The research assessed the service, information and system qualities as well as the benefits and challenges faced by the system users in executing their duties using the system. The system users include lecturers, administrative staff and information records clerks in various departments of the university. The researchers used the mixed methodology where the quantitative approach was the primary method while the qualitative, through the interview guide complemented as a secondary method. Closed-ended questionnaires and interview guides were used as research instruments. A population sample of 54 participants was used. A total of 35 out of 54 managed to respond to the questionnaire. It was concluded that the system brought effectiveness and individual satisfaction as benefits although it was found to have some errors as well as providing inconclusive reports. The study found that the registry system brought high levels of satisfaction. However there was need for more training and support from the system to overcome challenges. It was also recommended that the system should be user friendly and exhibit ease of use functions.

CHIKASHA Subject The topic of the resource In the broader field of Public administration, one of the integral elements of public accountability and control is the concept of people`s participation. According to available literature, the concept of people`s participation means participation of people in the process government and administration. It implies citizens’ control over administration or public influence on public administration. It is essential for the smooth and effective performance of the administrative machinery of the country. What this means is that people`s participation makes the public administration responsive to the needs and wants of the people. It secures public support to the government policies and programmes and makes them a success.

Title A name given to the resource LEADERSHIP THEORIES: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE APPLICATION OF LEADERSHIP THEORIES AMONG CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF ZIMBABWE STOCK EXCHANGE LISTED COMPANIES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DOUGLAS ZIMBANGO Description An account of the resource Leadership in Africa is under-researched while academic investigation into leadership has been much more rigorous, in terms of trends, in America and Europe. In Africa, there is sparse empirical research on leadership in business organizations. This study contributes towards closing the gap through investigating the application of leadership theories by Chief Executive Officers of Zimbabwe Stock Exchange listed companies. While the theoretical propositions and frameworks have been largely influenced by empirical studies within the Western World, emerging studies on African leadership and management culture show a gap that needs to be filled for Africa to move forward. This research, therefore, investigates the efficacy and relevance of some of the theories on leadership by focusing on Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) drawn from organizations listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange during the period 2005 to 2010. The research will also aim to analyse the leadership characteristics that help to transform a corporation into a social system. In essence, the study sought to ascertain the role of the various factors proposed in the literature as affecting leadership and how leaders act to get the best out of their subordinates through inducing an appropriate action for a particular need. The theoretical proposition posed is that leaders, through influencing an entire group, can improve the fortunes of a company. The research problem for this study is premised on the resource endowment and educational levels in Zimbabwe which do not reconcile with the level of development in the country especially when compared with Asian countries that were at the same levels of development just a few decades ago. The research methodology applied to investigate the application of theory, in this study, involved a combined approach i.e. quantitative and qualitative analysis (triangulation). Instruments used to investigate the underlying practices and characteristics of leaders in a developing country context were questionnaires, observations, case studies and oral interviews. The archival method of directing questions at a population concerning key issues was aimed at understanding the present and predicting the future. The qualitative approach informed by phenomenology was used to come up with a holistic view where emphasis was on meaning rather than frequency while the quantitative approach was used to determine frequency. This process introduced flexibility as it allowed for greater spontaneity and adaptation through the more elaborate responses by respondents and follow up questions. The study looked at the evolving theories of leadership from the Great Man and Trait theories, Behavioural Theories, Theory X and Y, the Contingency/Situational Theories and Transformational theories and investigated their application by Chief Executive Officers of Zimbabwe Stock Exchange listed companies between the period 2005 to 2010. The findings from this research support calls against the blanket implementation of universal models of leadership and leadership development, as well as approaches that break culture down into a series of discrete dimensions. They call for the facilitation of a more constructionist approach to the surfacing of Afro-centric knowledge about leadership and management. The study concluded that while some Western World principles, with regards to work and leadership, do not work in an African set up, it is agreed that the underlying theories on leadership are applicable universally but their universal and uncritical acceptance without regard to culture and the peculiarities of the operating environment does not work. The study calls for a pragmatic adaptation of the theories for application in Zimbabwe. Finally, the study recommends further and deeper studies with specific interest on African and Zimbabwean cultural and environmental idiosyncrasies.

Title A name given to the resource A QUALITATIVE STUDY ON BEST PRACTICES IN TECHNOLOGY AFFORDANCES, ICT AND GOOD GOVERNANCE IN MANAGING HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource PROFESSOR GABRIEL KABANDA Description An account of the resource The emergence and growth of unethical leadership in the corporate world in Zimbabwe militate against competitiveness of the nation. Governance issues of higher education institutions in Zimbabwe have affected their strategic response to new technological innovations and programmes associated with open educational resources (OERs), massive open online courses (MOOCS), e-learning and mobile learning in an increasingly networked environment. The purpose of the research was to evaluate the corporate governance issues that affect technology affordances and IT governance in an increasingly networked environment and the impact on strategic response to the new technologies in teaching and learning. The research methodology used was qualitative where focus group discussions were held with various groups involved in the management of higher education institutions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted on selected levels of university management on technology affordances, IT governance and business-IT alignment. Stratified sampling technique was used as the target population was stratified according to levels of management in higher education institutions, starting from the level of University Council going down to IT Managers and key users. The results show that there are corporate governance problems between the Vice Chancellor and Chairperson of the University Council, and the critical success factors were determined. However, all the higher education institutions involved in the study indicated the common problem of poor alignment between the business strategy and IT. Corporate governance and IT governance facilitate a conductive environment for technological progress and responsiveness to technological innovations such as e-learning.
