Title: CONSTRAINTS TO ADOPTION OF ICT BY HUMAN RESOURCE STAFF OF GHANA COMMERCIAL BANK A CASE OF TAMALE-MAIN, ABOABO AND HOSPITAL ROAD BRANCHES Authors: Mohammed Abubakari Sadiq, M. A.; Bawa, M.; Antwi, J. Abstract: Adoption of ICT in organizational management in general and Human Resource Management (HRM) in Ghanaian banks in particular has so far made a very significant impact among HR functions. A sample seventy (70) respondents were selected from the targeted population using a simple random sampling strategy in order to meets the study's goal. Self-administered closed-ended questionnaire was used to collect primary data from the respondents. The collected data was analyze using the SPSS software program and the results presented in tables. The study concluded that a higher proportion of junior staff members agreed with the statements regarding the lack of time and internal resources for implementing ICT projects, high financial expense, knowledge scarcity, and lack of support from upper management. The study recommends organization consider improving the information and training provided to staff members on ICT projects, as a lack of information and understanding may be contributing to the high monetary cost and lack of time to implement ICT projects

Title: A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE FIVE-FACTOR MODEL FOR SUCCESS OF INTERNAL CONSULTANTS OUTLINED BY CHRISTINE MILLER AND KARTHIK SUBBIAH (2012) Authors: Adu-Gyamfi, M.; Alhassan, I.; Asafo, S.M.; Nyame, G. Abstract: The concept of internal consultancy is gradually gaining greater recognition in many organizations today. A number of models have been put forward to address challenges faced by Internal Consultants (ICs) as far as business and change initiative’s successes are concerned. This article reviewed the five-factor model proposed by Miller and Subbiah (2012) and discusses the challenges of the model as a basis to make the work of the IC successful. Further, we proposed an integrative balanced approach model to enhance the one proposed by Miller and Subbiah (2012). Literature was thoroughly reviewed to understand and analyze the five factors and their relevant interconnectivity as well as the levels of success anticipated for an effective change initiative. Despite the relevance of the model, the analysis shows an ecosystem of ICs as a structure, suggesting multiplicity of factors to guarantee change success. Moreover, the dimensionality of the factors, their possible combination and presence support, and their degree of influence and prioritization emerged as significant aspects of the model that requires thorough assessment to ensure successful change initiative. Also, the three levels of change are integrated into the balanced approach model for quality feedback between performance and relationship. Hence, these useful aspects of the five factors pointed out in this article can aid practitioners and researchers to customize strategies to fit into specific contexts in ensuring presence support and effectiveness of the factors as well as other related factors.

Title: ESTIMATING JOB SATISFACTION AND COMMITMENT CORRELATE OF SENIOR STAFF MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES, TAMALE, GHANA Authors: Abdallah, Y.; Alhassan, I. Abstract: Purpose: Employees’ Job Satisfaction (JS) is becoming an important asset to an organisation, especially in the recent past. All other things being equal, satisfied employees are likely to be more productive as a result of citizenship and/or loyalty, decreased-absenteeism, high commitment and so on. With the knowledge that a positive relationship may exist between employees JS and their commitment, it becomes imperative that management of universities institute measures to regularly collect data on employees’ JS. Thus, this study examined Senior Staff (SS) JS and their commitment relationship in the University for Development Studies (UDS), Tamale. Methodology: A structured questionnaire was administered to 231 Senior Staff (SS) members of the University. Of this number, which was determined using the Taro Yamane’s formula for sample size determination, valid data retrieved and analysed represented a response rate of 92 per cent (212). Whilst the study employs One-Way ANOVA to compare the JS and the commitment level among the SS employee group to the University, Correlation and Regression Analyses were performed to establish associations and to determine the cause-effect relationship between the two variables. Findings: The results of the study indicated that 74 per cent of SS commitment is influenced by their satisfaction level. Thus, the study concluded that the management of the University should priorities staff JS in almost all its corporate decisions, as this will engender their commitment to the University. Unique Contribution to Practice and Policy: Organisational Commitment (OC) with all its dimensions (affective, continuance and normative) were confirmed to have a positive relationship with the JS of SS of a multi-campus public university; suggesting that OC does not only predicts JS in terms of teaching staff, as indicated by previous studies, but it also does so even with SS (who are in the non-teaching category). It was, therefore, recommend, based on the findings of this study, that the management of the UDS should priorities staff JS in almost all its corporate decisions, as this will engender their commitment to the University.

Title: DETERMINING THE EFFECT OF MICROFINANCE ON SMALL SCALE ENTERPRISES: THE CASE OF HOHOE MUNICIPALITY OF GHANA Authors: Anaman, D. K.; Ghartey, B. B. Abstract: The fundamental objective of this study is to assess the impact of Microfinance on Small Scale Enterprises (SSEs) in Hohoe. Simple Random Sampling technique was employed in selecting the 80 SSEs that constituted the sample size for the study. Structured questionnaire was designed to facilitate the acquisition of relevant data which was used for analysis. Descriptive statistics which involves simple percentages, graphical charts and illustrations were applied in data presentations and analysis. The findings of this study reveal that significant number of the SSEs benefitted from the MFIs loans even though only few of them were capable to secure the required amount needed. Interestingly, majority of the SSEs acknowledge positive contributions of MFIs loans towards promoting their market share. The study recommends that management of microfinance institutions should incorporate SSE’s views or inputs into the formulation or review of their credit management policies. The microfinance institutions may consider embarking on monitoring the SSEs to ensure that the loans are being used for its intended purpose.
