The advances in information and communication technology (ICT) has created opportunities to transform the relationship between universities, students and other stake holders in new ways that contribute to the attainment of good governance. They provide choices for the universities and its stake holders to involve in the process of governance at all levels. They facilitate larger participation and better service delivery, thus making governance more efficient and effective. In addition, e-governance may lower transaction costs both for the university and its stake holders. E-governance presents many avenues for improving administrative trans- parency and performance efficiency. It has opened up new opportunities for universities to manage things differently and in a more efficient manner by utilizing information and re-engineering the processes. Many universities have launched specific initiatives for transparent administration. Students are being perceived as clients rather than beneficiaries. The Internet revolution has proved to be a powerful tool for student-centric governance of universities. An important dimension of the Internet potential is the possibility of providing educational services anytime, anywhere. This paper investigates the role of e-governance in promoting trans- parent administration in the universities.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management Prospects and...ijtsrd
The diversity of indigenous knowledge systems in India is vast and can vary significantly between different communities and regions. Preserving and respecting these knowledge systems is crucial for maintaining cultural heritage, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering cross cultural understanding. In this paper, an overview of the prospects and challenges associated with incorporating Indian indigenous knowledge into management is explored. It is found that IIKS helps in management in many areas like sustainable development, tourism, food security, natural resource management, cultural preservation and innovation, etc. However, IIKS integration with management faces some challenges in the form of a lack of documentation, cultural sensitivity, language barriers legal framework, etc. Savita Lathwal "Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management: Prospects and Challenges" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-8 | Issue-1 , February 2024, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd63500.pdf Paper Url: https://www.ijtsrd.com/management/accounting-and-finance/63500/integration-of-indian-indigenous-knowledge-system-in-management-prospects-and-challenges/savita-lathwal

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

between effective service delivery and civil service
administration in Rivers State.
Statement of the Problem
It has been noticed that despite the efforts of the
majority of state governments to improve the quality
of service offered through their units and ministries,
there are still significant shortcomings affecting the
effectiveness of the services rendered to the public.
One disadvantage is the delay in task completion; the
time required to complete a task; and numerous others
as a result of the heavy reliance on manual procedures
in processes that could be automated. McGregor
documented in Sharma, Sadana, and Kaur (2013) that
the ordinary human being has an innate distaste for
work and will circumvent it if possible. As a result,
people must be managed, directed, pressured, and
threatened with penalty in order to achieve
organisational goals. In a similar line, Taylor
remarked in Sapru (2013) that inefficiency must be
put on management and labour. He argued that a
worker contributes to the problem of inefficiency
through systematic soldiering or deliberate and
controlled production reduction. However, the
frontline workers in the majority of units receive
insufficient recurrent training on new methods of
service administration. As well, it has been seen that
ministries continue to struggle with personnel data
capture, which is why each governor who takes office
takes on the duty of assuring biometric exercise in
order to identify ghost workers and ensure effective
resource management. Also, it has been asserted that
in the majority of developing nations, such as Nigeria
and particularly in Rivers State, civil service
administration is routinely expensive and
unsatisfactorily successful, discouraging good service
delivery inside the system. Thus, this study will focus
on the link between Civil Service Administration and
Effective Service Delivery in Rivers State. These
concerns prompted an examination of the Civil
Service Administration and its ability to forecast
effective service delivery in Rivers State.
Research Questions
The following research questions are formulated to
guide the study;
1. What is the relationship between the role of civil
service administration and effective service
delivery in River State?
2. What is the relationship between the improvement
in civil service administration and effective
service delivery in River State?
Objectives of the Study
The purpose of this study is to investigate the
relationship between Civil Service Administration
and Effective Service Delivery in Rivers State.
Specifically, the objectives of this study sought to:
1. determine the relationship between the role of
civil service administration and effective service
delivery in River State.
2. ascertain the relationship between the
improvement in civil service administration and
effective service delivery in River State
Research Hypotheses
H01: There is no significant relationship between
the role of civil service administration and
effective service delivery in River State.
H02: There is no significant relationship between
improvement in civil service administration
and effective service delivery in River State.
Conceptual Clarifications
Administration
Administration, as a management philosophy, has
benefited from numerous contributions from scholars
who have invested considerable time and effort in
providing extensive explanations of its true meaning.
These experts' contributions are judged sufficient that
contemporary authors rely on them to elaborate on the
subject. Jayanta and Ratnaprava (2016) quoted Nigro,
who defined administration as the arrangement and
use of individuals and subsistances for the aim of
accomplishing a goal. Moreover, he stated in
Simeon's beliefs that administration is defined as the
activity of organisations cooperating to attain
common aims. Fayol claimed in Sharma, Sadaua, and
Kaur (2013) that administrative processes are
universally similar, as the same administrative skills
are necessary in industry, government, and household
administration. Besides, they highlighted, in the
words of Fayol, that administration is a process that
must occur at all organisational levels. He defined
administration as consisting of five primary elements:
planning, organising, commanding, coordinating, and
controlling. Gulick defined these as POSDCORB,
that has to with planning, organising, staffing,
directing, coordinating, reporting, and budgeting.
According to Gladden, as reported in Marume (2016),
administration is a lengthy and apparently pretentious
term, yet it has a modest meaning, as it is the act of
caring for or looking after people, managing affairs,
and it is purposeful action carried out with a
conscious objective in mind. He used Veig's concept
of administration as purposeful behaviour oriented
toward a certain objective. It is the methodical
organisation of operations and the sensible use of
resources with the objective of obtaining the desired
results while avoiding developments that are in
conflict with our objectives. It is concerned with
marshalling available labour and supplies in order to

