Title A name given to the resource THE PERCEPTIONS OF EDUCATION STAKEHOLDERS TOWARDS EXTRA LESSONS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN CHEGUTU HIGH DENSITY SUBURBS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource RICHARD BUKALIYA Description An account of the resource This multi-case study was undertaken in three Chegutu urban secondary schools in Mashonaland West Province. It investigated stakeholder perceptions towards extra lessons and provided suggestions on how extra lessons could be implemented to the satisfaction of stakeholders, who included, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MOPSE) and parents, teachers and learners. The study adopted the interpretivism paradigm and the qualitative research approach. The subjective epistemology was adopted because there was no one method of knowing what really the role of extra lessons was. The study used interviews, document analysis and focus group discussions to generate data. Purposive critical case sampling was used to select twenty-three participants who took part in the study. Findings show that extra lessons had both positive and negative roles. The extra lessons helped improve the academic performance of learners and helped in covering up for inadequate time in the formal school system. They assisted in improving the school image through good results and paved the way for the reduction of the teachers` workload. Economically, teachers got extra remuneration from the extra lessons but they drained the family`s meagre financial resources. However, teachers` professionalism was dented as some teachers created demand for extra lessons by teaching less in formal school. One major conclusion drawn from the findings is that extra lessons contribute to indiscipline at the school among learners but they make learners shift their attention from the social ills of the community. From the findings, it was recommended that MOPSE should set standards for service providers and invest in extra lessons because they were assisting many in meeting the shortfalls of the mainstream system. To mitigate challenges encountered during extra lessons, the ON-OFF model could be adopted as it calls for support from all the educational stakeholders. Further studies on the role of extra lessons could be undertaken in rural communities.

Title A name given to the resource THE RELEVANCE AND ORIENTATION OF TEACHER EDUCATION IN ZIMBABWE: ALIGNING WITH EDUCATION 5.0 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource CASSIAN MAKOTA A. T. MUNZARA TICHAONA MAPOLISA Description An account of the resource This paper seeks to understand and explain the relevance and orientation of teacher education (TE) in Zimbabwe and is based on the multiple case study carried out by the author. Preliminary study identified a gap in form of a misalignment of teacher education with Higher and Tertiary Education 5.0 policy in so far as entrepreneurship, innovation and industrialisation were lacking in TE curriculum and practice. The new government policy of Education 5.0 was perceived to have revealed a misalignment between the practiced Education 3.0 and the intended Heritage Based Education 5.0 Curriculum, because of the absence of entrepreneurship and innovation for industrialisation and sustainable development in the former. The study sought to add to literature on entrepreneurship and innovation in teacher education and also promote the development of entrepreneurial and innovative teacher graduates for industrialisation through heritage-based education 5.0 pre and in-service teacher education system in the context of sustainable development. This study was guided by the constructivist philosophy and the interpretivist paradigm. The study adopted the qualitative research approach and the embedded multiple case study method because of the flexibility and diversity in data generation that they allow. The study utilised the three case sites (teachers colleges) within the broader teacher education case in Zimbabwe and that explains the embeddedness. The purposive, non-random probability sampling procedure, featuring judgemental and convenience sampling was employed in the study. Data generation process involved key and other informant interviews, focus group discussion, observations and qualitative document analysis. Data was presented and analysed using the thematic and N-vivo approaches respectively. The study found that there was misalignment between the practiced Education 3.0 teacher education curriculum and the intended Heritage based, HTE 5.0 informed curriculum and this was causing policy- practice dissonance that could be inhibiting the realisation of SDGs, and thus called for curriculum alignment and harmonisation through transformation. This study, therefore, suggested and recommended the Programmatic Framework for Entrepreneurial Teacher Education for the Zimbabwean context. The study contributes to policy alignment discourse by making multiple theoretical insights.

