Abstract

The study focused on the impact of autonomy and decision making on the morale and motivation of TVET college lecturers in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The study also exposed the autonomy and decision-making factors affecting the lecturers and it gave possible ways to minimise the negative impact on the teaching and learning programmes of the colleges. The research sample comprised of 40 female and male participants whose ages ranged from 25 to 60 years and were drawn from two randomly selected colleges. The study followed a mixed methods approach where both questionnaire and interview instruments were used to collect data giving rise to both qualitative and quantitative data respectively. The findings uncovered that autonomy and decision making among lecturers is negatively affecting lecturers’ morale and motivation. Factors that are making autonomy and decision-making problematic include participation prohibition, leadership restrictions and reduced self-reliance at work.

Abstract

This study explores the contribution of refugee entrepreneurship (RE) to South Africa's economy, a topic that remains under-researched despite the critical role these entrepreneurs play in job creation and employment. Employing a quantitative research approach, data were collected from 197 purposively selected participants through self-administered questionnaires. The data was analysed using SPSS and AMOS statistical software. The findings reveal that networks significantly contribute to business success by providing access to crucial resources, such as financing and market information. Refugee entrepreneurs leverage these, networks to overcome business challenges, receive financial support, and expand their entrepreneurial ventures. Additionally, bulk buying strategies reduce operational costs and enhance profitability. The study’s results also highlight the role of refugee businesses in filling gaps in underserved markets, as well as fostering collaboration with South African businesses, leading to the creation of jobs for local citizens. This research underscores the economic dynamism, job creation, and market diversification that refugee entrepreneurs contribute to South Africa's economy, emphasising their role as an essential driver of inclusive growth and economic stability in host countries.

Abstract

This was a case study that used a quantitative research approach to gauge educators’ perspectives on how management engages them in continuing professional teachers’ development (CPTD) in private family business schools (PFBSS). The study is set against the background that educators need to be engaged in their jobs for students to excel. However, literature suggests that engagement levels of educators are low in South Africa. A notable reason amongst them is the lack of CPTD. This ensures that schools provide education as a core building block in making South Africa a successful country. Without good schools that prepare young people for the world of work, the problems South Africa faces will remain intractable. Poor results impact the non-actualisation of the Millennium Development Goals, Sustainable Development Goals, National Development Plan, and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. This study examines the link between school-level support and engagement. This is an area that has received little attention in South Africa. The study utilised a non-experimental research design and a positivist paradigm to collect data through structured questionnaires and test the hypothesis using inferential statistics and non-parametric analysis techniques. The study revealed that CPTD predicts engagement levels of educators in PFBSS. The study recommended that educators should be exposed to CPTD sessions often to capacitate them. The study concluded that management in PFBSS should not ignore the human resources development aspect of CPTD.
