Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between personal savings and household investments among a cohort of primary school teachers in lira city. Research methodology: The study used a cross-sectional survey design with a quantitative research approach. Data were collected from a sample of 103 respondents with the period between October 2020 and January 2021 using self-administered questionnaires. The Content Validity Index was used to establish validity, while the Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient was used to test reliability. Results: Using descriptive and inferential statistics, the results suggest that civil servants' personal financial planning is high due to personal savings. Also, the level of household investment is high and the correlation reveals that the relationship between private savings and household investment is very weak and negative. Limitations: This study focused on personal savings only, yet other constructs affect household investments. Contribution: This study's results help civil servants in Lira city and Uganda in general since personal savings are an essential factor to household investments. Keywords: Personal savings, Household investment, Primary teacher, Financial planning, Lira

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the level of personnel resources, financial capacity, administrative capability and political support in Hoima district local government in mid-western Uganda. Research Methodology: A descriptive survey of 194 respondents comprising of elected local councillors and technical officials were randomly selected from Hoima district. Four issues were investigated, namely personnel resources, financial capacity, administrative capability and political support. SPSS (version 15) was used for data analysis. A total of 164 respondents took part in the study. Results: Policy implementation at local governments in Uganda was moderate; this was manifested in terms of personnel resources, financial capacity, administrative capability and political support, which, if each of them can be improved, the degree of policy implementation will improve. Financial and non-financial factors both need to be improved for achieving a preferred level of policy implementation at local governments. Limitations: This study zeroed on policy implementation alone and yet a number of issues affecting policy implementation may not necessarily originate from it but from policy formulation, which was never covered. Contribution: This study highlights the four aspects in policy implementation, viz. personnel resources, financial resources, administrative capability, and political support; these are very significant to policy managers at grass root government. Hoima district is encouraged to consider all four aspects for effective policy implementation.
