Influence of Intellectual Stimulation on Organizational Performance of Water Service Companies in Western Region, Kenya

Leadership practices remain a major challenge facing many organizations with a significant impact on performance. Because leadership is crucial for achieving organizational performance and gaining competitive advantage, intellectual stimulation styles of leadership are lacking. This matter seems contentious as is the case, since the prevailing global business environment has become dynamic and challenging for most organizations. Therefore, to attain a remarkable performance in the current volatile and competitive socio-economic environment, a combination of buoyant leadership practices is essential. This study sought to ascertain the influence of intellectual stimulation on the performance of water service companies in the Western Region, of Kenya. The study was anchored on institutional theory. The research followed a positivist research philosophy and used a descriptive and correlational research design. The target population was 638 with a sample size of 245 employees who comprised 97 Top level Managers, 149 Technical Staff and 392 Support Staff from four purposefully selected Water service companies. For data collection close-ended questionnaires were used. A pilot study was done by Siaya-Bondo Water and Sanitation Company. To test validity, the study used content, construct, and face validity. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics which included frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation while inferential statistics employed simple linear regression. The results were presented in tables. The study found that intellectual stimulation had a positive and significant correlation effect on the performance of water service companies in Western Region, Kenya by 0.589 units (β1=0.589, p=0.000). Thus, the null hypothesis that intellectual stimulation has no significant influence on the performance of water service companies in Western Region, Kenya is rejected, as intellectual stimulation positively and significantly impacts organizational performance. The study thus concludes that intellectual stimulation can develop employees periodically when given leadership roles where they can be allowed to make important decisions and also be able to participate in decision-making as leaders, hence relying on personal judgment in making those important decisions. The findings of this study contributed to the knowledge gap and linked intellectual stimulation leadership that develops employees periodically; the study recommends by giving leadership roles, employees can be allowed to make important decisions and also participate in decision making as leaders.

PLN CSR Program Through Community Empowerment at Saguling Dam, Citarum River, Bandung, West Java

Saguling Dam is a man-made reservoir located in West Bandung Regency, which dams the flow of the Citarum River, the largest river in West Java. The current condition of the dam has been heavily polluted by an abundance of water hyacinth and a buildup of household waste covering the river's surface. According to data from the Bandung City Sanitation Company in 2016, approximately 2.5 million residents produced 1,500 - 1,600 tons of waste per day. However, only 1,100 - 1,200 tons were transported to the Sarimukti Final Disposal Site (TPA), and 150 - 250 tons were processed by residents. The remaining 150 - 250 tons of waste were disposed of in Citarum River's tributaries. PLN (State Electricity Company) implemented a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program themed "Green Employee Involvement" through community empowerment efforts aimed at addressing the waste problems in the Saguling Dam. The "Green Employee Involvement" program, in collaboration with the Bening Saguling Foundation, was carried out in celebration of World Environment Day 2024. The research methodology used is qualitative, employing a case study approach. Data collection methods include literature review and observation. The research findings show that PLN's Corporate Social Responsibility program, themed "Green Employee Involvement" in collaboration with the Bening Saguling Foundation, has had a positive impact on environmental preservation while also providing economic benefits to the community in the Saguling Dam area, Bandung, West Java.

Assessment of Community Knowledge, Attitudes, and Perceptions Toward Effluent Quality Discharged from the Shirere Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Isiukhu River, Kakamega County, Kenya

