Title A name given to the resource Revisiting Occupational Health and Safety Management and Employee Engagement in the Ghanaian Mining Sector Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Philip Batsa Adotey, David Doe Fiergbor, Edem Segbefia, Kwame Owusu-Ansah Owusu Afram Description An account of the resource Occupational Health and Safety Practices (OHSP) literatures same as employees’ engagement has been studied as disciplines for organizational performance and safety free environments. Creating awareness about OSHP is determining factor for maintaining consistent safety behavior which eventually lead to effective employee engagement. Creating more awareness of OSHP has become so necessary in academia and industry due to the inevitable danger associated with it. Poor Occupational Safety and health practices is a cost and life threatening issue yet most companies give reactive response to it. This paper seeks to address these anomalies by testing empirically, the influence of occupational health and safety practices on employee engagement. The study sampled 400 whose response were sought and sorted by the use of questionnaire and interview process. The WarpPLS was used to perform a structural equation modeling which revealed a positive effect of occupational health and safety on physical, emotional, and cognitive engagement. However, among the dimensions of engagement, emotional engagement was the criterion variable influenced most. The paper suggests that major stakeholders such as shareholders, CEOs and all employees to consider OSHP as a means to retain and maintain employees to achieve constant performance.

For instance, the factors that influence the success or failure of early-stage ventures include misunderstandings between founders and key stakeholders. However, stakeholders are considered the determiners of the success of new ventures. Entrepreneurs and their teams must, therefore, employ appropriate and effective means to optimize stakeholder management. The challenge lies in effectively incorporating an efficient stakeholder management approach. This chapter discusses a framework supporting stakeholder management in early-stage ventures in the African context.

Title A name given to the resource The role of work life balance on employee commitment and turnover intentions: A study of tertiary institution workers Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Millicent Amponsah, KOAO Afram Description An account of the resource This paper investigates whether the practice of Work Life Balance (WLB) within an organization can serve as a means of committing employees and discourage their intentions of quitting. The study further explores the factors of work life balance practices that should be implemented through policy to enhance employee commitment and reduce turnover intentions. The study sampled one hundred and thirty five (135) employees from a tertiary institution in Ghana. Quantitative data was collected through the administering of questionnaires and data was analyzed using SPSS. Findings indicate that although WLB has a strong and negative relationship with employee turnover intentions, it does not contribute to employee commitment. It was also observed that among the WLB practices, schedule flexibility has a stronger impact on employee turnover intentions. The study focused on employees in the tertiary education sector and thus the research findings cannot be generalized across the educational sector nor other economic sectors in Ghana. Management should focus on practicing work life balance in their organizations so as to ensure better commitment in organizational activities and also to prevent employees from quitting. Further, managers should try to continue improving the conditions of work for their employees since it significantly discourages employee from quitting. The study makes a significant contribution to the concept of WLB and its direct impact on employee outcomes.

Title A name given to the resource Transportation Management Challenges in Ghana: A Study of Three Selected Companies in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Daniel Odoom, Christian Kyeremeh, Kwame Owusu Afram Owusu-Ansah, Stephen Tawiah Description An account of the resource Effective transport systems are critical in the socio-economic development of nations. Globally, there is a wide recognition of the need to put in place adequate measures to achieve sustainable transport systems for the greater good of society. To do this, requires an awareness of the myriad of challenges faced by stakeholders in the transport sector. Against this background, the researchers sought to explore the transportation challenges companies in Ghana face using Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis (STM) as a case. The study adopted the mixed methods approach with descriptive survey as the design. A total of 85 employees of three companies in the Metropolis was involved in the study through census data collection method. The research instruments used were questionnaire and interview guide whilst percentages, means, standard deviation and thematic analytical tools were employed for the study. The study discovered that the greatest transport management challenge in the Metropolis is the general lack of transport management experts. Other challenges include high cost of transport operations, poor vehicle maintenance, ineffective transport policies in organizations and weak transport infrastructure in the Metropolis. It is recommended that companies in STM should put in place proper training and development programs to address the skill gaps in inherent in their transport management systems.

Title A name given to the resource Employee retention in institutions of higher learning: A study of some selected university colleges in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Augustine Osei Boakye, Bernard Arpoh-Baah, Daniel Odoom, KOAO Afram, Prince Addai, David Agyemang Description An account of the resource The study investigated the issue of employee retention across private tertiary institutions in Ghana with a focus on Senior Members of some selected university colleges in the Ashanti Region. The mixed-method approach was used in a descriptive survey design. In all, 111 respondents were selected from four university colleges using purposive and convenience sampling methods. Interview guide and questionnaire were relied upon in collecting data for the study, with frequencies, percentages, Kruskal-Wallis test and thematic analyses as analytical tools. The study observed that the expectations of Senior Members before accepting employment in the selected institutions include getting a high salary, better working conditions, more training opportunities, career development opportunities, a favourable working environment as well as obtaining some form of recognition and appreciation in the institutions. Again, several factors such as better remuneration, care and concern from employers, more training and development opportunities, better promotion system, conducive working environment, and increased employee engagement influenced retention of Senior Members in the institutions. However, no significant differences were observed in the views of Senior Members (academic and non-academic) of the selected institutions on the factors influencing employee retention. The study recommends that HR Units of the selected universities should effectively collaborate with the HRM experts of the universities to design fair and proper training and development programs to motivate employees to stay in the organizations.
