Administrative Style And Staff Morale In Private Institutions In Malaysia
(Global Journal of Management and Business Research, 2010) Kakuba, Sultan Juma; Saidi, Mpawenimana Abdullah
Globally, administrative styles in institutions is concerned with the way and manners in which the authority works with subordinate staff for the purposes of achieving desired stated goals and objectives set by the institutions. However, Management, leadership/administration are often used synonymously according to Coleman despite the fact that they mean different things.1 He states that management has to do with finance, structure, staffing, mission and effectiveness. On the hand, he looks at leadership administration as taking an institution/organization where it is now to where it has to be in the future leadership/ administration is providing a direction that drives the institution in a specific direction.2 But Goldbach looks at administration as an art and science. He explains that leadership is an art because it is applied to real life with skills. And it is a science because it can be learned.3 According to Krietner, he looks at leadership as a process of social influence, which a leader seeks the voluntary participation of subordinate staff in an attempt to achieve the goals of an institution. It is the art to inspire others to willingly execute institutional activities. In this study administration is used interchangeably with management to mean the capacity to direct and coordinate human and material resources to attain specified objectives. Important to note is that it is administration of human resources that seem to be the major focus of administration. This is because it is persons that coordinates and manages resources for the purposes of the intended mission and goals of institution. In the light of this, administration and management analysts usually look on the problems of human resources administration.

An Analysis of the 2011 Parliamentary Election and its Implication on the Economy of Uganda
(International Journal of Politics and Good Governance, 2011) Kakuba, Sultan Juma
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) government transited to electoral democracy with promulgation of the 1995 constitution. This constitution provides for a periodic election after every five years. This has given a roadmap for political action to put Uganda on the road of democracy. This study makes an analysis of the 2011 parliamentary election, which attracted a total of 1659 parliamentary candidates both male and female. A content analysis was adopted in this study and the main source of data was the electoral commission results document records. Method of data analysis was based on descriptive statistics to interpret, discuss and analyse the parliamentary election outcome. The findings are that the ruling NRM party won most of the seats; there was decline in the number of seats won by opposition. And female still enjoy affirmative action seats with little inroads to directly elected seats, which are the domain of men among others. But opposition political parties attract little support and register poor performance in election. The conclusion is that given the huge number of seats obtained by NRM, the parliament is likely to turn into a rubber stamping body for the demands from the executive. Therefore, the recommendation is that in order for the citizens to be familiar with multi-polity politics, where electoral system is free and fair, there is need for government to invest in political education right from primary to university level to enhance active and equal participation in election through political parties of their choices.

(Islamic Universiy In Uganda, 2009) Khamis, Sheha
This study is on “An Analysis of the Contribution of Zanzibar Free Port in Alleviating Poverty in Zanzibar”. The researcher had employed analytical research design due to the nature of the study that concern on the matter relating to the data and events in Zanzibar Free Port. Both probability and non-probability sampling techniques have been used. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The study found out that, there are a number of activities that are carried out at the Zanzibar Free Port. However they are not enough to keep the Zanzibar Free Port busy compared to other Free Ports. No progress of the activities, no sufficient advertisement of Zanzibar Free Port and their activities, no fund sent to Zanzibar Free Port for its expansion and development from the government, no goal to be achieved of offering employment to the people. The household income was not enough for the workers; Zanzibar Free Port has low contribution in the employment of the people and there was a big challenge of taxes and not taxes barriers from TRA. The study recommends that the government should allocate fund for the development and expansion of Zanzibar Free Port, the management of ZIPA and other authorities should find the ways of increasing the number of activities in Zanzibar Free Port, to mobilize investors to invest in Zanzibar Free Port, negotiate with TRA to be one of the advertisers of Zanzibar Free Port, they should list it in the websites among the Free Ports in the world, make follow up of the means and ways of employment of the companies, all employees should be registered in the security fund and workers get their rights. Furthermore, the management of companies should increase the income of their workers, giving them chance to participate in the business in terms of partnership and consignments, and pay them the commission after sales. Also the researcher recommended conducting another research in the tourism sector on the employment of the people then to compare the contribution of these two fields in creating the employment opportunities.

