Abstract

Despite failing the test of local acceptance, customary law often applies to intestate administration of property rights in Nigeria. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting will-making for property transfer by descent and the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) of property managers in a city where intestacy is widespread. Using a set of data collected from 306 respondents by survey in Lagos, factor analysis was applied to analyze the variables affecting will-making. Also, data were collected from 114 property managers and analyzed using binary logistic regression to examine the effect of CSR on will-making. The results show that the factors affecting the possibility of making a will for property rights transfer can be classified into three major themes, namely; social impact, family structure, and belief. Only one of the 14 factors analyzed was excluded from the theme due to a poor factor loading (<0.05), which put its effect in doubt. The ownership of a valid will is generally low. None of the low- and middle-income housing respondents had a will, while only 26% of the respondents in the high-income housing had a will. The binary logistic test of hypothesis reveals a significant relationship between property managers’ ethical CSR and will-making at 0.05 α. However, none of the property managers surveyed had incorporated the ethic into property management practice.

摘要

尽管没有通过当地认可度的检验，但习惯法通常适用于尼日利亚的无遗嘱财产管理。这项研究的目的是分析影响具有遗嘱的财产转让的遗嘱产生的因素，以及在一个普遍存在契约的城市中财产管理者的企业社会责任（CSR）的影响。利用在拉各斯进行的调查，从306名受访者收集的一组数据中，运用因子分析来分析影响意愿制定的变量。此外，还从114位物业经理那里收集了数据，并使用二元logistic回归进行了分析，以检验CSR对遗嘱制定的影响。结果表明，影响产权转让意愿的因素可以分为三个主要主题：社会影响力，家庭结构和信仰。由于较差的因子加载量（<0.05），因此仅分析了14个因子中的一个，将其排除在主题之外，这使其效果令人怀疑。有效遗嘱的所有权通常较低。中低收入住房的受访者中没有一个有意愿，而高收入住房的受访者中只有26％有意愿。假设的二元逻辑检验表明，物业管理者的道德CSR与在0.05α时的遗嘱之间存在显着的关系。但是，没有接受调查的物业经理将道德操守纳入物业管理实践。而只有26％的高收入住房受访者有意愿。假设的二元逻辑检验表明，物业管理者的道德CSR与在0.05α时的遗嘱之间存在显着的关系。但是，没有接受调查的物业经理将道德操守纳入物业管理实践。而只有26％的高收入住房受访者有意愿。假设的二元逻辑检验表明，物业管理者的道德CSR与在0.05α时的遗嘱之间存在显着的关系。但是，没有接受调查的物业经理将道德操守纳入物业管理实践。
