Several authors have researched workplace circumstances and employee performance in organisations. Personal observations, documented observations, and discoveries in the literature all provided an incentive for this investigation. Some systematic observations revealed that academic staff in Nigerian universities are subjected to some unfavourable workplace conditions, even though they are expected to perform well in teaching, publish quality research papers that can contribute to global knowledge and development, and engage in community development services. Major theories have attempted to explain employee productivity in the workplace. Using secondary data, this article explores the Two Factor model by Fredrick Herzberg, the Contingency theory of leadership and the Expectancy theory by Victor Vroom. They were most relevant in associating motivating factors with the work performance of employees in the organisation. The criticisms of each theory have paved the way for theoretical triangulation and, thus, a synthesis of all three theories to explain the work performance of academic staff members in Nigerian universities. The article resolved that incentives are indeed essential in order to increase the performance of academic staff in Nigerian universities.

Ujemne stopy zwrotu z akcji w długim okresie po pierwszych ofertach publicznych zostały potwierdzone na wielu rynkach, jednak wyjaśnienie przyczyny tego zjawiska jest niejednoznaczne. Badanie niedowartościowania jest istotne, ponieważ pozwala to lepiej zrozumieć rolę rynków akcji w systemie finansowym. Taka anomalia rynkowa wpływa na zachowanie inwestorów w dłuższej perspektywie. Niedowartościowanie jest szeroko opisywane w literaturze i zostało potwierdzone w większości przypadków. Nie wiadomo jednak, co wpływa na takie zjawisko na rynkach. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie teorii wyjaśniających zjawisko, które opierają się na zachowaniach uczestników rynku, oraz podsumowanie zmiennych objaśniających zjawisko niedowartościowania wynikających z teorii.

Negative returns of shares in the long run after initial public oferings have been confirmed on many markets, however the explanation for the cause of this phenomenon is ambiguous. Investigating underperformance is important because it allows for a better understanding of the role of the stock markets in the financial system. Such a market anomaly influences the behaviour of investors in the long run. Underperformance features in an extensive body of empirical literature and has been confirmed in most cases, yet it is inconclusive as to what afects such phenomenona on the markets. The purpose of this paper was to present the explanatory theories based on the behaviour of market participants and to summarise the explanatory variables of underperformance that stem from the theory.
