Title A name given to the resource Examining the Decision-Making Approaches and Challenges Affecting Ghana’s Railway Sector Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Adjei Anyetei Description An account of the resource The rail system in Ghana has received increased attention since patronage from both passengers and freight traffic plummeted as a result of lack of infrastructural development in rail tracks, station buildings, bridges, culverts, locomotives, passenger coaches, and mineral wagons. The purpose of the study is to assess the decision-making framework in Ghana’s rail sector and how it can further be strengthened to address the challenges in the rail system and thereby promote national development. The study employed mixed methods of descriptive quantitative method and a qualitative method to address the specific objectives of the study. The specific objectives of the study were to assess the existing decision-making framework and its effectiveness on capital investment for the railway sector in Ghana; to examine the implications of decision-making policies on the performance of Ghana’s railway sector; to identify the challenges affecting decision-making framework of Ghana’s railway sector; and to examine the role of information in the decision-making framework of Ghana’s railway sector. The study showed that the decision-making framework of the Ghana Railway Company Limited has adverse implication including inefficiencies and poor service delivery on the performance of the railway sector. It also came to light that the existing decision-making framework of GRCL does not promote capital investment due to the low level of commitment towards the expansion of infrastructure and an uneven allocation of funds in the railway sector. Moreover, the major challenge of the railway sector was noted as pecuniary while embezzlement and a virtually non-existent maintenance culture posed an everyday threat to Ghana’s railway sector. Lastly, the study established the vital role information play in the decision-making approaches of the railway sector in the developing world. It is recommended that adequate capital investment must be injected into the railway sector through the arrangement of public-private partnerships.

Title A name given to the resource Examining the determinants of water resources availability in sub-Sahara Africa: a panel-based econometrics analysis Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dongying Sun, Ethel Ansaah Addae, Hatem Jemmali, Isaac Adjei Mensah, Mohammed Musah, Claudia Nyarko Mensah, Florence Appiah-Twum Description An account of the resource With the rapid development of economies, the problem of water resources availability particularly in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) has increased significantly. Specifically, in recent times, addressing the challenge of access to water resources has become a global issue of which countries in SSA are not exceptional since the adequate supply of potable water is as relevant as economic development. Consequently, this current paper seeks to estimate the determinants of water resources availability in sub-Sahara Africa. For this purpose, a panel-based regression model, which represents the availability of water resources, is specified based on the period 2000 to 2016 to examine a panel of 41 SSA countries sub-sectioned into low, lower-middle, and upper-middle-income nations. Considering the existence of residual cross-sectional reliance, outcomes based on the CIP and CADF unit root tests showed that the … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Berlin Heidelberg Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=-U-tBVYAAAAJ&amp;citation_for_view=-U-tBVYAAAAJ:mB3voiENLucC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/22df3b11f9b0d8360244a6dedd530f34.pdf 21d191667e7278d285848b49b972936d 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 Examining the Implementation of the Community-Based Health Planning and Services Programme In the Ga East and West Municipalities. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Matthew Kwame Edusei Description An account of the resource The community-based health planning and services (CHPS) programme was rolled out as a nationwide strategy to deal with the health challenges faced by Ghanaians, especially those in the rural communities, in the year 2000. However, more than a decade after its introduction, the CHPS programme is facing challenges with its implementation, particularly in the Greater Accra region. The objective of the study was to review the CHPS programme in the Ga East and West Municipal Assemblies and explore successes and constraints to its implementation in these districts. This was achieved by using an exploratory study design, which employed the dual approach of the quantitative and the qualitative methodology and involved the testing of four hypotheses which have been gleaned from the literature. The study found that in those places with on-going CHPS programmes, there is statistically significant evidence that: the implementation process is not flawed (p<0.001), mobilization of resources for the programme is adequate (p<0.001), the monitoring and evaluation of the programme is effective (p<0.001) and the health status of the communities with functional CHPS has improved (p<0.001). However, the study revealed that the major underlying factor limiting the successful implementation of the programme is the numerous chieftaincy disputes in the communities, which impede the community entry process of the CHPS programme. Also, the community health volunteers and the community health management committee members are not committed to the programme due to lack of financial support for their activities. The CHPS programme is making an impact in the communities; nevertheless, for a more effective realization of its objectives, it is recommended that the long community entry process be shortened and the volunteers be motivated with a token allowance to facilitate their activities to further improve healthcare delivery in the communities.

