Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Technology: Public Management, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2015. / Linking access with success in South African higher education has become vital. There is a clear necessity to identify and rigorously research factors contributing to student success that are within the institutions sphere of influence so that institutional policies and practices can be intentionally aligned and designed to create conducive conditions for student success This study documents the key indicators of student success based on a sample of BComm Accounting students enrolled at CTI Education group (MGI)/Durban Campus from 2009 to 2011. Using data collected from 54 students enrolled in the three groups, this study investigates whether or not matriculation aggregate scores as well as selected individual matric subject scores (including Mathematics proficiency, English language proficiency and Accounting) and demographic information (such as gender, race, socio-economic status, and first-generational status) are key indicators of success for students enrolled in BComm Accounting at CTI Education group/Durban Campus from 2009 to 2011. Qualitative and quantitative data have been collected and incorporated into the econometric model. Qualitative data such as gender, ethnicity and parent level of education have been used as dummy variables and were analysed using either Pearson or Spearman’s correlation tests. Due to the disparity in performance of students, the researcher sought to use the descriptive econometric model. The data (qualitative and quantitative) have been analysed using mostly descriptive methods and to a less extent the Ordinary Least Squares through Stata software. The findings of this study show that: • In all three samples average matric score proved to be a significant indicator of student academic success at the end of the first-year; • In all three samples, the first step of the model (Gender, ethnicity and first generational of students) did not explain a significant amount of the percentage of student academic success at the end of the first-year for the three cohorts; • From 2009 to 2011, the overall results suggested a significant difference between students who lived close to campus and those who travelled a long distance to campus; • In all three samples the Age variable did not explain a significant correlation between the variable Age and student academic success at the end of the first-year. / M

Con el pasar de los años la mujer ha ido ganando mayor espacio en el ámbito laboral, pasando de tener como principal función las labores domésticas a dirigir organizaciones importantes desde posiciones directivas. El Liderazgo Femenino, ha sido un factor determinante en este proceso de evolución y en su crecimiento profesional, éste las ha impulsado a poner en práctica sus capacidades y habilidades. Sin duda, el Liderazgo Femenino es un concepto que se viene escuchando desde hace algunos años atrás y más con los cambios de paradigma que la sociedad ha ido experimentando en cuanto a la forma de ver a la mujer y a la globalización. Sin embargo, aún no es un tema desarrollado a profundidad pese al impacto que pueda tener en las organizaciones y en la sociedad. Es así como, esta investigación tiene como objetivo principal identificar el impacto que genera el Liderazgo Femenino en el Desempeño Laboral de las mujeres directivas de las áreas académicas en las Universidades Privadas de Lima Sur del año 2019. En primer lugar, en el Capítulo I, se desarrollará el marco teórico que contiene las definiciones de las variables del tema de investigación que son el Liderazgo Femenino y Desempeño Laboral; además de sus antecedentes, evolución y dimensiones. Asimismo, se describe el sector elegido el cual es el sector universitario privado peruano incluyendo las universidades privadas que componen Lima Sur. En segundo lugar, en el Capítulo II muestra el plan de investigación, el cual engloba el estado de la cuestión, la justificación y/o relevancia del tema, así como los objetivos y las hipótesis planteadas de la investigación. En tercer lugar, en el Capítulo III se desarrollará la metodología de investigación, la cual determinará el tipo de investigación, el enfoque, el alcance, y el diseño de la investigación. Igualmente, las definiciones de la población y muestra de la investigación cualitativa como cuantitativa y sus respectivos instrumentos empleados. En cuarto lugar, en el Capítulo IV, se presentará el desarrollo de la metodología tanto cualitativa como cuantitativa. En quinto lugar, en el Capítulo V, se mostrará el análisis de los resultados obtenidos de la investigación. Por último, se presentarán las conclusiones y recomendaciones producto de la investigación realizada. / Over the year’s women have been gaining more space in the field of work, moving from having the main role of domestic work to leading important organizations from leadership positions. Women’s leadership has been a determining factor in this process of evolution and in their professional growth, which has prompted them to put into practice their capacities and abilities. Women’s Leadership is certainly a concept that has been heard for some years now, and more so with the paradigm changes that society has been experiencing in terms of how to see women and globalization. However, a theme is not developed in depth despite the impact it may have on organizations and on society. Thus, the main objective of this research is to identify the impact of Women’s Leadership on the Work Performance of women in academic areas in the Private Universities of Lima Sur, in 2019. First, in Chapter I, the theoretical framework will be developed that contains the definitions of the variables of the topic of research that are Female Leadership and Work Performance, in addition to their background, evolution and dimensions. It also describes the chosen sector, which is the Peruvian private university sector, including the private universities that make up Lima Sur. Secondly, Chapter II shows the research plan, which covers the status of the issue, the justification and/or relevance of the topic as well as the objectives and hypotheses of the research. Third, Chapter III will develop the research methodology, which will determine the type of research, approach, scope, and design of the research. Also, population definitions and sample qualitative research as quantitative and their respective instruments used. Fourthly, Chapter IV will present the development of both qualitative and quantitative methodology. Fifthly, in Chapter V, the analysis of the research results will be shown. Finally, the conclusions and recommendations resulting from the investigation carried out will be presented. / Tesis

This study of the legal and management frameworks for private higher education institutions in Swaziland provides a theoretical framework for the establishment and management of such institutions and especially the Southern Africa Nazarene University (SANU). A literature review of Swaziland’s education legislation and education system, the legal processes for the establishment of private higher education institutions, the types and legal status of these, their funding of, and their organisational and management structures provided the theoretical framework upon which the study was based. The review indicated that: a private higher education system in Swaziland was in the process of being developed; such institutions were established and operated within the overall higher education system; there were two legal instruments that could be used to establish these institutions – an Act of Parliament and a Certificate of Registration; the government was the major funder of private higher education institutions; and there are different organisational and management structures in existence. Against this background an empirical qualitative investigation was conducted. Data was collected from education managers, government officials, Church leadership, and legal representatives through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation. The findings of the empirical investigation complemented the findings obtained from the literature review. The underdevelopment of the private higher education system resulted in two major implications: uncertainty of the legal process for the establishment of SANU, and the development as well as immediate implementation of education legislation and policies. The application of the legal procedures outlined by the Higher Education Bill of 2007 to the establishment, management and funding of SANU affords a good example. Even though the people entrusted with the establishment of SANU selected the Act of Parliament for this process and developed the SANU Bill, government officials instead advocated and implemented the certification process regarding the establishment and management of SANU. Subvention, tuition fees, commercial farming and provision of short term occupational training programmes were identified as income-generating strategies for SANU. A unique organisational and management structure was developed for SANU. Based on those findings, several recommendations for the improvement of the management of the process of establishment of universities in Swaziland and especially SANU were made. / Educational Studies / D.
