Dissecting Public Policy Making in Africa: Theoretica, Analytical, and Methodological Perspectives … Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako-Asiedu, Frank Ohemeng, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Mr Kenneth Parku Description An account of the resource The role of traditional leaders (chiefs) in national development in Africa continues to generate significant debate among academics, especially those in the political science, anthropology, and economics literature. Chiefs are seen as local developers, as well as democratic brokers, but not as policy brokers, and thus minimizing their role in the national policy making process. The chiefs' potentially constructive role in national development, is facilitating local development projects, and influencing public policies for national development. We challenge the idea that chiefs are local development and democratic brokers, but rather they serve as policy brokers, ensuring that policies that impact national development are developed by government for the betterment of citizens. We, aslo argue that chiefs continue to play an important role in the process of good governance by serving as policy brokers and this role needs to critically highlighted in the public policy literature. We attempt to answer these questions how effective have traditional rulers (Chiefs) been in their role as policy brokers in Ghana? What specific roles have chiefs played as brokers in the governance and how successful have they been? Using the desktop research approach, it was identified that these traditional leaders are considered as severing as policy brokers in their roles as effecting cultural change, resolving conflict, brokering development projects settling disputes on land, acting as intermediaries and expressing their legitimacy as well as democratic and policy brokers in their significant role in the national policy making process. The paper contributes to the discussion of the role … 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:OU6Ihb5iCvQC Language A language of the resource English http://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/9df47112b07f86e181eea6e69bfc8afb.pdf 9b61f24ff43084e7d42a8c8ced5c05b3 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 Responsible Leadership and Satisfaction Among Working Mothers in Ghana: The Mediating Role of Work-Life Balance Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard Brenyah, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Moro Alhassan, Edward Tetteh Description An account of the resource The study investigates the relationship between responsible leadership and satisfaction, and how work-life balance mediates the relationship. From the literature, it was established that responsible leaders are likely to balance the work and life roles of their employees and this gives employees an opportunity to develop their potentials toward organizational success. Based on this, six hypotheses were formulated, and a conceptual model constructed. Data was collected from a sample of 402 working mothers in selected public sector organizations in Ghana. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to analyze the data. Results indicate that responsible leadership influences job satisfaction both directly and indirectly. However, with respect to family satisfaction, responsible leadership affects it only through the mediation of work-life balance. The study underscores the importance of work-life balance in promoting both job and family satisfaction. Literature agrees that individuals who derive satisfaction both in their family and job domains are more likely to develop their potentials to achieve their own developmental needs. The paper therefore establishes the importance for leaders to incorporate appropriate work-life balance policies into their responsible leadership framework, develop and implement appropriate programs to equip the leaders to be effective.

Title A name given to the resource Examining Mobile Shopping Characteristics, Shopping Value and Continuous Use Intention Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource The present study examines the relationships among convenience factors, trust, self-efficacy, shopping value, customer satisfaction (CS), and continuous use intention (CUI) in the context of consumer behaviour within mobile shopping environments. Using a sample size of 457 respondents, structural equation modelling was employed to test the proposed hypotheses. Results revealed significant positive relationships between AC, PC, and SC with shopping value (SPV). In contrast, EV and PPC showed insignificant relationships with SPV. Trust (TST) exhibited a significant positive association with SPV, while ease of use (EOU) demonstrated an insignificant relationship. Self-efficacy (SE) also displayed a significant positive impact on SPV. Moreover, SPV positively influenced both CS and CUI. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the factors driving consumer behaviour in mobile shopping contexts, emphasizing the critical roles of convenience, trust, and self-efficacy in shaping shopping value, customer satisfaction, and continuous use intention.

The study employed a survey data from 130 employees of a major local government institution in Accra, Ghana, and the data were analysed using multiple regression and Hayes’ PROCESS macro moderation technique. The findings revealed that while workplace conflict has a significant negative effect on employee job-related well-being, employee development and supervisor support have significant positive effects but their interactions with workplace conflict show insignificant effects on employee job-related well-being.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing Factors Affecting the Blockchain Adoption in Public Procurement Delivery in Ghana: A Correlational Study Using UTAUT2 Theoretical Framework Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource David King Boison, Ebenezer Malcalm, Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, Musah Osumanu Doumbia, Kamal Kant Hiran Description An account of the resource The study assessed the factors that influence the adoption of blockchain (BC) in Ghana's public procurement delivery. The study adopted correctional design and utilized the extended unified theory of the acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) as the conceptual basis to determine whether performance expectancy (PE), behavioral intent (BI), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FC), hedonic motivation (HM), price value (PV), and habit (HT) were predictors of the intention of state owned enterprises to adopt blockchain programs in the implementation of the public procurement act. Only four constructs, namely PE, EE, FC, and HT, were found to influence the behavioral intention (BI) of service providers to participate in a BC. This study provides a deeper understanding of the adoption of BC in the delivery of public contracts.

Title A name given to the resource The legal regime and the compliance façade in public procurement in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ibraham Mohammed, Justice Nyigmah Bawole, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Abdul-Bassit Abubakar, Anthony Sumnaya Kumasey Description An account of the resource Purpose The extant literature posits several claims about the equitable resources allocation through compliance in public procurement management. Notwithstanding, there are hardly any empirical studies that explore the link between the causes and extent of compliance on one hand and value for money (VfM) on the other hand. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the efficacy of public procurement laws in ensuring VfM in a developing country context. Design/methodology/approach The study employs a qualitative case study approach involving three local government agencies in Ghana. Purposive and stratified random sampling strategies were used in selecting respondents who were interviewed through focused group discussions, semi-structured and open-ended questionnaires.

Title A name given to the resource Managing Stress and Enhancing Employee Wellness and Performance in Times of Crisis: The Authentic Leader as the “Magic Bullet” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Evans Sokro, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource Employee stress has been explored extensively. However, there remain a dearth of scholarship on how leadership, specifically authentic leadership, helps to reduce employee stress levels in crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, in emerging economies, and to ensure employee wellness and performance using the social exchange theory. Using exploratory qualitative design and thematic analysis, data from 32 interviews with public sector employees in Ghana were analysed. Findings demonstrate that authentic leaders exhibit such characteristics as honesty, accountability, self-regulation, relational transparency, objective analysis of information, and valuing followers' contributions to arrive at decisions. These characteristics relate positively to employee job performance, wellness, and stress management.
