Title A name given to the resource Curbing recidivism in Ghana: the nexus between career self-efficacy and psychological empowerment Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stewart Selase Hevi, Clemence Dupey Agbenorxevi, Ebenezer Malcalm, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource Purpose This paper aims to investigate the moderated-mediation roles of career crafting as well as leader-member exchange (LMX) between career decision self-efficacy and psychological empowerment among ex-offenders in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach A purposive sampling technique was used in selecting of 412 ex-offenders at various religious rehabilitation units in Ghana. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to investigate the hypothesized paths. Findings The findings show that LMX moderates the mediated link between career crafting and psychological empowerment. Research limitations/implications Guided by the positivist paradigm deployed in the study, some methodological limitations such as the inability to provide an in-depth explanation of cause-and-effect relationships are worth noting for future studies to explore.

Title A name given to the resource Leadership and Employee Performance in the Ghanaian Public Sector: A Humanistic Perspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako Asiedu, Kenneth Parku, Frank LK Ohemeng, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource Leadership is seen as an imperative stimulus for the effective functioning of employees, be they in the public or private sectors. Humanistic leadership has to do with leadership that the acceptance of humanistic ideals by leaders will result in a shared common spirit, uniting the leaders and their employees which in turn will drive employee performance. Using the Ghana public service as a case, where the performance is considered unacceptable, the study attempts to answer the question: in what ways can leaders utilise the humanistic leadership style to facilitate employees’ performance in the public services in developing countries? We contend that leadership that focuses on respecting people, striving to pursue the common good, and going beyond the “boss-subordinate” model of power and influence, will lead to employees reciprocating which in turn will stimulate employee performance.

Title A name given to the resource The Current State of Performance-Based Budgeting and Its Impact on Public Budgeting in Ghana: Views from Budget Officers Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Ohemeng, Emelia Amoako Asiedu, Accra Legon, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Juliana Abane, Kenneth Parku Description An account of the resource The original aim of PB, in the United States, as well as in other countries that adopted this innovation, was to purge budgeting of its line-item focus on the cost of inputs and to base spending decisions on the work to be performed. It bears remembering that most OECD countries once had highly itemized budgets, with expenditures structured into detailed classifications of personnel, supplies, travel, equipment and other goods and services purchased by governments. In some countries, national budgets were long shopping lists, bereft of explanations of what the items would be used for; in others, the budget had narrative descriptions of government activities, but little explanation of what they were expected to accomplish (5).