(Islamic Universiy In Uganda, 2008) Opolot, Bernard
The overall objective of this assessment is premised on analysing the effects of war on the socio-economic livelihood of the residents of Otuboi subcounty.It analyses the contributing factors to the socio economic status of people in this sub county and establishes the strengths, resilience and resettlement strategies of families affected by conflict .The assessment serves to highlight the impact of conflict on the traditional coping mechanisms that existed prior to the rebel incursion. (Supportive cultures, beliefs, and practices coupled with social support systems that were the fabric of this society) because the conflict led to massive displacement of local residents forcing them to crowd in internally displacement camps. The return and re-settlement of communities to their original land makes it imperative to know the impacts of the camp life (displacement) on the capacity of the family to function as the immediate unit of support to all family members. In an effort to find answers to the set objectives a descriptive study was under taken in order to capture people’s opinions, perceptions and attitudes, a number of data collection methods were used which included; Questionnaires, observation, focus groups discussions, interview and document review (secondary data). The key findings of this assessment generally reveal that conflict has remarkable effects on the social-economic wellbeing of residents in a community and solutions to the challenges of life difficulties were identified. It’s therefore recommended that the communities be helped by government and development partners to initiate income generating projects to help them acquire skills to engage in business ventures including profitable agricultural practices. Government financial allocations should target priority areas like education to cater for the future generation and there is need for the sub county authorities to enhance coordination especially among development partners so as to bring together development efforts in the different sectors.

An assessment of the effect of demobilization on the socio-economic aspects of female updf veterans in Wakiso district
(2010) Kimuli, Gloria
The demobilization program in Uganda affected 1,389 female veterans out of a total of 36,358 veterans that were honorably discharged from the NRA/UPDF in the period 1992-1995. The research set out to assess the effect of demobilization on the socio-economic aspects of female veterans in Wakiso district purposively selected because of its proximity to the city coupled with its rural based location. The study’s objectives included: establishment of whether there has been any specific government programmes on female veterans; to examine the relationship between demobilization and socio-economic aspects of female veterans, and to analyze how the civilian veterans have been accepted in civilian life by the community. The research focused on female veterans because little information is known about female veterans in the country. It covered 160 female veterans plus ten key informants making the total of 170 respondents. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used and findings from the study indicated that there has never been any specific government program targeting female veterans alone and few of them benefited from the general training by UVAB, the government body handling veterans’ matters. It was also found out that female veterans have made themselves invisible given their low turn up for the general reintegration programmes although financial limitations on part of UVAB were cited as the major cause of failure to specifically them. The socio-economic aspects of the sample represent low literacy levels, a high percentage of single parents, and with a high death rate most of it from HIV and related illnesses. The economic activities of these female veterans were found to be poor with the majority engaged in small size businesses whose profitability was just adequate for the female veterans to exist, and the veterans have been unfavorably treated by the civilian community who marginalize them in real terms. The female veterans view themselves as worse off than the civilians and see this as grossly unfair considering that they liberated the country. In general the research found that the female veterans were a disgruntled group that advocate for a number of interventions to reverse their plight and have no kind words for government and feel community betrayal. Similar research should be conducted in war affected areas; the coping mechanisms of wives of veterans needs to be undertaken; and a critical analysis of the demobilization and reintegration exercise in general needs to be done.

