Abstract
This report was about a study aimed at examining the influence of effective
management on an organization's performance
The study was guided by three objectives: to find out the management
styles/techniques practiced, to examine the impact of management styles on employee
motivation and performance and to establish the management challenges faced by
employees in Mpigi Town Council and suggest remedies
The sh1dy used a descriptive research survey design in which both qualitative and
quantitative methods were employed. The study involved 30 respondents who were
selected using systematic non random sampling. Data was collected mainly through the
use of self-administered questionnaires and interview guides. Documentary review of
the influence of effective management on an organisation was done.
The findings revealed that effective decisions were made by the executive in Mpigi
Town Council and that the council provides h·aining and support to attain high
education for the employees. This helps the workers to gain extra skills and h·aining so
as to do better at work.
The researcher recommended that all employees in organizations be involved in
decision making. Giving employees more responsibility and decision-making authority
increases their control over the tasks for which they are held responsible and better
equips them to carry out those tasks. Trapped feelings arising from being held
accountable for something one does not have the resources to carry out are diminished.
Energy is diverted from self-preservation to improved task accomplishment.
