- ItemQuantitative account of the business milieu and interplay with organismic variables based on multi-site empirical studies in Uganda, East Africa: accepted and approved for oral presentation at the 2015 Fall Global Mindset on Leadership and Management Conference, September 11-13, Los Angeles, California, USA.(2015) Sumil, Novembrieta; Sumil, Manuel; Kibuuka, Muhammad; Ssekajugo, DerickThe business milieu in terms of business management, conditions, practices and their interactions with certain organismic variables were determined through a meta-analysis of evidence-based data sorted out from 153 studies conducted in these selected business sectors: small and medium enterprises, local private and public banks, non traditional export enterprises, multinational companies, savings and credit cooperatives, telecommunication companies, public and private organizations and microfinance institutions in Central and Eastern Uganda. The new analyses revealed an overall picture of the business milieu in three aspects: (1) business management (from highest to lowest in rank: managerial skills, internal control system, credit management, management accounting, working capital management and corporate governance monitoring mechanisms); (2) business conditions from highest to lowest in rank: business expansion/growth of the business, innovation, business success, financial sustainability of microfinance institutions, business competitiveness, employee productivity, business behavior, employees’ performance, financial sustainability of savings and credit cooperatives and internationalization: (3) business practices such as accounting quality and auditing standards compliance. A correlation profile data between the business milieu dimensions displayed significant relationships while the organismic variables proved its efficacy with the business milieu constructs. Therefore, an optimistic mood of viable commercial market in Uganda forecasted promotion of proactive investment management efforts
- ItemRemunerations and Productivity of Civil Servants in Selected Institutions of the Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) in Kampala, Uganda(Society for Promoting International Research and Innovation(SPIRI), 2014) Ssekajugo, Derick; Kasenene, Edris Serugo Dr.Efforts to improve economic growth and reduce poverty in Countries of the South- Uganda inclusive for the realization of the MDGs have brought into focus the need for capable, accountable, effective and efficient civil servants. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of remunerations on productivity of civil servants in selected institutions of JLOS in Kampala, Uganda. The descriptive correlation design was employed. 20 respondents formed the sample size of the study and vigilantly redesigned standardized questionnaire was used. Descriptive and inferential data analyses were done. The findings indicated a positive association (r = 0.499) between the cause and effect variable and a causal relationship through regression analysis was also ascertained (R2 = 24.9). This meant that remunerations had impact on the productivity of civil servants in the JLOS. Recommendations were made to the effect that there was a need for a reconsideration of incentives given to employees and also a consideration of all other determinants of productivity of civil servants in the JLOS.
- ItemWorking conditions as correlates of employee productivity in selected multinational companies (MNCS) in central Uganda(Society for Promoting International Research and Innovation(SPIRI), 2013) Ssekajugo, DerickThis paper looked at the correlation between working conditions and employee productivity in selected MNCs in Central Uganda. The sample size of 210 respondents from the population of 444 respondents was used for this study and the retrospective-prospective, descriptive comparative and descriptive correlation strategies were employed. Standardized and non-standardized questionnaires formed the main tools of data collection and the analysis was done using frequency count, mean, Pearson Product Correlation Coefficient and regression analysis. The findings demonstrated the following; the level of working conditions was satisfactory with an average mean of 2.63; an average of 8 hours of work per day while material productivity ranged from 448 to 625 units; significant correlation between working conditions and employee productivity while working conditions contributed close to 15% variance in level of employee productivity. Recommendations for adoption of stringent measures to scrutinize the operations of MNCs were made.
- ItemWorkplace environment in selected multinational companies (MNCS) in Kampala, Uganda.(Society for Promoting International Research and Innovation (SPIRI), 2012) Ssekajugo, DerickThe study investigated the levels of workplace environment in selected MNCs operating in Central Uganda under the dimensions: (1) workplace arrangement; (2) attitudinal atmosphere; (3) work conditions and (4) manager’s/supervisor’s practices. The ex post facto/retrospective-prospective and descriptive strategies were employed. Data were analyzed using summary statistics (i.e. mean and rank by construct).The findings revealed that managers’/supervisors’ practices were ranked one while work conditions was ranked last from among the 4 constructs on level of workplace environment. The overall mean illustrated a satisfactory level of workplace environment although this was not the highest level. The null hypothesis of no significant differences in the level of workplace environment among MNCs was rejected. Inferences were made that MNCs in Central Uganda had differing workplace environment and that such environment had impact on the operations of MNCs thus authenticating the Contingency theory by Fiedler (1964). It was recommended that there was need to elevate the level of workplace environment.
