The specific objectives were to investigate the effect of work-life balance factors (flexible work arrangements, leave policies, dependent care assistance, and wellness and personal development programs) on employee performance, and to analyze how gender differences influence the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance. The study employed an explanatory research design using a quantitative approach. The sample size was determined as 269 participants based on the Krejcie and Morgan table, with a response rate of 81% (218 responses). Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS (version 26) and SmartPLS (version 3.3.3) software. The findings revealed that all dimensions of work-life balance had a significant positive influence on employee performance. Dependent care assistance and flexible work arrangements had the largest significant and positive impact on employee performance. Additionally, the study established that gender differences moderated the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance, specifically regarding the implementation of leave arrangements and dependent care assistance. Based on the results, the recommendation is that the design and implementation of work-life balance policies should be tailored to accommodate all employees without discrimination based on gender, as the university seeks to enhance employee performance. The policies should consider the diverse needs and preferences of both male and female administrative staff. xi, 108p:, ill Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/12232 2024-11-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/12173 Organisational Change and Employees Intention to Stay at the Berekum Municipality: The Moderating Role of Ethical Leadership Tiwaah, Mavis Dwumah This study examined the effect of organizational change on employee intention to stay through the moderating role of ethical leadership in Berekum Municipality in the Bono Region, Ghana. The proposed conceptual model is tested by using the data collected from a sample (n = 269) of assembly staff at Berekum municipality. The study employed a explantory research design. A total of 269 respondents were used as sample population determined using the Morgan table. The study adopted structural equation modelling for the analyses. The measurement models used for the study were the indicator loadings, internal consistency reliability, Convergent validity and the Discriminant validity. Findings revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between organisational change and employee intention to stay. Further, ethical leadership showed a positive and significant effect on employees’ intention to stay. Finally, ethical leadership moderates the effect of organisational change on employees’ intention to stay. This study elucidates that, in Berekum municipality, ethical leadership plays a key role in decreasing employees’ intention to quit. The study concludes that the demonstration of ethical leadership behaviours by assembly staff at the municipal reduces employee’s intention to leave the job via the implementation of change interventions. The study thereby recommended that leaders must create an ethically friendly work environment for all employees, communicate ethical issues, serve as role models and ensure the development of responsible employees. xi, 140p:, ill.

With a quantitative approach, data was gathered from the users of the system and the system administrators using in- structured questionnaires. Results indicated sufficient preparations made by the hospital prior to the systems introduction through thorough understudying of other implemented systems in other hospitals, the establishment of an Information Technology (IT) department, provision of infrastructure and network connections, and the training of staff. Simple random sampling as well as the purposive sampling under non-probability technique was the sampling method used. Descriptive statistical tools were employed to analysis the demographic characteristics of the respondents. Whereas regression analysis was used to assess the influence electronic health records system and quality healthcare: the case of Accra Medical Centre in the Tarkwa mines (Goldfields Ghana Limited).
