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.
