Technological, organizational, and environmental factors on the technology readiness of humanitarian organizations for digital cash assistance

(Makerere University Business School, 2025-11-14) Leeke, Samuel

This study aimed to explore the relationship between technology factors, organizational factors, environmental factors, and the technology readiness of humanitarian organizations. A sample size of 165 humanitarian organizations in Kampala was targeted, and complete responses were received from 55 organizations, resulting in an 84.6% response rate. The study employed a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. The objectives were to assess the relationship between technology factors and technology readiness, examine the relationship between organizational factors and technology readiness, and determine the relationship between environmental factors and technology readiness. The findings highlighted the importance of contextual factors in shaping technology readiness. Based on the positive results from the regression analysis, several recommendations were made to enhance technology readiness in humanitarian organizations. These recommendations included focusing on contextual factors that include strengthening government support, addressing competitive pressure, fostering external partnerships, and engaging local communities. By paying attention to these recommendations, humanitarian organizations can enhance their technology readiness and effectively leverage digital cash-based assistance to support their missions and deliver aid more efficiently and effectively. This research contributes to the understanding of the factors influencing technology readiness in the humanitarian sector and provides practical insights for organizations seeking to improve their technological capabilities.

(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.
