Abstract: The purpose of the present research is to investigate the role of emotional intelligence in counterproductive work behavior in the Local Government Organizations. The relationship between counterproductive work behavior, emotional intelligence and job satisfaction is also explored. A quantitative empirical survey was conducted in the public sector and especially in the Municipality of Chalkida, in Greece. The research findings have shown that job satisfaction has a negative correlation with counterproductive work behavior and positive correlation with emotional intelligence. Additionally, counterproductive work behavior & emotional intelligence are influenced by age. Emotional intelligence has high score among the employees of the Municipality of Chalkida and this indicates a low tendency to exhibit counterproductive work behavior. The generalisation of the findings are potential limited by the fact that the sample consisted only of employees within a particular local government. Εbracing such surveys by local governments will be of use to resources management strategies and plans so as to improve human resources performance and create a work environment that is as optimal as possible. Additionally, they will improve citizens service and that will lead to a better reputation and value of the public organisations. The present study contributes to the literature on emotional intelligence and counterproductive work behavior in the work place by investigating the relationship between them.

Abstract: Corruption and tax evasion remain main problems in both developed and developing countries. So, contribution of this study was to extend the conventional determinants of tax revenue over gross domestic product not only supply factor but also demand factor such as corruption, political stability, and rule of low which determine the tax revenue over gross domestic product to a significant extent. Panel regression model was used for analysis. Panel data were collected from 33 developing and developed countries for the period of 2002-2017. The data sets which were used in model analysis were obtained from the database of the world development indicators. As the fixed effect regression result indicates corruption has significant adverse effect on government tax revenue over gross domestic product in both developed and developing countries. The least corrupted countries collect 6% more tax revenue than high corrupted countries. The great progress in corruption has to be monitored and reduced. So, corruption no longer considered as an exogenous factor in an economy, it should be considered as a controlled and minimized phenomenon by the democratic institution and civil society. Therefore legislative reforms have to be continued in order to diminish corruption.

So, the study was aimed to identify determinant of market outlet choice on chickpea farmers in Dembia district. A two stage sampling technique was used to determine sample size. A total of 150 sample households were randomly selected for an interview using a semi-structured questionnaire and key informants were the other method of data collection. Multivariate probit model was employed to identify the factor affecting chickpea market outlet choices. The result of multivariate probit model showed that literacy status, owning transport facility, livestock holding, chickpea yield and access to extension service significantly influenced the choice of chickpea market outlet choice in the study area. The common underlying factors of market channel choice were also identified. Based on the results, the study recommended that traders, local and national governments, none governmental organizations, policy makers and stakeholders should focus on strengthening the existence formal and informal education, chickpea production system, in improving extension system, strengthening the existing rural telecom and rural-urban infrastructure to achieve good market chain system in the study area as well as at the country level.