Title A name given to the resource Examining the intervening role of age and gender on mobile payment acceptance in Ghana: UTAUT model Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Acheampong, Li Zhiwen, Kamal Kant Hiran, Obobisa Emma Serwaa, Frank Boateng, Isaac Asare Bediako Description An account of the resource The internet is by far one of the novel technologies that has shaped and supported all human endeavors. The phenomenal growth of the internet has been the backbone to the development of other cutting-edge technologies of which mobile payment is not an exception. The emergence of wireless technology and smartphones has brought to consumers an extraordinary way of carrying out day-to-day activities. These mobile and smartphones technology have become the driving force of many businesses today. Mobile payment provides ubiquity and offers a very convenient way for consumers to conduct transactions anytime and anywhere over wireless telecommunications networks. The sole intention of this study was to examine the moderating effects of age and gender on electronic payment based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) theoretical model. Using a sample of 1098 respondents, we collected and analysed the data by employing regression. The results confirm that “performance expectancy”, effort expectancy for male respondents were higher than the mean for female respondents while the mean score of the variable for social influence for female is higher than the male respondents. On the other hand, the findings statistically concluded that the moderating effect of age was significant.

Title A name given to the resource Examining the Management of Risk Issues in Procurement; A Case Study of Ghana Technology University College (GTUC) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cornelius Kwarkoh Amoah Description An account of the resource The purpose of the study is to examine the “Management of risk issues in procurement: a case study of Ghana Technology University College.” Objectives that steered this research were (a) to determine the relationship between procurement risks/challenges, organizational performance and the need for management of procurement risks; (b) to find the specific procurement risks in GTUC and how they affect organizational performance; and (c) to find specific procurement related risks that need particular attention for management and how these risks could be managed. By means of an exploratory cross-sectional research design 30 staff of the GTUC including 4 procurement officials was selected for the study. The sample size forms more than 50% of the population of staff in the GTUC who deal directly with the procurement unit. Staff of the GTUC quantitatively filled the Procurement risk questionnaire, organizational performance questionnaire and the management of procurement risk questionnaire. Procurement officials were interviewed based on the objectives of the study. Findings revealed that, procurement risks/challenges do not significantly affect the organizational performance of the University; however, qualitative probe reveals that, the procurement risks/challenges translate into poor service quality in the GTUC including slow work activities and ineffective teaching and learning. Moreover, interferences/disruptions and resources challenges are the greatest of risk issues in procurement and would reduce the procurement risks in the GTUC by 39% if managed. It was also found that, risk issues in procurement in the GTU is high and requires a relatively higher management approaches to mitigate it such as elimination or simplification of some bureaucratic procedures as well as proactive work dynamics such as early submission of proposals and budgets. Furthermore, more would have to be done to enhance the capabilities of staff through the selection of qualified personnel and staff development through training programmes and self- development. The finding was explained in relation to the rational choice theory and supports a number of studies reviewed. It also highlights a number of discoveries into procurement risks that have not been reported by previous studies. It is recommended therefore that the procurement processes in the GTUC be reviewed periodically so that bureaucratic processes that impede successful outcomes are either eliminated or simplified.

Title A name given to the resource Examining the marketing-corporate social responsibility nexus Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine how corporate social responsibility is incorporated into marketing strategy for a leading telecommunications firm (MTN) in Ghana. The paper examines the corporate social responsibility practices of this firm by focussing on various dimensions of stakeholder interests, norms and values. Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual framework was adopted from the extant literature and used as the basis for the single case study analysis. The authors interviewed senior management of the company and also analysed corporate social responsibility (CSR) information posted on the company’s website. Findings – MTN has a strong commitment to social responsibility programmes. A separate independent unit, dubbed, “MTN Foundation”, has been established with its own Board of Directors and management team to manage CSR-related programmes. However, there seems to be lack of coordination of activities of other departments such as marketing and human resources which are of equal interest to major stakeholders. Again, in an effort to identify stakeholders’ interests, there appears to be a lack of a proactive approach in examining the actual needs of prospective beneficiaries of CSR programmes of the company. Originality/value – The paper serves as a guide to managers in the planning and implementation of social responsibility programmes within the context of developing countries and also adds to the relatively parsimonious literature on CSR practices of firms operating in Africa.
