This literature review investigates job stress, highlighting its prevalence as a critical issue for employees in various service sectors, such as healthcare, hospitality, banking, consumer, and courier services. The study sets out to accomplish two primary goals: firstly, to delineate the factors that contribute to job stress, and secondly, to evaluate the repercussions of job stress on employees. By examining insights from ten prior studies, we identify a comprehensive array of internal and external factors that intensify job stress. We further explore the influence of these stressors on vital outcomes, including turnover intentions, employee performance, and burnout. Our findings reveal that job stress significantly impacts employees' intentions to leave. Nonetheless, effectively managing job stress can foster positive outcomes for organizations. These insights underscore the critical need for management in the service sector to grasp the complex origins of job stress fully. Armed with this understanding, they can devise and implement strategies to reduce turnover intentions, bolstering overall organizational performance","PeriodicalId":475090,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business, Management and Economics","volume":"13 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141118446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research employs a panel data set from 2008 to 2020 to examine how board size, ownership structure, board independence, capital adequacy ratio, audit committee effectiveness, board gender diversity, and overall corporate governance score affect ROA and ROE for banks. These relationships are analyzed using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression within the framework of panel data analysis. Results indicate that ROA is positively related to board size, board independence, audit committee, and Board gender diversity. Also, ROE is positively influenced by companies’ ownership structure, capital adequacy ratio, audit committee effectiveness, and overall corporate employment governance rating. However, there is a significant negative correlation between ROE and women’s representation or board gender diversity. Also, another key finding is that both Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) are significantly affected by debt and debt-to-equity ratios. This indicates that banks borrowing more have reduced profitability, underlining the need for a well-managed capital structure and no over-reliance on loans. This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between corporate governance and performance in the banking sector of Ghana, emphasizing that high-quality governance systems can improve and enhance financial performance. The insight gained from this analysis shows that Banks should aim towards good corporate governance practices such as; maintaining proper board size, promoting greater board independence, ensuring efficient audit procedures, and encouraging more gender diversity to enhance profitability. The outcomes also emphasized a well-built base of capital and concentrated ownership, enabling better financial results.The outcomes of this research are useful to Ghanaian policymakers, regulators, and bank executives who view the need for strong corporate governance environments to buttress the stability and growth of the banking sector.","PeriodicalId":475090,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business, Management and Economics","volume":" 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140994592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quality search is perhaps the most critical consumer trend in recent years because consumers are now more demanding than ever. Customers have diverse options in an era of rapid global change, often relying on brand names for complex financial services. Hence, it becomes imperative to delve into the challenges surrounding quality service delivery and customer satisfaction. A mixed methods approach was adopted, and involved 340 bank customers who attended a questionnaire and 20 customers and bank staff who participated in in-depth interviews. . The study found that the majority (43.8%) of customers were generally satisfied with the services at the bank. The study also found that tangibility and assurance were the service quality dimensions that highly influenced customer satisfaction perception at Stanbic Bank. Tangibility had a positive influence on customer satisfaction (β=0.153), and a p-value (0.028) less than the selected level of significance (0.05), an indication of the influence of tangibility on customer satisfaction. The study concluded that customer satisfaction and loyalty depended on the quality of services the bank provided. At the same time, the study's practical implications suggest that the bank should focus on improving reliability, responsiveness, and empathy to enhance customer satisfaction.

The study utilised secondary panel data extracted from the published financial statements of these banks.

Additionally, firms' age, size, and liquidity were control variables. The random effect technique was used for analysis, employing Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Autoregressive methods. The results indicated a positive and significant relationship between total debt to total assets, return on assets and equity. Furthermore, firms' age positively and significantly impacted the return on assets and return on equity in both models. Interestingly, the study found a negative effect of firms' liquidity on return on assets in model one, while the size of the firms had no impact on bank performance. Policymakers can encourage financial institutions to provide accessible and affordable lending options to businesses, enabling them to leverage debt effectively.
