    Establishing The Effect Of Investment Strategies On Wealth Creation In Uganda
    (International Journal of Advanced Research and Publications, 2020) Nuwatuhaire, Benard; Ainomugisha, Andrew
    The study was carried out to assess the effect of investing strategies on wealth creation in Uganda. Using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, the study adopted correlational and cross-sectional designs on a sample of 96 respondents. Data analysis was carried out at univariate, bivariate and multivariate. Univariate analysis involved use of percentages and descriptive statistics in particular the mean, bivariate was carried out using correlation and multivariate analysis was carried out using regression. The study found out that investment strategies had a significant positive effect on wealth creation. The investment strategies included investment in estates, company shares, income generating businesses, higher qualifications, business partnerships who provide profitable services. It was therefore concluded that Investment strategies which were made matched with the low wealth creation. The study recommended that employers both in private sector and public civil services should enhance the remuneration of employees such that they have some money to spare for investment in order to generate wealth, the government of Uganda should help to train the people in investment, and policy makers in Uganda should design policies that encourage investment to help people create wealth.

    (International Journal of Advanced Research and Publications, 2019) Nuwatuhaire, Benard; Ainomugisha, Andrew
    The study was carried out to assess the effect of savings strategies on wealth creation in Uganda. Using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, the study adopted correlational and cross-sectional designs on a sample of 96 respondents. Data analysis was carried out at univariate, bivariate and multivariate. Univariate analysis involved use of percentages and descriptive statistics in particular the mean, bivariate was carried out using correlation and multivariate analysis was carried out using regression. The study found out that savings strategies did not significantly affect wealth creation. The study also found out that gender, education level, working experience, monthly income and family background were statistically positive significant factors affecting wealth creation. It was therefore concluded that whereas savings strategies did not influence wealth creation, five personal savings factors namely, gender, education level, working experience, monthly income and family background did. The study recommended that employers both in private sector and public civil services should enhance the remuneration of employees, the government of Uganda should ensure saving training programme and policy makers should design policies that encourage savings to help people create wealth.

    This study sought to establish whether stakeholder participation in planning, influenced road transport sector performance of Bushenyi District Local government in Uganda. The study adopted a cross-sectional design using both quantitative and qualitative research approaches on a sample of 112 respondents. Quantitative data involved the use of descriptive statistics particularly frequencies, percentages and the mean. Inferential analysis methods were correlation and regression. Findings revealed that stakeholder participation in planning was good but road transport sector performance was moderate. Therefore, it was concluded that stakeholder participation in planning is a necessary requirement for road transport sector performance but stakeholder participation is not the most probable requirement for road transport but feedback as well. Thus, it was recommended that stakeholder participation in planning should be made apriority in implementation of road transport sector projects to enhance performance of road transport sector; and stakeholder feedback should be encouraged for performance of road transport sector.

    Organisational Structure and Employee Commitment of Academic Staff in a Private University in Uganda
    (Journal of Humanities and Social Science, 2019) Mugizi, Wilson; Nuwatuhaire, Benard; Turyamureeba, Silaji
    This study analysed the relationship between organisational structure (OS) and employee commitment (EC) of academic staff. The aspects of OS that were related to EC were formalisation, centralisation and complexity. This correlational and cross-sectional study was carried out on 145 academic staff of a branch of a private university in Uganda using a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive analysis, Factor Analysis, Cronbach alpha (α) tests and correlation analysis were carried out. Descriptive analysis revealed that affective commitment of academic staff was high while continuance and normative commitment were moderate. However, the EC index of academic staff indicated that it was moderate. The study also revealed that while implementation of organisational formalisation (OF) and centralisation (OC) was high, for organisational complexity (OX) it was moderate. Factor analysis and Cronbach alpha (α) tests revealed that the items measuring both EC and OS subscales were valid and reliable measures. Correlation analysis revealed a weak positive but significant relationship between OF and OC with EC but for OX it was insignificant. It was concluded that EC of academic staff in private universities in Uganda was a challenge, organisational formalisation was pertinent to promotion of EC but centralisation and complexity were not. It was thus recommended that there should be effective implementation of formalisation in the universities. However, organisational centralisation and complexity may not be over emphasised.

    (International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology, 2019) Mugizi, Wilson; Nuwatuhaire, Benard
    This study investigated the influence of recruitment and selection on employee commitment (EC) of university academic staff in a private University in Uganda. A total of 132 academic staff completed a questionnaire survey. The findings of the study revealed that EC was moderate as well and recruitment and selection. Regression analysis revealed that recruitment had a negative and insignificant influence on EC but selection had a moderate positive and significant influence on EC. Therefore, it was concluded that EC was a challenge, recruitment practices were not pertinent as far as promoting EC was concerned but selection practices were applicable to the promotion of EC. It was thus recommended that Directorates of Human Resources should improve implementation of the recruitment and selection processes.