Title A name given to the resource ALIGNING TEACHER EDUCATION WITH EDUCATION 5.0 POLICY IN ZIMBABWE: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource CASSIAN MAKOTA A. T. MUNZARA TICHAONA MAPOLISA Description An account of the resource This paper seeks to explore and explain the challenges and opportunities faced by implementers in aligning teacher education with Higher and Tertiary Education 5.0 policy in Zimbabwe. While this study appreciated the efforts that were being made to align the TE practice with the intended curriculum, it was concerned that possible opportunities were probably not being exploited in the face of emerging curriculum transformation challenges. There was the much publicised misalignment of teacher education with Higher and Tertiary Education 5.0 policy in Zimbabwe. This misalignment scenario culminated in initiatives like the University of Zimbabwe Vice Chancellor’s Teacher Education Curriculum Transformation Programme, meant to address the gaps. However, there seemed to be some emerging challenges that could derail such processes. This study sought to add to literature on teacher education curriculum transformation and also promote the development of entrepreneurial and innovative teacher graduates for industrialisation and sustainable development. This study was guided by the constructivist philosophy and the interpretivist paradigm. The study adopted the qualitative research approach and the multiple case study method because of the flexibility and diversity in data generation that they allow.

Data generation process involved key and other informant interviews, focus group discussion, observations and qualitative document analysis. Data was presented and analysed using the thematic and N-vivo approaches respectively. The study found that there were emerging challenges and unexploited opportunities in aligning the intended Heritage based, HTE 5.0 informed curriculum with TE practice in Zimbabwe. This study, therefore, suggested and recommended the Programmatic Teacher Education Curriculum Implementation Framework (PTECIF) for the Zimbabwean context.

Title A name given to the resource EMERGING ORGANIC CONTAMINANTS IN DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS: HUMAN INTAKE, EMERGING HEALTH RISKS, AND FUTURE RESEARCH DIRECTIONS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource JERIKIAS MARUMURE TINOZIVA T. SIMBANEGAVI ZAKIO MAKUVARA RANGARIRAYI KARIDZAGUNDI RICHWELL ALUFASI DARIUSZ HALABOWSKI CLAUDIOUS GUFE WILLIS GWENZI NHAMO CHAUKURA MARVELOUS GOREDEMA Description An account of the resource Few earlier reviews on emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) in drinking water systems (DWS) focused on their detection, behaviour, removal and fate. Reviews on multiple exposure pathways, human intake estimates, and health risks including toxicokinetics, and toxicodynamics of EOCs in DWS are scarce. This review presents recent advances in human intake and health risks of EOCs in DWS. First, an overview of the evidence showing that DWS harbours a wide range of EOCs is presented. Multiple human exposure to EOCs occurs via ingestion of drinking water and beverages, inhalation and dermal pathways are discussed. A potential novel exposure may occur via the intravenous route in dialysis fluids. Analysis of global data on pharmaceutical pollution in rivers showed that the cumulative concentrations (μg L-1) of pharmaceuticals (mean ± standard error of the mean) were statistically more than two times significantly higher (p = 0.011) in South America (11.68 ± 5.29), Asia (9.97 ± 3.33), Africa (9.48 ± 2.81) and East Europe (8.09 ± 4.35) than in high-income regions (2.58 ± 0.48). Maximum cumulative concentrations of pharmaceuticals (μg L-1) decreased in the order; Asia (70.7) had the highest value followed by South America (68.8), Africa (51.3), East Europe (32.0) and high-income regions (17.1) had the least concen- tration. The corresponding human intake via ingestion of untreated river water was also significantly higher in low- and middle-income regions than in their high-income counterparts. For each region, the daily intake of pharmaceuticals was highest in infants, followed by children and then adults. A critique of the human health hazards, including toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics of EOCs is presented. Emerging health hazards of EOCs in DWS include; (1) long-term latent and intergenerational effects, (2) the interactive health effects of EOC mixtures and the challenges of multifinality and equifinality, and (3) the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease hypothesis. Finally, research needs on human health hazards of EOCs in DWS are presented.

