Abstract
This study explores the influence of institutional management practices on student discipline in Ugandan universities, focusing on Makerere University and Kampala International University. A qualitative approach, guided by interpretivism, pragmatism, and constructivism, was employed to understand how management practices shape student behaviour. Using a descriptive case study design, data were collected through focus groups, interviews, document reviews, and observations from a diverse group of 40 participants, including students, lecturers, administrators, and police officers. Thematic analysis revealed that factors such as administrative transparency, accessible services, orientation programs, and consistent timetabling highly influenced student responsibility, compliance, and honesty. The study highlights the importance of student-centric management practices in fostering a disciplined academic environment. Despite limitations in scope, the study provides valuable insights into the role of institutional management in enhancing student discipline and contributes to ongoing discourses in higher education governance
