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.

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.

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 GOVERNMENTAL PLANNING Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource S.B.M MARUME Description An account of the resource According to social scientists, namely; public administration scientists, political scientists, economists, sociologists, students and readers, planning is now viewed and accepted as an indispensible activity in the public sector, as opposed to the ancient point of view that to foretell the future did not reside within the province of humankind’s capabilities. As a matter of fact, planning with reference to contemporary thinking is accorded a necessary element in governmental activities, as is evident from the uses of various terms and concepts such as policy planning, development planning, economic planning, social planning, rural planning, urban planning, and governmental planning to mention but a few; and the latter concept, that is, governmental planning, is the subject this article Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 and governmental planning development planning economic planning foretell the future indispensable activity planning policy planning https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/c05a8612f6b1237d48cc6b45a65f2ba6.pdf 49feb03b6429b0357fa871e771672139 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.

Title A name given to the resource MIDDLE RANGE THEORIES AS COHERENT INTELLECTUAL FRAMEWORKS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DR. S. B. M. MARUME R. R. JUBENKANDA C. W. NAMUSI Description An account of the resource he argument is advanced that sound logical reasoning is essential in understanding the complex concept of middle range theories. This may be explainable as follows: firstly, that epistemological rules and principles are wider and incorporate under to incorporate such concepts as generalization; theoretical paradigms; empirical theories; formal theories; and intellectual theoretical and conceptual frameworks: major premise designated as B. Secondly, that middle range theories have three sets of meanings: called minor premises designated as B1; and these three sets of meanings are: (a)theoretical paradigms as forms of middle range theories are the basic sets of assumptions ideas and unified viewpoints: called minor premise B2; (b) empirical theories as forms of middle range theories as forms of middle range theories are conceptual models of analysis: minor premise B3; (c) formal theories as forms of middle range theories, designated as minor premise B4. (d) Therefore, minor premises B1, B2, B3 and B4 are related to B, major premise. Thirdly, the broader epistemological rules and principles thus incorporate the middle range theories as coherent intellectual frameworks.

Title A name given to the resource TRAVELLERS’ LEVEL OF SATISFACTION WITH THE QUALITY OF SERVICES AT HARARE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SHAMISO P. NYAJEKA THOMAS P.Z. MPOFU Description An account of the resource Although Zimbabwe’s tourism suffered a dramatic downward trend between 2000 and 2010, the establishment of the government of national unity brought a positive upturn in tourist arrivals. However, the growth of tourism is still below its expected potential. Whilst a number of factors militating against the full realization of the country’s tourism potential have been identified, the influence of the quality of service delivery has not been analyzed. This study, therefore, purports to specifically assess how travellers rated the quality of service delivery at Harare International Airport. In this pursuit, the objectives of the study are to (1) ascertain the profile of passengers travelling through Harare International Airport, (2) determine the quality of airport services from the passengers’ perspective and (3) identify aspects of service delivery that need to be improved. This study adopted a quantitative approach and made use of questionnaires administered to 410 passengers departing from the Harare International Airport between December 2013 and January 2014. Drawing from the SERVQUAL model the study focused on 5 dimensions, namely, reliability, assurance, tangibility, empathy and responsiveness. Analysis of the typically numeric data was essentially done through SPSS and reveals that developed countries dominate international arrivals travelling to Zimbabwe by air. In this regard, Europe is the key source market for Zimbabwean tourism, whilst South Africa stands out as the dominant market for travellers from within the African continent. The study reveals that the greatest number of respondents (88%) has, over the last twelve months, travelled more than once through Harare International Airport. Travellers on holiday dominate the tourist market followed by business and educational travellers respectively. South African Airways, BA Comair, Kenya Airways and Emirates are the most travelled on airlines to Harare, with South African Airways having the largest market share of international travellers. Considerable gaps exist between expectations and perceptions. Although rated as above average, service quality across the five dimensions falls below passenger expectations. Of significance, the largest service quality gap relates to the lack of a variety of well known retail outlets at the airport. It is, therefore, concluded that there is room for improvement in all aspects of service delivery at the airport. Whereas airport authorities should consider recommendations from the passengers to close the existing negative gaps, the dynamic nature of the aviation industry calls for the continuous assessment of service quality to ensure consistent satisfaction of airline passengers Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Open and Distance Learning JournaI assurance empathy reliability responsiveness Service Delivery tangibility https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/1ceb5dfa27852510eb62b064de840e96.PDF 2d77f1450634afdad3ef313698955bb9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource STRATEGIES FOR DAILY SURVIVAL: THE ROLE OF SOCIAL CAPITAL AMONG STREET VENDORS OF HARARE METROPOLITAN Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TAVONGA NYAYA Description An account of the resource The study investigated the role of social capital among street vendors of Harare Metropolitan. The investigation relied extensively on qualitative research because we wanted to get an in-depth understanding of the uses of social networks as daily survival tools for street vendors in the face of increased marginalisation. Observations, interviews and reviews of documents were used to collect data on the daily life, the problems faced by street vendors and problem-solving strategies. More specifically, in-depth interviews were conducted with twelve individual street vendors; one focus group session with six street vendors and three detailed interviews with key informants. The high influx of street vendors was due in part to low barriers of entry which enabled cash-poor segments of the population to make a living without a heavy financial capital outlay. But street vending also thrived because transactions required social capital, an asset which most vendors were endowed with. In this regard, the study found that social capital was an important variable in the livelihood provision of street vendors. Social capital was one of the many resources and was used in combination with them in survival strategies. Street vendors benefitted from their social capital on three levels: personal, suppliers and buyer relations and being members of social organisations including political parties. The main goal of the street vendors was to expand their business and revenue in order to improve their livelihoods. Surprisingly, the goals of the vendors were not situated in the realm of entering the formal sector. Instead, they longed to enter the formal economy as workers and not as entrepreneurs.

