Abstract

The study assesses the influence of governance on competence and partnership in university education in The Gambia using the situation as a mediating factor in a trilateral relationship. The study applied a questionnaire survey design using three universities as the study population. The PLS-SEM approach assesses the measurements and structural models. The study's findings established that governance significantly influences competence and partnership in university education in The Gambia. However, the situation as an environmental factor lacks the mediation capacity in the trilateral relationship. The study outcome shows differences, but only two were significantly contextual in relation to governance. The study recommends further research that adopts a qualitative approach to help provide a proper understanding of university governance in The Gambia.

Abstract

Research aim: This study aims to evaluate the Institutional Human Resources Challenges and Quality Assurance in Universities in The Gambia. Design/Methode/Approach: The study adopts a descriptive survey design, utilizing a mixed method approach involving the use of questionnaires (self-administered, online surveys, Google Forms) and conducting interviews. The sampling technique employed is proportional to size with a sample size of 248. Research Finding: The research findings reveal that there is adequate human resource capacity for quality assurance in universities in The Gambia. However, the findings also indicate inadequate financial resources in these universities to support quality assurance procedures. Furthermore, the research findings provide insights into how problems with institutional human resources affect the university systems selected to ensure the quality of higher education. Additionally, the study uncovers challenges in managing human resources at universities, including managing employee relations, retaining qualified workers, providing strong leadership support, fostering a positive work environment, promoting diversity and inclusion, and empowering university leaders. Theoretical contribution/Originality: The theoretical contribution of this study is to strengthen understanding of how human resource issues impact university capacity in ensuring effective quality assurance. Practitioner/Policy implication: The practical and policy implications of this study underscore the need for greater attention to human resource issues in Gambian universities to enhance the effectiveness of quality assurance processes. Research limitation: Limitations of this study include sample size constraints, limitations in the methodology employed, and geographic constraints in research coverage.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine cultural management at the University of The Gambia (UTG), focusing on institutional policies, management practices, and employees’ perceptions. The research explores how cultural diversity is understood within a higher education context and identifies both its challenges and benefits. A qualitative research design was employed to gain a deeper understanding of how cultural diversity is managed at UTG. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and open-ended questions administered to administrative and academic staff. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data and identify key themes related to cultural diversity and its management.The findings reveal that UTG has a culturally diverse workforce in terms of gender, age, educational background, and work experience. Cultural diversity was found to positively contribute to institutional effectiveness by enhancing problem-solving, creativity, decision-making, and cooperation among employees. However, several challenges were also identified, including language barriers, limited awareness of diversity-related policies, and discrepancies between management intentions and employees’ perceptions.The study highlights the need for improved communication, inclusive institutional policies, stronger human resource management practices, continuous training, and increased awareness of diversity management. These measures are essential for effectively managing cultural diversity in higher education institutions. This research contributes to the limited qualitative studies on cultural diversity management in higher education in The Gambia and provides practical insights for university administrators, stakeholders, and policymakers.