For waste removal, advanced infrastructural technologies can be adopted in the drainage channels of effluents into water bodies though they are limited and scarce. The aim of the study was to asses community knowledge, attitude and perception towards effluent quality discharged from Shirere wastewater treatment plant up to river Isiukhu. Correlation and descriptive survey were the main research approaches adopted. The measurement of the knowledge, perception and attitude was limited to only the community members, as well as Kakamega County Water and Sanitation Company (KACWASCO) staff members. The study was anchored by the risk management theory to demonstrate the vulnerability of community hazards like water pollution. The social-economic sampling approaches applied were stratified for the community members and random for the KACWASCO workers. The population targeted was eighty community members and four KACWASCO staff members. The questionnaires were pretested through a pilot study to ascertain their reliability. This pre-test was conducted at a different Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) at Nabongo. The Pearson coefficient (r) was used to compute the correlation coefficient between the two test scores. Data was analyzed using regression and correlation methods. For socio-economic, reliability test was administered by use test- retest method. A code book was prepared and scores of the first test correlated with scores of the second test, and Pearson product moment of correlation was computed using SPSS software version 21.0. By applying the analysis of variance (ANOVA), researcher was able to determine whether differences observed between groups are likely due to actual variations in their perceptions or simply due to chance. From the reliability test, all of the variables obtained had Cronbach's Alpha greater than 0.7, indicating that they met the necessary 0.7 for data internal consistency. The Bartlett's test for validity was examined using the chi-square test, which revealed that all of the variables were significant at the 5% (0.000) level of significance. Only 82 of the 84 questionnaires provided to the sampled respondents (KACWASCO staffs and community members) were filled out and returned in this study. From the study findings the value of R-square was 0.429. The ANOVA test indicated that in this model the independent variable namely; knowledge of the residents is important in predicting of waste water treatment as indicated by significance value=0.002 which is less than 0.05 level of significance (p=0.002 < 0.05). Additionally, the response under attitude and perception, the value of R-Square was 0.045 which implied that, 4.5% of variation of Wastewater Treatment Plant in Shirere was explained by attitude and perception of the residents within the area. The study also revealed that attitude and perception of the residents in Shirere had a significant influence on wastewater treatment at Shirere in Kakamega County (t-statistic = 25.674, p-value = ). Therefore, it was concluded that, at 5% level of significance, indicating that community knowledge, perception and attitude had a positive influence on waste water treatment at Shirere in Kakamega County. Likewise, for every unit increase in attitude of the residents there was a corresponding increase in wastewater treatment at Shirere in Kakamega County by 0.628. The study recommended that, the community members need more sensitization on matters pollution as revealed by this study.

Area prioritising criteria during phased conversion from intermittent to continuous water supply: The case study of Lusaka Water Supply and Sanitation Company, Zambia

ABSTRACT Conversion from intermittent to continuous water supply is a recommended approach for improving water supply service to communities. The conversion process is complex and requires huge financial and human resources investments. Because such resources are always limited and cannot be adequately provided at once, phased conversion is encouraged. However, there are challenges with this approach in terms of which areas should be prioritized during the conversion process so that the water supply situation for the unconverted areas is not aggravated. This article uses a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to identify the criteria for prioritising areas to be converted during phased conversion to continuous water supply from a water utility perspective. The Lusaka Water Supply and Sanitation Company is used as a case study. Results show that the financial sustainability of the utility company is the major criterion for selecting an area to be prioritized. In countries like Zambia where tariff structures are such that industries subsidise domestic water consumption and the affluent subsidise water consumed by the poor, prioritising financial sustainability entails giving priority to areas where high revenues are expected. This is synonymous with giving priority to the affluent or the middle-class areas with high densities of water consumers.

The Public Service and its new crises

The notion of public service for Brazilian administrative law has always been endowed with a natural fog, which involves dogmatic discussion based on the uncertainties of the elements and the scope of the concept, extending into spaces where new execution models continue to foster doubt. The debate on the distinction between public service and economic activity is once again on the agenda of administrative law, as the economic crisis influences adjustments aimed at the privatization of state-owned companies such as the Brazilian postal and telegraph company and the Rio water and sanitation company of January. In the reflections set out in this essay, we propose premises to face the “new crises” of public service, elucidating issues that compromise the efficiency of the State's administrative function, in points relating to its universality and adequacy. It is an invitation to doubt and conjecture many answers to the same question. What are the risks of Brazilian public service?

Assessment of Factors Impacting Water Supply Services in Lusaka District: A Case of Lusaka Water Supply and Sanitation Company

The water supply situation in Lusaka district faces numerous challenges related to reliability, accessibility, and sustainability of water supply services. Despite a population of 3,079,964, only 134,807 household connections were established by LWSC in 2022. With a record 4.5% population increase from 2022 to 2023, the demand for water stands at over 420,000 cubic meters per day, while LWSC produces 250,000 cubic meters per day. Groundwater, accounting for 57% of LWSC's water, is threatened by land development and pollution. Meanwhile, 45% of the population relies on site sanitation, contributing to groundwater pollution, the very source LWSC is dependent upon. Lusaka faces low or no water supply, an average of 18 hours per day. Despite existing research on the peri-urban water supply, a gap remains in addressing the challenges of rapidly growing urban areas like Lusaka. This study aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive analysis focusing on the unique challenges faced by LWSC, such as land development, population growth, and climate change. The research will offer practical solutions for sustainable water supply management in Lusaka and similar contexts. The research philosophy employed for this study is interpretivism, as it allows for a deep understanding of the subjective experiences and perceptions of experts involved in the water supply sector in Lusaka. This approach aligns with the qualitative nature of the research, which aims to explore and understand the complex interactions between various factors influencing water supply services in the district. The findings of the study reveal that climate change, population growth, and land development are significant factors influencing water supply services in Lusaka. Erratic rainfall patterns and prolonged droughts have led to challenges in water availability and quality, while rapid population growth has increased the demand for water supply services, putting pressure on the existing infrastructure. Unplanned land development has also led to challenges in water supply services, particularly in areas with shallow water tables that are vulnerable to groundwater pollution. The study recommends investing in climate-resilient infrastructure, diversifying water sources, enhancing water conservation practices, and strengthening land use planning regulations to address these challenges and ensure the sustainability of water supply services in Lusaka.

