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 The Effectiveness of Health and Safety on Employees Performance: A Case Study of Ghana Oil Company Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Pogo Kelvin Description An account of the resource On 3rd June 2015, the Ghana Oil Limited (GOIL) fuel filling station at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, near the Ghana Commercial Bank Towers in Accra was destroyed by fire during heavy flooding in the capital. The fire gutted the entire station including all the employees who worked at the station. Though one could have attributed the sad incident to the rains, there are frequently asked questions about the health and safety of the employees, whether the company adhere to occupational health and safety principles for their employees, as well as whether there are welfare supports services for the employees amongst others. With respects to accidents, the oil industry appears to disregard that fact that they happened. These studies examined examine the effectiveness of health and safety on employees within the oil and gas industry, considering the case of GOIL. Survey design was used in this study and adopted the quantitative research approach. Forty (40) questionnaires were distributed to respondents selected for the study through convenience sampling technique. The researcher used structured questionnaires to collect data. Microsoft Excel was used in analyzing the data collected. It was found out that using protective clothing, prompt reporting of accidents/injuries and re-training on safety and health practices were the level of awareness of health and safety programmes in the organization. In addition to this, employees were required to put on protective clothing in the performance of their duties. It was recommended that management effort in providing safe work environment through maintenance of effective health and safety system, goes a long way in satisfying worker’s safety needs, and capable of motivating them. Effective workplace health and safety practices can help to save the lives of workers by reducing hazards and their consequences. Subject The topic of the resource MBA.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Environmental Impacts due to oil spillage resulting from Oil and Gas products Transportation: A case study of Chase Petroleum g Ghana Limited Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Diakite Mody Seydou Description An account of the resource Oil spillage is a global worry which is associated with any oil and gas activities mainly during oil and gas products transportations. It is undoubtedly the most responsible for marine and terrestrial organisms acute killing causing biodiversity loss and desertification, human health threatening by several ways which can lead to mortality, loss of job increasing poverty and starvation and displacement; in short it is human’s nightmare. These can no longer continue otherwise the earth will be rendered unlivable for all living things and announced the end for human. In this research, the researcher used both quantitative and qualitative approaches to collect data. Its primary data were gathered from Chase Petroleum Ghana Limited which is one of the largest Ghanaian bulk distribution oil companies while its secondary data were collected from peer reviews, journal and internet. The findings showed that on all environmental issues exposed a mean of 29 respondents representing (71.7%) had admitted oil spillage to have extreme concern in all cases, a mean of six 6 accounting (14.4%) expressed that oil spillage played moderate concern in all cases, and a mean of five 5 weighting (13.9%) attributed that oil spillage produced low concern in all cases. For mitigating such impacts and avoiding similar fail in Ghana mining sector, the research findings demonstrated that the implementation and enforcement of health, safety and environment (HSE) practices have been effective in Chase Petroleum Ghana Limited, but these practices alone are not able to ensure safety during oil and gas products transportation. Therefore, finding showed that they had to be complemented by the following strategies for an effective regulation in order laws enforcement, binding national environmental laws concerning oil and gas transportation to international environmental laws, establishment of national legislations addressing only oil and gas industry, and implementation of Environmental Management System (EMS).

Title A name given to the resource Factors Influencing Cyberloafing Behaviour among Employees. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Degnon Cyane Emeline Description An account of the resource The research was mainly to investigate on factors influencing cyberloafing behavior. Basically, the researchers identified the factors influencing cyberloafing within some Ghanaians organizations and critically analyse the impacts of cyberloafing behavior on both employee performance and organization. The researcher examined the determining factors and consequences of cyberloafing behavior, identified the factors at the origin of cyberloafing and then investigated on the controlling measures as a toll for management to eradicate to the phenomenon. The factors that can justify cyberloafing behavior vary from one place to the other. The main factors influencing cyberloafing were found as individual factors, organizational factors, and situational factors. Among the multitude of individual attitudes and behaviors in the workplace, personality traits seem to be the focusing area of many scholars to explain the behavior and might be used in this research as well. The examination of individuals’ prexisting tendencies can provide the proof that the internet is misused. The research was based on one main source of data, quantitative research approach, thus, primary and secondary sources of data collection were used to help identify the result of the study. The primary data sources include collection of data from certain organization in Ghana. Data collection was through the use of questionnaires. Secondary data were obtained through supportive material and research works from text book, articles, report and other electronic sources as well as those from the University library and international journals available online which were a great support for this study. The data analysis were done through one sample t-test to assess cyberloafing prevalence and employee performance, while path coefficient analyses were used to assess factors influencing cyberloafing and its impacts on employee performance. The result revealed that there is a relationship between cyberloafing and employee performance. Further studies also demonstrated that cyberloafing was having a great impact both on employee performance and organization.

