Abstract

This review explores the significant influence of workplace culture on employee engagement, retention, and organisational performance within Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions in Ghana. It highlights the critical gaps in existing literature regarding leadership styles, diversity, and inclusion, which are essential for understanding the dynamics of workplace culture in TVET settings. The paper emphasises that a positive workplace culture is vital for enhancing employee engagement and retention, ultimately leading to improved institutional effectiveness. The findings indicate that tailored engagement initiatives for TVET staff are lacking, contributing to high turnover rates. Career development and reward systems are identified as crucial elements for enhancing employee value propositions. Furthermore, a strong organisational culture is shown to significantly impact employee satisfaction and motivation, with recognition and career development being key drivers. The promotion of diversity and inclusion within TVET workplaces is also discussed as a means to boost employee morale and foster innovation by valuing diverse perspectives. The paper underscores the necessity for TVET institutions to actively cultivate a positive workplace culture, as a negative culture can lead to disengagement and diminished organisational performance. Additionally, it points out the inadequacies in current feedback mechanisms and the need for tailored approaches to employee engagement that consider specific motivational factors across demographics. Overall, this review serves as a call to action for further research into the specific cultural elements that influence employee engagement and retention in TVET institutions, aiming to enhance overall organisational effectiveness.
