                <text>Micro-Finance Institutions (MFIs) play an important role in making services available to the financially excluded masses, especially the needy and the informal sector. MFIs do not only have a considerable influence in reducing poverty but also the ability to do that sustainably. These institutions predominantly are regarded to be critical tools for growth in battling poverty and over-reliance on central and local governments, in several developing nations including Ghana. In spite of the above, MFIs face a number of challenges in Ghana, with the news of collapse of some MFIs which has become a cause for concern to various stakeholders. This tends to create some doubts regarding the role MFIs play in the Ghanaian economy. Using Takoradi as a case, this study sought to examine the views of operators and employees of MFIs with regard to the contributions of the institutions to the economy of Ghana through descriptive survey design in a quantitative research approach. The researchers adopted the purposive and simple random sampling techniques in selecting 114 respondents for the study, with questionnaire as the research instrument. Analytical tools used for the study were frequencies, percentages and an independent sample t-test. The study revealed that in terms of their types based on client base, most microfinance institutions operating in the city targeted SME operators. Also, based on their services, MFIs in the city were grouped into individual lending, group lending, compulsory and voluntary savings, among others. Again, the study found that MFIs in Takoradi contribute variously to the local economy including provision of financial …</text>

                <text>This study investigates the factors influencing employees' intentions to enroll in a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program in Ghana, with a specific focus on the mediating role of habit. The purpose of this research is to assess the role of habit. The research design involves a random sample of 250 employees from Ghanaian organizations, who completed an online survey assessing their attitudes and perceptions towards BYOD adoption. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is utilized to test the research hypotheses and analyze the relationships between variables, including the mediating role of habit. The key findings indicate that Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, and Hedonic Motivation are significantly related to the adoption of BYOD. Moreover, habit is found to mediate the relationships between these factors and employees' Behavioral Intentions (BI) to adopt BYOD. The results highlight the importance of considering habit factors in understanding employees' intentions and behaviors regarding BYOD adoption. Based on the findings, recommendations are provided for organizations to promote the hedonic aspects and costsaving benefits of BYOD, establish clear policies addressing security concerns, and foster positive habitual behaviors among employees. These recommendations aim to enhance the adoption of BYOD programs and optimize the benefits while mitigating the challenges associated with BYOD adoption. The study has implications for both theory and practice. It contributes to the existing literature on BYOD adoption by addressing the mediating role of habit, filling a research gap in this area. The findings provide …</text>

                <text>The function of internal auditing cannot simply be overemphasised; hence the need to explore the effect of internal auditors’ functions on the financial performance of Ghanaian universal banks. A quantitative approach design was used. SPSS and Amos software were used to analyse the data. With 200 respondents, factor loadings, reliability, and validity (CR, AVE, and alpha) tests were conducted. Discriminant validity and square root of Average Variance Extracted in the diagonal was also conducted. Finally, via structural equation modelling (SEM), three hypotheses were tested using indicators of t-test, probability values, and beta values to accept or fail to accept the relationships. Preliminary data was gathered by surveying ten Ghanaian universal banks regulated by the Bank of Ghana via survey questionnaires. Overall, there was a favorable and significant correlation between management support and the auditors' competence and independence. It was concluded that the study met the required goal by shedding light on the role of (IA) functions in the financial performance of the Ghanaian banking industry. Hence, auditors' independence, competence, and management support are critical functions of internal auditing for banks to improve their financial gains.</text>

                <text>This research explored the factors which influence investment decision of workers of Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority, Takoradi using a quantitative research approach, with descriptive survey as the design. The population of study comprised both permanent and contract staff of the organization. A total of 254 employees were selected using random sample method, with 61.4% response rate and a set of questionnaire as the research instrument. Frequencies and percentages were relied upon for analyzing the obtained data. The study revealed that investment sales agents, TV/Newspapers, family members’ referrals, social media as well as the Books/Magazine were the main sources of investment information to workers of GPHA. Again, insurance policy is the commonest investment product workers relied upon. Also, safety, risk and returns, liquidity, and diversification factors were the main factors influencing investment decision of workers of GPHA. It is recommended that the Central Bank of Ghana should develop clear measures to protect the premium of investors. Again, the Management of GPHA should periodically organize sensitization and public education programs for its employees on investment decisions in order to increase the level of knowledge of staff members of organization in terms of investment.</text>

                <text>Urbanization and industrialization are twin forces with the potential to bring about significant economic and social progress. However, if not managed properly, they can lead to environmental degradation due to the escalated consumption of fossil fuels. This study examines the impacts of urbanization and industrialization on fossil fuel consumption, as well as on the consumption of renewable energy. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Canonical Cointegrating Regression (CCR) estimation procedures were used. The study found an inverted U-shape relationship between urbanization and renewable energy consumption, while an increasing monotone relationship was found for urbanization and fossil fuel consumption. The Lind and Mehlum test provided sufficient conditions for the existence of an inverted U shape between urbanization and renewable energy consumption, and the turning point was obtained for policy purposes. Another key finding from the study revealed that in Ghana, the use of fossil fuels is a key driver of industrialization, rather than renewable energy sources. Additionally, the results of the generalized forecast error variance decomposition (GFEVD) provided interesting insights. The policy implications of these findings have been thoroughly discussed.</text>

                <text>The purpose of this study was to explore the link between operational efficiency and the financial performance of non-financial firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). Specifically, the study sought to determine the association between operational efficiency and the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROA; examine the connection between operational efficiency and the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROE; and to find out the affiliation between operational efficiency and the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROCE. Panel data sourced from the audited and published annual reports of fifteen (15) listed non-financial firms for the period 2008 to 2017 was used for the study. From the study’s Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient technique of data analysis, operational efficiency had a significantly negative association with the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROA [r=-0.2981,(p= 0.0002)&lt; 0.05]. Operational efficiency also had an insignificantly adverse relationship with the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROE [r=-0.0411,(p= 0.6174)&gt; 0.05]. Finally, operational efficiency had an insignificantly inverse affiliation with the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROCE [r=-0.0055,(p= 0.9471)&gt; 0.05]. In order to have increased levels of financial performance, managers of non-financial firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) should carefully plan and forecast their activities by taken into consideration, the fluctuations in their operational efficiency. This is because, operational efficiency have been widely proven to have a statistically significant relationship with firms …</text>
