Environmental Sustainability Practices and Commitment in Ghanaian Hotels: A Comprehensive Review | Chapter 8 | Geography, Earth Science and Environment: Research Highlights Vol. 10

Ghana has witnessed substantial investment in its hotel business from both domestic and foreign enterprises. However, the environmental impact of the industry is exacerbated by the availability of additional amenities such as restaurants, nightclubs, shopping malls, swimming pools, parking lots, and golf courses, all of which contribute to indirect and induced environmental effects. Environmental initiatives and conversations have raised environmental sustainability consciousness among hotel consumers, prompting them to demand that the products and services they use be eco-friendly. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the commitment of hotels in Ghana to environmental sustainability. This study is a comprehensive review using online research journal websites online research journal websites, such as the PubMed database, Academic Library, and Google Scholar, as well as other in-context articles. This study focused on understanding environmental sustainability and examining its adoption and the level of commitment among hotels in Ghana. Hotel businesses engage in environmental management by developing environmental policies, green procurement, adhering to environmental legislation, environmental auditing, ecolabelling and certification, waste management and recycling, water and energy conservation, environmental education, pollution prevention, responsible marketing practices, and community support. Hotel managers are aware of the environmental issues that the tourism industry faces. They see their engagement in environmental management strategies as helping to reduce costs through operational efficiency. To further promote sustainability, hotels in Ghana should encourage energy-efficient equipment, renewable energy sources, and water-saving technologies. Additionally, educating employees about sustainable practices and involving visitors in environmental efforts can also help hotels improve their environmental responsibilities.

Postgraduate Supervision: Practical Handbook | Book Publisher International

 Postgraduate supervision is not as simple as people thought it to be. It is a complex field and process. The complexity in postgraduate supervision is related to educational background, intellectual ability, technical skills, ethnicity, cultural, economic, and political factors as well as infrastructure, favourable environment for research/supervision and funding. It demands commitment, expertise, and adequate knowledge on the part of the supervisor. The student must be focused, willing to learn new things, be dedicated to quality scientific work and producing reliable results. The supervision of postgraduate students is a process, and the process begins with the selection of postgraduate students including how the research would be done. The process of selecting masters, and doctoral students for the postgraduate programmes is important to ensure that the students have the necessary skills and tools to complete the chosen postgraduate programme or research. The selection should be guided by departmental, faculty and institutional policies, and prospective students should be told of the academic requirements, commitment of the students, duration of each programme, discipline, and intellectual ability and autonomy to be able to successfully complete the programme. This book examined various aspects of postgraduate supervision that would be useful to supervisors especially new supervisors in the field, postgraduate students, university administrators and government as well as research institutes or centres. Indeed, it is a practical handbook that would enhance effective supervision and significantly reduce dropout rates among postgraduate students in our universities. It would equally allow the supervisors and students to appreciate their respective roles, handle conflicts and achieve their goals.

Organizational Justice and Commitment to Work in the Nigerian Public Sector | Chapter 4 | New Ideas Concerning Science and Technology Vol. 7

Within the context of equity and social exchange theories, the aim of this study is to see how perceived organisational inequality affects public servants' willingness to work. The survey study design was used to collect factual data that are observable and quantifiable by administering the questionnaire during a day sensitization programme organised for firefighters in Lagos State on the subject of "Combating Fire Disaster" on Monday, June 26th, 2017. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to evaluate the results. For this analysis, four hypotheses were created. At the 0.05 level of significance, the reported hypotheses were evaluated using Chi-Square and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. We discovered that employees of the public sector's commitment to perform on assigned duties and obligations is influenced by their perceptions of injustice. In a nutshell, the perception of inequality is one of the most powerful factors influencing engagement in both public and private organisations. Managers should ensure that workers experience justice in policy development processes as well as in policy execution as they continue to perform their duties in the organisation, according to this report. They should also discuss incentive systems and procedures, as well as performance management and the employee-manager relationship.
