- ItemConflict management styles and work performance of academic staff in private universities in Kampala city, Uganda: presented at the Canadian International Conference on Advances in Computer Science, Humanities and Education, April 1-2, 2015, Dubai, UAE(Kampala International University, 2015) Ssemugenyi, FredThe objectives of this study were to: (i) determine the mostly applied conflict management styles; (ii) to assess the level of work performance; (iii) distinguish the difference in the application of conflict management styles between male and female academic staff; (iv) correlate conflict management styles and the level of work performance of the academic staff. The descriptive comparative and descriptive correlation designs were employed. Data were collected using two sets of questionnaires then analyzed using descriptive analysis, t- test, Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis. Results revealed that compromising, collaborating and accommodating were the mostly applied conflict management styles; the level of work performance was rated good; the female staff differed with the male staff in applying conflict management styles and there was a significant correlation between conflict management styles and level of work performance. It was recommended that the institutions understudy conduct an extensive awareness of staff on the application of the what, when, why and with whom of conflict management styles.

- ItemHuman resource management practices and performance of academic staff in universities in Uganda: presented at the Canadian International Conference on Advances in Computer Science, Humanities and Education, April 1-2, 2015, Dubai, UAE(2015) Tindyebwa, Wilberforce;This study delved into the relationship between the extent of human resource management practices and the level of performance of academic staff. Employed in this study were these methods and techniques: the retrospective/ex post facto designs, purposive and simple random sampling techniques, researcher devised questionnaires administered to 356 respondents. The findings revealed that among the aspects of human resource management practices, recruitment and selection had higher significant correlations on academic staff performance. The findings of this study validated the theories of Taylor and Herzberg. The major recommendations based on the findings were as follows: (1) the university management should put up a policy on promotion so that those with qualifications should be promoted; (2) the universities should organize for workshops and seminars to bring lecturers together from both public and private universities to brainstorm on the use of the teaching models and how to improve on the mode of delivery; (3) the universities understudy should intensify allocation of funds for research seminars and implement strongly their respective policies on research and publication.
