The study reveals that leadership styles of managers and supervisors highly influence the organizational effectiveness.

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of the human factor (HF), organizational justice and the interaction between the two on individual employees' perceptions of the effectiveness with which their organizations undertake activities in two sub-Saharan African countries.Design/methodology/approach– Survey data were collected from two samples containing public sector and private sector organizations from two sub-Saharan African economies – Ghana (n=158) and Uganda (n=208). Hierarchical regression analysis was utilized to analyze the survey data from the two countries separately.Findings– The HF dimensions of moral capital and human capabilities, and organizational justice were related to individual employees' perceptions of the effectiveness of their organizations in both studies. In particular, higher perceptions of organizational justice at the workplace enhanced the impact of the HF dimensions of moral capital and human capabilities on individual employees' perceptions of the effectiveness with which their organizations perform activities.Practical implications– Organizations in sub-Saharan Africa should emphasize the development of the HF qualities that focus on moral capital and the utilization and application of the knowledge, skills and abilities embedded in employees at the workplace. In particular, moral capital could play a critical role in ameliorating counter-productive attitudes and behaviors such as shirking, bribery and corruption in organizations. Moreover organizations in sub-Saharan Africa can improve their effectiveness by developing fair decision-making procedures and interactions between management/supervisors and subordinates.Originality/value– The study provides the first empirical investigation of the link between the HF and perceived effectiveness of organizations, and how organizational justice moderates this relationship in a sub-Saharan African environment.

In the face of increased accountability pressures, nonprofits are searching for ways to demonstrate their effectiveness. Because meaningful tools to evaluate effectiveness are largely absent, financial ratios are still the main indicators used to approximate it. However, there is an extensive body of literature on determinants of nonprofit effectiveness. In this study, we test the extent to which these assertions in the literature align with practitioner views. To increase the practical value of our comparative exercise, we create a self-assessment survey on the basis of the practices that find support in both academia and practice. This provides managers with a tool to assess the extent to which the identified practices are present in their organizations and with suggestions, which might lead to improvements in their effectiveness. Intermediaries can use the tool to provide better information to donors. Funders can use it in their selection of grantees, and capacity-building efforts.

This paper examined the level of students' participation in governance of Universities. It also investigated the level of organizational effectiveness in the universities in Nigeria. The population of the study consists of all students in Federal and State Universities in Ekiti and Ondo State of Nigeria. The sample for the study was 510 subjects consisting of 400 students and 110 University administrators. The respondents were selected using stratified random sampling technique. The instruments tagged Students' Participation in University Governance Questionnaire (SPUGQ) and Organizational Effectiveness Questionnaire [OEQ] was used to elicit relevant information from the respondents. Frequency count, percentage and t-test statistics were used to analyze the data collected. The findings revealed that students' participation in University governance was low while organization effectiveness was moderate. The result showed that there was significant difference in students' participation in governance in Federal and State Universities. Students in Federal Universities participated more in the governance than students in State Universities. Finding also revealed that there was significant difference in Organizational effectiveness of Federal and State Universities. The Organization effectiveness of Federal University is higher than the State Universities. It was recommended that stakeholders in University education should ensure that students are more involved in the governance of their institutions. Also introduction of seminars and workshops on leadership training would enhance organizational effectiveness in the Universities. DOI:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n9p400

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide empirical evidence regarding the relationship between the level of comprehensiveness of a performance measurement system (PMS) and its respective organizational effectiveness. The extant literature has highlighted that a PMS may successfully contribute to the implementation of the organizational strategy, with the balanced scorecard (BSC) serving as an exemplar of a strategy performance management tool and playing a primary role to this end. However, the reasons for the overall high rate of failure in the implementation of the BSC remain unexplained and, to date, little empirical research exists regarding the design of PMSs such as the BSC and its constituent elements.Design/methodology/approachUsing a survey of 103 Italian managers, the paper advances a model describing a comprehensive BSC design, after identifying the key attributes from the performance management literature. Data were analyzed using cluster analysis and multiple regression analysis.FindingsResults suggest that organizations are implementing the BSC following two different approaches, which vary from a less comprehensive to a more comprehensive design. More importantly, the BSC design explains variation across three organizational effectiveness measures: improvements in translating the organizational strategy into operational goals, understanding cause–effect relationships and enhancing internal communication among employees.Originality/valueThe paper builds on and extends the previous literature on performance management in two ways. First, via a literature review, it introduces a model describing a comprehensive BSC design, which includes 12 attributes. Second, it demonstrates that organizational effectiveness varies positively with the level of comprehensiveness of the BSC design.
