Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the role of resources, capabilities, entrepreneurial orientation, and stewardship on the performance of family-owned manufacturing businesses in Uganda to establish how a firm can identify the rare and valuable resources that simultaneously enable better performance levels and competitive advantage. Research Design & Methods: A qualitative study with 15 participants from six family manufacturing businesses using interviews. The transcribed data was analysed and grouped into themes. Findings: General management skills, financial management, marketing management, and technology benefits are key resources and capabilities that enhance the smooth operations of the family manufacturing businesses and play are pivotal in achieving better performance and sustainability. Secondly, it was found that proactiveness, risk management, and continuous evaluation and appraisals of their performance were practised among family-owned manufacturing businesses. Thirdly, decision-making systems and lines of authority, enabling them to constantly analyse market trends and know about competitors were in place. Lastly, although there are supporting programmes for the manufacturing industries to help family-owned manufacturing businesses acquire start-up resources and import raw materials, there still needs to be more consistency in implementing such support programmes in Uganda. Implications & Recommendations: Family business owners should embrace proactivity, risk management, and continuous evaluation and appraisals of business performance. Furthermore, a review of current government policies, particularly those about industry financing and labour management, is recommended. Contribution & Value Added: The study was the first attempt to examine the performance of family-owned manufacturing businesses in Uganda. An improved framework was developed for their entrepreneurial success.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the value of the impact generated from CSR programs on the implementation of Superman Sumanding's social innovation. In this approach, the program's effect has an essential meaning for the program's beneficiaries, namely the farming community groups in Sumanding Village. Research Design & Methods: This study used Social Return on Investment (SROI) as a research methodology. This research was conducted on the beneficiaries of the Superman Sumanding program and has considered all stakeholders directly or indirectly involved in the program. The research informants were 37, with details of 17 members of the Sumanding Village 'Guyub Rukun' Farmer Group and the Sumanding Village 'Karya Mukti' Peasant Women's Group of 20 people. Findings: The results show the SROI value of IDR9.19:1. This means that the CSR program carried out has been able to provide benefits of 9.19 times greater than the value of the inputs invested. The results showed that the CSR program run by PT PLN UIK TJB produced social returns on investment and provided economic, social, and environmental benefits. Implications & Recommendations: SROI as a solution that changes the mindset of investment analysis is based on outcomes rather than just outputs. A sound output does not necessarily deliver as expected, as focusing on the outcome will provide a better and more comprehensive perspective. The results of the SROI analysis become the basis for improving the planning of subsequent CSR programs. Contribution & Value Added: This study allows us to expand the evidence of the critical role of social innovation for peasant community groups, but so far, little studied and areas of application of SROI as an assessment methodology.

Abstract

Objective: HRBPs working in the State-owned entity (SOE) industry face a few challenges that inhibit them from being true partners to senior management teams. This research concentrated on whether coaching skills could be included in the Human Resource Business Partner (HRBP) competency model and assist HRBPS in their engagement with senior managers. Research Design & Methods: A qualitative research design was selected to gain insights from the perspectives of HRBPs employed in SOEs in Gauteng, South Africa. All participants had over two years of relevant HRBP experience and participated in a semi-structured interview to solicit their perspectives. The data was consequently analysed using thematic analysis. Findings: The key findings are that the SOE industry is complex to navigate due to the high levels of red tape and capacity constraints. The benefits of coaching, which include enhanced levels of organisational performance and leadership self-awareness, will be achieved in the engagement between HRBPs and senior managers. Furthermore, additional training of all HRBPs on the proposed coaching skills was supported as it was found to be a probable solution to re-position HRBPs as strategic business partners. Contribution & Value Added: This paper positions coaching as a central skill for HRBPs, specifically in the SOE environment in South Africa, by combining two leading competency frameworks, the Ulrich and GSAEC competency frameworks. Although HR is an established field, coaching is relatively emerging with limited frameworks for the profession. This paper addresses the need for guiding frameworks where the two professions intersect.

Abstract

Objective: This study sought to examine the influence of recruitment and selection on performance of SACCOS in Tanzania. Research Design & Methods: The study used a quantitative approach. Data collection was done using self-administered questionnaires to collect data from 231 HR Managers (or their equivalent) in Tanzania SACCOS with a specific focus on the Dar es Salaam region. Simple random sampling technique was used to sample the respondents. Questionnaires were distributed to the respondents who were asked to fill correct and relevant information. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Findings: The study found a significant positive relationship between recruitment methods and SACCOS performance, selection criteria and SACCOS performance, and selection process and SACCOS performance. Further, workforce diversity had a significant moderating effect on the relationship between recruitment and selection and SACCOS performance. Implications & Recommendations: The use of effective recruitment and selection practices is capable of enhancing performance of SACCOS in Tanzania. Diversified workforce in SACCOS is capable of moderating the relationship between recruitment and selection and SACCOS performance. The study recommends the use of best practices in recruiting employees in SACCOS and ensures workforce diversity is embraced in these organizations for an improved organizational performance. Contribution & Value Added: The study extends the literature on the influence of recruitment and selection practices on organisational performance with specific reference to Tanzania SACCOS something that the existed body of knowledge missed. As per the reviewed literature, this is the first study to examine the influence of recruitment and selection on performance of SACCOS in Tanzania.

Abstract

Objective: To understand the entrepreneurial identity, through the lived experience of female entrepreneurs who are familiar with the phenomenon. This objective was premised on understanding that entrepreneurial identity is a product of context which shapes the social-cultural norms and environment within which individuals, operate and construct their identity. This is captured in entrepreneurship scholarship where the discipline is still struggling to build a reliable definition of female entrepreneurship applicable to both developed and developing countries and its effect on their respective economies. Research Design & Methods: This study used a qualitative research design that followed a phenomenological approach with thirty five female entrepreneurs, utilising semi structured in depth individual meetings. Findings: Female entrepreneurs build, balance, and manage a wide range of entrepreneurial ventures of varying sizes across sectors while maintain both role and social identities. Female entrepreneurs also express strong views on earning returns and income to not only grow their business but support their employees, communities, themselves, and their families. Implications & Recommendations: This study generated five themes that should be researched quantitatively to determine further understanding of entrepreneurship and developing other entrepreneurs in developing countries. Contribution & Value Added: The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on entrepreneurship in entrepreneurial identity, by exploring the female entrepreneur as both a role and identity. It examines this through the perspective of role identity and learn how female entrepreneurs consider their role as an entrepreneur.
