Its far-reaching consequences are a threat to the planet and future generations. Economic growth brought about by rapid industrialisation, increased economic activities, and globalisation has not only improved gross domestic product (GDP) and material well-being globally but consequently increased the emission of greenhouse gases, which in no doubt has far-reaching catastrophic impacts on society in the short-term and long term. Climate change, deforestation, pollution, natural resource depletion, food shortage and loss of biodiversity are interconnected problems of environmental deterioration. Climate change harms ecosystems and food security, increases global inequality, and brings about more frequent and severe weather events-deforestation results in habitat loss-destabilising ecosystems and reducing biodiversity. Pollution from industries, agricultural activities, and urban sources endanger ecosystems and harm human health. Like never before, harmonising the concepts of people (society), profit (economy) and the planet (environment) to achieve a sustainable solution has been more crucial.

It explores how these socio-political factors hinder economic performance in an environment where government efforts to enhance growth are critically undermined. The findings reveal that both corruption and insecurity significantly impede economic growth in the long run, with insecurity also leading to immediate disruptions in agricultural and regional productivity. The study confirms a negative long-term relationship between these variables and economic growth, suggesting the need for comprehensive policy reforms aimed at combating corruption and enhancing security to foster a conducive atmosphere for economic development. The recommendations include decentralizing policing, implementing anti-dumping measures, and promoting educational campaigns on family planning to mitigate the effects of rapid population growth, particularly in regions most affected by insecurity.

It aims to investigate the impact of various financial development indicators, such as domestic credit to the private sector, broad money, market capitalization, and gross fixed capital formation, on economic growth. The research utilizes the ARDL Bound test for cointegration and error correction modeling to provide accurate long-run and short-run elasticity estimates. Preliminary findings reveal a complex interplay between these financial indicators and economic growth, with both positive and negative relationships identified across different measures. Additionally, Granger causality tests are conducted to determine the direction of causality between financial development and economic growth, highlighting significant bidirectional influences. The study contributes to the existing literature by employing a robust methodological framework to capture the dynamics of financial development's role in an emerging economy like Nigeria, offering valuable insights for policymakers to enhance financial sector efficacy and overall economic prosperity.

Utilizing quantitative methods including Chi-Square, ANOVA, and regression analysis, the research examines the relationship between job satisfaction and factors such as business travel, age, education level, and employment history among IBM employees. Results indicate that business travel and demographic variables significantly affect job satisfaction. The findings suggest a positive correlation between extensive business travel and higher job satisfaction while varying educational levels show significant differences in age among employees. Additionally, the regression analysis highlights the impact of employment stability and job role duration on organizational loyalty. This research contributes to strategic human resource practices by providing insights that can help enhance employee satisfaction and retention in the rapidly evolving ICT sector. The study underscores the importance of tailored human resource strategies that accommodate diverse employee backgrounds and experiences to foster a more productive and satisfied workforce.
