Ukoma kwenkukhu, ikakhulukazi yenkukhu, kubeka izithiyo endleleni yokupheka izitsha eziningi. Ikakhulukazi ithinta uma kukhona izitsha zethusi ezihleliwe noma izitsha ezenziwe ngomlilo ovulekile. Kodwa abalandeli be inyama yenkukhu nabalandeli bokudla okunomsoco bathola indlela yokuphuma. I-marinade yebele lezinkukhu ibhekana ngokuphumelelayo nokuma kwayo, okwenza inyama enamafutha futhi ithenda. Futhi uma ucabangela ukuthi zitholakala kanjani ezihlukahlukene, ungathenga ngokuphephile izibopho ngokukhululekile kunoma yiliphi iholide noma ukuhamba "kwemvelo". Omunye umdlali obhekene nalesi simo uGranwald Scott obuye eNingizimu Afrika ngo-2017 wajoyina iBidvest Wits esuka eqenjini laseSlovakia. Uhambe kuleli ehlonishwa engukaputeni we-Ajax Cape Town. With the aim of identifying the challenges and determining the extent of the effect of these challenges on the effectiveness of the performance management systems, the performance management practices of selected public universities in Ethiopia were assessed. This assessment informed the identification of workable, customised balanced scorecard measurement variables that would ensure effective implementation of performance management systems and promote institutional success in the selected public universities in Ethiopia. An exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was adopted. First, literature was reviewed to learn about major concepts and theories on performance management systems and to establish the laws and directives that regulate performance management at public universities in Ethiopia. Qualitative interviews and quantitative questionnaires were used to collect data on the practices and the challenges experienced in implementing performance management systems in public universities in Ethiopia. The main practices and challenges identified include exclusion of employees from planning activities, management bias, supervisors’ failure to give feedback on performance appraisals, lack of experience among many of the professionals in the execution of performance management systems, and high employee turnover. The study presents and recommends a hexagonal hybrid balanced scorecard measurement model (the newly added variables being leadership and stakeholders) to make Ethiopian higher education institutions effective and efficient in measuring their overall performance.
