Title A name given to the resource An Exploratory Assessment of Indirect Tax Contribution by Oil and Gas Companies in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kwarteng Opoku Description An account of the resource In the context of this development, value added tax (VAT) and goods and services tax (GST) rates keep on increasing, the scope of taxes are also expanding at the same time. Governments have put in more effort to increase its revenues so as to reduce deficits, but without endangering the fragile of economic growth or the competitiveness of the local economy. Based on this concept, increasing indirect taxes is deemed to be more suitable, instead of increasing direct taxes like the corporate taxes. In the United States of America for instance, several of the states are extending their scope of their general taxes consumptions. Ghana was among a host of developing countries that experienced fiscal crises in the 1970s and 1980s. These fiscal imbalances led to undesirable impacts on domestic prices, interest rates and balance of payments. The fiscal imbalances also led to differing policy instruments for accelerating growth. There are a number of policy instruments that can be used to accelerate growth. The government of Ghana heavily rely on indirect taxes to boost revenues. For instance, the customs duties and the local excise tax illustrates a much higher percentage of overall tax revenue in the country. Due to the proliferation of the trade agreement and the increasing importance of the oil marketing companies in the country, the consumptions taxes like the VAT and the GST among the oil marketing companies represent a significant portion of government revenue. These challenges do not facilitate an effective tax collection within the sector, hence there is the need for an effective exploratory of indirect tax contribution by these oil and gas companies in Ghana. The researcher opted for the use of the tax payment sheet of these Oil marketing Company and Bulk Distribution Companies. This was however gathered from the Customs Division at the Tema Oil Refinery. The analysis revealed that the respondents were of the view that the tax system was robust in achieving yearly increase in government share of oil revenue, adequate in tax incentives packages necessary for the attraction of foreign direct investments, and sound in terms of international competitiveness. The finding on VAT with one period lag of one suggests some caution on the part of the government to identify all administrative loopholes for leakages to plug and to continue to maximize the contribution of VAT revenue to economic growth.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Environmental Impacts due to oil spillage resulting from Oil and Gas products Transportation: A case study of Chase Petroleum g Ghana Limited Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Diakite Mody Seydou Description An account of the resource Oil spillage is a global worry which is associated with any oil and gas activities mainly during oil and gas products transportations. It is undoubtedly the most responsible for marine and terrestrial organisms acute killing causing biodiversity loss and desertification, human health threatening by several ways which can lead to mortality, loss of job increasing poverty and starvation and displacement; in short it is human’s nightmare. These can no longer continue otherwise the earth will be rendered unlivable for all living things and announced the end for human. In this research, the researcher used both quantitative and qualitative approaches to collect data. Its primary data were gathered from Chase Petroleum Ghana Limited which is one of the largest Ghanaian bulk distribution oil companies while its secondary data were collected from peer reviews, journal and internet. The findings showed that on all environmental issues exposed a mean of 29 respondents representing (71.7%) had admitted oil spillage to have extreme concern in all cases, a mean of six 6 accounting (14.4%) expressed that oil spillage played moderate concern in all cases, and a mean of five 5 weighting (13.9%) attributed that oil spillage produced low concern in all cases. For mitigating such impacts and avoiding similar fail in Ghana mining sector, the research findings demonstrated that the implementation and enforcement of health, safety and environment (HSE) practices have been effective in Chase Petroleum Ghana Limited, but these practices alone are not able to ensure safety during oil and gas products transportation. Therefore, finding showed that they had to be complemented by the following strategies for an effective regulation in order laws enforcement, binding national environmental laws concerning oil and gas transportation to international environmental laws, establishment of national legislations addressing only oil and gas industry, and implementation of Environmental Management System (EMS).

