It was also guided by the objectives of investigating the connection between contract administration and contract effectiveness. A sample of 109 participants was studied using a cross-sectional methodology. Data were analysed using quantitative techniques, descriptive statistics, and regression, correlation, and inferential analysis. According to descriptive findings, employee competency levels were high and contract achievement and leadership were both good. According to regression analysis, personnel competency and contract management were both very significant and favourable predictors of contract success. Thus, it was determined that staff capabilities are crucial for executing contracts, contract administration is necessary for contract performance, and contract management in organizations depends on staff competences. More specifically, staff knowledge and abilities have an impact on the fulfillment of contracts, and contract management as well as staff competencies when coupled are essential for contract achievement in organizations. As a result, it was advised that directors or managers of organizations should assure effective contract research.miu.ac.ug/publications 207 METROPOLITAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH ISSN: 1813-4270 Vol. 2 Issue 3, June - 2023, Pages: 207-235 administration, improve staff competencies, and jointly implement successful contract management and improve employee competencies.
