Abstract

The study utilized a descriptive research design and employed the quantitative approach. The target population comprised employees of the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. Using the convenient sampling approach, 223 employees were selected for the study, and data collection was done through a survey questionnaire. The Pearson Chi-Square test was used to test for the association between the study variables.
