“…A case of special importance in practice is stationary autoregression (Phillips 1995a). Thirdly, FMOLS is hyper-consistent with a convergence rate that exceeds 0(T) for a unit root in autoregression (Brooks 1999). Lastly, the normal and mixed normal limit theory for the FM model helps with simple inference.…”

This study examines the intricate relationship between natural resource abundance, with a specific focus on oil production, and its impact on economic growth in Ghana. Through the application of the robust Fully Modified OLS methodology and using data spanned from 1960–2021 the research underscores the essential inclusion of oil as a significant variable in comprehending economic growth dynamics. Contrary to traditional resource curse theories, the study unveils a positive nexus between oil production and economic growth, particularly within a comprehensive variable framework. This finding challenges simplistic resource curse notions and underscores the need for a holistic economic perspective. Overall, the results show that the impact of oil production on economic growth is sensitive to the inclusion or exclusion of other variables in the model. In Model 1, where all variables are included, oil production has a significant positive (0.0112**) impact on growth. Ghana’s success in avoiding the resource curse is attributed to a multifaceted strategy encompassing diversified economic approaches, transparent governance, and responsible oil revenue management. Importantly, the inclusion of oil as a pivotal variable is well-justified by its tangible contributions to economic growth. The observed positive impacts emphasize the benefits of harnessing oil resources while maintaining a holistic view of the broader economic context. Looking ahead, the insights inform policymakers in resource-rich nations, illustrating how strategic resource management—illustrated by oil—can drive resilient and comprehensive economic growth. Ghana’s experience serves as a compelling template for informed policy decisions, offering valuable lessons for achieving sustainable prosperity.

“…Employees with work-competitive behavior have a desire to do better at organizational tasks than their co-workers (Wang, Wang & Liu 2018). Such employees are motivated to ensuring that work tasks assigned to them are completed within the required time compared to their workmates (Bean 2021). In addition, these employees make sure that the work done is excellent compared to their workmates (Siegling, Ng-Knight & Petrides 2019).…”

“…However, when in their effort to achieve organizational goals, employees can be in a state of constant fear and tension, which can contribute to reduced productivity and thus compromise organizational performance (Sengke 2015).One of characteristics of employees with competitive value culture is their ambitiousness (Berdahl et al 2018). Employee ambitiousness has been considered necessary for improving organizational performance (Bean 2021;Siegling et al 2019). However, Wang et al (2018) also observed that mixed results in earlier research where some indicated a positive significant influence of employees' competitive culture on organizational performance while other results indicated a negative significant influence and other results indicated no significant influence.…”

This study conducted under strategy management sought to examine the influence of competitiveness within masculinity-femininity cultural dimension on performance of multinational corporations (MNCs) in Uganda. Specifically, it focused on aspects of competitiveness within the masculinity-femininity cultural dimension that included aggressiveness and materialism. The interest in this study was aroused because of MNCs performance challenges such as struggling to maintain businesses acumen, market share, growth and closure of businesses. This study adopted a cross-sectional research design using a quantitative approach and it involved 50 participants who responded to statements in a questionnaire. A simple regression analysis and a multiple-regression analysis were conducted to assess the influence investigated in this study. Results revealed that competitiveness within masculinity-femininity cultural dimension that included both aggressiveness and materialism had a significant positive influence on performance of MNCs in Uganda. In particular, low levels work aggressiveness and work materialism among MNCs' employees contributed to the low levels of performance of MNCs in Uganda. The study recommends MNCs to align their strategic vision and mission towards competitiveness to instilling employee work aggressiveness and materialism toward achieving the objectives of the MNCs.
