Abstract

Purpose: The main goal of this study is to determine how work-life balance factors influence employees' job satisfaction in the security sector. Research Methodology: To sample 115 employees, a quantitative methodology and correlational descriptive design, as well as a census technique, were used. The data were collected using structured questionnaires. The hypotheses were tested using multiple linear regression, and the data were input, processed, and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: The findings showed that employees benefit from the organization's work-life balance strategies developed to guarantee that work life is easy for all employees. It also highlighted that several work-life balance elements have a substantial influence on employees' job satisfaction. Limitations: A drawback is that, especially in Ghana's security industry, work-life balance practice has received less attention in the management literature. The study was limited in scope and concentrated on two districts in an urban environment. Contribution: This theory supports the notion that elements of work-life balance influence job satisfaction. Whatever occurred or Any effort made to support employees’ work life would produce definite results when these factors or practices are ingrained into the security service and other organizations’ general policies and programs. This amply demonstrates the importance of work-life balance as a pivot point for employees' ability to meet organizational goals. It is good that the human resource management of every organization pays critical attention to these factors because they will increase job satisfaction and enhance performance.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the level of knowledge of the government's Covid-19 stimulus package among SMEs in the Cape Coast Metropolitan area. Research methodology: A quantitative and descriptive approach was employed. Using purposive sampling, 234 SMEs were selected. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics via SPSS version 20. Results: The findings reveal that SMEs have a poor level of awareness and low access to the stimulus package. Additionally, political affiliation emerged as a significant barrier, along with other challenges in accessing support. Conclusion: Low awareness and limited access have hindered SMEs in Cape Coast from benefiting from the government’s Covid-19 stimulus package. Political factors and poor information flow were identified as key obstacles. More transparent and inclusive approaches are necessary to enhance support effectiveness during crises. Limitations: The study is limited in scope, focusing only on a single urban area. As the pandemic continues to affect business operations, broader research is recommended across wider regions. Contribution: The study reinforces the theoretical understanding that during a crisis like Covid-19, government intervention through financial support—explicit or implicit—is crucial to sustain the SME sector. It emphasizes the need for well-structured, inclusive policy implementation to enable SMEs to contribute effectively to national economic resilience.

Abstract

Purpose: The goal of this study is to look into how demographic factors influence employee performance in an owner-manager manufacturing firm. Research Methodology: The research was carried out in an owner-manager firm in Cape Coast, Ghana's central region. For data translation and analysis, a quantitative approach and a correlational study design were used, as well as a census sampling technique to sample 400 employees, an interview schedule, multiple linear regression, and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0 Versions. Result: The findings show that age and education have an impact on employees’ performance. The findings also revealed that age and department have an impact on employee absenteeism. Again the result shows that age, education, and tenure respectively influences employees’ output. However, some demographic factors have no relationship with employees’ performance, absenteeism, or output. Limitation: Time constraints, assumptions about the underlying theory, and the unwillingness of respondents to give out information were all limitations. Contribution: SMEs owners and managers must not overlook these elements, as they have a variety of effects on employees’ performance, how they miss work, and output levels. It is thought that paying attention to an employee's age groups, level of education, the department they work in and what transpired there, and years of experience will go a long way in assisting them in performing to a satisfactory level and increasing their performance.

Abstract

Purpose: This is to look into the impact of leadership on employee output in the local governance sector during the COVID – 19 Era. Research Methodology: A quantitative and descriptive approach, as well as a census method, were used to sample 220 employees. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data, multiple linear regression was used to test hypotheses, and SPSS version 20 was used to input, process, and analyze data. Result: The findings demonstrate that visionary, laissez-faire, and servant leadership styles have a considerable impact on staff output. Furthermore, employees' output is unaffected by autocratic and charismatic leadership styles. Limitation: The research only investigated five different types of leadership styles. Within the central region, it was similarly limited to only one metropolitan assembly. Contribution: It was demonstrated by the theory that under the local government, some various forces and situations drive the organization's activities; thus, leadership should be ready to change and dynamically position themselves to handle issues that arise.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the association between leadership styles and employee performance in a family-owned manufacturing business. Research methodology: For data translation and analysis, the study used a quantitative approach and a correlational design, a census technique of sampling 400 employees, an interview schedule, multiple linear regression, and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 16.0 Versions. Results: Results revealed that autocratic, charismatic, and paternalistic leadership styles influence employees' performance. The result also revealed that autocratic, charismatic, and visionary leadership styles influence error reduction. Again the result shows that paternalistic and visionary leadership styles influence employees' quality of work. Limitations: The study's main weakness is that it only looked at nine specific leadership styles and their effects on employee performance. Contribution: Given this, managers should consider using leadership styles with stronger predictions in a given situation to drive employees' performance, reduce employees' errors in work and enhance employees' quality of work.