Title A name given to the resource Assessment of Supply Chain Management Practices and its Effect on Performance of Ghana Oil and Gas Downstream Sector: A Case Study of Total Petroleum Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Basirata Abu Description An account of the resource In Ghana, petroleum products account for about 26% of total energy consumption (Ministry of Energy, 2010) and about 70% of Ghana’s commercial energy needs (Oil and Gas in Ghana - Overview, 2013). The Ministry of Energy estimates that the market for major petroleum products in Ghana will grow by 5.3% annually through 2015 and projects this figure is likely to increase if economic growth is sustained. The petroleum industry includes the global processes of exploration, extracting, refining, transporting and marketing petroleum products. The industry is usually divided into three major sectors: upstream, midstream and downstream (Petroleum Industry, Wikipedia, 2013). The upstream is concerned with exploration and production, the midstream deals with storage, marketing and transportation of commodities like crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs, mainly ethane, propane and butane) and sulphur. The downstream sector involves oil refineries, petrochemical plants, petroleum products distributors, retail outlets and natural gas distribution companies. Midstream operations are considered a part of the downstream sector. In Ghana, the upstream sector is regulated by the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), whilst the downstream sector, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA). The discovery of oil in commercial quantities in 2007 raised the expectations of stakeholders and consumers alike of the petroleum sector on its significant role and contribution to Ghana’s developmental efforts in accelerated economic growth, job creation, poverty reduction and general prosperity to the people of Ghana (National Energy Policy, 2010).

Title A name given to the resource Factors Influencing Cyberloafing Behaviour among Employees. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Degnon Cyane Emeline Description An account of the resource The research was mainly to investigate on factors influencing cyberloafing behavior. Basically, the researchers identified the factors influencing cyberloafing within some Ghanaians organizations and critically analyse the impacts of cyberloafing behavior on both employee performance and organization. The researcher examined the determining factors and consequences of cyberloafing behavior, identified the factors at the origin of cyberloafing and then investigated on the controlling measures as a toll for management to eradicate to the phenomenon. The factors that can justify cyberloafing behavior vary from one place to the other. The main factors influencing cyberloafing were found as individual factors, organizational factors, and situational factors. Among the multitude of individual attitudes and behaviors in the workplace, personality traits seem to be the focusing area of many scholars to explain the behavior and might be used in this research as well. The examination of individuals’ prexisting tendencies can provide the proof that the internet is misused. The research was based on one main source of data, quantitative research approach, thus, primary and secondary sources of data collection were used to help identify the result of the study. The primary data sources include collection of data from certain organization in Ghana. Data collection was through the use of questionnaires. Secondary data were obtained through supportive material and research works from text book, articles, report and other electronic sources as well as those from the University library and international journals available online which were a great support for this study. The data analysis were done through one sample t-test to assess cyberloafing prevalence and employee performance, while path coefficient analyses were used to assess factors influencing cyberloafing and its impacts on employee performance. The result revealed that there is a relationship between cyberloafing and employee performance. Further studies also demonstrated that cyberloafing was having a great impact both on employee performance and organization.

Title A name given to the resource The Effectiveness of Health and Safety on Employees Performance: A Case Study of Ghana Oil Company Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Pogo Kelvin Description An account of the resource On 3rd June 2015, the Ghana Oil Limited (GOIL) fuel filling station at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, near the Ghana Commercial Bank Towers in Accra was destroyed by fire during heavy flooding in the capital. The fire gutted the entire station including all the employees who worked at the station. Though one could have attributed the sad incident to the rains, there are frequently asked questions about the health and safety of the employees, whether the company adhere to occupational health and safety principles for their employees, as well as whether there are welfare supports services for the employees amongst others. With respects to accidents, the oil industry appears to disregard that fact that they happened. These studies examined examine the effectiveness of health and safety on employees within the oil and gas industry, considering the case of GOIL. Survey design was used in this study and adopted the quantitative research approach. Forty (40) questionnaires were distributed to respondents selected for the study through convenience sampling technique. The researcher used structured questionnaires to collect data. Microsoft Excel was used in analyzing the data collected. It was found out that using protective clothing, prompt reporting of accidents/injuries and re-training on safety and health practices were the level of awareness of health and safety programmes in the organization. In addition to this, employees were required to put on protective clothing in the performance of their duties. It was recommended that management effort in providing safe work environment through maintenance of effective health and safety system, goes a long way in satisfying worker’s safety needs, and capable of motivating them. Effective workplace health and safety practices can help to save the lives of workers by reducing hazards and their consequences. Subject The topic of the resource MBA.