Estimativa da infiltração e afluxo devido à precipitação em uma bacia de esgotamento sanitário

Abstract Extraneous flows to sewer networks can occur underground (infiltration) or in the routing of rainwater (inflow). Infiltration in these networks is often inevitable, leading to system overloads and causing overflows. The range of values suggested by the Brazilian standard for the infiltration coefficient is quite broad, which may result in the adoption of elevated or inaccurate values, leading to imprecise sizing and consequent expenses and problems that could be predicted or avoided. Sizing problems can lead to chronic operational issues. The application of methodologies for estimating infiltration and inflow due to precipitation (IDP) presents itself as an important tool in addressing these challenges. The objective of this work was to propose and test a methodology to estimate infiltration and IDP in a sewage basin in a coastal region (Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil). This methodology was developed based on the operational conditions available at the sanitation company. The aim was to use what was available, without costly acquisitions, and thus quantify these elements. For this, two distinct methodologies were applied: one for the quantification of the inflow and the other for the measurement of underground infiltration and determination of the infiltration coefficient. The results showed a directly proportional relationship between rainfall intensity and IDP value. The measured infiltration coefficients resulted in values higher than those adopted in the project. It is expected that this research will contribute to reducing network overload and improving local sanitation management.

Enhancing project management in sanitation infrastructure: applying Scrum in the construction of a sewage pumping station

Over the years, increasing population growth and industrialization, coupled with inadequate urban planning, have led to rapid and disorganized city expansion. This expansion has resulted in significant social and environmental impacts. In this context, this paper presents a case study conducted at a basic sanitation company. The study aimed to monitor the impacts of implementing Scrum, an agile development methodology, in constructing a new Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) in Guaratinguetá, São Paulo State. The concepts, benefits, and challenges of applying this methodology to projects involving the collection and transport of untreated effluents were discussed. Notable improvements were identified with the use of Scrum in the construction of the SPS, which also complied with environmental laws and protected the ecosystem by reducing the discharge of untreated waste into the soil and water basins. The results indicated an increase in team productivity, with teams demonstrating motivation, commitment, and integration in task execution throughout the process.

GISPerdas: a geographic information system to help water loss management

Water is one of the main elements of nature and the environment. It is present in various processes in society. Despite its importance, it is known that water is a finite and scarce resource, as most of it on our planet is salty and found in the oceans, therefore, not potable for human use. The majority of available water resources are unfit for human consumption or for use in activities dependent on these resources. Because of this, it is important to combat water losses when distributed through basic sanitation companies. This loss may occur due to water leaks in the pipes of the urban infrastructure of these companies. Currently, there are few existing technological tools that help combat water leaks. In this context, the present project aims to develop a Geographic Information System (GIS), based on free software, one of the main geoprocessing technologies, aiming to provide maps with leak occurrences in a given municipality. This mapping will reduce water losses from the basic sanitation company.

Procedure for emergetic assessment in urban river de-pollution.

Using emergetic indicators to evaluate complex processes such as the de-pollution of urban rivers aims to contribute to better use and preservation of the resources, besides the valuation of ecosystem services provided by the water body. Within this context, we conducted a bibliometric and systematic review that shows the lack of emergetic indicators in urban river de-pollution. Thus, this work aims to propose an emergetic assessment procedure to evaluate the de-pollution process of urban rivers that allows technicians, academics, and revitalization process managers of urban rivers to improve the monitoring and decision-making directly related to the process, concluding that an emergetic assessment procedure contributes to theory to create new scientific analyses applied to urban revitalization and nature preservation processes. The emergetic assessment procedure contributes to society by improving the disposal of public resources and the effective maintenance of urban rivers that provide ecosystem services to all stakeholders (residents, grantors, and sanitation companies). In practice, the use of the emergetic assessment contributes to the monitoring from the first stages of the clean-up process, demonstrating the sustainability of the process for the adequacy of resources and maintenance of the water body that shall be cleaned.
