Survey on Sustainability Drivers in Ghana's Textile and Garment SMEs

Kweku Safo-Ankama's dataset contains 315 valid survey responses from small and medium-sized enterprises in Ghana's garment and textile sector. Data were gathered via simple random sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling. The study investigates the effects of sustainability challenges, material access, and economic constraints on sustainable practices.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between sustainability challenges and SME practices based on the survey constructs.
• Analyzing the perceived impact of limited material access on eco-friendly production in a specific region.
• Investigating the role of economic constraints in sustainability adoption within the textile manufacturing sector.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 315 valid survey responses.
• Data collection employed a quantitative approach with simple random sampling.
• Analysis was performed using a specific statistical method (PLS-SEM 4.0).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is limited to SMEs in the Western Region of Ghana, which may affect generalizability.
