An Investigation of Israeli and Ghanain Leadership Styles With Regards to Pleasure, Possessions, Power and Prestige

The purpose of this study is to discover causes of corruption in Ghana and to implement methods to help reduce underdevelopment in the country caused by corruption. The research provides a comparative analysis of the leadership styles of Israeli Kings and Ghanaian presidents. The project includes a survey of Ghanaian citizens to determine people's views on the extent of corruption in Ghana.

The dissertation also shows how Theology of Work seminars being presented in Ghana can contribute to the reduction of corruption in the workplace and in leadership. Work is shown as a context in which one finds God, even as the church finds God as they worship. A proper understanding of work and leadership seen in relation to God produces opportunity for people to glorify God in their everyday lives. The project describes four negative characteristics that produce corruption in the workplace and in leadership: the lust for pleasure, the desire for illegal possession, the abuse of power, and the obsessive pursuit of prestige.
