Title A name given to the resource Microfinance and credit rationing: does the microfinance type matter? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Luis Diaz-Serrano, Frank G Sackey Description An account of the resource This study sets out to examine the extent to which access to credit and credit rationing are influenced by the microfinance type based on the major factors determining micro, small and medium enterprises’ access to credit from microfinance institutions in the era of financial liberalization. The data for the study were gleaned from the microfinance companies’ credit and loan records consisting of the various pieces of information provided by the borrowers in the application process. Our results are puzzling and show that credit rationing is not influenced by the microfinance types but by the individual microfinance companies. Our results also show that the Government microfinance company is the least severe in the rationing behavior.

Title A name given to the resource Financial sector deepening and economic growth in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Eric Maric Nkrumah Description An account of the resource The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of Financial Sector Development on Economic Growth in Ghana using the Johansen Co-integration analysis. The paper examines empirically the causal link between financial sector development and economic growth in Ghana. The Johansen Co-integration techniques within a bi-variate vector auto-regressive framework were used for the regression. Using a quarterly time series set of data on Ghana over a ten year period (2000–2009), the result of the study shows that, there is a statistically significant positive relationship between the Financial Sector Development and Economic Growth in Ghana. This outcome is in line with the results found for most of the literature reviewed. It is recommended that Government should encourage competition in the financial sector and micro finance development as these will improve and increase outreach and access to credit at a lower cost. This will boost private sector development and investments which is the engine of growth and development. This study will help policy makers in decision making as well as serve as a source of reference for further studies. Further studies are recommended to increase the frontiers of this study. Further research on the role of financial sector developments–following Hasan et al.(2006)–is warranted in order to gain a more conclusive understanding of the finance-growth nexus in a transitional country like Ghana.

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.
