One hundred and eighty respondents consisting of headteachers and teachers were selected for the study. The leaders responded to a questionnaire concerning their personality traits whiles subordinates rated the ethical behavior of their leaders. The researcher adopted a descriptive cross sectional survey design and data collected was analyzed using multiple regression analysis and independent sample t-test. The study found out that, personality traits such as conscientiousness and extraversion had a significant positive effect on ethical leadership behavior after controlling for all variables.
Furthermore, the study also revealed that leader conscientiousness accounts for the most variance in ethical leadership behavior. Also, there was no significant difference in ethical leadership due to the gender of leaders. The study further recommends among other things the need to organize leadership training programs that concentrates on training the right personality traits into leaders as it would affect their behavior towards the overall success. In addition to this, the Ghana Education Service should assess the personality traits of headteachers before they apply for headships positions.

It further sought to evaluate the spatial coverage for each fire station under predefined sustainable response times. Information on fire stations and incidents, access to sources of water and settlements were purposively obtained and visualized in Arc Map 10.6 with the multiple buffer tools. GIS web application was developed to integrate reporters and fire stations within the AMA for an efficient and effective response to emergency cases related to fire outbreaks. Results suggest that GIS application is essential to fire management as it significantly improved response time to 15 minutes, reducing causalities as well as damaged properties if the strategy is adopted. Results proved a response time of 15 minutes is feasible in the study area if the proposed strategy is adopted. The study presents this management system as one that could be easily be deployed to other...
