Abstract

Purpose: Growth strategies are essential for the survival of MFIs worldwide; however, this phenomenon has not been extensively researched, particularly in developed countries. Accordingly, this study aims to ascertain the effectiveness of the growth strategies used by Zimbabwean microfinance institutions to improve company performance. Research Methodology:  The study adopted a quantitative research approach using an explanatory research design. The target population was drawn from personnel at 10 registered microfinance institutions in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, from accounting, finance, marketing, operations, and business development. The targeted population total was 250, and the sample size was 152, using Krejcie and Morgan's sample size determination model. The study employed a stratified sampling technique, and the data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Results: Results showed that Digital innovation significantly affects the operational efficiency of MFIs. Funding diversification positively influences profitability. The results further show that an increased branch network positively affects the market share. Limitations: The current study's investigation of ten registered microfinance institutions within Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, restricts the generalizability of the findings to other contexts. Contributions: The findings of this study can influence policies and practices in Zimbabwe and other developing countries. The research will contribute massively to microfinance institutions, where they will be able to handle transactions, retain records, manage client databases, and enhance loan disbursement and repayment procedures.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the impact of board composition on the humanistic management performance of Zimbabwean State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs). This study examines four essential factors of board composition–board diversity, board tenure, board size, and board committees—to determine their influence on governance and performance in SOEs. Methods: A descriptive research design with an interpretative qualitative approach was adopted. Data were collected from Zimbabwe General Auditor Reports (2016-2022) and semi-structured interviews with 20 SOE directors. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and develop insights into the relationship between board composition and humanistic management performance. Results: The findings revealed that political interference, inadequate board evaluation, and the appointment of unqualified directors negatively affect board composition, limiting SOEs' ability to achieve humanistic management outcomes. Despite the existence of governance frameworks, these challenges hinder effective decision-making, transparency, and strategic alignment with humanistic management principles. Conclusions: The study concludes that board size does not affect the humanistic management performance of the board. Limitations: The study is limited to Zimbabwean SOEs, which may affect the generalizability of the findings to other developing economies. Additionally, reliance on qualitative methods introduces the possibility of subjective biases despite rigorous thematic analysis.    Contribution: This study recommends that Parliament Portfolio Committees strengthen their oversight role in board appointments to enhance governance and performance. It also advocates adopting a Humanistic Governance Framework to improve transparency, accountability, and efficiency while reducing corruption in Zimbabwean SOEs.
