A talent management model for medium sized enterprises in Uganda

Ndawula, Gerald January 2018 (has links)
Text in English with abstracts in Zulu and SePedi / Business-oriented studies have revealed that medium-sized enterprises greatly contribute to economic growth and socio-economic development of developed and emerging economies like Uganda. At the same time, these enterprises are faced with copious challenges, and chief among them, is a general lack of prudent talent management model(s) and talented people to propel them forward in order to sustain competitiveness. The aim of the present research undertaking was to develop a model for talent management that could be applied by medium-sized enterprises in Uganda to attract and retain talented people with the view to sustain survival, growth, development and competitiveness. The study evolved on the thesis statement that the characteristics of an enterprise (i.e., main business, number of employees, years of existence, technological advancement, ownership arrangement, location and active website) and managerial characteristics (i.e., level of competition, performance rating of the enterprise, leadership style, owners participation, academic attainment of the General Manager/Chief Executive Officer and academic attainment of Assistant General Manager/Assistant Chief Executive Officer) influence the direction and dynamics of talent management (i.e., talent identification, leadership talent development, talent development for hard to fill positions, higher position talent development, cohort of talent, talent utilization and reward management) in the medium-sized enterprises in Uganda. A mixed research design was adopted. Primary data was obtained through a survey questionnaire and interviews of management experts were conducted, using the theoretical sampling technique. The interviews were meant to obtain the underlying in-depth factors pertaining to emerging issues from the quantitative data analysis. Based on the Business Register for the year 2006, the total population of the medium-sized enterprises in Uganda stood at 58,512 and the targeted sample of 600 medium sized enterprises was statistically arrived at. 570 medium-sized enterprises responded positively to the study. This gave a response rate of 95%, which was classified as excellent. The measuring instrument yielded an overall Cronbach Alpha value of 0.77 which implied that the instrument was reliable to conduct the study. A variable was generated to measure talent management. This was done by the application of STATA Version 13.0. Linear regression analysis was conducted for all the seven research questions for the study. The model fit was good because the probability value (0.000) was less than 0.05 and the conclusions were made at 95 per cent level of confidence. Using the adjusted model, it was established that main business, technological advancement, ownership structure and location of enterprises significantly influence talent management in the medium-sized enterprises in Uganda. In addition, it was revealed that performance rating, leadership style, owners participation and academic attainment of the assistant general managers significantly influence the dynamics and direction of talent management in the medium-sized enterprises in Uganda. These findings formed the developed talent management model for medium-sized enterprises. The fundamental theoretical contribution of this investigation was the development of a talent management model for medium-sized enterprises in Uganda, in the context of developing countries. The practical worth of the model is its application to strengthen talent management in the medium-sized enterprises with the view to sustain survival, growth, development and competitiveness. The recommendations of the study are that: the dependency of medium sized enterprises in Uganda on general management aspects without embracing fundamental ingredients of talent management is a risky business venture; and medium-sized enterprises in Uganda must revisit their talent identification, talent development initiatives, talent retention programs, talent utilization and reward management systems. This will permit them to be aligned with the volatile competitive business environment. Medium-sized enterprises must continuously re-examine leadership talent development initiatives in order to enhance business leaders with the view to attain long term sustainability. / Izingcwaningo eziphathelene nebhizinisi sezikuvezile ukuthi amabhizinisi amaphakathi ngobukhulu anegalelo elikhulukazi ekukhulisweni komnotho kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwenhlalomnotho yamazwe aneminotho esithuthukile kanye nalawo aneminotho esafufusa njenge-Uganda. Kusenjalo, lawa mabhizinisi azithola ebhekene nezinkinga eziningi, futhi enkulu kunazo zonke, wukuntuleka kwemodeli noma amamodeli okuphathwa kwabasebenzi, ngokunjalo nokuntuleka kwabasebenzi abanekhono abazokwazi ukuqhubekisela phambili amabhizinisi