A Study on the Impact of Capacity Building Programs by Private Higher Education Institutions on the Performance of Employees in Government Organizations

This research aims to examine the impact of capacity building programs on the organizational performance of government employees in Herat province. The study seeks to provide an in-depth understanding of this phenomenon and answers the question of whether programs designed to enhance the capabilities and skills of government employees, offered by private higher education institutions, have influenced various functional aspects of their work.

Data were collected and analyzed using quantitative methods and questionnaires. Statistical analysis, derived from the distribution of questionnaires to 266 managers and employees of government departments in Herat province, shows that among the components of organizational performance, which include ability, perception and cognition, organizational support, motivation, performance feedback, legitimacy (employee-related regulations), and environmental fit, the component of legitimacy regarding employee-related regulations had the most influence.

WHAT AFFECTS THE IMPLEMENTATION AND REALISATION OF STRATEGY IN ORGANISATIONS?

In today's changing environment companies are pushed to be flexible, develop new strategies and implement change plans. Strategy implementation and realisation is a critical component of organizational performance, however, many organizations fail to implement their strategic plans, while others could not achieve their desired results. In practice nowadays more attention is paid to the implementation of the strategy than to its creation, still strategy research most often treats strategy execution and realisation as a black box. The aim of this study is to find out the factors influencing the successful implementation and realization of business strategy in Latvian organizations. Quantitative research using a structured questionnaire (n = 440) and a multivariate linear regression analysis shows that managerial competence and leadership followed by clarity of goals play a decisive role in the successful implementation of business strategy. Implications of the results for managerial practice are discussed and propositions for future research provided

Relationship between ISO 9001 Certification and the Number of NonConformities Identified during System Audits in Selected Public Universities in Kenya

The quest for International Standard Organization (ISO) 9001 certification as an international quality tool has been embraced for process improvement and positive perception by customers. With ISO 9001 certification, an institution is anticipated to offer exemplary goods or services that meet client prerequisites, needs and expectations thus enhance organizational performance. As evident in previous studies, despite ISO 9001 certification, cases on wastages, missing student marks and time wastage were indicators of non-conformance. There was no clear evidence of past studies on the relationship between ISO 9001 certification and organizational performance with special interest on number of non-conformities identified during systems audit being a component of organizational performance. The purpose of the study was therefore to establish the relationship between ISO 9001 certification and the number of non-conformities identified during system audits in selected public Universities in Kenya. Explanatory research design was used in the study. The research targeted a population of 433 respondents from which a sample size of 205 respondents was selected using purposive and simple random sampling designs. A questionnaire was used to collect data. To answer the objectives of the study, simple linear regression analysis was performed. From the model, (R2 = .600) shows that ISO 9001 certification account for 60% variation in number of non-conformities identified during system audits. There was a positive significant relationship between ISO 9001 certification and number of non-conformities identified during system audits (β=0.611 and p <0.05). Therefore, a unit increase in ISO 9001 certification led to reduced number of non-conformities identified during system audits. The ISO 9001 certification had a significant influence on the number of non-conformities identified during system audits. For every adoption of the ISO 9001 certification in public universities the number of non-conformities identified during system audits reduced. The study concludes that ISO 9001 certification had a significant positive influence on the number of non-conformities identified during system audits. Thus, for every adoption of the ISO 9001 certification in public universities the number of non-conformities identified reduced. The study recommends that there is need for management of public universities through the department of quality management to address the non-conformities raised during system audits, need for university management to raise awareness on the importance of standardization and conformity assessment and to entrench the culture of quality in the Kenyan society by promoting practical usage of standards and development of quality related curricula in public universities.

Validity of questionnaire well approved based on face validity method by experts, specialists and professors of management. Using the results of pre-test, Cronbach's α was showed the very high reliability. Findings – Moreover, the results of regression analysis showed that regression line ascribes changes in dependent variable (OP) to independent variable (OCC). It means that high percentage of change in OP (77.3 percent) will be explainable and predictable with OCC. Then, with utilizing of parametric and non-parametric tests, the relationship between OCC and OP; and between components of OCC and OP was investigated. Finally, Pearson and Spearman correlation tests results confirmed the significant relationships. Overall, the results of this study show the significant, positive, strong relationship between OCC and OP. Originality/value – As not many studies have been done about the impact of organizational change on OP, the paper's findings will be useful to assess the adaptation ability of organization with changing environment and the impact of this adaptation on OP.
