The Journal also reviews books, essays, and research notes that are relevant to both scholars and practitioners involved at all levels of administration and management from various organizational forms including business fi rms, non-governmental organizations, public institutions and individual networks. Aim and scope The Ugandan Journal of Management and Public Policy Studies is a scholarly Journal published to scientifi cally address the problems, interests and concerns of managers and intellectuals concerned with management science profession. It aims at improving the understanding and practice of management. The Journal is an essential reading, publishing articles from a wide range of authors, both well-established scholars and young scholars. Thus the Journal is an important resource for: a) Management Development Institutions b) Social Science Faculties and Research Institutions c) Graduate teachers and researchers in management science d) Civil service practitioners e) Students of management f) All people interested in the practice of Management iii The Ugandan Journal Of Management And Public Policy Studies Editorial Note Volume 15 (1) of The Ugandan Journal of Management and Public Policy Studies addresses matters pertaining to management of public institutions and good governance. In this Issue, we present seven empirical articles which hinge on the following topical issues: Road Infrastructure Projects, Oil Exploration, Ma nagement of Refugees, Employee Productivity, Quality Teaching and Research in Private Chartered Universities, Corruption, and Leadership of Higher Institutions of Learning. In the fi rst article, Muzaale, Auriacombe and Byaruhanga observe that major road projects in the country have been completed with signifi cant cost and time overruns. The authors attribute the overruns to the use of poor quality materials, poor scheduling, and delayed procurement and specifi cations. The authors recommend improvement of contract management and monitoring processes for all ongoing road construction works. Buhenga Masiko explores the critical success factors (CSFs) responsible for the effectiveness of oil exploration in Uganda. Masiko’s study reveals that CSFs have a direct infl uence on effective oil exploration. He recommends the use of stakeholders’ management plan to monitor and evaluate the implementation of oil exploration programmes and to build human resource and technology competences. Pius Gumisiriza examines the challenges and emerging issues affecting the management of refugees in Uganda, and identifi es the following as key challenges and issues: logistical diffi culties; high costs of access to services; syndicated corruption within core refugee management institutions; emerging confl icts between host communities and refugees over access to scarce resources; bureaucracy; and security threats, especially illegal kidnaps and repatriation. Joel Emojong explores the in fl uence of Competence-Based Education (CBE) programmes on the productivity of workers in Uganda’s public institutions with a particular focus on Uganda Revenue Authority. The results reveal a signifi cant positive relationship between the CBE approach used in the implementation of URA’s education programmes and employee effi ciency. Informed by the study fi ndings, Emojong recommends that government of Uganda should introduce CBE curricula in different magnitudes at the higher education levels to equip learners with the requisite competences that can enable them to improve effi ciency at their workplaces. Atwebembeire and Malunda explore the contribution of staff development to quality of teaching and research in private chartered universities in Uganda. The results indicate a signifi cant positive relationship between staff development and quality of teaching and research. The study recommends that private universities should share knowledge through collaborations, experience-sharing, workshops and exchange of teaching and research materials and ideas to learn good teaching, research and management practices from each other. iv Editorial note Gumisiriza and Mukobi use a comparative analytical approach to examine critically how and why anti-corruption institutional multiplicity has failed to curb corruption effectively. They attribute failure of the anti-corruption agencies to lack of political will to fi ght corruption. The article recommends that government should scrap or merge some of the anti-corruption agencies, especially those with duplicate roles; avail suffi cient fi nancial and human resources to the remaining anti-corruption agencies and empower them to implement their mandate. Alemiga and Kamya explore the concept of authenticity in authentic leadership in higher education institutions (HEIs). It was established that authenticity of leadership has become a game changer in organizations today. The thesis of the article is that authentic leaders have best human resource practices aligned to the short-term and long-term strategic goals of an organization.