MADZIYIRE Description An account of the resource Public personnel administration which is that specialized sub field of public administration, concerns itself with the role of civil service in developing societies; classification of positions and ranks; recruitment, selection, placement and retention; training; promotions; and utilization of human resources, pay and service conditions (S.B. M. Marume; 1983 and 1988), for the purposes of meeting the needs of institutions, employees and outside groups(W. Fox and Ivan H. Meyer. 1995:95 and S. B. M. Marume 2016). And public personnel administration scientists, practitioners and researchers who are charged with the human resources responsibilities must have a clear and sound understanding, amongst other things, of the personnel performance appraisal system (PPPAS). They should also know the full implications of the following fundamental public personnel performance appraisal question: It is a traditional approach that is characterized by: (a) mere evaluation, excluding the planning and development function; (b) being linked with the financial rewards and sanctions; and (c) being impersonal, bureaucratic, top down, secretive and centralized excluding participation of the employee being assessed? From the close analysis of the literature available, personnel psychologists industrial, scientists and researchers strongly contend that: (a) if the personnel appraisal approach is traditional evaluation, then it can hardly be humanistic and motivating to an employee. (b) instead such a personnel appraisal approach must be focusing more on filling forms giving quantitative rather qualitative information and data. (c) the obvious question arising from this is: what influence would such a public personnel performance appraisal system (PPPAS) have on an employee’s future performance? (d) it must be understood that a performance appraisal system is a management tool which can help motivate and effectively utilize human resources and it includes public personnel performance planning (PPPP), appraisal and counselling as essential elements Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Engineering Science Invention Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 employee and institutional needs motivation planning and counsellin public personnel performance appraisal system (PPPAS) traditional approach utilization of human resources https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/e924a35ac305ee414ee637d2afe4c696.pdf 821c59c1d8b216203b44474c3cc936b9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource RIGHT TO INFORMATION DR. S. B. M. MARUME DR. A. S.CHIKASHA T. M.CHIUNYE Description An account of the resource According to available literature on administrative behaviour in public administration, one of the essential elements of public accountability and control in modern democratic societies is the aspect of right to information. The concept of right to information is used to refer to the freedom of people to have access to government information which means that the citizens and non-governmental organizations should enjoy a reasonably free access to all files and documents pertaining to the governmental decisions, operations, and performance. In other words, it means openness and transparency in the functioning of government. Thus, the principle of openness and transparency looks antithetical to the factor of secrecy in public administration. As rightly observed by Paras Kuhad, the factor of secrecy as a componental part of executive privilege or transparency through right to information which of the two be adopted as a paradigm for governance. Both factors offer public interest as their rationale but for entirely different explanations. The reasonable question that arises is: Can the two factors be harmonized to avoid apparent contradictory explanations and interpretations? It is significant to note that in 1992, the World Bank released a document entitled” Governance and Development”, which document has mentioned seven important elements of good governance one of them being right to information and transparency.
