Data Matters: Health Statistics Can Empower Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice
(The journal of Adventist Education, 2021) Daniel Ganu; Josephine Ganu; Susan M. Baker
Seventh-day Adventist educators worldwide get excited about pedagogies that increase students’ knowledge skills and influence their attitudes and beliefs. Taylor asserts that one of the defining characteristics of Seventh-day Adventist education is commitment to excellence, which promotes whole-person development. This wholistic development is constructed when strong linkages are forged between knowledge and practice,1 supported by positive attitudes and beliefs.
In Search of an Ideal Christian Follower in Modern Organizations
(Journal of Biblical Integration in Business (JBIB), 2023) Josephine Ganu; Marie Anne Razafiarivony
This paper offers fresh ways of thinking and perceiving the importance of effective followership in the context of modern organizations and Christian discipleship. It reviews the extant literature on the concept of followership to advance the importance of the follower role in modern organizations. Specifically, we examine the meaning of followership in modern organizations and the role and qualities of an ideal follower. We argue that followership is a self-conscious choice by the follower to actively partner with the leader to advance the organizational mission and objectives. We also discuss how Christian workers can blend biblical discipleship and organizational followership in the workplace to reflect their calling as true disciples and, in the process, benefit the organization. We propose a model for the authentic Christian follower, which can be further explored.
Moral Courage: The Essence of Ethical Leadership and Followership
(Journal of appliec christian leadership, Andrews University, 2018-01-10) Josephine Ganu
Most discussions on ethical leadership emphasize the importance of personal integrity, visible role modeling, and actual enforcement of ethical behaviors in the workplace. Nonetheless, organizational leaders and followers alike regularly encounter issues and pressure that require not only ethical leadership but also moral courage. Accordingly, this study used a mixed method to examine typical ethical situations encountered by organizational members in the workplace, the extent to which employees can exercise courage, and the factors that impede their moral actions. the results show that the majority of organizational members are unable to translate their moral beliefs and judgment into real moral action in the workplace. Organizations must, therefore, seek ways and means of creating and supporting moral courage
The Convergence of Organizational Culture, Structure and Human Capital Performance: A Conceptual Analysis
(Archives of Business Research, 2018-05-25) Williams Kwasi Peprah; Josephine Ganu
There is no doubt that talented employees are the backbone of every organizational success. An organization can have an advantage over its competitors by using better technology, lower costs, more innovative products, etc. However, these advantages do not just happen by themselves; it takes talents within the organization to create, implement and sustain competitive advantages. Thus, the long-term success of any organization ultimately depends on maximizing the effectiveness of employees in accomplishing organizational goals. The key to the desired results is creating a favorable context within which employees must operate. Hence, organizational structure and culture are key to employees’ effectiveness. Therefore, using literature review method, this conceptual paper examined the roles of organizational culture and organizational structure in maximizing human capital performance. Further, this article recommends research propositions based on a framework for empirical examination of the relationships and impact of organizational culture and structure on human capital performance and sustainable competitive advantage.