lawo ukuze akwazi ukukhula futhi adlondlobale emsebenzini wawo webhizinisi lapho kunesimo sokuncintisana okukhulu phakathi kwamabhizinisi. Inhloso yalolu cwaningo lwamanje kwabe kuwukuthuthukisa imodeli yokuphathwa kwabasebenzi engasetshenziswa emabhizinisini amaphakathi ngobukhulu ase-Uganda, ngenhloso yokuheha nokugcina abantu abanamakhono ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi amabhizinisi ayaqhubeka nokusebenza, ayakhula, ayathuthuka futhi ayakwazi ukuncintisana ngempumelelo emkhakheni wezebhizinisi. Lolu cwaningo kwathuthukiselwa phezu kwesitatimende sethisisi esithi izici-bunjalo zebhizinisi (okusho umsebenzi oyinhloko owenziwa yibhizinisi, inani labasebenzi, iminyaka esiphelile lasungulwa futhi likhona, ukuthuthuka noqhukubekela kwalo phambili kwezobuchwepheshe, isimo sobunikazi, indawo elisebenzela kuyona kanye newebhusayithi esebenzayo) kanye nezici-bunjalo eziphathelene nokuphathwa kwebhizinisi (okusho, izinga lokuncintisana, isilinganiso-kusebenza sebhizinisi, isitayela sobuholi, ukubamba iqhaza komnikazi, izinga lemfundo eliphakeme afinyelele kulona uMphathi-jikelele/uMphathi Omkhulu kanye nezinga lemfundo eliphakeme elifinyelele kulona iPhini loMphathi-jikelele/iPhini loMphathi Omkhulu) kunomthelela emgudwini kanye nezinqubo-kusebenza zokuphathwa kwabasebenzi (okusho, ukuhlonzwa kwabasebenzi abanekhono, ukuthuthukiswa kwabasebenzi abanekhono lobuholi, ukuthuthukiswa kwabasebenzi abanekhono lokugcwalisa izikhala okunzima kakhulu ukuzigcwalisa, ukuthuthukiswa kwabasebenzi abazongena ezikhundleni eziphakeme, iqembulabasebenzi abanekhono, ukusetshenziswa kwabasebenzi abanekhono kanye nokuphathwa kwemivuzo) emabhizinisini amaphakathi ngobukhulu kwelase-Uganda.ngobukhulu abamba iqhaza ngenkuthalo kulolu cwaningo. Lokhu kwahlinzeka ngezinga lokusabela elingama-95%, okuyizinga elithathwa njengelihle kakhulu. Ithuluzi lokukala lakhiqiza inani-bungakho eliphelele le-Cronbach Alpha elingu 0.77 okusho ukuthi leli thuluzi labe liyithuluzi elithembakele futhi elifanelekile ukwenza ucwaningo. Kwenziwa isikali esiguquguqukayo sokukala ukuphathwa kwabasebenzi abanekhono. Lokhu kwenziwa nokusebenzisa i-STATA Version 13.0. Kwenziwa uhlaziyo lwe-linear regression maqondana nayo yonke imibuzo yocwaningo eyisikhombisa. Ukufaneleka kwemodeli kwabe kukuhle kakhulu ngoba i-probability value (0.000) yabe ingaphansi kuka-0.05 futhi imibono yokuphothula yenziwa yafinyelele ezingeni lokuthembakala elingama-95%. Ngokusebenzisa imodeli ehlelwe kabusha, kwatholakala ukuthi umsebenzi oyinhloko owenziwa yibhizinisi, ukuthuthuka nokuqhubekela kwalo phambili kwezobuchwepheshe, isimo sobunikazi kanye nendawo asebenzela kuyona amabhizinisi kunomthethela omkhulu ekuphathweni kwabasebenzi emabhizinisini amaphakathi ngobukhulu ezweni lase-Uganda. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ucwaningo lwakuveza ukuthi isilinganiso-kusebenza, isitayela sobuholi, ukubamba iqhaza komnikazi kanye nezinga lemfundo eliphakeme elifinyelele kulona iphini lomphathi, kunomthelela kwizinqubo-kusebenza kanye nasemgudwini wokuphathwa kwabasebenzi emabhizinisini amaphakathi ngobukhulu kwelase-Uganda. Le miphumela etholakele ocwaningweni yakha imodeli yokuphathwa kwabasebenzi ethuthukisiwe, eqondiswe emabhizinisini amaphakathi ngobukhulu. Igalelo eliyisisekelo, eliphathelene nethiyori, elenziwe yilolu cwaningo wukuthuthukiswa kwemodeli yabasebenzi eyenzelwe amabhizinisi amaphakathi ngobukhulu kwelase-Uganda, ngokwesimo esiqondene namazwe asathuthuka. Ukusebenziseka nokubaluleka okuphathekayo kwale modeli wukusetshenziswa kwayo ekuqiniseni ukuphathwa kwabasebenzi abanekhono emabhizinisini amaphakathi ngobukhulu ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi amabhizinisi ayaqhubeka nokusebenza, ayakhula, ayathuthuka futhi ayakwazi ukuncintisana ngempumelelo emkhakheni wezebhizinisi. Izincomo zocwaningo wukuthi: ukuthembela kwamabhizinisi aphakathi ngobukhulu ase-Uganda ezinqubweni zokuphatha ezijwayelekile ngaphandle kokuqinisekisa ukubhekelelwa kwezinto ezisemqoka kakhulu futhi eziyisisekelo sokuphathwa kwabasebenzi abanekhono kuyinto eyingozi kakhulu ebhizinisini; futhi amabhizinisi amaphakathi ase-Uganda kumele abuyekeze noma abhekisise izindlela nezinqubo zazo eziphathelene nokuhlonza abasebenzi abanekhono, izinhlelo zazo zokuthuthukisa abasebenzi abanekhono, izinhlelo zokugcina abasebenzi abanekhono, izinhlelo zokusebenzisa abasebenzi abanekhono kanye nezinhlelo zokuphathwa kwemivuzo. Lokhu kuzokwenza ukuthi lawa mabhizinisi akwazi ukuhambisana nesimo sebhizinisi esinokuncintisana okunzima impela. Amabhizinisi amaphakathi ngobukhulu kumele aqhubeke nokuhlola nokubhekisisa kabusha izinhlelo zokuthuthukiswa kobuholi bebhizinisi ukuze kuthuthukiswe abaholi bebhizinisi ngenhloso yokuqinisekisa ukusimama kwesikhathi eside. / Dithuto tša go šetša kgwebo di utullotše gore dikgwebo ya bogolo bja magareng bo dira seabe se segolo go kgolo ya ikonomi le tlhabollo ya ikonomi le leago ya diikonomi tšeo ditšwelelago go swana le Uganda.
