An Investigation into Succession Planning Initiatives in Government : A Case of the Botswana National Archives and Records Service / Sylvia SianeSiane, Sylvia January 2013 (has links)
This research is an investigation into Succession planning initiatives in government
agencies in Botswana, a case of the Botswana National Archives and Records
Services. The Botswana National Archives and Records Services has been
experiencing a significant loss of employees over the years. When people leave the
organisation in most cases the vacant position will take too long to fill, especially for
those positions that require the technical qualification and experience in Archives and
Records Management. This state of affairs according to the researcher may be
addressed by implementing a succession planning strategy. Succession planning has
the potential to uplift government agencies in terms of increased productivity,
motivation, efficiency and retention of staff. Succession planning can help organisations
to invest more on developing their staff for future key positions to ensure business
continuity. It is important for organisations to have a strong pipeline so that key positions
are easily filled as they become vacant.
This study sought to establish if the Botswana National Archives and Records Services
has any initiatives on succession planning and how well the employees understand the
concept of succession planning. A questionnaire was designed and administered to the
staff of the National Archives. The findings from the study reveal that most of the
employees do not understand the concept of succession planning and the organisation
has no initiative on succession planning. These findings led to the conclusion that the
National Archives should include succession planning in its business strategy and teach
its employees about it to ensure business continuity. / Thesis (MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2013
