Title A name given to the resource Determinants of credit rationing to the private sector in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anthony K Ahiawodzi, Frank Gyimah Sackey Description An account of the resource This study is designed to investigate the rationing behavior of Commercial banks in Ghana, by looking at the effect of chosen variables on the amount of loan realized even in the era of interest rate liberalization. A single equation model involving a categorical random dependent variable, being the amount of loan realized and security value, interest rate, the value of assets, the value of collateral security, net profits, experience in business, sex, age and purpose as the exogenous variables. The exogenous variables are jointly significant in explaining the dependent variable. The results suggest that even though interest rates may be liberalized as a way of ensuring credit allocation, the Commercial Banks would still ration out credit. It is therefore suggested, that there is the need for the government to play an active role in the financial sector and the banks to intensify their monitoring systems of … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Adonis & Abbey Publishers Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2010 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&citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:_FxGoFyzp5QC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/9da4ffd6e231f6a1c5df39f57c1f20fc.pdf 557673bb847a705db2a75c1d3e66e207 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 Conflict among teachers in junior high schools in a developing country Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource The study examined the causes and effects of conflict on teachers' performance in the Tema metropolis of Ghana. Research design used was descriptive survey, with the main data collection instrument being questionnaire. Data was collected from a sample of three hundred and five (305) respondents who were randomly and purposively selected. The data was analysed using SPSS. The results indicate that conflicts were caused by personal and structural factors. The dominant personal factor was differences in perception whilst the dominant structural factor was sharing of common and limited resources. Furthermore, findings indicate that negative effects of conflict were higher than positive effects. The dominant conflict management strategy adopted was integrating whilst compromising was the least adopted. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the Ghana Education Service (GES) should organise workshops, seminars and other educational programmes on conflict for teachers.

Title A name given to the resource Leadership and employee satisfaction in the Ghanaian banking sector Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ernest Obuobisa-Darko, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource The study was carried out with the purpose of investigating the relationship between leadership and employee satisfaction in the banking industry in Ghana. A questionnaire consisting of three (3) sections was used for the study. Section one of the questionnaire solicited information on demographic characteristics of respondents, section two dealt with the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) while the third section dealt with the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). A total of 200 questionnaires were circulated to randomly selected respondents from both private and public banks in the Accra Metropolis of Ghana, out of which 150 were returned showing a return rate of 75% and out of that 140 were usable. The findings of the study were that there was positive relationship between leadership styles and job satisfaction. The results further indicated that inspirational motivation which is a type of transformational leadership, management by exception and laissezfair which are types of transactional leadership positively and significantly affected job satisfaction. Thus, leadership styles of managers impact on satisfaction of banking employees so managers should exhibit good leadership.

Title A name given to the resource Human Resource development climate and employee engagement in developing countries Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Victoria Tsedzah Description An account of the resource The purpose of the paper is to identify the specific dimensions of Human Resource Development Climate (HRDC) that significantly affect Employee Engagement (EE). It places the importance of HRDC in enhancing EE within the public sector in a developing country and finds answer to the question on the dimension of HRDC that causes employees to be engaged. The paper uses a self-designed questionnaire, made up of Rao and Abraham (1990) HRD Climate survey and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale by Schaufeli et al., (2002) to gather data from 355 respondents and analysed using multiple regression. Based on the data analysed, results showed that HRDC has a positive and significant effect on employee engagement. Additionally, it was found that employees are highly engaged in situations where their organisation exhibits the HR Mechanism dimension of HRDC. The limitation is, it did not focus on the entire public sector but focused on civil servant. It is therefore recommended that further studies could be carried out with focus on other public sector organisations to confirm or refute the findings. This study adds to the limited literature on HRDC and EE in public sector organisations in a developing country. This finding brings to bear the major dimension of HRDC that managers should focus on to improve employee engagement in a developing country where there exist a high power distance culture.

Title A name given to the resource Leadership style and employee behaviour: A reciprocal relationship Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kwame Ameyaw Domfeh, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Lawrence Offei Asare Description An account of the resource An effective leader is one who has a purpose and is able to influence his followers to enable them achieve that goal successfully. This paper adopted the literature review research method to look at the cause and effect relationship between the leader and followers. Information was collected from multiple databases as well as textbooks. Areas considered included the definition of leadership and the cause and effect relationship between leaders and followers, by identifying the influence leaders have on employee behaviour, specifically performance and voluntary turnover. It was identified that Leadership, explained as a systematic process where individual (s) influence (s) others towards the achievement of desired goals in interpersonal relationship, has influence on employees, specifically their performance and voluntary turnover. For further studies, it is suggested that data is gathered and analysed to confirm or refute the finding of this relationship between leaders and their followers in both private and public sector organisations.

Title A name given to the resource Psychological impact of COVID-19 pandemic and turnover intention: The moderating effect of employee work engagement Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Evans Sokro Description An account of the resource The study aimed to understand the relationship between the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and turnover intention and the moderating role of employee engagement. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire through both hand deliveries of printed questionnaires and Google docs from 187 frontline employees in the Ghanaian public sector. The hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. There exists a positive and significant relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and employee turnover intentions. Out of the three dimensions of work engagement, vigor had a significant negative moderating effect on the relationship between psychological impact and turnover intentions. This implies that the positive effect of the psychological impact of COVID-19 on turnover intentions is minimized, where employees have high levels of energy and mental resilience while working … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 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&citation_for_view=FrXAX-kAAAAJ:abG-DnoFyZgCE 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.

Title A name given to the resource The impact of employee perception on the successful institutionalisation and implementation of performance management systems in developing countries: The perspective from … Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank LK Ohemeng, Emelia Amoako‐Asiedu, Theresa Obuobisa‐Darko Description An account of the resource Performance management (PM) has become a key instrument in the quest to ensure optimal operations by organisations in the public sector. Some scholars, though, believe that PM has failed because of employees' negative perception and management's exclusion of employees from its development. Studies on the relationship between employee perception of PM and its effectiveness in the public sector are limited. We argue that management must value employee perception more highly than they do at present because it is unlikely employees would be willing to take an active part in implementing a change with which they disagree or that they see as having no value. This study examines the effect of employees' perception on the institutionalisation and implementation of PM in developing countries, with specific reference to Ghana.
