The Role of Recruitment and Selection on Organisational Performance: A Case of National Housing Corporation in Tanzania
Authors: Minja Lilian
Published: October 2024

This study examines the role of recruitment and selection practices on organisational performance at Tanzania's National Housing Corporation (NHC). Employing a descriptive research design, the study targeted all 76 employees at NHC headquarters across various departments, using census sampling to ensure comprehensive data collection and eliminate bias. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires with closed-ended questions measured on a five-point Likert scale. Analysis involved both descriptive statistics (percentages, frequency distributions, mean, and standard deviations) and inferential statistics (correlation) to examine relationships between independent variables (recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal) and dependent variable (NHC's organisational performance). Findings reveal that recruitment and selection at NHC play a critical role on organisational performance. NHC has a well-communicated recruitment policy with high employee awareness and involvement. Internal advertising of new positions is common, supporting talent retention and growth opportunities. While job applicants generally receive adequate information, some inconsistencies exist. The recruitment process is perceived as transparent, though improvements are possible. NHC is seen as an equal-opportunity employer, but reinforcement is needed in some areas. Employees feel reasonably included in the selection process, which is merit-based with clearly defined criteria. Selected candidates generally fit well with the organisational culture. However, inclusiveness in selection could be enhanced. Recommendations include improving recruitment policy communication, increasing employee engagement, strengthening internal advertising, reinforcing equal opportunity practices, maintaining merit-based selection, ensuring cultural fit, and fostering trust and transparency. These suggestions aim to optimize recruitment and selection practices, thereby enhancing NHC's organizational performance and potentially benefiting other organizations.

Authors: John Jovin
Published: October 2024

Recurring challenges in revenue collection and the insufficient revenue collection is pervasive, affecting the financial viability within Tanzania Local Government Authorities (LGAs) prompted this study with a focus on Mpanda Municipal Council. The aim is to assess key factors such as staff training, resource allocation, and community engagement that impact efficiency of task force staff operations. Mpanda Municipal Council was chosen due to its recurring challenges in meeting revenue collection targets and its strategic importance as a rapidly growing municipality with increasing fiscal demands. The study is grounded in both Agency Theory (AT), TAPACO and Resource-Based Theory (RBT). Agency Theory emphasizes the relationship between principals (local governments) and agents (task force staff) in ensuring that revenue collection objectives are aligned, while Resource-Based Theory highlights the importance of internal resources both tangible and intangible in achieving organizational effectiveness. Adopting a pragmatist research philosophy, the study used a convergent mixed-method research design, combining both qualitative and quantitative data to provide a holistic understanding of the research problem. Pragmatism guided the choice of methods, focusing on practical solutions and actionable outcomes. The quantitative data were analyzed using Ordinal Logistic Regression (OLR), which revealed that all independent variables significantly impact revenue collection effectiveness. A population of 75 people with a sample of 63 participants, comprising 46 respondents completed questionnaires while 17 business owners participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was used in case of qualitative data. The findings reveal that targeted training programs, adequate resources, and active community engagement significantly enhance the effectiveness of task force staff in revenue collection. The study concludes that improving these areas will result in better revenue generation and financial stability for local governments. It is recommended that local governments increase investment in training, adopt modern technologies, and foster stronger community engagement to reduce reliance on central government funding.
The Influence of Graph Theory Approach in Preventing Cheating at Higher Learning Institution: A case of Institute of Accountancy Arusha
Authors: Francis John Saqware , Gowele Jesline Elieza
Published: October 2024

Academic dishonesty has been more common in recent years, both through self-reported and detected cases, which has brought significant attention to the issue of cheating in educational settings. Students often cheat for a variety of reasons, including lack of study time, unclear learning objectives, fear of failing, peer pressure, and parental pressure for academic success. Students who rely on plagiarizing answers miss the opportunity to build their skills and may face challenges in job requirements. The problem of cheating / copying the neighbor's works during the examination is particularly well known. With graph theory especially graph coloring, it is proposed to develop the students' sitting arrangement that can be the solution of cheating. An experimental case study focuses on three master's programs, three bachelor's degree programs, three diploma programs, and three certificate programs at the Institute of Accountancy Arusha. This is done when one room or a venue is assigned to two or more programs with different backgrounds depending on the size of the room. The result shows that using graph coloring has reduced the tendency of students to copy or ask questions from their neighbors in the examination room.
Based on the assessment of graph theory's effectiveness in preventing cheating at the Institute of Accountancy Arusha, several recommendations can be made. First, the institution should invest in developing a comprehensive data collection system that captures relevant information such as seating arrangements, student interactions, and exam performance patterns. Collaboration with other institutions in implementing similar technologies could also create a shared knowledge base and lead to best practices in academic integrity. Finally, continuous monitoring and evaluation of this system should be conducted to refine its processes and adapt to new cheating technique.

