    Fostering Entrepreneurial Intentions among University Students in Ghana: Proposing a Conceptual Framework
    (East African Journal of Education and Social Sciences, 2021-05) Stephen Arthur, PhD; Josephine Ganu, PhD; Abdulai Issaka
    The positive effect of students' exposure to entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship intention is well established in extant literature. Ghana is an example of an emerging country that has embraced entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial education to curb unemployment levels, especially among university graduates. However, countless university graduates especially in Ghana prefer seeking non-existent jobs rather than establishing their businesses. Therefore, this paper proposes a conceptual framework that highlights entrepreneurial competencies, social support, and business opportunities as essential factors that can potentially enhance the entrepreneurial intentions of university students, particularly fresh graduates. Specifically, we offer three propositions with the anticipation of generating fresh research interest for future studies in entrepreneurial intentions among university graduates. Understanding these driving forces leading to entrepreneurial intentions among young graduates is critical for effective entrepreneurship education and self-employment in Ghana and beyond

    The Role of Human Capital Management in Enhancing Service Delivery in Organizations
    (European Journal of Business and Management, 2018) Abdulai Issaka; Josephine Ganu, PhD; Stephen Arthur
    Services have become a very dominant sector in most parts of the World and contribute more to the GDPs of countries than tangible products manufactured. Research in the services sector has mostly not been multidisciplinary even though to understand the management of services adequately needed a multi-dimensional approach. There is, therefore, an agitation for a lot of research work that cut across disciplines regarding the understanding of the service sector. Even though there is the existence of a lot of studies on human capital and organizational success, none of these studies focused its attention on how human capital can correctly play a role in the enhancement of service delivery in organizations. It is in this light that this paper looked at the role human capital could play in enhancing service delivery in organizations. This paper has practical implications for organizations who are committed to delivery competitive service.
