Title A name given to the resource Microfinance and credit rationing: does the microfinance type matter? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource F Sackey, L Diaz-Serrano Description An account of the resource Abstract© 2017,© 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This study sets out to examine the extent to which access to credit and credit rationing are influenced by the microfinance type based on the major factors determining micro, small and medium enterprises’ access to credit from microfinance institutions in the era of financial liberalization. The data for the study were gleaned from the microfinance companies’ credit and loan records consisting of the various pieces of information provided by the borrowers in the application process. Our results are puzzling and show that credit rationing is not influenced by the microfinance types but by the individual microfinance companies. Our results also show that the Government microfinance company is the least severe in the rationing behavior.

Title A name given to the resource Decomposition and counterfactual analysis of the effect of parents’ educational status on youth employment outcomes Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource FG Sackey, P.N Amponsa, P Yeboah Description An account of the resource This study sought to examine the extent to which youth employment outcomes in Ghana are influenced by their individual and family characteristics on the one hand and parents’ educational status on the other. A sample size of 250 youths, both employed and unemployed, was used for the study. A probit estimation with marginal effects was used to determine how these individuals and family characteristics influence employment outcomes. The results showed that individual and family characteristics influence employment outcomes. We disentangle educational background of parents and group them into high and low status. A Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition shows that the employment gap between youths with parents of high educational status and those with parents of low educational status is largely influenced by the differences in the individual and other family characteristics of the youths … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Taylor and Francis Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2019 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:dhFuZR0502QC Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The themes that emerged from the data analysis were organization conflict, cultural diversity, cultural competency, and the effects of nationalism and ethnocentrism on diversity management. The interview and survey data analysis revealed challenges and opportunities to achieve organizational objectives. These challenges include implementing policies that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in an organization. Leadership strategies for diversity management may fail, decreasing worker satisfaction, retention, organizational success, and the representation of women and minorities in senior positions. Based on the literature review and empirical research findings, effective management strategies promote an effective working environment, promoting employees' well-being and an organization's sustainability … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IGI Global Scientific Publishing Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=FrXAX-kAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=FrXAX-kAAAAJ:SP6oXDckpogC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/4c0fdb273b68f08d034adb55eb04dade.pdf 16058d4258eba5d35b44a1af23828cf5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Do trade openness and domestic credit to the private sector stimulate economic growth in Ghana? A bound test approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Kofi Asravor, Isaac Ankrah Description An account of the resource The study examined the impact of trade openness and domestic credit to the private sector (DCP) on the growth of the Ghanaian economy. The study therefore examined the extent to which trade openness and domestic credit to the private sector impact GDP growth with other covariates such as inflation, exchange rate and foreign direct investments both in the short and the long run. Data was gleaned from the World Bank database spanning from 1970 to 2021. The study adopted the bound test approach using the autoregressive distributed lag estimation. Our results showed that trade openness has a positive relationship with economic growth both in the short and the long run while no such significant relationship was observed for domestic credit to the private sector. Again, we observed a positive relationship between inflation and GDP growth at least, in the short run.

Title A name given to the resource Do Petroleum Price Asymmetries and Price Deregulation Cause Business Cycles in Ghana? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Kofi Asravor, Emmanuel Orkoh, Isaac Ankrah Description An account of the resource In the context of volatilities in the international situations in recent times, studies regarding the complexities of oil price fluctuations have focussed on analysing the special fluctuation characteristics of oil prices in different historical perspectives. This study examines the extent to which petroleum price fluctuations under the petroleum price deregulation regime impact on business cycles in Ghana. The study uses the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model with a quarterly data spanning from the first quarter of 2005 to the fourth quarter of 2022. Our empirical results show that price stability impacts positively on economic growth, both in the short and the long run, while foreign direct investment also has a positive effect on economic growth in the short run. Our findings are consistent with theory and empirical studies and contributes immensely to the discussions about price asymmetry and business cycles. Again, offers a nuanced perspective on how policy makers can enact policies that ensures efficient and effective deregulation and price stability.

Title A name given to the resource Investigating the impact of institutional quality under the petroleum price deregulation policy regime on the economic growth of Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Emmanuel Orkoh, Mohammed Musah Description An account of the resource The importance of institutional quality as a means of influencing economic growth is being given much attention. This paper examines the extent to which institutional quality under the price deregulation policy in Ghana impacts GDP growth. The study employs the Bayesian linear regression and the auto regressive distributed lag (ARDL) models in estimating a quarterly data that spans from the first quarter of 2005 to the fourth quarter of 2022. We observe that an increase in petroleum prices increases GDP growth by 0.3 units in the long run while an increase in inflation reduces GDP growth by 0.6 units in the short run. Again, we observe that in the short run an increase in foreign direct investment increases GDP growth by 3.24 units. The interactions of petroleum prices and institutional quality on the other hand reduces GDP growth in the short run by 0.91 but tend to increase GDP growth by 1.45 which is … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer International Publishing Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:maZDTaKrznsC Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The chapter reviewed secondary data and established that responsible leadership is more likely to be culturally competent and, as such, put in place diversity management practices that enhance diversity management and, to a large extent, increase employee engagement, resulting in organizational success. Responsible leaders achieve this by readily learning to be culturally competent and relate well with diverse subordinates, leading to a feeling of belongingness and engagement. The chapter, therefore, advocates for adopting responsible leaders who are culturally competent and thus embrace diversity, manage diversity, and contribute to employee engagement in the public sector … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IGI Global Scientific Publishing Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=FrXAX-kAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=FrXAX-kAAAAJ:uWQEDVKXjbEC Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

However, the subject of stakeholder legitimacy perceptions which impact the willingness and ability of stakeholders to engage with entrepreneurial ventures have not been fully explored in the entrepreneurship literature. This research fills the knowledge gap by reviewing literature on venture legitimacy, firm innovation, and stakeholders. Accordingly, the study discusses the perception of five stakeholder groups on firm legitimacy and suggests how they impact innovation in developing economies. At the end of the chapter, we highlight the critical issues of legitimacy perceptions, innovation, and stakeholders and point out potential avenues for further research.

Title A name given to the resource The power of faith: how religion shapes the decision making and choices of Ghanaian consumers–insights from a cross-sectional study Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Prince Dieu Donne Fonu, Richard Kofi Asravor, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource Religion plays a significant role in the lives of many Ghanaians, yet its influence on individual decision-making remains underexplored. This study investigates how religion shapes Ghanaians’ choices across various domains, including food consumption, fashion, career, marriage, trust in religious leaders, and contraception usage. Using survey data, the Relative Importance Index (RII), and regression analysis, the RII results show that religion accounts for more than 60% of all decisions made by Ghanaians. The regression analysis suggests that religion influences food and meat product consumption, belief in religious leaders, and the use of contraceptives and family planning methods. Individuals with higher levels of education are less likely to allow religion to influence most of their choices. These findings underscore the pervasive role of religion in shaping both personal and societal decisions in Ghana, serving … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Cogent Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=FrXAX-kAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=FrXAX-kAAAAJ:08ZZubdj9fEC Language A language of the resource English
