The main objective of the study was to investigate the acquisition and maintenance
problems of human resources and possible solutions to such problems. All
administrators and 30 lecturers who were selected using simple random sampling
techniques were targeted to participate in the study. Among those who were given
questionnaires, only 8 administrators and 21 lech\fers responded to the questionnaires.
Data was tabulated in tables, percentages were calculated and findings were
interpreted.
A discussion was then done to compare the findings with what other scholars had
discovered, the findings of the study revealed that the university faced recruitment
problems which included lack of required skills by some applicants and competition
for highly qualified workers with other organizations especially universities.
A study was conducted using questionnaires among administrators and lecturers and
the findings revealed lack of required skills by some applicants and competition as the
major recruitment problems faced by the organization. It was therefore concluded that
the university faces some recruitment problems.
Solutions to human resource recruitment and maintenance problems faced by the
university. In order to find solutions to human resource recruitment and maintenance
problems, a study was conducted among lecturers and administrators. The findings
revealed that the university was motivating its human resource by giving loans such
as car loans and housing allowances. It was therefore concluded that the university is
trying to find solutions to recruitment and maintenance programs faced by the
university.
The major recommendations that were got from the study finding include, the
university should advertise for jobs in Ugandan media and international media which
will enable the university to attract highly qualified workers. The university should
also improve the level of motivation of workers so more and more highly qualified
workers are attracted and the already working staffs are maintained.