The division within the Christian community is not a recent phenomenon but has existed throughout colonial history. The Zimbabwe Heads of Christian Denominations (ZHOCD) serves as an umbrella organisation that aims at re-uniting Christian efforts of Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, and Indigenous traditions, in order to have a collective influence on democratic processes in Zimbabwe. The ZHOCD takes a combative approach towards state tyranny and is proactive in seeking solutions for public life challenges. This active engagement is beneficial for national agendas, that allow citizens to freely choose and join political parties of their preferences. The individual actions and activities of the ZHOCD members contribute towards the overall work of the churches in Zimbabwe. This demonstrates religious confidence in addressing the political and economic impacts on human well-being.

Title A name given to the resource THE MORAL AUTHORITY AND PROPHETIC ZEAL OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GIFT MASENGWE Description An account of the resource This article aims to illuminate moral authority and prophetic zeal dynamics by analysing the struggles encountered by congregations resisting state encroachments. Amidst Zimbabwe’s political turbulence, the church operates at a critical juncture, grappling with the dual threats of state capture and the dilution of prophetic integrity. The ecclesiastical prophetic voice, traditionally positioned as society’s moral compass, has suffered profound erosion, trapped within a nexus of mutually exploitative relationships among ruling elites, legal frameworks, and acquiescent ecclesiastical leaders. Those dissenting from the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) face systemic repression within the church, revealing a deep moral crisis. Referencing Martin Luther King Jr’s assertion that the church must function as the ethical justice of the state, this research underscores the potential decline into irrelevance should prophetic zeal wane. This investigation employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to bridge gaps concerning moral compromises within religious institutions, aligning practical leadership insights with broader socio-political contexts. Employing qualitative methodologies, including informal discussions and WhatsApp exchanges among church leaders and congregants from diverse denominations, the study generates nuanced insights into the lived experiences of church-state interactions and the preservation of prophetic integrity. Findings indicate a pervasive trend of ecclesiastical subservience to state interests, signifying moral decay and an imperative to restore the church’s ethical foundation. To maintain spiritual relevance, a revival of prophetic assertiveness is essential, lest the church devolves into an inconsequential social entity devoid of substantive moral engagement with the state Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available AOSIS Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 general elections horizontal immanence moral bankruptcy political exploitation prophetic zeal regime enablers regime resistors religious leaders state-church capture vertical transcendence https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/c70f827fa22704a0401f33f385af5dfd.pdf b406121a4786d20a963166b60e7972dc 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 EXPLORING THE ZIMBABWEAN TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION JOURNEY: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ALBERT MUFANECHIYA BEKITHEMBA DUBE GIFT MASENGWE Description An account of the resource The study explored the challenges that militate against the successful implementation of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Zimbabwe. The study gave an informed focus on biases and perceptions associated with the academic curriculum. In addressing these challenges, it becomes possible to create an environment where TVET education is valued and considered a viable pathway for individuals, and national economic and social development. Using critical discourse analysis, the study examined the perceptions of instructors and students about TVET education and identified historical factors that continue to contribute to the devaluation of TVET. The study findings revealed that the historical undervaluing of TVET subjects in comparison with academic subjects was borrowed from the colonial bottleneck education system that favoured university education over technical skills and persists today. The study underscored the need for a paradigm shift to TVET skills if economic development is to be realised in Zimbabwe. This study recommends the need to re-evaluate the status of TVET education given its contribution to the job market. This study understands the historical roots of biases against TVET and provides insights for the reconstruction of an effective TVET system in Zimbabwe that contributes toward ongoing discourses on the importance of technical skills for national development. The study recommends the need to reshape public perceptions around TVET which requires a concerted effort and long-term commitment to changing societal attitudes toward technical-vocational education.

