The main purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of staff attitudes and participative leadership style in Evidence Action Uganda. The study was based on the following objectives: to examine the relationship between employees’ attitudes and organisational performance at Evidence Action Uganda. To establish the relationship between employees’ attitudes, organisational culture and organisational performance at Evidence Action Uganda.To examine the relationship between participative leadership style, organisational culture and organisational performance at Evidence Action Uganda.To examine the factor structure of employees’ attitudes, participative leadership style and organisational culture on organisational performance at Evidence Action Uganda.Data was collected using a number of tools and these included; the use of questionnaire guides and focus group discussion. The study was conducted basing on a sample size of 517 respondents at Evidence Action. Correlation results indicated a positive relationship between employees’ attitudes and organizational performance at (r=.627, p<.01). A positive significant relationship between employees’ attitudes and organizational culture (r=.584, p<.01), while between organisational culture and organisational performance (r=.601, p<.01) and a positive significant relationship between participative leadership style and organisational culture (r=.561, p<.01). Employees’ attitudes (Beta=.939) was the most significant predictor of organizational performance followed by participative leadership style (Beta =.753), and last was organizational culture (Beta=.538). It was also concluded that employees at Evidence Action can recommend to their friends to work in this organization, employees at Evidence Action are pleased to inform others that they work in the organization and that employees can agree to perform any job assignment in order to keep the job for the organization. A positive change in employees’ attitudes and organisational culture will lead to a positive change in organisational performance. A positive change in participative leadership style and organisational culture will lead to a positive change in organisational performance.
The study recommends that employee's attitude has a great influence on the other counterparts’ interactions, reactions and individual work value, work perception and performance or output. Organizational culture is an important element in achieving employee commitment. Leaders as dominant persons are influencers directly or indirectly chatting the course of the culture. The management of the institution should endeavour to practice participative leadership styles if employee commitment must be ensued and that the management of the institution should endeavor positive employee attitudes, practice participative leadership styles and strong organisational culture if employee commitment must be ensued for improved organisational performance. The researcher recommends that similar studies should be replicated in other NGOs in Kampala, other regions and countries so as to improve the external validity of the findings and further studies should be considered to explore the drivers and the challenges of employees’ attitudes, participative leadership styles in organizations.

Mukhama, Henry Khaukha
This study examines the relationship between credit terms, clientele characteristics, credit risk assessment, and financial performance at FINCA Uganda, a microfinance institution (MFI). The research objectives include establishing the connection between credit terms and financial performance, assessing the relationship between credit terms, credit risk assessment, and financial performance, examining the relationship between clientele characteristics, credit risk assessment, and financial performance, and determining the factor structure of credit terms, clientele factors, and credit risk assessment on financial performance.The study employed a sample of 83 respondents from FINCA Uganda, achieving a response rate of 97%. The findings indicate that the bank has a well-defined framework for credit terms, with affordable lending interest rates, suitable repayment periods, and effective collateral for debt recovery. However, lending rates and collateral affect the borrowing capacity of clients.Statistical analysis, including Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis, reveals a positive and significant relationship between credit terms and financial performance (r = 0.591**, p < 0.01). Risk identification contributes significantly (0.417) to the financial performance at FINCA Uganda. Similarly, the study finds a positive and significant relationship between credit risk assessment and financial performance (r = 0.486**, p < 0.01), with risk assessment contributing 0.219 to financial performance. Regarding credit risk management, the bank has an established framework, competent personnel, and effective credit management mechanisms, which positively affect financial performance (r = 0.405**, p < 0.01), with risk mitigation contributing 0.221.Based on the study's conclusions, credit terms, clientele characteristics, and credit risk management are all positively associated with financial performance. Credit terms have the highest contribution, followed by credit risk assessment and clientele characteristics. The study recommends enhancing staff capacity in objective risk identification, analyzing associated risks in credit terms, exploring borrowers' capacity to pay, and implementing appropriate collateral and insurance policies. This research suggests that MFIs in Uganda should focus on interest rate risk assessment and internal control systems' impact on financial performance for further investigation

This research investigated the correlation between the internal mechanisms used to manage operations and finances within Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in Uganda, as well as their impact on the institutions' growth. The study specifically examined the internal control systems and financial reporting regulations employed by MFIs in Uganda. It also analyzed the effects of these internal controls on the growth of MFIs, along with the influence of financial reporting regulations on their growth. The research utilized a case study research design, employing mixed methods that encompass both quantitative and qualitative approaches, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject. A sample size of 158 respondents was selected from UGAFODE Microfinance, the organization where the study was conducted, using both random and purposeful sampling techniques. Primary data was collected through interviews and questionnaires, while secondary data was gathered through a review of relevant documents. The findings of the study indicated that UGAFODE had effective internal control processes and adhered to sound financial reporting regulations (Mean Score: 4.3, SD: 0.4), demonstrating a commitment to maintaining the integrity of its operations in the industry. Additionally, the research revealed a significant positive relationship between internal controls and the growth of MFIs in Uganda (r = .657**, p = 0.002). Based on these findings, it was concluded that there is a noteworthy correlation between internal controls, financial reporting, and the growth of MFIs in Uganda. The results suggest that effectively managing financial reporting plays a predictive role in the growth of MFIs in Uganda.