Memoria, Narración y Biografía de los maestros en Red en el Ámbito Educativo
Authors: Díaz Becerra Lizeth Marcela
Published: October 2024

Este artículo indaga la interrelación entre memoria, narración y biografía en el ámbito educativo, destacando su importancia en la construcción de subjetividades y prácticas pedagógicas transformadoras. Basándose en autores como Carli, Halbwachs, Ricoeur, Nora, Portelli, Jelin, Martínez, Guachetá y Arfuch, se analiza cómo los maestros, especialmente aquellos organizados en redes, utilizan estos elementos para resistir políticas educativas hegemónicas y promover una pedagogía crítica y emancipadora. La memoria se presenta como un campo de lucha política donde los maestros reinterpretan sus experiencias y saberes locales. La narración se convierte en una herramienta de resignificación y resistencia, mientras que los "lugares de memoria" como el Movimiento Pedagógico Nacional, la Expedición Pedagógica, los Encuentros Iberoamericanos, entre otros, sirven como espacios de preservación y activación de la memoria colectiva. La oralidad se destaca como medio para incluir voces marginadas y cuestionar narrativas dominantes. El texto concluye que estos conceptos no son meras herramientas pedagógicas, sino pilares fundamentales para una identidad colectiva docente que busca transformar realidades educativas y sociales, promoviendo una educación más inclusiva, crítica y liberadora. Reflexión final del seminario “Universidad y Escuela como espacio de memoria, narrativo y biográfico” dirigido por Dr. Absalón Jiménez de la Universidad Distrital, el cual, corresponde al examen de candidatura del espacio de formación en Educación y Pedagogía (EFEP) que nutre la investigación doctoral titulada Prácticas Pedagógicas Emancipatorias de las redes y colectivos de maestros en la micropolítica escolar dirigida por la Dra.

Can Perceived Experiential Marketing of Nutritional Meat-Based Food Enhance Repurchase Intention? The Role of Customer Engagement
Authors: Meeprom Supawat , Pangprasert Butsakorn , Boonkum Wuttigrai
Published: October 2024

Understanding the consumption experience plays a critical role in building customer-product relationships and effectively meeting customers’ changing demands. This study aims to investigate the impact of experiential consumption on customer engagement and repurchase intentions, with a focus on the high nutrient meat-based food setting. To examine this issue, this study collected data from 487 consumers who had purchased and consumed high nutrient meat (e.g., the Thai native chicken, namely Pradu Hang Dam Mor Kor 55 chicken). Using structural equation modelling with partial least squares in ADANCO software, the study found that experiential marketing dimensions exert differential effects on engagement. The results also indicate a more strongly significant effect of consumers’ behavioral (behave) experience and intellectual (think) experience on engagement, while consumers’ sensory (sense) experience and affective (feel) experience were not significant for engagement. Moreover, the effect of customer engagement on repurchase intentions was positive. The study concludes by outlining key implications that arise from the analyses, followed by avenues for further research.

Authors: Ihsan Ihsan Muchlis , Achmad Fauzi  , Husnul Khair
Published: October 2024

This study discusses the application of cryptography and steganography techniques to improve the security of text messages using the Rivest Code 4 (RC4) algorithm and the Most Significant Bit (MSB) method. In the ever-growing digital era, data security is a top priority due to the increasing threat of cybercrime that can harm many parties. RC4 is a cryptography algorithm known for its encryption and decryption speed, while the MSB method is an effective steganography technique for hiding information in digital images. This study aims to develop an application that is able to encrypt text messages with the RC4 algorithm and hide them in digital images using the MSB method. With this combination, data is not only encrypted but also hidden, thus providing two layers of security to protect information from unauthorized access. The results of the study show that the combination of RC4 cryptography and MSB steganography techniques  successfully improves data security well.