Title A name given to the resource Psychological Contract Breach, Stress and Employee Engagement During and After COVID-19: The Role of Inclusive Leadership Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kenneth Parku, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Emelia Amoaku Asiedu Description An account of the resource Objective–This study extends both Social Exchange Theory and the Job Demands–Resources model by examining the connection between psychological contract breach, job stress and employee engagement in relation to the role inclusive leadership plays. Methodology–Using a quantitative approach, data was gathered from two hundred and two (202) respondents, selected using convenience sampling technique. Data gathered was analysed using SPSS version 26 and SmartPLS 4. Findings–Results showed that Job Stress had a negative statistically significant impact on Inclusive Leadership Employee Engagement, Innovative Output and Turnover Intent. Inclusive Leadership Psychological Contract Breach had a positive significant relationship with Innovative Output but a negative relationship with Job Stress. The study also found out that Job Stress mediates the relationship between Inclusive Leadership Psychological Contract Breach and Inclusive Leadership Employee Engagement. Novelty–The study contributes to clarifying and extend the social exchange theory (SET) by unravelling how the inclusive leader operates on respect, recognition, responsiveness and responsibility, in the reciprocal relationship between himself and their subordinates. Additionally, the study identifies the relationship between psychological contract breach, job stress and employee engagement in a developing country after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Title A name given to the resource The power of faith: how religion shapes the decision making and choices of Ghanaian consumers–insights from a cross-sectional study Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Prince Dieu Donne Fonu, Richard Kofi Asravor, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource Religion plays a significant role in the lives of many Ghanaians, yet its influence on individual decision-making remains underexplored. This study investigates how religion shapes Ghanaians’ choices across various domains, including food consumption, fashion, career, marriage, trust in religious leaders, and contraception usage. Using survey data, the Relative Importance Index (RII), and regression analysis, the RII results show that religion accounts for more than 60% of all decisions made by Ghanaians. The regression analysis suggests that religion influences food and meat product consumption, belief in religious leaders, and the use of contraceptives and family planning methods. Individuals with higher levels of education are less likely to allow religion to influence most of their choices. These findings underscore the pervasive role of religion in shaping both personal and societal decisions in Ghana, serving … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Cogent Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:NMxIlDl6LWMC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/79a95f598b83f80f0e75038990b60bf6.pdf 14f97ef529147360a2896e8b087dbef4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Drawing on the "theory of lobby," the study extends previous analyses to examine how fossil fuel production influences the possibility of transitioning to renewable energy. The results, based on a stepwise estimation technique, within a two-regime Markov-switching Model, show a consistent negative relationship between fossil fuel production and renewable energy deployment, supporting the lobby effect theory in Ghana's energy economy. Notably, while fossil fuel production initially increases the probability of transitioning to renewable energy (from 39.65 % to 58.42 %), this trend is reversed by foreign direct investment, reducing the likelihood to approximately 42 %. These findings underscore the need to expand the lobby-effect theory to include … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived http://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:YFjsv_pBGBYC Language A language of the resource English 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 Emotional intelligence and work engagement Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Ophelia Delali Dogbe-Zungbey, Frederick Frimpong, Evans Sokro Description An account of the resource Although emotional intelligence has been linked to employee engagement in the private sector, there is very little research regarding public sector employees. This study explores how emotional intelligence influences work engagement with work-related psychological impact acting as a moderator. The study adopts the cognitive–motivational–relational theory of emotions, which has a minimal research focus in developing countries. Using stratified random sampling, a self designed questionnaire and interviews, data was gathered from public servants and analysed. The results showed that Emotional Intelligence (emotional management, emotional evaluation and emotional control) positively influences work engagement. Also, emotional management had the highest (positive) impact on work engagement among the three variables. Additionally, it was discovered that the psychological needs at the workplace … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Environment and Social Psychology Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 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:dshw04ExmUIC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/ac0287e2ee3b28d908dcd4b7fe153dd9.pdf 2ce7aa081e1aa1c5f0eb076840ae3d58 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 Business Administration: An Introduction for Managers and Business Professionals Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kwame Adom, Robert Ebo Hinson, Enoch Opare Mintah, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource The progress of several businesses was severely challenged through the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, with several businesses collapsing globally. Apart from the pandemic, the business posture and dynamics of yesteryear has significantly changed, as the way business is conducted today, especially in this era of Industry 4.0 and the proliferation of technology-assisted processes, have created a new environment for doing business. Comparatively, yesterday’s businesses seemed to have been in the" dark," keeping itself within limited geographical locations, contacts, and markets. However, business today, with the technological boom, has created a global village with the advent of the World Wide Web and social media which is redefining the way business is conducted especially in product and service development, marketing and publicity, customer attraction and retention, scouting and recruitment, and so on. This book responds to contemporary calls for new ways of managing businesses with practitioner-oriented discourses on topical issues like business environments and how modern businesses can thrive in the same. It discusses in some detail the general composition of business environments, specific factors that influence the operations and decisions of a business within its environment, the level of control businesses have over the factors that operate within the business environment, and the need for businesses to be proactive and to strategise in order to take advantage of the opportunities the business environment presents as while minimising the negative effects some factors also present.

Title A name given to the resource Establishing the relationship between work-family balance and work-family conflict: the role of organisational and individual factors Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Majoreen Osafroadu Amankwah, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Setsoafia Sena Ama Pearl Description An account of the resource The study examined the impact of organizational and individual factors on the relationship between work-family balance and work-family conflict through a survey. Data from 250 respondents were analysed using the pearson product moment correlation, ANOVA and hierarchical multiple regression. Results showed that the interaction between marital status (individual factor) and working hours (organizational factor) did not impact work-family balance. Further, a significant negative relationship exists between work-family balance and work-family conflict, gender and age. Also, marital status and working hours were positively related to work-family balance. Marital status and working hours significantly moderate the relationship between work-family conflict and work-family balance. Although working hours moderate the relationship between work-family conflict and work-family balance, it did not account for a significant variance in work-family balance. Furthermore, educational level did not significantly relate to work-family balance. These findings imply that for organizational growth to be improved, stakeholders need to consider advancing work-family balance practices to cater for both employees’ and organizational needs.
