    The Impact Of Enterprise Learning On Enterprise Performance: The Mediating Role Of Enterprise Innovation And The Moderating Influence Of Enterprise Culture In Small And Medium-Scale Enterprises (Smes) In Kumasi
    (2023-11) KWARTENG, Samuel
    The proliferation of Small and Medium-Scale Enterprises in developing or developed countries is very important because they contribute immensely to the economic development of the countries. In developed or high income countries, SMEs have contributed to over 50% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and given more than 60% of all employment. From the study, we deduced that enterprise learning affects firm’s performance positively. Enterprise learning is seen as a key component in defining a firm’s superior performance and long-term competitive advantage. This component promotes the development of enterprise competencies that are either valued by customers or difficult to imitate, adding to the firm's competitive edge. Moreover, enterprise learning also directly impacts enterprise innovation. Enterprise learning may help businesses introduce new knowledge, advance their knowledge and expertise, and improve their performance. Enterprise innovation partially mediates the relationship between enterprise learning and enterprise performance from the study. Furthermore, enterprise culture positively moderates the relationship between enterprise innovation and enterprise performance. The culture of an enterprise creates an environment that is conducive for innovation. Enterprise culture directly affects innovation since workers are free to come up with new ideas which improve performance of enterprises. Lastly, the study employed a quantitative research method. The objectives for the study were achieved using a cross-sectional survey design. The respondents were selected using random sampling technique. The study utilized Hay’s (2017) model 3 statistical analysis using SPSS. All the latent variables were measured on a 5-point likert scale, with 1 being strongly disagree to 5 being strongly agree.

This study used a descriptive survey because it adopted the use of questionnaires. The sample size for the survey was 438 population of masters’ students of AAMUSTED in Kumasi Ashanti. The technique was based on purposive sampling. The study data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), analysis such as exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, discriminant validity and reliability analysis from Cronbach Alpha was performed using SPSS (version 23) and Amos (version 23). Based on the hypothesis, the findings illustrated that the indirect effect of Green perceived value through green satisfaction on green loyalty was proved significant and the moderating variable green trust was supported to be significant in the relationship between green satisfaction and green loyalty. The study also contributed to Theory of Planned Behavior. The study broadly looked at the green concepts solely on electrical appliances consumers which was keenly limited in scope. Since green perceived value was proved to be statistically significant, it is recommended that management must invest in intensive advertisement of green products and it is usefulness in other to influence consumer’s purchasing power of green product. Management should not just sell products that are environmentally friendly but must also be practical towards it in community they may be situated in. For instance, Management could practice corporate social responsibility that would be geared towards green goals. The value of this study focused on green perceived value, green satisfaction as a mediator and green trust as a moderator and green loyalty. The uniqueness of this study is the mediating and moderating variables introduced.

    (2023-09) TAWIAH, Rhoda Animah
    This study investigated the mediation effect of employee commitment on time management behavior and job performance. The study was conducted at three commercial banks known as Absa, Ecobank and UBA in Kumasi- Ghana. One hundred (100) employees from UBA, Absa, and Ecobank made up the study's population. By stratified sampling, the three (3) banks were put into sub groups and a simple random approach was used in selecting an approximate 27 employees from each of the three banks. As a result, the data analysis of 80 responders was highlighted. Structural Equation Model (SEM) from Amos (version 23) was used for the data analysis. The study adopted a descriptive survey and analysis such as exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, discriminant validity and reliability analysis from Cronbach Alpha was estimated using SPSS (version 23) and Amos (version 23).From the hypothesis, the findings revealed that time management behaviour has a direct effect on job performance and employee commitment. The study also found out that employee commitment has no significant effect on job performance and the mediating effect of employee commitment on time management behavior and job performance was insignificant. The results indicate that organisations should implement a suitable time management plan to deal with employees' time in order to assist them develop their time management skills, which would eventually help predict greater effectiveness in their job performance. The study found that there was no mediating effect between employee time management behaviour and job performance. As a result, future research should explore the role of other variables that may mediate the relationship between time management behavior and job performance.
