Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the connection between Kabale District Local Government (KLDG) staff retention and organizational performance. Research Methodology: A correlational study design with the goal of reporting on the connection between staff retention and organizational performance in the local government of the Kabale District. A sample size of 96 respondents was chosen from among the 142 division personnel and staff in the sub-counties that participated in the survey. A survey consisting of questionnaires and interviews was conducted to gather data. Results: The degree and intensity of the association between employee retention and organizational performance were determined using a correlation analysis. Qualitative data derived from interviews were documented and categorized verbatim. When the influence of the work environment was considered, the study discovered a very weak link between employee retention and organizational performance. Limitations: This study was conducted to cover employee retention and employee performance in one district, and the results cannot be generalized. Contribution: The study suggests that the Kabale District Local Government (KCLG) needs to make improvements to its workplace to encourage staff members to remain with the institution. The district should follow established protocols, including local government, public financial management, and public service standing orders.   An independent investigation of the contribution of policy execution to the achievement of organizational objectives in Ugandan local governments is also warranted.

Abstract

Purpose: The study examined the importance of internal control systems in financial accountability in Lira District Local Government, Uganda. Specifically, the study determined the importance of control activities, control environment, and monitoring of controls on financial accountability. Research methodology: A correlational design to establish the relationships between internal control systems and financial accountability, and regression analysis to explain the importance of internal controls on financial accountability were adopted. Results: Internal control systems account for 55.4% of the variations in financial accountability. Specifically, control environment and monitoring controls bear significant effects on financial accountability while control activities do not. Contribution: This is one of the original studies to assess Lira District Local Government. The study validates the contingent theory and extends its application in public administration. Limitations: The input of stakeholders from the community was ignored. Future researchers should consider investigating the role of community participation on the performance of district local governments in Uganda.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined how working capital management and accounts receivables influence the performance of SMEs in Uganda and proposes policy options to address the financial and managerial challenges identified. The study provides insights into how efficient financial practices can support SME sustainability in a competitive business environment. Research Methodology: A cross-sectional research design was adopted to assess the existing conditions of working capital management and accounts receivable practices. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire distributed to 180 SMEs selected for the study. Inferential statistical techniques were applied during data analysis to test the research hypotheses, and several hypothesis tests were conducted to form a sound basis for interpretation and conclusion. Results: The findings indicate that improvements in working capital management significantly enhance SME performance. Similarly, better accounts receivable practices—such as offering discounts and regularly reviewing credit policies—can contribute to improved financial outcomes. The results show that both working capital management and accounts receivables are significant predictors of SME performance. Conclusions: SMEs that adopt sound working capital and receivables management strategies can thrive even in challenging business environments. Effective financial management also reduces the need for borrowed capital, enabling SMEs to operate more efficiently and sustainably. Limitations: The study was geographically limited to Lira City, which may restrict the applicability of findings to broader contexts. Contribution: The study provides important guidance for SME owners and policymakers on how working capital and receivables management practices influence enterprise performance.