Title A name given to the resource THE DISTINCTION OF CLINT LE BRUYNS’ KAIROS THEOLOGY IN SOUTH AFRICA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GIFT MASENGWE Description An account of the resource This article, contextualised within the commemoration of 50 years of scholarship at the Research Institute for Theology and Religion of the University of South Africa, examines the enduring contributions of Clint Le Bruyns to the development of the Kairos brand of public theology in post-apartheid South Africa. Le Bruyns engages contemporary imperatives of a transformative framework, including economic justice, gender equity, environmental sustainability, decolonisation and political responsibility by synthesising insights from theology, development studies and social ethics. He critiques the persisting inertia of faith communities in passive theological reflection rather than prophetic action, wherein the church remains a pivotal agent of social justice and human flourishing. Le Bruyns’ theological framework (dual role as a scholar and activist), intensely articulates the communal dimensions of Kairos theology anchored in the foundational tenets of the South African Kairos Document and complemented by insights from global decolonial discourses that include Palestinian Kairos and Latin American Liberation Theology. He uses this background in his ecumenical dialogues to equip grassroots movements to transcend denominational divides in grappling with the complexities of moral renewal and social transformation in South Africa.

The study involved migrant labourers in Polokwane and Gauteng working on the farms, mines and industries. Economic opportunities offered by South Africa after 1994 turned it into a migrant-receiving country, requiring legal control to potential visitors, refugees or foreign labourers to avert the problem of fugitives running away from the law. Participants for the qualitative study were randomly and conveniently drawn from a sample of Zimbabweans and Mozambicans. Media Assisted Interviews (MAIs) also Mobile Instant Messaging Interviews (MIMIs) used a mobile messenger, WhatsApp in the study. Participants ranged from those with expired visas to those without passports at all. The study established a correlation between the contemporary immigration policy and the South African Apartheid Aliens Control Act of 1991 that restricted foreign African nationals but did not restrict white foreign nationals. The South African immigration policy has justified both politicians and nationals to act violently against foreign African nationals causing great turmoil among migrants in South Africa. The study found out that South Africa’s immigration policy criminalises all migrants and securitises nationals through fear by reports such as the seven percent proportion of children of foreign natives born in South Africa becoming native foreigners. This study is couched in new discourses of decoloniality by emphasising on use of regional, continental, and international templates to benchmark progressive immigration policy aims for South Africa.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MAXWELL CHIWODZA TICHAONA MAPOLISA BARBRA MBUYISA Description An account of the resource The study sought to examine how innovative financial resource mobilisation projects/programmes enhanced the financial sustainability of the public universities of Zimbabwe. A combination of correlation and survey research design informed by the positivist research philosophy were employed in the study. The unit of analysis was confined to six public universities in Zimbabwe from which a sample of 229 respondents were selected through systematic random sampling from an accessible population of 1 450 employees in the respective revenue generating units and participated in the Rensis Likert scale questionnaire survey. Quantitative data were validated using tests for normality, kurtosis and skewness, homoscedasticity, multicollinearity, and prior power of the entire model of the study. The test results fell within acceptable values for correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics. The Overall regression results showed that right-tailed, was F(3,164) = 12.7208, p-value = 0.000. Since p-value < α (0.05), H0 (the null hypothesis): Innovative financial resource mobilisation has no significant effect on the financial sustainability of Zimbabwe’s public universities, was rejected and the alternate hypothesis accepted. It was deduced that innovative financial resource mobilisation enhanced the financial sustainability of the public universities of Zimbabwe. Therefore, the more the public universities implemented innovative financial resource mobilisation programmes, the more the financial sustainability. It was recommended that lucrative financial resource mobilisation strategies like 'grant-winning' research and extension, provision of consultancy and advisory services, sale of merchandise in strategic business units, bond issues financing, endowment financing, and foundations be implemented to maintain the financial sustainability of the public universities of Zimbabwe.

Title A name given to the resource EFFECTIVENESS OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL BANKS IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TENDAI JOSEPH MABVURE BRIGHTON MAFUNDIRA Description An account of the resource The study analysed the effectiveness of the governance within the Zimbabwean commercial banking sector. The study was based on the rationale that the Zimbabwean commercial banking sector had witnessed a negative trend in terms of return on investment. The study adopted a combination of exploratory and explanatory research designs and gathered data from 124 participants using questionnaires and interview guides. In terms of data analysis, the thematic analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and random effects panel regression was adopted with data for 12 banks for the period 2018-2020. The study revealed that effective boards can be rated based on board composition, independence and level of skill diversity. Most of the banks in Zimbabwe are using a formal two-tier structure, whereas other banks which are private owned are using a one-tier structure and others adopted the mixed tier system. The study concluded that both the size of the governing board and audit committee composition positively significantly influenced the Zimbabwean commercial banking sector.