(Islamic university in uganda, 2009-12) Mohammad, Khamis

An assessment of the impact of allied democratic force insurgencies on the Muslims of Kasese district from 1996 – 2006
(Islamic university in uganda, 2009-01) Segujja., Badru
The objectives of this study were to assess the social economic impact of ADF insurgencies on the Muslims of Kasese District in areas of poverty, ill health, illiteracy, economic insecurity and social injustice. Basing on in depth study of social phenomena, a qualitative design was employed using investigative methods of in depth interviews, observations and group discussions. The findings indicate that the ADF insurgencies affected the Muslims welfare on various aspects at the social economic levels. Muslims were denied medical care and education opportunities because ADF abducted them and the government suspected them to be rebels. They faced a double tragedy due to that insecurity and they could not feel free with others in different communities. The findings also showed that the ADF insurgencies created economic problems to the Muslim community. They were economically disempowered by the closure of Muslim aid organizations, denial of employment, and the general feeling of suspended security coupled with unending insurgency led to general backward development and poverty of the Muslims in Kasese District.
An assessment of the impact of the 1964 Zanzibar revolution on political party-formation in zanzibar; 1977-2005
(Islamic University in Uganda, 2010) Nyange, Makame
This dissertation presents an assessment of the impact of the1964 Zanzibar Revolution on political party formation in Tanzania, 1977-2005 conducted in Urban District of Zanzibar, between December 2008 March 2009 the findings also showed that there were many political parties before the revolution but the moment the coup took place they were forced underground by the new revolutionary government. A part from that, the study found out that there has been a political crisis in Tanzania, because of the following: lack of political tolerance between two contending parties i.e. CCM and CUF, poor elections code and regulations practiced by ZEC, Union question especially in those additional Articles dealing with such as petroleum and status of Zanzibar in the context of Union. The form of Union government, unevenness in the distribution of the subsides among the political parties, political roles which CCM and its governments played in the implementation of Muafaka as well as tremendous economic hardship have also caused political crisis in Tanzania. The study further portrayed that the accord (Muafaka) entered into by the ruling party in Zanzibar -CCM and the strong opposition party-CUF, was exactly aimed at undermining long term conflicts which were rampant in Zanzibar polity prior to and after the revolution. But surprisingly CCM governments became reluctant against these negotiations. The study recommended that, there is a great need to resolve the Union issue together with the implementation of Muafaka. Otherwise the long term impact of the revolution might not be beneficial to the ordinary people of Tanzania.
An Assessment of the Intervention of the Trade Liberalization Strategy in Promoting Private Sector-Led Growth in Bugisu Sub-Region
(Islamic Universiy In Uganda, 2010) Mandu, Samuel
The study was about an assessment of the intervention of the trade liberalization strategy in promoting private sector led growth in Bugisu sub region. The study objectives were; 1). To examine the economic management systems employed by the business entrepreneurs in the Bugisu sub region. ii) To assess the level of private sector led growth in the sub region and iii) To assess the impact of the intervention of the trade liberalization strategy to people’s welfare in the sub region. This study used a cross-sectional research design in order to collect a substantial amount of data on the intervention of trade liberalization strategy in promoting private sector led growth in the Bugisu sub region. The findings indicated that promoting private sector led growth through the intervention of the trade liberalization strategy in Bugisu sub region is rather still challenging. This is because of inadequate resources, inadequate trainings, complex procedures characterized by bureaucratic impediments and inability to adopt modern technology. Equally important is the poor capital levels among local entrepreneurs, wanting management skills and information gap about the existing markets. Above all high dependence rate, poor marketing strategies, poor policy implementation and limited participatory planning were noted as serious challenges and thus the need for redress. Based on the findings, it is therefore recommended that there is need to provide adequate resources for facilitation of entrepreneurial activities, regular training, tax holidays and reduced interest rates. It is also important to provide adequate information to entrepreneurs, minimize bureaucracy, boost the existing entrepreneurial capital levels and enhance the use of modern technology. There is also need to sensitize entrepreneurs about marketing strategies, streamline policy implementation and cultivate a spirit of family planning among local entrepreneurs to minimize dependency. This may go a long way in streamlining the role of community mobilization in as may go a long way in promoting private sector led growth through the trade liberalization strategy in Bugisu sub region.

(Islamic university in uganda, 2009-12) Maliamungu, Uthuman
This research is concerned with the challenge of religious appeal to conflict resolution process in Northen uganda, The purpose of the study was to investigate [he notion of religion in conflict resolution with specific emphasis on: (i) how the LRA conflict is inclined to religion (ii) how religion has empowered individuals to denounce the conflict (iii) the role religious institutions have played in the resolution of the conflict.

