The Agricultural sector plays an important role in underpinning the economic development of a country. The study attempts to evaluate job satisfaction of workers in different agricultural organizations in the country. The focus of the study is the relative importance of job satisfaction factors and their impacts on the overall job satisfaction of employees. It also attempts to measure the impacts of the agricultural organization type, policies and culture on the attitudes towards job satisfaction. It is instructive to note that the overall job satisfaction of the agricultural sector is at unimpressive level. The study revealed that salary fringe benefits, motivation packages, accessibility to credits/loans and co-worker relation and availability of right tools to work with were most important factors contributing to job satisfaction. This paper highlighted some of these problems and presented a picture of level of job satisfaction among employees of agricultural sector and attempts to present a comprehensive diagnosis of job satisfaction indices of agricultural sector, the factors causing the dissatisfaction and suggestions to improve them. The study further revealed that job security, recognition and reward, compensation, salary and workers opinion were key factors to be considered by employers in improving job satisfaction of agricultural workers in Ghana.

The main objective of this study is to test and examine the relationship between specific firm characteristics in Egypt and the level of risk disclosure in the annual reports of Egyptian firms listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange. This study uses a list of risk keywords to determine the differences in the level of risk disclosure between firms in different sectors. The sample includes 49 non-financial firms listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010. Statistical analysis is implemented using a multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that firm size is significantly positive (in all the three years) with the level of risk disclosure. Industry type variable (which divided to: industries, cement, construction, petrochemicals and services), is found being insignificantly associated with the level of risk information disclosed in the annual reports for all the three years. However, leverage is found being insignificantly associated with the level of risk information disclosed in the annual reports for all the three years.