Title A name given to the resource BOARD DIVERSITY, FIRM CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE OF COMPANIES LISTED ON THE ZIMBABWE STOCK EXCHANGE (ZSE) (2009-2015) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ZVINAIYE CHIMBADZWA Description An account of the resource Many practitioners (Wilton, 2011; Abad et al., 2017; Arenas-Torres et al., 2021; Ali et al., 2022) now acknowledge that the diversity of a Board of Directors is a strength in corporate boards and the adoption of diversity in corporate boards is increasingly gaining steam as a best practice in corporate governance worldwide. Recent developments (Somathlike, 2018; Cha & Jung, 2009; Saidu, 2019; Osazuwa et al., 2016; Darmadi, 2011; Bathula, 2008, Khidmat et al, 2020; Ali et al., 2022; Dedunu & Anuradha, 2020) worldwide also demonstrate that the world is changing by legal writ and through moral imperatives that make boardroom diversity a critical component of sound corporate governance. The board of directors in organisations is responsible for making strategic decisions such as mergers, acquisitions, creating financial structures and executive hiring or firing. In the Zimbabwean situation, the existence of boards has not prevented scandals and economic meltdowns that remain the order of the day just like in other developing or underdeveloped countries. The response has been to institute board diversity policies that focus on independent directors who replace executive directors to reduce scandals. This study examines the impact of board diversity, firm characteristics, and performance of Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed companies for the period 2009-2015. The study employed the quantitative methodology to establish the impact of board diversity on the performance of thirty-five (35) firms listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange using panel data collected over the period 2009 – 2015. The agency theory and the social categorisation and identification theory are the main theories that guided this study. The board diversity variables used were gender, education, and board executives. The level of board diversity was measured using the Blau (1977) index. Firm performance was measured using profitability, market share, efficiency, liquidity, and leverage. Firm size, board size, the number of years the firm has been listed on the ZSE, the firm sector such as food, financial, services, real estate and food and manufacturing were used as moderating variables in the study. The results show that gender and executive diversity were moderately diversified with mean diversity indexes of 0.32 and 0.36 respectively. Education was diversified with a mean index of 0.60. Using panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE) regression analysis, the study established that the level of board diversity has a significant relationship with firm performance. Board gender diversity was found to have a positive and significant impact on profitability as measured by returns per share and gross profit; efficiency as measured by asset turnover; market share as measured by Tobin's Q ratio and market value; and liquidity as measured by current ratio. Board gender diversity had no impact on leverage as measured by the debt-equity ratio. Board executive diversity was found to have a positive and significant impact on firm profitability and market share while it had a negative and significant relationship with market value, efficiency, liquidity, and leverage. Board education diversity was found to have a positive and significant impact on firm profitability, market share, and liquidity while it had a negative and significant impact on firm efficiency and leverage. Non-board diversity variables were also found to significantly affect firm performance. On the one hand, the major factors that promoted board diversity were firm size, liquidity, leverage, operating experience (years listed), market share (Tobin's Q), and being in the service sector. On the other hand, board size and being in the food, financial, real, industrial and manufacturing sectors negatively and significantly affected diversity. Based on the above results, the study recommended that firms should come up with board diversity-enabling policies to enhance firm performance. However, further studies could be undertaken on individual variables to validate the study Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ZOU Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 and firm performance Diversity firm characteristics https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/0b9c7f8eecbb10a98511bfde0974f518.pdf be3ff13fc0e9e2c70b57a05997340697 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 IMPLEMENTATION OF FINANCIAL RESOURCE MOBILISATION PROGRAMMES TO INCREASE FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY IN ZIMBABWE’S PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES: A PANACEA OR A PIPE DREAM? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MAXWELL CHIWODZA TICHAONA MAPOLISA BARBRA MBUYISA Description An account of the resource The study sought to examine how innovative financial resource mobilisation projects/programmes enhanced the financial sustainability of the public universities of Zimbabwe. A combination of correlation and survey research design informed by the positivist research philosophy were employed in the study. The unit of analysis was confined to six public universities in Zimbabwe from which a sample of 229 respondents were selected through systematic random sampling from an accessible population of 1 450 employees in the respective revenue generating units and participated in the Rensis Likert scale questionnaire survey. Quantitative data were validated using tests for normality, kurtosis and skewness, homoscedasticity, multicollinearity, and prior power of the entire model of the study. The