Abstract

Introduction: The right to fair hearing is one of the principles of natural justice that is constitutionally provided for in Tanzania. Number of principal and subsidiary legislations have been enacted to promote the right to fair hearing in employment proceedings. Despite the legal protection, disciplinary proceedings related to misconduct have been persistently decided without affording the accused the right to a fair hearing.Purposes of the Research: The study aimed at examining the gap that exists between the law protecting the right to fair hearing and the actual practice in organisations.Methods of the Research: The study made use of library and field research. Data was collected by using documentary review to collect data from legal documents and published material. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from 14 respondents obtained from one of local government authorities in Tanzania.Results of the Research: The study found that existing law have established standards that are capable of promoting the right to fair hearing in disciplinary proceedings. Further, the study observed that there is a gap between law and practice when it comes to promoting the right to fair hearing in disciplinary proceedings related to misconduct. The gap has to do with failure to adequately comply with procedural fairness during hearing. As per the reviewed literature this is the first study to examine the gap between law and practice relating the right to fair hearing with focus on disciplinary proceedings related to misconduct.

Abstract

Purpose- This study aimed at examining the role of green human resource management practices on environmental performance. Four green HR practices were involved. These practices include green recruitment and selection, green training and development, green performance management and green compensation management. It further aimed at examining the mediating effect of perceived organisational support toward the environment on the relationship between green HR practices and environmental performance. Design/Methodology- The study used a case study design. Quantitative approach was used through which data was collected using a questionnaire from 198 out of 220 respondents expected which accounts for 90% response rate. Data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings- The study found green recruitment and selection, green training and development, green performance management and green compensation management have significant positive impact on environmental performance. Moreover, perceived organisational support toward the environment was found to have significant effect on the relationship between each green HR practice and environmental performance. The study stresses the need for organisations through their respective management teams to play a supportive role in promoting green HR practices to enhance environmental performance.Practical Implications- Human resource management practices have potential in enhancing environmental performance of organisations. This could be done through integrating green practices with human resource management practices and providing organisational support toward green initiatives.

Abstract

This study aimed at assessing the use of artificial intelligence in academic writing by identifying ethical and unethical practices in the use of the technology. Ethics in academic writing has to do with principles and practices which academics have to apply and use to promote honesty and integrity in preparation and dissemination of their scholarly works. The study used qualitative research that uses in-depth interviews to collect data from academicians working in three higher learning institutions in Tanzania. A total of 17 academicians were sampled with the use of purposive sampling technique. A sample size of 17 was determined by the saturation principle.  Thematic analysis was used to analyze collected data. The study identified seven ethical practices which are brainstorming research ideas, identifying relevant models/frameworks/theories, reading concepts generated by AI, editing and proofreading, data analysis and translation. Three unethical practices were identified which include not acknowledging the use of AI, overreliance on AI and using AI to fabricate data. The line between ethical and unethical practices is drawn by considering the extent to which AI assisted a researcher in writing academic documents. This extent may be determined by examining whether what AI did in a particular academic work could have been done by asking for assistance from a natural person and whether what AI did could have been done by any other technology which is acceptable in academic writing. The study recommends various measures to be undertaken to avoid malpractices in academic writing.
