Title A name given to the resource Employee engagement and task performance in state‐owned enterprises in developing countries: The case study of the power sector in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank LK Ohemeng, Theresa Obuobisa Darko, Emelia Amoako‐Asiedu Description An account of the resource A growing number of studies prove a relationship between employee engagement (EE) and performance. Unfortunately, almost all originate in the developed world; the few that look at developing countries, including their public sectors, have focused more on the civil service and agencies, and neglect state‐owned enterprises (SOEs), despite their importance for delivery of public services. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of EE on task performance in SOEs in developing countries, with particular reference to Ghana. We purposively selected SOEs in the power sector and quantitatively surveyed their employees. We employed regression analysis to examine the link between EE and employee task performance. Our study, like those before it, shows that EE has a positive and significant effect on employee task performance. Our findings further suggest that for SOEs to achieve their targets with … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 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:W7OEmFMy1HYC 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 Ensuring employee task performance: Role of employee engagement Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theresa Obuobisa‐Darko Description An account of the resource Engaged employees play significant roles toward organizational success. They exhibit different characteristics—dedicated, absorbed, and work with vigor. This paper explains the complex relationship between employee engagement (EE) and task performance in Ghana, a developing country with its unique collectivist and high‐power distance culture. Electricity Company of Ghana was purposively selected and its employees were quantitatively surveyed. Structural equation modelling, partial least squares, was used to examine the relationship. Results show that EE has a positive and significant effect on employee task performance (ETP). Results increase the level and confirmed generalizability of the findings that when employees are engaged, they perform better. Vigor, a dimension of EE, has significant impact on ETP than dedication and absorption.

Title A name given to the resource Leadership, employee engagement and employee performance in the public sector of Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako-Asiedu, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource Organisations are developing interest in the effective management of their employees’ performance in today’s competitive environment. Effective leadership has become increasingly necessary for organisations who are interested in improving employee performance. Extant literature confirms the role leaders play in the management of employee performance as well as ensuring high levels of employee engagement. This paper seeks to identify the relationship between leadership style, employee engagement and performance in public sector organisations. Adopting a mixed method approach, the study employed convenience sampling and data was obtained from questionnaire and interviews. Using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and content analysis the results showed that motivation and quality play an important mediating effect on the effect of leadership on employee performance. It was also found that fairness, flexibility, involvement in decision making and creating an environment where an employee feels valued and respected made employees engaged. Results also showed that engaged employees perform to their maximum best.

Title A name given to the resource Leaders’ behaviour as a determinant of employee performance in Ghana: The mediating role of employee engagement Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource The study aimed at identifying if engaged employees mediate the relationship between leader behaviour and employee task performance within the public sector in a developing country with unique cultural characteristics. Data gathered from 411 permanent employees was analysed using partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique. Results showed that employee engagement mediates partially the relationship between transformational leader behaviour and employee task performance unlike the relationship between transactional leader behaviour and employee task performance. Transformational leader behaviour was identified as the key leader behaviour that causes employees to be engaged. Practical and managerial implications are discussed.

Title A name given to the resource Bureaucratic leadership, trust building, and employee engagement in the public sector in Ghana: The perspective of social exchange theory Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank LK Ohemeng, Theresa Obuobisa Darko, Emelia Amoako-Asiedu Description An account of the resource Purpose An engaged workforce has never been more important than it is now. Research continues to reveal a strong link between engaged employees and employee performance. Consequently, different strategies continue to be developed to enhance employee engagement (EE) in organisations. Unfortunately, many of these strategies have not worked due to the lack of trust that some employees may have towards organisational leaders. Thus, it is argued that the first step in building an effective EE is building trust, which will erode all sorts of suspicion of the intention of leaders in the organisation. Unfortunately, the literature is not clear about how to build such trust, especially in developing countries where the organisational environment is much different from that in developed ones; making the applicability of models in the developed world quite difficulty in these countries.

Title A name given to the resource Organisational culture and employee engagement within the Ghanaian public sector Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard S Brenyah, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource The paper examines the relationship between corporate culture and employee engagement among employees in public sector organisations of Ghana. A review of the relevant literature indicates that corporate culture as a measure of employee engagement especially in the public sector of a developing country in Africa such as Ghana has been given limited research efforts. To address this, the study adopted Handy’s cultural framework as limited efforts have been geared toward investigating the effect each of Handy’s four pillars of culture has on employee engagement. The multiple regression technique was used to test the hypothesised relationships between the variables in the study. A sample of two hundred and sixty-seven (267) employees was randomly drawn from selected public-sector organisations in Ghana. Findings from the study established that, achievement and support cultures significantly cause employees to be engaged in the public sector of Ghana whilst power culture has a significant, but negative relationship with employee engagement. The relationship between role culture and employee engagement is not significant. The study recommends that, in order for the skilled employees in the Ghanaian public sector organisations to be highly engaged, management of such organisations should increase the extent of achievement and support cultures and minimize the extent of power culture while paying only a little attention to role culture.