test results fell within acceptable values for correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics. The Overall regression results showed that right-tailed, was F(3,164) = 12.7208, p-value = 0.000. Since p-value < α (0.05), H0 (the null hypothesis): Innovative financial resource mobilisation has no significant effect on the financial sustainability of Zimbabwe’s public universities, was rejected and the alternate hypothesis accepted. It was deduced that innovative financial resource mobilisation enhanced the financial sustainability of the public universities of Zimbabwe. Therefore, the more the public universities implemented innovative financial resource mobilisation programmes, the more the financial sustainability. It was recommended that lucrative financial resource mobilisation strategies like 'grant-winning' research and extension, provision of consultancy and advisory services, sale of merchandise in strategic business units, bond issues financing, endowment financing, and foundations be implemented to maintain the financial sustainability of the public universities of Zimbabwe Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Zimbabwe Journal of Business, Economics and Management Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 designing financial resource mobilisation programmes financial sustainability innovative lucrative public university https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/d4ce1c6e1576536c2ade40c5db4c0250.pdf 3f91a29a142bddc578b605ec687907e3 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 HOW TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF STATE UNIVERSITIES: AN INTEGRATION OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PROCESSES CAXTON SHONHIWA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource CAXTON SHONHIWA Description An account of the resource The paper interrogates the performance of Zimbabwean State Universities and proposes the integration of strategic management and performance management. The contention was that the strategic management process could not lead to high institutional performance because it was divorced from the sphere of managing institutional performance, and the removal of the operational staff from the strategic planning process. A constructivist paradigm was adopted as it was viewed to be the best suited to allow the researcher to become one with participants and ‘get’ into their psych to extract their lived experiences. A group of well-informed persons from the target institutions was purposively identified and interviewed over some time. The acquired data were transcribed and then analysed for meaning. The findings were that the strategic planning process should be integrated with the performance management process. The operational staff must be involved and participate in both processes for purposes of process ownership and buy-in. their participation resulted in corporate objectives being cascaded down to the operational level without their loss of meaning. The conclusion was that the performance management process should be integrated with the strategic planning process if state institutions were to achieve their vision Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Zimbabwe Journal of Business, Economics and Management Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 and integration process Performance Management Strategic Management https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/8423f222f711cbedc3a38022ac76f221.pdf 3f91a29a142bddc578b605ec687907e3 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 THE EFFECT OF SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENT STRATEGIES ON OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF HUMANITARIAN ORGANISATIONS IN ZIMBABWE DURING THE COVID-19 PERIOD Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DUMISANI MAWONDE REGIS MUCHOWE CHAMUNOGWA PANDE Description An account of the resource The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted the supply chains, and this created acute shortages of materials and products in both local and global markets. This situation demanded humanitarian organisations to implement supply chain resilient strategies in order to secure the supplies of their procurement requirements on time and keep their operations running. This study, therefore, examined the effects of supply chain resilience strategies on operational performance of humanitarian relief organisations in Zimbabwe during the Covid-19 period. A pragmatic research philosophy and a descriptive survey research design were employed. A sample of 28 supply chain professionals from humanitarian relief organisations was randomly selected from a targeted population of 30 for the questionnaire and 25 of them responded whereas interviews were conducted with 5 supply chain management professionals. Quantitative data were scrutinized by means of SPSS & AMOS programmes (versions 22.0) whilst qualitative data from interview was analysed using thematic scrutiny. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to determine the results and convergent validity of the measurement model was tested. The study findings show that supply chain resilience strategies have positive significant effect on operational performance of humanitarian relief organisations during the Covid-19 period. The study concluded that, in Zimbabwe, humanitarian relief are familiar with supply chain resilient strategies and that the supply chain resilient strategies which were analysed have a positive and significant effect on material availability, delivery flexibility and delivery time. The study recommends humanitarian relief organisations to be agile in their supply chain departments, to push for cross sector collaborations and to implement supply chain preparedness strategies as this is critical in improving their operational performance during Covid-19 period.