get the intended output at the lowest feasible energy,
time, and financial cost..
According to the preceding definitions, the term
"administration" encompasses the following four
distinct perspectives depending on the context in
which it is used. They are as follows: (I)As a
discipline, (ii) As a profession, (iii) As a process, and
(iv) As a synonym for the terms Executive or
Government (Jayanta and Ratnaprava, 2016).
Civil Service Administration
Civil service administration is the engine or vehicle
that propels economic growth in public sectors. To
carry out the government's numerous development
policies, programmes, and projects, the government
establishes a number of specialised administrative
entities generally referred to as public businesses that
operate under the supervision of government
ministries/departments. Due to the close relationship
between the civil service and public service, some
scholars use the words interchangeably. The civil
service's indispensability and incontestability to a
country is perhaps best highlighted by (Emma &Eme,
2011), who contend that it is a branch of government
that is often associated with the Executive and
without which government cannot operate.
As Kwaghga (2010) correctly notes, public service
management is vital to the survival and, indeed,
advancement of any governmental system. In
whatever political arena, the civil service as the
engine of advancement is a sine qua non. The civil
service, in general, provides the appearance of
government, and the effectiveness and productivity of
any government are highly reliant on the efficiency of
the civil service. As the administrative and technical
arm of the political apparatus, the civil service is the
sole viable vehicle for policy formulation, policy
advice, and policy implementation. This may be why
Olaleye (2001) believes that whereas political
leadership without administrative and technical
support is power in a vacuum, administration without
political leadership is only order in a state of
stagnation. The civil service, by virtue of its critical
tasks, is the lifeblood of every nation's growth.
To that effect, Olaopa (2008) observes that although
the term "Civil Service" is often used, it is usually
misinterpreted and abused owing to its lack of
definition. He observes that local laws, customs, and
norms all have an effect on its meaning, and hence
there is no internationally accepted definition.
Maduabum&Gayya, 2004).Adebayo, 2000;
Maduabum&Gayya, 2004.Arowolo (2012) defines
the civil service as a well-organized body of
permanent paid officials allocated to ministries and
departments within the executive arms of government
who are responsible for executing government
policies and programmes in line with established
rules and procedures. According to Asawe (2014), the
civil service is described in Ayeni's definition as
"state officials who are appointed to their government
positions via a non-elective method." These officials
operate in the major ministries and non-ministerial
departments of the government.
While ministers run their respective ministries,
chairmen lead their respective extra-ministerial
entities. Okereke (2003) reaffirmed this stance, noting
that the word "civil service"means government
departments and divisions tasked with the duty of
policy implementation. They are federal, state, and
local government employees who are mainly
responsible for policy implementation and the
providing of inputs to policy creation. According to
Anazodo, Okoye, and Chukwuemeka (2012), the civil
service is the administrative bureaucracy that exists
inside a country's democratic system and is crucial for
achieving sustainable and equitable economic
development. He emphasized the critical significance
of effective and efficient public administration in a
country's long-term socioeconomic growth. Eneanya
(2009:29-41) expanded on this notion by identifying
the following desired characteristics of the civil
service:
Permanence: According to him, the civil service is a
permanent government entity, and personnel have
tenure security. Thus, although governments may
change on a recurring basis, the civil service stays
unchanged.
Neutrality: Political neutrality is critical because it
enables the civil service to devotedly work with any
government in power, regardless of the dominant
party. As a result, state workers are obligated by law
to leave their jobs whenever they express an interest
in party politics. According to Lungu (1998), the civil
service aid all governments regardless of the political
organization in which they vote.
Impartiality: Eneanya (2009) and Emma and Eme
(2011) argue that government servants must perform
their official obligations impartially toward all of the
people they serve, regardless of their religion, class,
gender, ethnic, or other sectoral affiliation.
Anonymity: Civil workers are not held accountable
for their official conduct, but commissioners are held
politically accountable for their ministry's success or
failure. Additionally, Civil Servants are not required
to divulge government secrets or talk to the press
about official topics without the authorization of the
minister managing the ministry.

