The Relationship between Financial Service Reforms and the Intervention of the World Bank: Insights From the 2000-2017 Period in the Ghanaian Context
type: item
description: This study sought to determine the role that the World Bank has played in the realization of public service reform in Ghana. The study embraced primary and secondary data to determine whether parallels could be drawn between the two sets of data; upon which generalizations and valid and reliable inferences about the subject under investigation could be made. Indeed, the results suggested that the World Bank has been successful in steering specific reforms such as improvements in balancing staff sizes, improvements in pay levels, improvements in retrenchment and redeployment policies, and improvements in training policies within Ghana’s public service. Similar to secondary data, the primary data results indicated that the World Bank has experienced problems such as insufficient attention to the local political context and economy, the politicization of public service reform, corruption and the presence of weak institutions, and a lack of commitment and political will. Hence, the need to curb these challenges cannot be overstated. From these results, this study proposes that the World Bank embraces a strategy constituting three interdependent themes. These themes include a public service reform that focuses on public-sector and government capacity, resilience and vulnerability, and employment and competitiveness. In so doing, it is predicted that the global body’s intervention in relation to Ghana’s public service reform might assure stability and sustainability in the near and far future.

A Consideration on the Relationship between Empowerment and Organizational Citizenship Behavior:Focusing on Domestic Studies inBusiness Administration Field
type: item
description: Empowerment is a representative preceding factor that promotes organizational citizenship behavior. It is also a variable that acts as a predictive factor in various ways in organizational behavior studies. In other words, the studies that’d been conducted were summarized systematically by setting two variables that had recently received a lot of attention in domestic business administration field. Also to help to understand the flow of studies, Table 1 was drawn from exchange theory and Table 2 is proposed through hierarchical classification. As a result, it was found that the studies showing that empowerment was influential as an independent variable were based on non-exchange theory and no studies to reveal the intervening variables had been performed. And few studies have been conducted to reveal the preceding factors that are influential at the organizational and individual levels among the studies showing that empowerment is an intervening variable and thus has an indirect impact. Based on this result, this study considered previous studies and proposed implications for future studies and future study directions.

type: item
description: Based in the Australian context, this case study has been motivated by observations that only a third of workforces feel engaged. The main aim of the report has been to advocate for the implementation of enterprise social networking as a feedback platform towards driving employee engagement and motivation. Imperative to highlight is that the target organization is L’oreal Australia Pty Limited. From the findings, major causes of employee disengagement and demotivation at the target firm include the culture of poor leadership style that fails to accommodate the other employees’ views, inconsistencies in feedback provision, a lack of people leadership, unrealistic workload, conflict, lack of development opportunities, job insecurity, lack of confidence in the company’s senior leadership, and the aspect of employees feeling under-valued. By implementing enterprise social networking as a feedback communication platform, perceived benefits that might accrue at L’oreal Australia Pty Limited include the achievement of a sense of personal value, workplace relationships, a sense of purpose and meaning, and a sense of belief. To avoid resistance to change, the senior leaders and other managers should be role models and walk the talk before allowing team members from the lower levels of the organization hierarchy to emulate them. Overall, an implementation of enterprise social networking in communicating feedback at L’oreal Australia Pty Limited is projected to steer employee engagement and motivation, translating further into improved company performance.

This paper proposes a twitter sentiment analysis that can spot the interest and opinion of people in regard to the products such as e-Commerce sites, network operators and social media. Feature for classification of the tweets as negative, neutral and positive that depends on views of people and the identification of accuracy by various algorithmic approaches. It also involves the emotional classification of tweets into joy, fear, sadness, disgust, anger, surprise and unknown. The word cloud has been identified for the usage of most repeated word.

type: item
description: Modified Erichsen cupping test is one of the currently used formability test, which evaluate the ability of sheet metal to be formed into useful components successfully. The formability test index is identified as one of the most important formability test results that could be used on a routine basis by industry for grading, selecting and sorting of incoming sheet metals for manufacturing of various components. In older Erichsen test, the results obtained were uncertain, as there was no control of the clamping force. The test consist of clamping a metal test piece under controlled pressure between retaining ring and die and pressing the test piece into the die by means of a penetrator having a spherical head, until the end point (fracture) is reached. The depth of penetration there by obtained is measured an Eserichsen index (JE). Practical ERICHSEN CUPPING TEST equipment have been repeated for different material specimens of different thickness using different lubricants like castor oil, lanthax grease and general multipurpose grease are found .it observed from the present experiment that in general the Erichsen number is influenced by the type of lubricant. The Erichen number increase with an increase in the thickness of the sheet metal.