Title A name given to the resource ATTAINING ORGANISATIONAL SUCCESS IN ZIMBABWE’S STATE UNIVERSITIES: PERCEPTIONS OF THE OPERATIONAL STAFF Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource CAXTON SHONHIWA Description An account of the resource The researcher sought to establish the perceptions of operational staff on their understanding of organisational success. The perception of organisational success is usually a reflection of where the owner of the perception stands in the organisation. A constructivist philosophy was adopted to engage a group of purposefully selected operational staff members in in-depth interviews through a face-to-face mode and then by WhatsApp. The purposefully selected members of the operational staff were asked three questions, and they discussed these questions over a period of two months. At the end of the period, transcripts of the discussions were given to relevant members for their authenticity check and validation. Further to that process, the responses were coded, and themes were formulated from which the perceptions of operational staff were derived. The staff perceived that their hard work, the awards they received from the organisation and the achievement of the assigned targets meant that the organisation was succeeding. The recommendation was that operational staff members need to be involved in strategic planning sessions where organisational goals are derived and cascaded from the corporate level down to the operational level to make them understand the importance of hard work at each level and by every worke Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Zimbabwe Journal of Business, Economics and Management Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 and organisational performance Organisational success strategic planning https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/baeb8b97a47b97ad289b8f11cdeb8dc7.pdf d28968cff7df223dd0520f913232cec9 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 AN INCLUSIVE MODEL OF EDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SHAME MUKOKA Description An account of the resource This study sought to determine an inclusive framework for education expenditure that enhances economic development for Zimbabwe. The study used the ARDL-ECM in the determination of the relationship between the two variables, using data for the period 1980 to 2021. E-views Version 12.0 Statistical Package was used to run the regressions. Data were obtained from the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. The study found an inverse relationship between expenditure on education and economic development in Zimbabwe for both the short-run and long-run periods. Guided by the Zimbabwe Education 5.0 Model, the study recommends that a stand-alone research budget be made available for the institutions of higher education. It is also true with the industry that expects the best from graduates to fund research done by the institutions of higher education. It follows, therefore, that the industry must have constant liaison with the institutions of higher education, presenting challenges which they are facing for research to be conducted with the view of proffering solutions. In fact, facilitators from the institutions of higher education must be able to research on the needs of the economy, and impart knowledge on students, guided by the predetermined economic needs. It is from the research that the institutions would have conducted that would inform the content of teaching and community outreach. The students would then benefit from the researched teaching, thus, enabling them, and the facilitators to cause innovation and industrialisation Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Zimbabwe Journal of Business, Economics and Management Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 ARDL Economic Growth Education Expenditure https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/c3b36bf7b656cd6fac5a009aa312bd75.pdf 51b260a0932f61a84b36007b39feb8cc Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Correlation and survey research designs guided by positivist research theory were utilised. The unit of analysis was limited to six public universities in Zimbabwe. Two hundred and twenty-nine respondents were randomly chosen out of 1 450 employees in the separate revenue-generating units to participate in the Rensis Likert scale questionnaire survey. Quantitative data were validated using tests for normality, kurtosis and skewness, homoscedasticity, multicollinearity, and prior power of the entire study model. The test findings were within acceptable limits. The multiple linear regression model results revealed that organisational structure, cost management, financial administration, institutional support, and own income generation all had positive coefficients, indicating a positive relationship with financial sustainability. A negative relationship was found between strategic planning and financial sustainability, implying that the more strategic planning procedures implemented, the worse the financial sustainability. The alternate hypothesis: Innovative financial resource mobilisation having no substantial effect on the financial sustainability of Zimbabwe's public universities, was accepted. It was concluded that the innovative financial resource mobilisation improved the financial sustainability of Zimbabwe's public universities.

