Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the characteristics and factors influencing the decision to save at Islamic banks, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research methodology: The sample used in this study amounted to 400 participants, which were collected by online questionnaire. A logistic regression was also employed to estimate the influence of independent variables on the saving decisions of customers. This was accompanied by the implementation of descriptive analysis, to determine the characteristics of Islamic bank customers during the pandemic. Results: The characteristics of the participants were dominated by people aged 17-25, with the majority of them residing in West Java and working as a student. Besides this, data were also analyzed by using logistic regression analysis. Based on the results, several factors influenced the saving decisions of Islamic bank customers. In this case, evaluation and strategy were carried out to increase customer interest through knowledge of the types and benefits of Islamic savings. Limitations: This study was limited to the analysis of the factors influencing the saving decisions of Islamic bank customers during COVID-19. The contribution derived was also related to the saving demands of customers in Islamic banking. Contribution: The results highlighted the characteristics of Islamic bank customers during the pandemic, as reference material for banking managers to increase interest in their financial products. Originality: Based on the logistic regression, religiosity, knowledge, promotion, location, and age positively/significantly affected saving decisions at Islamic banks during the COVID-19 pandemic. This indicated that Islamic banking was not stuck in the market segment of the Muslim community, regarding the promotion of their products. In addition, promotion quality should be essentially improved, accompanied by the maintenance of business ethics and image as an Islamic bank.

Abstract

Purpose: The research on the internal controls of Rukiga SACCO was conducted in Rukiga District to examine the segregation of duties, determine the impact of independent checks, and assess the risk management on the financial performance of the organization. Research methodology: This research was carried out after the cross-sectional survey. The bivariate correlations between the predictor components and the dependent variable were examined using a Pearson correlation matrix, and a linear regression model was used to fit the data. Results: The regression model results showed that segregation of duties (R=762), independent checks (R=676), and risk management (R=899) had beneficial influence on Rukiga SACCO performance. Furthermore, the performance was impacted by risk management, separation of roles, and independent checks. Limitations: The structured questionnaire, which was administered by the participant, served as the primary data collection tool. The probability of non-responses occurred due to the loss of control over the questionnaire after submission to respondents. This situation had a significant impact on the data analysis and the generalizability of the findings. Contribution: Task segregation, independent auditing, and risk management should be considered to achieve loan portfolio expansion, profitability development, and market share increase, which were crucial elements of Rukiga SACCO performance.

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.

Abstract

Purpose: Purpose: This study proposes to integrate supportive leadership, leader-member exchange (LMX), and employee creativity. It suggests that LMX can play a role as a mediator. Research methodology: A total of 200 participants were included in this study. They were working for a tobacco company located in a district in Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Analysis for hypotheses was done in SPSS and AMOS. Results: It was found that supportive leadership was positively related to leader-member exchange (LMX) and employee creativity. Leader-member exchange (LMX) was positively related to employee creativity. Finally, leader-member exchange (LMX) mediated the relationship between supportive leadership and employee creativity. Limitations: The participants of this study were taken from one company. This might lower the generalizability of the results. Another limitation of this study is the use is a cross-sectional method in the data collection which might result in a common method variance. Future studies could employ other data collection methods. For example, a multi-wave of data collection can remedy the problem. Contribution: The study suggests that a supportive leadership style is necessary to implement because it can promote a higher quality of the relationship between employees and their supervisors. More importantly, this aligns with the organizational effort to foster employee creativity. Novelty: The study found that supportive leadership can promote leader-member exchange (LMX) quality. Since the dyad relationship quality characterized by leader-member exchange (LMX) is necessary for team effectiveness, the investigation of the link may provide an understanding of the factors that may influence leader-member exchange (LMX).

Abstract

Purpose: The study explored entrepreneurship education and personality traits as predictors of entrepreneurial intention among final-year undergraduate students of a private institution in Ghana. Research methodology: A qualitative research approach was used in a case study design for this research. A purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from final-year students pursuing an undergraduate program in Information Technology from a private tertiary institution in Ghana. Observation and focus group discussions were used to collect data over a period of ten weeks. Results: Results indicated that though all students were exposed to the same tuition, course content and assessments; the level of entrepreneurial intention varied. Some groups of students wanted to pursue entrepreneurial ventures immediately after school; others wanted to start a business venture while they were still in school pursuing their first degree. Another set preferred to work as employees for a few years before pursuing entrepreneurship. The final group preferred to be employed throughout their working life with the aim of rising through the ranks as employees; with all the various groups showing a variety of personality traits. Limitations: The study was limited to final-year undergraduate students of a private institution in Ghana. Contribution: Educators, who specialize in training students in entrepreneurship need to focus more on orienting students to effectively manage their individual personality traits in ways that will ensure successful entrepreneurship careers. Novelty: This study qualitatively shows the varied levels at which entrepreneurship education affects students’ entrepreneurial intentions based on their personality traits.

Abstract

Purpose: The study analysed perceptions of international students in a Ghanaian private university college on the effect of information technology on banking operations as they have experienced it in Ghana. Research methodology: A mixed methods research approach was used for this study. Data were collected from 60 international students who were sampled randomly from the population of international students in the college. Descriptive statistics from IBM SPSS Statistics 24 was used to analyse quantitative data, while thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. Results: Findings showed that even though information technology affects banking operations positively by making operations efficient, easier and faster for both employees and customers; it has increased the rate of fraudulent banking activities. This has exposed clients and employees alike, to a higher risk of fraud and other fraud-related activities. Limitations: This study was limited to international students of a private university college in Ghana. Data were collected from an online survey; hence a limitation to the number of international students who participated in the study. Contribution: Despite the fact that information technology influences banking operations in Ghana positively, it has resulted in increased fraudulent activities related to banking operations. This requires that policymakers improve online security in the banking space. Novelty: There is an emphasis that though technology’s use in banking operations has a positive effect, it also presents banking institutions with an increased risk of fraud as perceived by international students schooling in a private tertiary institution in Ghana.

Abstract

Purpose: Leadership is a critical factor for individual and organizational success in today's complex and dynamic business environments. Effective leaders possess a wide range of competencies that enable them to inspire, guide, and influence others to achieve common goals. This study examines the concept of leadership competencies and their roles in fostering individual and organizational success. Research methodology: This methodological approach is based on a review of published literature outlining the significance of the leadership competency concept and the four key emerging leadership competencies for organizational performance. Results: The findings indicate the importance of the competency paradigm, which contributes to the quality of leadership. Specifically, key emerging competencies will provide valuable insights for leaders, human resource professionals, and researchers in the field of leadership development. Limitations: The research review method is based on secondary data; hence, it has its limitations. Owing to the evolving dynamic contextual leadership landscape, some crucial leadership competencies may emerge over time in some geographical organizational contexts. This necessitates a continual study and analysis of the evolving trends in emerging leadership competencies in organizations. Contribution: This study contributes to enhancing insights and knowledge of leadership development. Other concepts discussed include the competency definitions, competency model, skill-based model, and integrative competency framework. Novelty: The research and discussion on the proposed integrative emerging leadership competencies add to the merit of this paper. There is evidence that the competency framework results in individual and organizational performance.
