- ItemAdministrative Behaviour and Institutional Efficiency in Selected Universities in Central Uganda(Academic Affairs Directorate, Kampala International University (KIU), Uganda, East Africa Institute for Social Research, KIU, 2017-08) Nakimuli, Amina; Sumil, Novembrieta; Kibuuka, Muhammad; Mwebesa, Edson; Byabashaija, Deusdedit; Bamaiyi, PwavenoTechnical competences of administrators are certainly necessary, albeit they may not be sufficient for efficiency in educational institutions. The administrator’s behaviour is also vital for achieving efficiency thus educational institutions have prepared their numerous and capable specialists and professionals with the necessary skills for efficient and effective higher education administration. This study therefore was conceptualized to shed light to this contention. The association between administrative behaviour and institutional efficiency was empirically investigated employing the ex-post facto, descriptive correlation research designs. One hundred ninety five administrators from two higher education institutions were selected through purposive and systematic random sampling. Standardized and contextualized questionnaires tested for reliability and validity were used as research instruments. Quantitative data analyses were done using the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. The findings of the study indicated that the variables of administrative behaviour and institutional efficiency were significantly correlated. Within the context of this finding, administrators of the universities understudy should endeavour to enrich their administrative skills through leadership, management and administrative courses to cope with the managerial challenges hovering the higher education system. Effective administrators must conduct themselves appropriately and must be accountable for their actions and expectations. The ability to deal effectively with other people and accomplish work through others would always be a fundamental ingredient in the administrative process.
- ItemBenchmarking as a Component of Governance in Greater Bushenyi Districts, Western Uganda;approved for oral presentation: Bugema International Multi-Disciplinary Conference, September 28-29, 201(Kampala International University, 2015) Byabashaija, Deusdedit; Sumil, Novembrieta; Nakimuli, Amina; Matovu, SwalehThis investigation examined the relationship between benchmarking and human resource recruitment process (HRRP) of Greater Bushenyi Districts Local Government (GBDLG). The study was anchored on the institutional theory developed by Scott (2004). This theory is relevant to the conference theme, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in that it highlighted one component of MDGs which is governance. Institutional theorists assert that the institutional environment can strongly influence the development of formal structures in any organization for good governance. Using the mixed explanatory method (quantitative and qualitative), a researcher generated questionnaire and an interview schedule were used to gather data from 377 participants out of 6,488 target population. The contribution of benchmarking to human resource recruitment process was satisfactory. It was concluded that benchmarking positively and significantly influences HRRP for good governance. For countries, to survive in this competitive world, benchmarking must be practiced as a must so that they can be able to borrow a leaf from the best practices of other countries for good governance.