Title A name given to the resource PUBLIC DEBT SERVICING IN ZIMBABWE: CHALLENGES AND IMPLICATIONS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource KEITH TICHAONA TASHU TAFADZWA MOYO Description An account of the resource Zimbabwe has been classified as being in debt distress and government debt has risen substantially from just over 48% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2013 to an estimated 82% in 2017. Large fiscal deficits experienced by the country have partly been the result of an elevated public wage bill, which continues to absorb more than 80% of revenue in the country. More so, the deficits have also been financed through an overdraft facility at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) bailouts of state-owned enterprises, and widespread mismanagement of public funds. Zimbabwe is officially burdened with public debt of approximately US$17.5 billion of which US$14.043 billion is external debt stock alongside ZWL$2.235 trillion worth of domestic debt. The total Public and Publicly Guaranteed (PPG) debt increased by 27.5% from 2021 figure of US$13.722 billion which is an unusual increase in a single year only. This research examines challenges associated with debt servicing in Zimbabwe as well as implications of unsustainable public debt. Some identified challenges exacerbating public debt include lack of compliance by the government with legislative provisions on borrowings, public debt defaults, misappropriated public debts and fragmented public debt institutional framework. High debt creates uncertainty, deterring investment and innovation, and has a negative impact on economic growth. Unsustainable debt burdens compel governments to spend more on debt servicing and less on public service delivery. It is therefore recommended that, the government needs to establish a clear legal and organisational framework on public debt, expand the revenue base and debts auditing.

Title A name given to the resource A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE MAIZE WAREHOUSING STRATEGIES ADOPTED IN ZIMBABWE, USA, BANGLADESH, ETHIOPIA, AND NIGERIA TO REDUCE MAIZE POST- HARVEST STORAGE LOSSES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DR EDDINE EDSON MUDYAZHEZHA PROF ROBERT MUSUNDIRE DR MICHAEL MUSANZIKWA Description An account of the resource The focus of this paper was to examine the warehousing strategies adopted in Zimbabwe to reduce maize post-harvest storage losses and compare them to those adopted by the United States of America (USA), Bangladesh, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. The aim was to draw valuable lessons for Zimbabwe to reduce maize post-harvest storage losses and ensure food security. Despite many schemes which have resulted in significant increase in maize productivity, the problem of food shortages especially for maize has persisted continually in Zimbabwe. Primary data was collected from 36 Grain Marketing Board of Zimbabwe (GMB) managers, Supervisors, and employees in all its ‘Class 1’ depots, Zimbabwe, the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Rural Development (MLAFWRD) and agricultural experts through in-depth interviews. Quota, purposive and snowball sampling methods were used to select the study participants. The study revealed that there was a huge difference in the maize warehousing strategies used in the USA, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Ethiopia and the strategies used in Zimbabwe in terms the responsibility for grain storage, grain storage methods, in- storage grain monitoring, grain post-harvest services, post-harvest grain storage training. The study concluded that Zimbabwe really needs to invest in maize warehousing in order to reduce post-harvest storage losses. The study recommended the participation of the private sector in maize storage in Zimbabwe, investment in hermetic storage, provision of maize drying services at all Grain Marketing Board depots, training of all maize handlers in Zimbabwe on effective maize storage practices and the establishment of post-harvest retail shops in all the 10 provinces in Zimbabwe Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Zimbabwe Journal of Business, Economics and Management Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 machine vision maize materials handling post-harvest losses storage storage technology warehousing https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/5c3bc0cfbc12815f9202eb9864180d51.pdf 2736ab1d1b4517dc7e4fd219f307c9db Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
