Abstract : A study is reported of the variations in organizational commitment and job satisfaction, as related to subsequent turnover in a sample of recently-employed psychiatric technician trainees. A longitudinal study was made across a 10 1/2 month period, with attitude measures collected at four points in time. For this sample, job satisfaction measures appeared better able to differentiate future stayers from leavers in the earliest phase of the study. With the passage of time, organizational commitment measures proved to be a better predictor of turnover, and job satisfaction failed to predict turnover. The findings are discussed in the light of other related studies, and possible explanations are examined. (Modified author abstract)

What is engagement

Purpose- This paper explored the link between employee engagement, work environment, and job satisfaction on organizational commitment and employee performance in Ghana's Banking sector considering moderated-mediated interaction.
Design/Methodology- Data were obtained from seven hundred and twenty (720) employees from selected financial banks in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana through simple random probability sampling. However, seven hundred (700) responses were deemed accurate and therefore used in the analysis. In the analytical process, Weighted Partial Least Squares (WPLS) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were employed.
Findings- From the findings, the studied data for both WPLS-SEM and PLS-SEM models met internal consistency reliability, convergent, and discriminant validity. Also, organizational commitment fully mediated the link between work environment and employee performance in the WPLS-SEM model compared to PLS-SEM with partial mediation. It was statistically significant at p<0.01.
Practical Implications- Based on the findings, it’s recommended that organizations and managers focus on developing the workers' workplace environment in numerous ways. This should entail valuing workers' contributions, communicating the company's progress and achievement to workers, thus instilling ownership in workers, providing them with a work-life balance, providing the requisite knowledge and tools for successful production, and providing a stable atmosphere. The workplace of all these factors could increase workers' morale and lead to increased productivity.

Purpose- Marketers want to know the best advertisement medium which can make their advertising more effective. This study seeks to find a linkage between television advertisement, radio advertisement, newspaper advertisement, and outdoor advertisement towards customers’ purchase decisions in Ghana.
Design/Methodology- Using University students in Ghana as a population, the study employed a simple random sampling approach and collected data from University students in UCC and KNUST. Seven hundred and fifty (750) responses were gathered from participants, but only seven hundred and thirty-two (732) responses were deemed suitable and were adopted to justify the proposed relationships. Data were analyzed using partial least squared built on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)
Findings- The findings revealed that television advertisement has the greatest impact on customer purchase decision and was statistically significant at p< 0.01.
Practical Implications- This finding provides helpful suggestions for advertising professionals, market researchers, existing and emerging organizations to see television advertisements as an opportunity to increase awareness of goods and services as it tends to appeal to viewers’ visual and sound senses, influencing customers’ purchasing decisions and increasing sales of goods and services.

Employee engagement affects the Employer Commitment which has influence on the expression desired by someone in relation to their professional attitude, connecting the work with personal life for phychological, cognitive, emotional, and their personal feelings as a whole, so that employees engagement towards a company will drive the employees’ performance. This is proved by the previous studies, but they have not included individual factors as the force that forms employee engagement or organizational commitment, specifically because seeing how the consequences of employee engagement produced. In this study, the authors consider the influence of individual factors towards organizational commitment mediated by employee engagement, which distinguishes this study from the previous ones. The objectives of this study are: first, to discover how individual factors affect employee engagement; second, to find out how employee engagement affects Organizational Commitment of employees; Third, to discover how individual factors affect organizational commitment. This study is conducted among the respondents all of whom are employees within MICE industry in Indonesia using questionnaire. Data analysis in was performed this study using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The results of this study show that high individual factors will form high employee engagement, high employee engagement will form high organizational commitment, and high individual factors will form high organizational commitment. In this study, it is found that there is an influence of individual factors towards organizational commitment mediated by employee engagement.

Many employers and researchers across the globe have, over the years, adopted different approaches that can ensure employees' commitment to an organization. In this study, we seek to find a linkage between Job Autonomy, Organizational Learning, and Work Environment towards Organizational Commitment of public sector employees in Ghana. Data were obtained from three hundred and thirty (330) employees of five (5) Metropolitan, Municipal and Districts Assemblies (MMDAs) in the Ashanti Region of Ghana through the use of simple random probability sampling. However, three hundred and fifteen (315) accurate responses were used in the analysis due to incomplete and missing figures. Data were analyzed using partial least squared based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings revealed that organizational learning has the greatest outcome on organizational commitment and was statistically significant at p< 0.05. This finding provides useful suggestions for institutions, employers, and policymakers to promote organizational learning among employees through in-service trainings, knowledge distribution, and group behavior. The result can serve as a practical tool to boost organizational commitment towards achieving organizational goals.

MicroRNA (miRNA) is considered as a potential biomarker in the diagnosis of cancer. Thus, a new diagnostic technique with high sensitivity and selectivity is crucial for miRNA detection in clinical testing. Herein, we presented a sensing platform based on CRISPR/Cas12a and isothermal exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) to realize ultrasensitive analysis of miRNA. MiRNA-27a (miR-27a) was chosen as a model target. In this sensing platform, a miR-27a-triggered cascade EXPAR process was introduced to achieve a mass of activators. The resultant activators could hybrid specifically with crRNA of CRISPR/Cas12a system, triggering the multiple-turnover trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a for achieving signal amplification. The sensing platform rendered a wide detection (ranging from 100 aM to 10 nM) and a low limit of detection (90 aM). In particular, this strategy achieved ultrasensitive detection of the other microRNA biomarkers such as let-7a and miR-141 by the flexible design of the region of template, which demonstrated the universal detection ability. Furthermore, an excellent selectivity feature was obtained by the discrimination of microRNA family members and base mismatch analysis. The proposed sensing platform also was able to assess miR-27a levels in breast cancer cell and serum sample, revealing a promising application in clinical molecular diagnostics.
