(International Journal for Multidisciplinary Research (IJFMR), 2024) Amans Ainebyoona; Tuhirirwe Jackson; Nomugisha Mary
Uganda has been cited among developing countries which are populated with Small and Medium Enterprises (World Bank, 2018). These enterprises have been praised to be dominant players in instituting economic stability as well as playing key role in developing private sectors in Uganda. There has been Substantial financial support from both government and other development for example an African Guarantee fund worth US$ 30 million aiming at supporting African SME sector as well as fund support extended by the government through presidential initiatives to support Small and Medium Enterprises (MoFPED/UNPF, 2017). In addition to this financial support from the various development agencies, there has been also emergency of financial institutions for instance commercial banks and micro finance institutions in almost all parts of the country and these have also led to easy accessibility of funds by these enterprises easily (BOU,2013). However, Kasekende (2018) explained that majority of these SMEs fail to perform financial as evidenced by the high solvency rate as most of them fail to celebrate their second birthday due to misappropriation and mismanagement of their financial resources and all this is a true indicator of limited knowledge on how to manage financial matters of enterprises

Financial Innovations and Profitability of Commercial Banks in Uganda
(Journal of Economics and Behavioral Studies, 2024-06) Atukunda, Gershom; Musiita, Benjamin; Atwiine, Johnson; Atwine, Aquilionus; Olyanga, Anthony Moni
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between financial innovation and profitability of commercial Banks in Uganda. The study was prompted by the low profitability evidenced by some banks being closed down because of low profitability. The study adopted a cross-section and descriptive research design using Roscoe 1975 to get a sample size of 24 commercial banks. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect the responses. Based on the goals of the study, the data was examined for validity and reliability, examined using SPSS, and the results were reported. The results showed that the profitability of commercial banks in Uganda had a positive and significant association with both process and product innovation, suggesting that improving one will benefit the other. However, product innovation was found to be a stronger predictor of profitability in commercial Banks in Uganda. With these findings, the study contributes to providing empirical evidence that financial innovation in commercial banks is highly influenced by commercial banks introducing and improving their products/services since it results in profitability. There is also a need to put much emphasis on Financial Innovations by continuously introducing and improving on the existing products/services. The Commercial Banks in Uganda should promote and appreciate Financial Innovations as they are vital not only in enhancing cost minimization, thus improving profitability
The Correlational Study of the Quality of Students Enrolled in the University and Employability of Graduates from Selected Universities in South-Western Uganda
(2024) Rwiita Nuwabimpa, Milton; Kamukama, Nixon; Twinamtsiko, Medard
The employability of university graduates is a concern for higher education stakeholders globally and Uganda is also concerned due to high unemployment rates post-graduation. Not much has been written about the relationship between quality of students enrolled in the university and their employability of graduates from selected Universities in South Western Uganda. This study aims to establish this relationship in selected universities in south western Uganda. A correlational study collected data from 512 participants, including graduates, employers, university lecturers, administrators, and officers from quality assurance directorate of national council for Higher Education. Data on students discipline, grades, performance and employability were collected. SPSS and Structural equation modelling (SEM) version 21 was used to analyse associations between predictor and outcome variables. The findings derived from conducting this research clearly demonstrate the presence of a significant statistical association between the quality of students enrolled in the university and employability of graduates at R= 0.589, R squared change 0.347, P =0.000 This suggests that by ensuring the quality of students enrolled in the University through discipline, students’ grades and performance increases the likelihood of producing graduates who are employable. It is very important that stakeholders in higher education make it a priority to keep a high standard of students and their moral fibre and this may facilitate their integration into the workforce.

(Bishop Stuart University, 2022-12-27) Crispus, Tashobya; Pereez, Nimusima; Robert, Mugabe; Bernard, Begumisa
This study examined the relationship between on-job and off-job training on employee job satisfaction at Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) in Western Uganda. To be able to realise the study objectives, a cross- sectional survey design, quantitative in nature was adopted. The targeted population comprised the employees of MUST where a sample of 230 respondents was chosen guided by Krejcie and Morgan sample determination table. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaires through telephone interview in order to adhere to Corona Virus pandemic guidelines related to social distancing. Simple random sampling technique was adopted during sample selection. Data collected was analysed using the analysis function of the Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS version 20). The study findings indicate a moderate positive and significant relationship between on-job training/ off-job training and job satisfaction. On-job training predicted job satisfaction to the tune of 14% compared to 9% variation in job satisfaction caused by off-job training. On the basis of observation that the case institution does not organize trainings for supervisors on how to conduct appraisals, the study recommends that human resource (HR) practitioners and policy makers inculcate trainings for supervisors on how to conduct performance appraisals in order to equip supervisors with sufficient performance appraisal skills to be able to appropriately identify employee training needs. Future research may carry out a long tudinal study to test how on-job and off-job training predict job satisfaction in a private higher learning institution setting in another country
