Abstract: Ethiopia has an estimated population of more than 90 million. Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy and approximately 83.2% of the country's population live in the rural areas. Ethiopia is one of the least developed countries. The per capita income of the country is only USD 550 during the current period. Poverty and food insecurity are the main challenges and fundamental issues of economic development in Ethiopia. To address the issues of development and food insecurity, several microfinance institutions (MFIs) have established and have been operating towards resolving the credit access problem of the poor.
The establishment of sustainable MFI that reach a large number of rural and urban poor who are not served by the conventional financial institutions, such as the commercial banks, has been a prime component of the new development strategy of Ethiopia. Healthy financial and operating performance of microfinance institutions is very important for their well-functioning and to serve their clients properly. The motivating philosophy of this paper is that unless MFIs become viable and sustainable financial institutions, they can never fully realize their objective of reaching a greater number of poor people. In light of this, this paper has attempted to look at the Financial and Operating Performance of Specialized Financial and Promotional Institution (SFPI) at firm level and compare against the Industry Average (I.A) from Sustainability, Profitability and Outreach level perspectives. The major theme of this study is to examine the institutional-level financial and operating performance of SFPI. Data for the study were from secondary sources and various ratios and indicators were used to measure the performance of SFPI. Fifteen years data from 2000 to 2014 were used to see the trend in its performance and revealed through tables, figures and ratios. The major finding of the study indicates that, the percent of women borrowers of SFPI is higher than the percent of women borrowers of the Industry Average.
The Financial Sustainability and Profitability of SFPI is going down the ladder of Sustainability and Profitability measures during the periods of the study. On average SFPI is operationally self-sufficient at around 111.44% over the sixteen years period. Keywords: Outreach and Sustainability, Specialized Financial and Promotional Institution (SFPI).

Abstract: Toxic bosses generate a series of adverse reactions in corporate, non-profit organizations, government, educational and religious institutions. First, what do I mean by a “toxic” boss? I’m talking about the manager who: is quick to criticize and slow to praise, calls out individuals with the intent to humiliate instead of coach, takes credit for the team’s good work, but blames them when there is a failure, has high employee turnover, and fosters hostility within the team.
At some point in your career, you will probably have to deal with the toxic boss or co-worker. These individuals make it difficult to perform your job to the best of your ability. They can also cause you to suffer from low self-esteem, and will do everything in their power to belittle you while you are trying to do your job. Instead of encouraging you, they spend most of their time in finding faults. In these situations, you can either find another job or knowledge to deal with the toxic behavior. These individuals even causes high employee turnover to the organization.
The main objective of the study is to analyze the level of damage caused by toxic bosses on employees and to the growth and development of an organization. This article will help employees to learn how to avoid becoming a scapegoat in order to survive the assaults of toxic bosses, giving a narcissist and rigid bosses of the things that need to be satisfied with you. It will also help senior management and human resources professionals to take serious measures against toxic bosses before they cause serious, irrevocable damage to an organization.
