Magister Artium (Psychology) - MA(Psych) / Western Cape has the highest prevalence rates of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) with prevalence rates of 18.5%, versus the national average of 13.3%. Existing studies have emphasised that SUD is associated with exposure to trauma and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In addition, demographic factors such as gender, race and socio-economic status have been correlated with SUD. However, limited research exists on the correlates of SUD among inpatients at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in the Western Cape Province. The study aimed to address this gap in the literature by investigating the correlates of SUD among inpatients at SUD rehabilitation treatment facilities.

The purpose of this quantitative study was to expand understanding of leadership behaviors and their influence on follower engagement. Researchers have shown that engagement is a predictor of retention and organizational performance. Leadership theory and the conceptual framework of worker engagement were the study's theoretical anchors. Despite a proliferation of leadership studies, engagement antecedents are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to narrow the gap in the literature by examining the extent to which there may be a relationship between college instructors' behaviors and student engagement. Although not traditionally regarded as frontline leaders, extant leadership literature affirmed college instructors' organizational position, role, and responsibilities as direct supervisors and students as their followers. The independent variables were instructor behavior, institutional support, and depth of learning. Student engagement was the dependent variable. Correlation and regression analysis were applied to existing survey data collected in 2014 from students who were enrolled in a diverse, urban community college located in a major metropolitan city in the United States. The most prominent finding, that leadership behaviors had the strongest correlation to student engagement, contributed to the body of leadership knowledge by reaffirming leadership behaviors as a predictor of follower engagement. Given the increasing diversity of workers and followers, this study's findings have the potential to help leaders more effectively engage followers who are members of historically marginalized groups, thereby, helping to narrow equity gaps and advance social justice, particularly in higher education.

The main objective of this research is to determine if there is a relationship between the degree of compliance with good corporate governance and the added economic value generated by entities in the Peruvian banking sector. The present work seeks to determine the correlation between these two variables. To do this, a quantitative investigation was used using the classification of the degree of compliance with good corporate governance established by banking entities, and the economic added value. In addition, the procedures to measure the economic added value were applied, beginning with the estimation of the net operating profit before taxes and the weighted average cost of capital and capital invested. Subsequently, through correlational analysis and the use of linear regressions, it will be determined whether the aforementioned relationship exists. Finally, the conclusions obtained approve the considerable relationship between the degree of compliance with good corporate governance and the added economic value in the entities of the banking sector in Peru. / Tesis
