Purpose – This study aims to examine the mediating role of resource capacity on the effect of administrative
capacity on local level development.
Design/methodology/approach – Data is obtained from three Metropolitan, Municipal and District
Assemblies (MMDAs) in the Central Region of Ghana using a survey. A structural equation modelling that
includes a formatively measured construct (administrative capacity) is used in the analyses.
Findings – Leadership, human resource management, financial resource management, technical and adaptive
capacities are supported as formative constructs of administrative capacity. More so, it is established that
administrative capacity has an effect on resource capacity. Also, administrative capacity and resource capacity
each has an effect on local level development. The mediation analysis shows that resource capacity mediates
the effect administrative capacity has on local level development.
Practical implications – Administrative capacity is a necessity for local governments as enhancing it
together with the resource capacity of MMDAs are vital if local level development is to be achieved. In this
regard, administrative and resource capacities of local governments must be pursued by both the central
government and decentralised governments for the latter to achieve its primary mandate.
Originality/value – To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to empirically ascertain leadership,
human resource management, financial resource management, technical and adaptive capacities as the
dimensions of administrative capacity using a structural equation model. Given that there is a lack of
consensus on the dimensions of administrative capacity, this study contributes significantly to the discourse.
The study also highlights the need to pursue and enhance administrative and resource capacities for local level
development.
