Abstract

This study investigated the effect of the directive and non-directive school inspection approaches on teacher instructional effectiveness. While teacher instructional effectiveness was studied in terms of reporting on pupil academic achievements, teacher attitudes, effective planning, attendance and pedagogical approaches, the directive School inspection approach was studied in terms of directing and evaluation of teacher knowledge yet the non-directive approach was studied in terms of team planning and consultations. A cross-sectional survey mixed research design using the quantitative and qualitative approaches on a sample of 178 people namely teachers, head teachers, school inspectors and education officers was adopted. While quantitative data was collected using survey questionnaires and analysed using inferential analysis, qualitative data was collected through interviews, focus group discussions and analysed by grouping the responses in themes which were merged with quantitative findings. The findings showed that all the attributes of directive inspection approach were positively insignificant to teacher instructional effectiveness explaining that they had no impact on teacher instructional effectiveness. Similarly, team planning had a positive and insignificant relationship meaning that it had no effect on teacher instructional effectiveness. In conclusion, only team planning had effect on teacher instructional effectiveness and consultation did not have any effect. It was recommended that school inspectors should use the non-directive inspection approach because of sub-variable team planning that had a positive effect on teacher instructional effectiveness.

The findings showed that all the sub-variables of the collaborative school inspection approach were positively significant to teacher instructional effectiveness. It was concluded that the collaborative school inspection approach has impact, on teacher instructional effectiveness.

Abstract

Organisational effectiveness is critical for universities as it enhances stakeholder satisfaction, improves employee relations, streamlines business processes, promotes learning and development, and contributes to overall institutional success. However, achieving organisational effectiveness has remained a significant challenge for public universities in Uganda. This study examined the influence of communication on organisational effectiveness, focusing on how communication structure, flow, climate, and message characteristics influenced organisational effectiveness. The study adopted the quantitative approach; hence, a correlational research design was employed in this study. The study focused on a sample of 231 university managers, which included a diverse group of both academic and administrative leaders from four public universities in Uganda. The carefully selected study participants represented the various levels of management within the institutions, ensuring a comprehensive perspective on the role of communication in organisational effectiveness. The data were gathered using self-administered questionnaires capturing detailed information on various aspects of communication, including structure, flow, climate, and message characteristics, and organisational effectiveness in terms of productivity, adaptability, and flexibility. The findings from the descriptive analysis revealed that while organisational effectiveness was moderate, communication levels were high. The PLS-SEM results showed that communication structure, flow, and climate had a significant positive effect on organisational effectiveness. The study concluded that a well-defined communication structure is essential for effective organisational effectiveness, effective communication flow involving smooth information exchange is crucial for organisational effectiveness, and an organisational climate that fosters effective information exchange is essential for organizational effectiveness. Therefore, university managers should focus on creating a clear communication structure, ensuring the smooth flow of information, and cultivating a conducive communication climate to promote organisational effectiveness. The implication of this study is that it underscores the importance of a well-defined communication structure, effective communication flow, and positive communication climate as essential components that can significantly enhance organisational effectiveness in universities.
