Abstract

Purpose: The primary goal of the research was to assess the relationship between Ghanaian commercial banks' profitability and portfolio management. Research methodology: All nine of the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE)'s listed banks were included in the population of this descriptive study. All nine banks were sampled. This study only considered data from financial statements and bank reports covering the five-year period between 2016 and 2021. Results: Results showed that asset investment has a positive effect on the financial performance of commercial banks in Ghana. Additionally, a positive effect of the loan portfolio on the commercial banks’ financial performance was found. It was finally discovered that asset investment affects the banks’ financial performance in a significantly positive way. Limitations: The study was limited to nine banks listed on the GSE. Contribution: It was concluded that when there is a good loan portfolio management policy, banks perform well and are profitable. Consequently, it is advised that top management and other stakeholders play a crucial role in achieving strategic goals by championing best practices in portfolio management and evaluating the sufficiency of effective portfolio management factors in an unbiased manner.

Abstract

Purpose: The study examined the role of e-leadership in adapting to technological development. Research methodology: A mixed methods triangulation approach was used for the study. Quantitative data was collected from 297 customers and 146 employees of telecommunication companies in Ghana using a questionnaire. For qualitative data, 12 respondents were interviewed. Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics for IBM SPSS Statistics 24. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: It was found that e-leadership discourages face-to-face interactions. Leaders tend to employ the use of social media when communicating with team members during rapid technological development. Virtual teams are employed while completing projects. Managers show empathy, provide effective supervision and are always available online to assist virtual team members who happen to encounter challenges, in a timely manner. Limitations: This study was limited to employees and customers of telecommunication companies in Ghana. Contribution: This research has exposed that E-leadership positively affects the productivity of virtual team members, who tend to face challenges during technological advancement. This implies that with e-leadership, the level of difficulty faced while adapting to rapid technological development is significantly reduced. Novelty: There is a need for managers to be consistent with the application of the e-leadership concept no matter how sophisticated technology gets. It is therefore recommended that managers continue with the use of e-leadership while providing guidance for challenged virtual team members.
