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.

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.

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.

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.

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/ef18c2b714f9d2dc3c5926355356be2f.pdf b7cca72513cdd98f3234f7f37f7a350d 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.

Title A name given to the resource THE RIGHT TO REASONS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TAPIWA GIVEMORE KASUSO GIFT MANYATERA Description An account of the resource The so-called ‘third wave’ of democratisation in Africa has witnessed a transition from a culture of impunity in the exercise of public power to more emphasis on a culture based on legality and the protection of fundamental rights of citizens. Important strides have been made in enhancing accountability by those who wield public power through judicial review mechanisms. The right to reasons for any administrative action that has an impact on citizens becomes even more paramount in light of these shifts in democratic ethos. This article focuses on the right to reasons for adverse administrative action in Zimbabwe against the backdrop of the 2013 Constitution, which ushered in the dawn of a new era in so far as the scope of the right to just administrative action is concerned. A critical examination of the nature and scope of the right to reasons is undertaken. Insightful recommendations are then proffered to further enhance the practical meaning of the right in the context of the constitutionally entrenched right to just administrative action in Zimbabwe Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available UNISA: Southern African Public Law Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2022 accountability administrative authority Administrative Justice Act adverse administrative action Constitution judicial review Right to reasons transparency Zimbabwe https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/ccab2ea84b36a2ba3e88c48bd1eedb11.pdf e10149b8730d23f6aa1f4d690838a9f5 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 ROLE OF CIVIC SOCIETY Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DR. S. B. M. MARUME PROF. D. NDUDZO DR. A. S. CHIKASHA Description An account of the resource In the broader field of public administration, the concepts of public accountability and control comprise the element of civic society which, according to the literature available, has come to enjoy much social, political, administrative, and intellectual prominence and currency in recent years. Civic society, however, has a fairly long history. In a traditional sense, the terms state and civic society were used inter- changeably and much treated synonymously. This trend continued till the eighteenth century. George W. F. Hegel was the first political philosopher who separated and differentiated civic society from State. He was followed by Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels in the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, Antonio Gramsei critically analyzed the concept of civic society which is the topic of this article.

Title A name given to the resource ROLE OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACT IN EMPLOYEE RETENTION FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN ZIMBABWE. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GONDO KUDZANAYI GORE SEKAI NOREEN SITHOLE KUDAKWASHE Description An account of the resource The study sought to analyse the role of the psychological contract in employee retention for local authorities in Zimbabwe with specific reference to the Municipality of Chinhoyi. The study was necessitated by a high exodus of skilled personnel. An exploratory survey design was adopted for the study. A sample size of 114 respondents was drawn from a target population of 400 comprising 382 current employees, 18 former employees and 6 management representatives using the simple random, convenience and purposive sampling techniques respectively. Questionnaires were used to collect data from both current and former employee respondents whilst face to face interviews were used to gain management opinion. The study concluded that there was a feeling of psychological contract breach amongst employees. Research findings revealed that unfulfilled promises and unfair labour practices by the employer were the major causes for breach of the psychological contract and subsequently leading to employee turnover. The study recommends that local authorities in Zimbabwe should accord significant importance to the informal contract of employment to foster a positive psychological contract through fulfillment of promises made and enhance retention of skilled personnel. The study also recommends that further research be undertaken to assess the impact of the psychological contract on service delivery for local authorities in Zimbabwe given the persistent deplorable service delivery since dollarisation of the economy.