Pastors and FBO employees. Simple descriptive analysis wa used to analyze the qualitative data, while descriptive statistics in percentages was employed for quantitative analysis. Then nonparametric was used to design the questionnaires. The research findings indicated that the LRA conflict is specifically linked to the catholic faith. This is as a result of the strong historical attachments Acholi community has with the catholic faith, the influence of Acholi ethnicity and the myth that" Acholi are God' hosen people to rule Uganda" .The religious appeal has significantly contributed to peace in the region by altering the attitude of the disputants, this is done through community peace prayers. Preaching peace and rehabilitation of the defect ants. Religious organizations play big role of mediation, advocacy, lobbying for amnesty bills and sensitization .They also inform the international community about the plight of the region amidst the conflict. The research recommended the following:(i) religious leaders and institutions should continue to persuade both parties to end the violence (ii) FBOs should continue to formulate common positions to pressure both sides to adopt peaceful means to end the war (iii)the traditional methods of reconciliation and peace building must be encouraged among the communities in the region. Therefore religious appeal for peace should be given priority by the national and international stake holders till peace is completely attained.
Clan Warlords as a Challenge in Search of a Sustainable Solution to the Political Crisis in Mogadishu, Somalia
(Islamic university in uganda, 2010-08) JAMA, MOHAMED
With the collapse of Siad Barre's government in 1991, Somalia, and more specifically,Mogadishu has been characterized by civil wars. These wars are primarily clan based and, as aresult, clan ism has emerged as the single most important factor in determining the political andthe general wellbeing of the Somalis. Despite several attempts to find a lasting solution to the raging war in Somalia not much has been achieved. Specifically, not much is known about the' role that clan ism plays in fuelling the civil war and the resultant lawlessness. The main objective of this study was to investigate the nature of clanism and the challenges it possess towards the peace process in Mogadishu. The study was informed by the theory of conflict dynamics in divided society which postulates that inequality in political and economic power between different groups as well as the existence of incompatible ideological convictions generates conditions for polarization and violence. The study comprised of field work done in Mogadishu between March and September, 2009 where relevant data was gathered from different sources and adopted purposive sampling technique. Data collection tools included interview, questionnaire, as well as focus individual and group discussions were used in order to get relevant information from the field. The study findings have shown that clan ism contrives to be cancerous and will continue to be so. Inter- clan rivalry and warfare is indeed dictated by clan goals that have to do with political power, land, and the state of the economy as well as other social issues. At the heart of all this is, therefore, the need for Somalis to align themselves along their clans. The study argues that clanism, therefore, emerges as the only viable political option hence the escalation of the war in Mogadishu. The study further gives clear and basic information to the reader about the Somali conflict, which based on clan goals of dimensions. Its revealed that clanisrn has played a significant role in the Somali crisis and the current scenario the country is in. The study found out that the entire peace initiatives, which have been conducted, were based on 4.5 formulae and none has been successful.
Community Participation and Health Service Delivery in Hargaisa Somaliland
(Islamic Universiy In Uganda, 2016) Jama, Mohamed
This study was carried out to examine the relationship between community participation and health service delivery in Hargaisa local government in Somaliland. It was conducted under three specific objectives namely; to examine the relationship between community decision making and health service delivery in Hargaisa local government in Somaliland, to examine the relationship between community monitoring and health service delivery in Hargaisa local government in Somaliland and to examine the relationship between community implementation and health service delivery in Hargaisa local government in Somaliland. The study adopted a correlational research design to establish the relationship between the study variables. Data was collected from respondents by use of questionnaires and interview guides. A census and stratified random sampling techniques were used to select the respondents that participated in the study. Pearson correlations and multiple regression analysis were used to establish the relationship among the study variables. The correlations revealed a significant positive relationship between community involvement in decision making and health service delivery in Hargaisa – Somaliland (r = 0.680, n= 160, p < 0.05), a significant positive relationship between community monitoring and health service delivery in Hargaisa – Somaliland (r = 0.567, n= 160, p < 0.05) and a significant positive relationship between community implementation and health service delivery in Hargaisa – Somaliland (r = 0.621, n= 160, p < 0.05). Furthermore, a stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that community involvement in decision making is the most significant predictor to health service delivery in Hargaisa – Somaliland. Its relationship with health service delivery in Hargaisa – Somaliland was up to 68.0%; its effect on the sample was 46.2% while its effect on the population was 45.8%. The study consequently recommended that decision makers in Hargaisa – Somaliland further involve the local community in determining the allocation of resources in the health sector, for instance through community budgeting where community members and community groups come together with service providers to take a fresh look at local issues and decide the allocation of resources, formalize the monitoring activity and carry it out in accordance with specifications and even submit reports at agreed time and further involve the local communities in the implementation of community health programs since it is not only cheaper but also helps to strengthen local capacity for collective action.
