Despite its acceptance as a tool to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability, many continue to question its efficacy to enhance organizational performance in public services. This is because organizational performance problems continue to persist in the sector. How then can this persistence of organizational performance problems be explained? For some scholars, the answer lies in examining the behaviour of employees and thus moving away from the instrumentality of PM. While this is laudable, what influences employees’ behaviours for them to engage in activities that make nonsense of the existence of PM has not been greatly articulated.

Dissecting Public Policy Making in Africa: Theoretica, Analytical, and Methodological Perspectives … Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako-Asiedu, Frank Ohemeng, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Mr Kenneth Parku Description An account of the resource The role of traditional leaders (chiefs) in national development in Africa continues to generate significant debate among academics, especially those in the political science, anthropology, and economics literature. Chiefs are seen as local developers, as well as democratic brokers, but not as policy brokers, and thus minimizing their role in the national policy making process. The chiefs' potentially constructive role in national development, is facilitating local development projects, and influencing public policies for national development. We challenge the idea that chiefs are local development and democratic brokers, but rather they serve as policy brokers, ensuring that policies that impact national development are developed by government for the betterment of citizens. We, aslo argue that chiefs continue to play an important role in the process of good governance by serving as policy brokers and this role needs to critically highlighted in the public policy literature. We attempt to answer these questions how effective have traditional rulers (Chiefs) been in their role as policy brokers in Ghana? What specific roles have chiefs played as brokers in the governance and how successful have they been? Using the desktop research approach, it was identified that these traditional leaders are considered as severing as policy brokers in their roles as effecting cultural change, resolving conflict, brokering development projects settling disputes on land, acting as intermediaries and expressing their legitimacy as well as democratic and policy brokers in their significant role in the national policy making process.

Title A name given to the resource The challenges of central government fiscal and financial policies on local government programmes in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako-Asiedu, Kwame Ameyaw Domfeh Description An account of the resource Growing interest in the area of participation especially at the local level stems from the belief that democratic approaches to governance achieve better development outcomes. Over the past decade, World Bank has been promoting Community-Driven Development (CDD) programs, an approach that is believed to give local people total control over development projects. Using the qualitative approach to research, the study relies on secondary data and extant literature on decentralization theory and practice. Various legal frameworks in Ghana underpinning decentralization and local governance were utilized to extrapolate challenges of central government fiscal and financial policies on local government programmes, drawing very much on the history, structure and policies of decentralization in Ghana.

However, the subject of stakeholder legitimacy perceptions which impact the willingness and ability of stakeholders to engage with entrepreneurial ventures have not been fully explored in the entrepreneurship literature. This research fills the knowledge gap by reviewing literature on venture legitimacy, firm innovation, and stakeholders. Accordingly, the study discusses the perception of five stakeholder groups on firm legitimacy and suggests how they impact innovation in developing economies. At the end of the chapter, we highlight the critical issues of legitimacy perceptions, innovation, and stakeholders and point out potential avenues for further research.

Title A name given to the resource Leadership, employee engagement and employee performance in the public sector of Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako-Asiedu, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource Organisations are developing interest in the effective management of their employees’ performance in today’s competitive environment. Effective leadership has become increasingly necessary for organisations who are interested in improving employee performance. Extant literature confirms the role leaders play in the management of employee performance as well as ensuring high levels of employee engagement. This paper seeks to identify the relationship between leadership style, employee engagement and performance in public sector organisations. Adopting a mixed method approach, the study employed convenience sampling and data was obtained from questionnaire and interviews. Using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and content analysis the results showed that motivation and quality play an important mediating effect on the effect of leadership on employee performance. It was also found that fairness, flexibility, involvement in decision making and creating an environment where an employee feels valued and respected made employees engaged. Results also showed that engaged employees perform to their maximum best.
