    Engagement in hair manufacturing organizations: a case of cascade industries limited and SCD (U) limited
    (Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2021-10) Gilbert, Mafabi
    The study aimed at establishing the relationship between leader member exchange, employee creativity and employee engagement. This research was situated in a quantitative approach and adopted a cross sectional survey design. This survey design was adopted because the researcher intended to come up with an accurate description of findings that reflect the facts about the topic at one point in time. This research plan was also chosen because it enabled the researcher to collect and analyse data and make meaningful recommendations from the research objectives. Results obtained showed that there is a significant positive relationship (r = .189, P ≤. 01) between leader member exchange and employee engagement. The study, further, discovered a statistically significant positive relationship (r = 0.371, P≤.01) between employee creativity and engagement. Findings also revealed that there was a significant positive relationship (r = 0.273, P ≤ .01) between employee creativity and leader member exchange. Similarly, results revealed that leadermember connection raised predictive power of employee engagement by 3.6% (R Square Change = 0.036) implying that leader-member exchange is a significant predictor of staff engagement. The researcher concluded that there are significant positive relationships between variables and a strong mediation effect of creativity on engagement. Finally, the researcher recommended that managers of manufacturing firms should put their first priority on employee creativity as it indicated high contribution to employee engagement.

    Technology adoption, employee engagement and perceived job performance in Uganda beverage companies a case of Hariss international limited (Riham), Kampala Uganda
    (Kyambogo University (un published work), 2019-11) Tusiimemukama, Alicitidia
    The study examined the relationship between technology adoption, employee engagement and how they contribute to job performance. The researcher used a cross sectional survey design using a quantitative approach. Convenience sampling design was adopted and the sample size was 240 respondents out of a target population of 650 employees. Data was analyzed using statistical package for social scientists (SPSS). Study findings reveal that there is a significant positive relationship between technology adoption and perceived job performance (r = .36, p ≤.01); technology adoption and employee engagement (r = .27, p ≤.01); employee engagement and perceived job performance (r = .32, p ≤.01). Technology adoption combined with employee engagement significantly predict perceived job performance (r²adj = .174, F=26.12**). The researcher recommends that further research should be carried on technology adoption, employee engagement and perceived job performance because the model explained only 17.4% of these variables. Therefore, a large percentage of the unexplained variance suggests the need for additional research incorporating potential unmeasured variables. The research was limited to a cross sectional research study and the researcher recommends that a longitudinal study should be considered in order to validate the findings.
