Credit terms, managerial competencies and loan repayment performance among microfinance institutions in Kampala district
(Makerere University Business School, Uganda, 2024-10-31) Kibesi Abdul
The purpose of this study was to ascertain how Kampala's Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs)' lending terms, managerial competences, and loan repayment performance related to one another. A cross-sectional research design was adopted for this study. In order to minimise bias and provide all institutions with equal chances of being included in the study, the researcher used simple random sampling to choose an MFI, choosing 42 out of 47. Given the nature of the research questions and objectives, multiple regression was used to assess each independent variable's predictive power in explaining loan repayment performance of MFIs in the Kampala District, while Pearson correlation was used to test their associations. The results show that among Kampala's microfinance institutions, credit terms and managerial competencies had a positive and substantial link with loan payback performance.

Determinants of renewable energy consumption in Uganda
(Makerere University Business School, Kampala, Uganda, 2024-11-04) Ayoku Emmanuel
Globally, renewable energy has gained significant attention as nations strive to increase its share in their energy mixes to mitigate environmental challenges and address the pressing issue of climate change. This study investigates the determinants of renewable energy consumption in Uganda, focusing on GDP per capita, carbon dioxide emissions, access to electricity, trade openness, and human development index. Utilizing a longitudinal research design with time series and quantitative approaches, we analyze data from the World Bank database covering 1990 to 2020. using the STATA statistical package. The analysis reveals both short-run and long-run relationships between Renewable energy consumption (Rec) and various factors, including GDP per capita (Gdp pc), Carbon dioxide emissions (Co2), Access to electricity (AE), Human Development Index (HDI), and Trade openness (TO).

Organizational factors, ICT infrastructure and implementation of electronic-procurement projects: a case study of local government in west Nile
(Makerere University Business School Institutional Repository, 2020-12-21) Alwayo Flavia Bella
The study was conducted to examine the relationship between organizational factors, ICT infrastructure and implementation of e-procurement projects in West Nile local governments. The study sought to determine the extent e-procurement projects implementation is attributed to organizational factors and ICT infrastructure. The study used a cross sectional survey design where 144 usable questionnaires were used to collect the data and was analyzed using SPSS version 25. Pearson correlation and regression analysis were used to determine the degree of relationship between organizational factors, ICT infrastructure and implementation of e-procurement projects in West Nile local governments. Findings of the study revealed a significant positive relationship between organizational factors, ICT infrastructure and implementation of e-procurement projects. The regression analysis results show that organizational factors and ICT infrastructure predicts 47.4% of the observed variance in e-procurement project implementation. This implies that there are other predictors of eprocurement implementation besides organizational factors and ICT infrastructure; thus, further research is called for to find the other predictors of e-procurement project implementation in addition to what is already in place.

An examination of project scope creep management in ministry of water and environment headquarters construction project.
(Makerere University Business School Institutional Repository, 2018-11-16) Katalihwa Ann Marunga
In the construction sector, high rates for occurrence of scope creep encountered by construction projects have been an issue of concern from policy makers and academic scholars alike. Global statistics indicate that by the time most projects are completed, the actual cost exceeds the original contract price by about 40% or more. Ugandan construction projects have not been spared either with cases of scope creep occurrence are wide spread especially among public construction projects. This study therefore sought to examine scope creep management within the Ministry of Water and Environment Headquarters’ construction project. Specifically, the study intended to analyze causes of scope creep, examine the features of scope creep and suggest ways to manage scope creep in the Ministry of Water and Environment. The study applied a cross sectional research design with a sample size of 127 respondents and quantitative research approach was employed. Descriptive statistics using mean and standard deviation techniques were obtained with the help of SPSS (v20). Validity and reliability of the data collection instrument were both tested using content validity index and Cronbach’s α coefficient ensuring that all variables had α coefficients
of 0.70 or more. In addition, expert judgment was obtained and statements that were not clear were modified to minimize ambiguity and inconsistencies.