Expertise: Eneanya (2009) states that while political
office holders may not be specialists in the fields they
supervise, the creation and implementation of
government programmes and policies are heavily
reliant on the competence of civil officials. This is
because the civil service is composed of highly
skilled and experienced professionals in a variety of
professions. According to Emma &Eme (2011), civil
servants are professional men and women who work
as permanent staff in government offices. They are
administrative personnel and are frequently referred
to collectively as public administration, bureaucracy,
or public servant.
Bureaucracy: The civil service is defined by a high
level of conformity to established norms and
regulations. This obstructs the enforcement of
government policies and programmes at times.
Merit system: The Civil Service Commission hires
only persons who are qualified and competent via
competitive written tests and oral interviews. Thus,
hiring processes and advancement in the Civil Service
are typically based on merit and also in line with
established norms and directives.
Dissimilarities between Administration, Public Administration and Civil Service Administration
Concepts Dissimilarities between concepts
Administration
This is generally the use of men and materials to accomplish a purpose for any
organization.
Public Administration
This is a function of administration that is conducted in the public interest. It is
basically has do with the structure of government policies and programmes, as
well as the behaviour of officially accountable authorities.
Civil Service
Administration
It is a well-arranged body of permanent paid officials from government
ministries and agencies entrusted with the duty of carrying out government
plans and programmes in line with established rules and procedures.
Effective Service Delivery
Effective service delivery is often characterised as the ability to accomplish a certain objective, better still, it is
"getting the right things done" (Druker, 2004). In a service management environment, delivery an excellent
service system is described as "the structure (facilities, equipment, etc. ), infrastructure (job design, skills, and so
on), and procedures for delivering a service" (Goldstein, Johnson, Duffy &Rao, 2002). As a consequence of the
foregoing definitions, it is evident that the effectiveness of a civil service is proportionate to the extent to which
a system's goals are realised; hence, an effective civil service is one that is capable of delivering the results for
which it was intended and created. Delivering high-quality services is crucial for service providers interested in
creating and delivering value to their customers (Grönroos&Ravald, 2011). Businesses may increase client
satisfaction, loyalty, and consequentlylong-term income by delivering great service (Zeithaml&Bitner, 2000). In
other words, the Rivers State civil service offers value to the public by delivering high-quality services. Service
organisations must prepare for service delivery and ensure that the actual plan is carried out effectively.
Research Methodology
The aim of this study was to ascertain the relationship between civil service administration and effective service
delivery in Rivers State, Nigeria, using a correlational research design. The population for this study was
comprised of all administrative staff in the Rivers State secretariat's civil service. 80 respondents were chosen
using a simple random sampling technique. The Civil Service Administration Scale (CSAS) and the Effective
Service Delivery Scale were used as research instruments in this study(ESDS). The instruments are divided into
two sections (A and B). Section A elicited demographic information from respondents, whereas Section B
prompted respondents with items related to research questions one and two. The instruments' items were rated on
a Likert scale of Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Disagree (D), and Strongly Disagree (SD) (SD). The
researcher gathered the majority of the data for this study. Eighty (80) questionnaires were distributed to
respondents, and 73 copies were retrieved and determined to be suitable for analysis, resulting in a 91 percent
response rate. The reliability coefficients for the two instruments were calculated using the internal consistency
method and Cronbach Alpha reliability statistics. The Civil Service Administration Scale and the Effective
Service Delivery Scale have reliability coefficients of 0.85 and 0.81, respectively. Pearson Product Moment
Correlation Coefficient (PPMC) statistics were used to analyse the data collected for the study. The correlation
coefficient's value and direction were used to answer research questions. At the 0.05 level of significance, the
same correlation statistics were used to test the corresponding hypotheses.According to Elendu (2010),
Correlation coefficients between 0.90 – 1.00 were considered to be a Very High (VH), 0.70 – 0.80 are High (H)

while correlation coefficients between 0.50 – 0.60 were Moderate (M) and between 0.30 – 0.40 were Low (L)
while below 0.20 (< 0.20) were Very Low (VL).
Results and Analysis
The results of the analysed data for the research questions and its corresponding hypotheses are presented on
tables.
Research Question 1: What is the relationship between the role of civil service administration and effective
service delivery in River State?
Hypothesis (Ho1): There is no significant relationship between the role of civil service administration and
effective service delivery in River State.

