Introduction: The
evolution of blockchain
MORE THAN A decade has passed since the introduction of what we know today as blockchain technology. Over that time,
the promise of what the technology could offer
businesses and industries has evolved from a
cryptocurrency payment platform to something
bigger, game-changing, and truly disruptive. In
recent years, we have seen sentiment about
blockchain’s potential similarly evolving, along
with companies directing actual investment
dollars toward applications.
In Deloitte’s 2019 Global Blockchain Survey,
we observed this continuing trend in thinking
and investment, even if some vestiges of doubt
and old-school thinking remained about the
technology’s promise.1 This year’s survey
suggests that those doubts are fading further,
and that blockchain is solidly entrenched in
the strategic thinking of organizations across
industries, sectors, and applications.
There are more substantive examples in
the marketplace of how both startups and
mature businesses are deploying blockchain.
Organizations appear to be more committed than
ever to blockchain and are demonstrating this by
implementing it as part of their normal course
of business.
That’s the key takeaway from our 2020 Global
Blockchain Survey, which finds that leaders no
longer consider the technology groundbreaking
and merely promising—they now see it as integral
to organizational innovation. This year, the C-suite
is putting money and resources behind blockchain
as a strategic solution in more meaningful and
tangible ways—in projects big and not so big—

Influence of Career Development on Retention of Employees in Private Univers...publication11
Retention of employees in universities is paramount for producing quantity and quality of human capital for
economic development of a country. Turnover has persistently remained high in private universities despite
employee attrition by institutions, which can disrupt organizational stability, quality of education and reputation.
Objectives of the study included performance appraisal, staff training and promotion practices on retention of
employees. Correlational research design and quantitative research were adopted. Total population was 85 with a
sample of 70 which was selected through simple random sampling. Data collection was through questionnaire and
analysed using multiple linear regression with help of SPSS. Results showed that both performance appraisal
(t=1.813, P=.076, P>.05) and staff training practices (t=-1.887, P=.065, P>.05) were statistical insignificant while
promotion practices (t=3.804, P=.000, P<.05) was statistically significantly influenced retention of employees.
The study concluded that performance appraisal and staff training has little relationship with employee retention
whereas promotion practices affect employee retention in private universities. Therefore, it was recommended
that organizations renovate performance appraisal and staff training practices while promoting employees
annually, review salary structure, ensure there is no biasness and promotion practices should be based on meritocracy. The findings could benefit management of private universities, Government and researchers.
