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. How can public sector leaders build … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Emerald Publishing Limited 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:4TOpqqG69KYC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/fe1f67d08977bb000b7906d90771bcd1.pdf d0ab463ca89bbfda7c4429a87e3f948f 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 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.

Title A name given to the resource Borrower–lender relationship and access to commercial banks’ credit market Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey Description An account of the resource The study examined the extent to which borrower–lender relationships affect the rationing behavior of commercial banks in Ghana. A cross-sectional panel data comprising 14 commercial banks were used for the study. Using the classical linear regression model our results showed that borrowers who have long-term relationships with the banks received more credit at reduced interest rates. It was also observed that years of experience in business, gender, age, sector of business, value of assets, profits and loan maturity period were the significant factors influencing the rationing behavior of the commercial banks. The overall results are quiet revealing, and points to the fact that the long-term borrower–lender relationships lead to some level of trust and confidence between the borrower and the lender that comes with its accrued benefits.

Title A name given to the resource Gender discrimination in commercial banks’ credit markets in ghana: a decomposition and counterfactual analysis Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Peter Nkrumah Amponsah Description An account of the resource Access to formal credit in Ghana has been a major challenge to empowering women and promoting women enterprises even in this era of financial sector liberalization. Gender bias in both the formal and informal financial sectors have created huge credit gaps between men and women entrepreneurs. This study examines factors that influence credit rationing and discrimination against women in the credit markets of commercial banks in Ghana. Data for the study, comprising borrowers’ information as provided in loan application forms, were gathered from the commercial banks’ credit application database. Using the 2-stage least squares instrumental variable regression, we found that individual, firm, and loan characteristics were significant in determining credit rationing.

Title A name given to the resource Is energy transition possible for oil-producing nations? Probing the case of a developing economy Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Kingsley Dogah, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Derrick Ofori Donkor, Christopher Lamptey, Lilian Arthur Description An account of the resource An expected decline in oil revenue and a complicated global energy market present significant concerns about oil-producing countries’ intentions to move away from fossil fuels. Understanding the dynamics of these concerns, particularly in light of potential energy transitions, is crucial for future energy supply and sustainable energy discussion. Given the scarcity of research on the issue, this study examined whether an implied shift from fossil fuels to a cleaner energy state is possible for Ghana, a small oil-producing economy in sub-Saharan Africa. A two-state Markov Switching Model (MSM) was applied to a dataset covering 1980–2019. Results based on a multivariate state-dependent regression technique were documented as follows: First, the probability of transitioning from a nonrenewable energy state to a renewable energy state is 76.5%.

Title A name given to the resource Wage price floors and sectoral employment outcomes in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard Kofi Asravor, Frank Gyimah Sackey Description An account of the resource This paper investigates the effect of daily minimum wage regulation and other covariates variables on sectoral employment generation in Ghana. The Cobb–Douglas and constant elasticity of substitution production functions were employed as the theoretical foundation for this study. Secondary Data sourced from World Development Indicators (2018) from 1991 to 2018 was used while the autoregressive distributed lag was used as the estimation. The finding confirms the insider outsider and the Phillips curve argument and also shows that sectoral employment in Ghana is supported by economic growth and foreign direct investment. Daily minimum wage negatively affects the sectoral employment, with the agricultural employment being the worst affected. Interest rate decreases total employment, whereas population growth decreases employment in the agricultural sector.

Title A name given to the resource Microeconomic determinants of privates of private inward remittances to households in Ghana: a case study Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey Description An account of the resource This paper examined the microeconomic determinants of inward remittances of migrants to their respective households at home. It looked at the likelihood that a migrant will remit home with regards to the household size, the monthly income of the household, the sex of the migrant, whether the migrant has an immediate family at home, obligation, among other things. Questionnaires were administered to recipients of such remittances. A total of 61 responses were used to determine the likelihood. Logit estimation was then run and the results showed that insurance and exchange were theories explaining the motive to remit. It also found the household size and the number of years of stay of the migrant in the host country to be significant in explaining the likelihood to remit. The conclusion drawn from this paper is that it is important to look at determinants to remit by looking at the actual situation of the country understudy with regards to its social, cultural and traditional settings as well as their economic situations since these factors determine the propensity to travel abroad and hence determining the motive to remit. Nonetheless these findings would serve as a basis and a guide for studying and improving in the alleviation of poverty as well as the development impact of remittances on the countries concerned. It will also serve as literature and a guide for future study.

Title A name given to the resource Effects of share pricing on firms’ performance in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Akotey Joseph Oscar Description An account of the resource This study is designed to examine the effects of share pricing on firm’s performance. Net profit earnings of the firm was used as the dependent variable for the study whilst the independent variables constituted some characteristic indicators that can affect the firm’s performance such as earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets, return on investments and overheads. Five listed companies namely; the Ghana Commercial Bank, Enterprise Insurance, Mechanical Lloyd, Aluworks Ghana Limited and Standard Chartered Bank were used for the study. A random model was used to test for the effects of the various variables on firm’s performance using a panel data. The results show that earning per share was significant and positive in explaining firm’s performance whilst return on investment and overheads were significant but negative in explaining firm’s performance. Return on assets and return on equity were however, insignificant in explaining firm’s performance. it is therefore recommended that firms trade on the stock exchange to attract more shareholders through their share pricing as this will enable them to increase their capital gain as well as the public patronizing not only in their shares but also being part of them and hence patronizing their products since they will have a stake in it.