To answer the research question one, data on Table1 reveal a correlation coefficient = 0.62. This value is
moderate and positive, indicating that there is moderate and positive relationship between role of civil service
administration and effective service delivery in River State. This implies that increase in the role of civil service
correlates with effective service delivery in Rivers State.
For hypothesis tested, it was revealed from Table 4.1 that r of 0.622 is significant with P < 0.05 because the
calculated probability value of 0.011 is lesser than the critical probability value of 0.05. Therefore, the null
hypothesis is rejected. By implication, there is a significant relationship between the role of civil service
administration and effective service delivery in River State.
Research Question 2: What is the relationship between the improvement in civil service administration and
effective service delivery in River State?
Hypothesis (Ho2): There is no significant relationship between improvement in civil service administration and
effective service delivery in River State.

To answer the research question two, data on Table2 reveal a correlation coefficient = 0.74. This value is high
and positive, indicating that there is a strong and positive relationship between improvement in civil service
administration and effective service delivery in River State. This implies that an improvement in civil service
administration correlates with effective service delivery in River State.

Table 4.1 demonstrates that r of 0.741 is significant with a P value of 0.05 because the calculated probability
value of 0.000 is less than the critical probability value of 0.05. As a result, the null hypothesis is discarded. By
extension, there is a strong correlation between civil service administration improvement and effective service
delivery in River State.
Discussion of Finding
The study's first finding established a moderately
positive association between the civil service
administration's role and effective service delivery in
River State. This implies that the expansion of the
civil service is associated with more effective service
delivery in Rivers State. This finding is consistent
with Ezeani (2006), who stated that the civil service
as a formation through which political organization
execute a variety of tasks, including policy
formulation, policy advice, and policy
implementation, all of which contribute to the state's
effective service delivery and development. In
agreement with this, Osawe (2014) asserted that the
civil service administration's role is to ensure
effective service delivery. According to Osawe
(2014), civil servants provide input into the political
class's decision-making process via memoranda to
their commissioners and permanent secretaries. They
give the political class with information, facts, and
informed opinions. All of these roles have a direct
impact on how civil servants deliver services. As a
result, the role of civil service administration and
effective service delivery in River State are
inextricably linked.
Finally, the study's second finding established a
strong and positive relationship between civil service
administration improvement and effective service
delivery in River State. This means that improved
civil service administration is associated with more
effective service delivery in River State. This
conclusion is consistent with Ezeibe and
Iwuoha(2011), who stated that effective service
delivery and state development are highly reliant on
the organisation and administration of the civil
service. There may be some obvious challenges
confronting the civil service administration that have
hampered active service delivery, but if properly
addressed and addressed, they will result in a
significant improvement in service delivery and state
development (Ezeibe&Iwuoha, 2011). As a result,
there is a strong correlation between civil service
administration improvement and effective service
delivery in River State.
Conclusion
This study has been able to establish that in an ideal
situation civil service administration correlates with
effective service delivery. This portends that a
collection of capable human and material resources
available to manage state affairs in properly
organized will bring about growth and development
in a manner that meets the citizens expectation.
Consequently, this research concludes that;
1. there is significant relationship between the role
of civil service administration and effective
service delivery in River State; and
2. there is a significant relationship between
improvement in civil service administration and
effective service delivery in River State.
Recommendations
Base on the findings and conclusion of this study, the
following recommendations are presented:
1. Rivers State civil service administrators should
take a practical step to strengthen their roles and
capacities under the Public Service Act and
ensure that political interference in the decision-
making process regarding public activities is
circumvented. This is because politicians are not
authorized to engaged in project processes;
frequently, the politician simply instructs public
executives on how projects should be carried out.
As it were, no interference should be made within
the premises of public projects in order to ensure
the state's effective service delivery.
2. Training should be routinely carried out in order
to keep staff abreast with best practices as this
will help them in delivery effective service to the
public. Also, every good policy that is to the
benefits to the general public should will be
properly institutionalized by the state assembly in
such a way that will be difficult for another
administration to reject or ignore the required
responsibilities. All of these will help in the
continuous improvement of civil service
administration for effective service delivery and
development of River State.
3. The public service commission should set up
anonymous channels for submitting complains
relating to corrupt practices perpetrated by
workers and appropriate disciplinary actions
should be taken without compromise. This will
also help to advance it service delivery.
