Delegation of responsibilities constitutes a very important ingredient of good leadership in organisations and is critical to competence development of workers. However, experience shows that many leaders are unwilling to delegate responsibilities to their subordinates for a number of reasons. This study was therefore designed to investigate delegation of responsibilities as a tool for competence development of subordinates in selected organisations in Ibadan metropolis. The study, anchored on Elkem’s model, was descriptive and adopted survey research design with a combination of both quantitative and qualitative approaches. It was conducted on 206 respondents randomly selected from 20 public and private organisations in Ibadan. Questionnaire and IDI were instruments of data collection, while the data collected were analysed using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The study showed that respondents perceived delegation of responsibilities as a vital tool for developing, equipping and motivating subordinates; and that it had positive effects on subordinates’ performance (X2 = 11.14, p-value = 0.001). The study also revealed that lack of confidence in subordinates (79%), level of skill and competence (66%), organisational climate (68%) and bureaucracy (58%) were barriers to delegation of responsibilities. Delegation of responsibilities is a cost-free way of enhancing competence development of subordinates in organisations, and should therefore, be encouraged among leaders irrespective of their levels.

Conflict is a situation where each other conflicts with each other. In the organisation's scope, namely the Student Council, conflict refers to disagreements between people or members of the Student Council. Improper application of conflict management can lead to unsanitary working conditions. It shows the importance of the intervention given to manage conflict, especially in the Student Council, which is through emotional intelligence training. The research design used was experimental (one group pretest-posttest) with 19 subjects (15-18 years). The training consisted of six sessions and was conducted over two days. The results obtained from this study were that there was a significant increase and change in the integrating type (p = 0.027, p<0.05) and compromising (p = 0.021, p<0.05). While the other types, namely domination, avoiding, and obliging, did not experience significant changes. Through emotional intelligence training, participants will learn how to control emotions so that when faced with problems, participants can use appropriate conflict management to solve these problems.
