    (East African Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, 2020) Anyango, Mary; Kamaduuka, Regis Zombeire; Kaahwa, Goretti
    The study aimed at establishing the influence of human resource practices on quality assurance among secondary school teachers in the central region of Uganda. It was guided by the objective of establishing the relationship between on-job training, off-job training, and promotions on quality assurance among teachers in the central region of Uganda. It was a desktop content review of literature journal articles and research dissertations that was thematically analysed. The findings obtained showed that to a great extent, the provision of on-job training, off-job training and promotions to teachers enhances the quality assurance in secondary schools. Thus, it was concluded that the professional development of teachers is a critical aspect that all administrators should not neglect. Consequently, it was recommended that junior teachers should be assigned to senior teachers who should act as coaches, supervisors and mentors. Also, off-job training policies should be developed to enhance teachers’ teaching skills and once trained; the teachers have to be promoted.

    (East African Journal of Business and Economics, 2023) Begumisa, Innocent; Kamaduuka, Regis Zombeire; Mubiru, Pontious; Kizza, James
    This study examined the effect of remote working adoption strategies on employee performance at MTN (U) Ltd during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the study analyses the effect of flexible work schedules, technology accessibility and remote worker motivation on employee performance in remote working at MTN Uganda. The study adopted a descriptive research design, employing quantitative and qualitative research approaches. Quantitative data was collected from a sample of 89 respondents using questionnaires, and qualitative data was collected from 5 key informants using interviews. Data was analysed using Pearson's correlation and regression analysis with the help of Statistical Packages for Social Scientists (SPSS version 25). The study finds a significant positive relationship between flexible working schedules and employee performance (r = 0.594, p = 0.000); technology accessibility and employee performance (r =0.616, p = 0.000); and remote worker motivation and employee performance (r=0.273, p=0.010). The explanatory variables jointly explain 57.3% of the variations in employee performance in remote working at MTN (U) (R-squared = 0.573; p<0.000). It is recommended that MTN (U) Ltd and other telecom companies improve the flexibility of their work as one way to enable employees to adopt remote working during periods of crisis such as pandemics and epidemics. This is to enable continuous workflow. There is a need to invest in technology and make it accessible to all employees, and create motivation packages such as fringe benefits that seek to motivate employees working remotely to enable them to embrace remote working and improve their performance
