1.5 THEORETICAL FRAME WORK
There
are different scholars who conducted theories on the use of committee
and groups meetings in enhancing decision-making but this research work
will focus on forest. Maltzman (1995) who proposed a conditional model
of committees behaviour which argued that the principal of a committee
serves as an agent in congress varies systematically over time and
across committee’s depending on the salience of the committee
jurisdiction compared to that of other committee. However, due to
changes in the salience of policy issues overtime there are reasons to
believe that salience within the committee change over time to reflect
current public opinion and political agend as change in issue salience
should affect the agency of the committee over time within the
committee, just as Maltzman demonstrated that the level of salience
alters the principal among different committees. Using data from the
policy Agendas project for the policy areas of education and labour, it
shows how the salience of the issues committee considered by the House
Education and labour committee changes overtime. Data comparing NOMINATE
scores of the committee members to the scores of the whole chamber and
the party causes will be used to test Maltzman’s conditional theory
within one committee over time. the ideological make up of the
committee’s principal is the full chamber when the salience of issues is
high, but in times of lower salience the scores will show that the
parties are the main principals of the committee. This finding supports
maltz man’s conditional theory but expands it to show that there is
systematic variation principal agent relationship between a committee,
the chamber and parties over time based on the salience of the committee
jurisdiction.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Due to the vast
nature of Nigeria both in public services the scope of this study is
limited to public bureaucracy especially the policy makers in the House
of Assemblies.
Therefore, any useful information obtained
through a research of this study will go a long way to educate the
policy makers or law makers in the federation in enhancing decision
making.
Such knowledge will guide and direct them to achieve their
decision fast without delay this will no doubt contribute to national
growth politically, economically, socially morally and otherwise.