Title A name given to the resource Assessment of Supply Chain Management Practices and its Effect on Performance of Ghana Oil and Gas Downstream Sector: A Case Study of Total Petroleum Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Basirata Abu Description An account of the resource In Ghana, petroleum products account for about 26% of total energy consumption (Ministry of Energy, 2010) and about 70% of Ghana’s commercial energy needs (Oil and Gas in Ghana - Overview, 2013). The Ministry of Energy estimates that the market for major petroleum products in Ghana will grow by 5.3% annually through 2015 and projects this figure is likely to increase if economic growth is sustained. The petroleum industry includes the global processes of exploration, extracting, refining, transporting and marketing petroleum products. The industry is usually divided into three major sectors: upstream, midstream and downstream (Petroleum Industry, Wikipedia, 2013). The upstream is concerned with exploration and production, the midstream deals with storage, marketing and transportation of commodities like crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs, mainly ethane, propane and butane) and sulphur. The downstream sector involves oil refineries, petrochemical plants, petroleum products distributors, retail outlets and natural gas distribution companies. Midstream operations are considered a part of the downstream sector. In Ghana, the upstream sector is regulated by the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), whilst the downstream sector, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA). The discovery of oil in commercial quantities in 2007 raised the expectations of stakeholders and consumers alike of the petroleum sector on its significant role and contribution to Ghana’s developmental efforts in accelerated economic growth, job creation, poverty reduction and general prosperity to the people of Ghana (National Energy Policy, 2010).

Title A name given to the resource To Evaluate Employees’ Benefits and Its Influence on Their Productivity at Palmers Green Group Of Companies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Benjamin Hayford Kwesi Baidoo Description An account of the resource Employees’ productivity is a relationship that exists between outputs and inputs. Employees’ benefits play a significant role in an organization that wants to achieve its strategic goals and objectives. In this sense, organization that is unable to effectively manage this aspect of human resource activity will end up experiencing a decline in organization and employees’ performance, as well as their productivity. There are instances that the employees themselves do not recognize the fact that, their benefits is a package and not only cash related. Based on the understanding, it can be stated that, the understanding of employee benefits package is managed poorly and most of the time, these employees productivity is adversely impacted negatively. In this sense, it is of the researcher to investigate to the understanding of what actually contribute to the main employees’ benefits package and how it can effectively be managed and be linked to their productivity. For the purpose of this study, the descriptive survey was used. The study will be carried out at Palmers Green Group of Companies. Currently, the total population in this organization is 105. However, to be able to capture a balance report, the research will focus on the managements, board of directors and the employees. From the data gathered from the respondents, the benefit packages available include employment security benefits, protection of health benefits, retirement benefits and personnel recognition benefits. However, based on these 4 concepts, it can categorically be stated that, for organizations to be able to management their benefits to employees effectively, they require a positive influence towards the employees, and need to have an in-depth understanding of the various approach of employee benefits as the main factor that can motivate employees and further direct the employees towards achieving organizational goals and objectives. It is recommended that, the managements of the organization need to make provision for every new employee a copy of the compensation manual and this need to be discussed to them during their orientation Subject The topic of the resource MBA Finance Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource JANUARY, 2018 https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/66c79c06418ff44f99ff1f806f0f26a3.pdf bf4af5eef1345bf67e74b717b0d1c6d4 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 Assessing the Relationship between Corporate Social Responsiblity and Financial Performance: The Impact of the Ghana Alternative Market (GAX) on the Financial Performance of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Sector in Ghana; A Case Study of IZWE Loans Limited Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Baffour Kwakye Agyarko Description An account of the resource The dissertation evaluated the impact of Ghana Alternative Exchange Market (“GAX”) on the financial performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (“SMEs”) in Ghana using Izwe Loans Limited (“Izwe Loans”) as the case under study. In assessing impact of growth, the research undertook a descriptive statistics evaluation of five key financial performance indicators and interpreted the outcome. The study first and foremost described the emergence of alternative exchanges in other jurisdictions across the globe specifically in Europe, Asia and other African countries in a bid to resolve challenges SMEs or small businesses face in assessing funds from the capital market to finance their operations. Further, an overview of SMEs and the important role they play in economic development of nations was also highlighted citing access to finance as a major constraint they face. Theoretical and empirical review of literature related to this thesis were also evaluated and research gaps pointed out. To satisfy the research hypothesis of whether or not the GAX has had any effect on the growth of Izwe Loans, this study adopted both trend analysis to examine the trends in the financial performance of Izwe Loans and repeated measure multivariate analysis of variance (one-way rMANOVA) to estimate the model. From the trend analysis, it was found that, Izwe Loans recorded its lowest figures in 2014 having recorded fluctuating figures in 2012 and 2013. Three of the five performance indicators examined however began to rise steadily in 2015 and 2016. Inferring from the descriptive statistics results, only two ratios return on asset and return on equity recorded any significant improvement in financial performance post the GAX listing. The other three indicators, Net Interest Margin, Operating Profit Margin and Net Profit Margin did not post any significant improvement after the GAX listing. The conclusion of the study was that, the GAX has had some positive impact on Izwe Loans in terms of ROE and ROA but further studies on the GAX and listed SMEs need to carried when more data is available to re-assess its impact on the listed companies.
