three hundred and eighty-four respondents (150) comprising of 60 males and one 90 females were used as a sample of
the study respectively for ensuring good coverage. This is in line with Slovenes formula for determining sample size.
An instrument developed by the researcher titled the impact of poor solid waste management on public health
questionnaire was used for data collection the instrument was validated and reliability index of 0.84 was obtained.
The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics for research questions Likert scale. The result of the
study revealed among others that; poor solid waste disposal lead to outbreak of diseases as the result shows that
majority of the respondent were of the view that poor solid waste disposal leads to outbreak of diseases as proof by
50% of the respondents. The study concluded that Proper solid waste disposal should be used to ensure public health
safety. The study recommended among others that the community leaders of each ward should be encouraged to

The purpose of the study was to examine the role of women empowerment and poverty eradication in Kyenjojo district. The
objectives of the study were: to find out the role of women empowerment and poverty eradication in Kyenjojo district; (ii) to
identify the challenges affecting women empowerment in Kyenjojo district; (iii) to suggest possible solutions to the challenges
affecting women empowerment and poverty eradication in Kyenjojo district. The researcher adopted a cross- sectional research
design for the study. The study used questionnaire and interview guide to obtain data from all officials and interviews from
women groups and household heads. In all, 191 respondents were selected through purposive, and simple random sampling
techniques. Data was collected by using interviewing, observation and questionnaire methods. Statistical analysis was done using
Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS 16.0) and Microsoft excel 2007.The study concludes that women empowerment
has promoted self-employment, reduced gender-based violence in most families, and reduced on the level of income inequality.
Women empowerment was found to be facing a number of challenges like low levels of income, low levels of mobilization and
weak leaders. The study also concludes that there is need to reduce on interest rates and mortgage on loans for women as a
solution to the challenges facing women empowerment in the district. There is still need to support women through sensitization
meetings and workshops. The study, among other things, recommended that government should team up with the local rural
banks to negotiate for low interest rate and flexible payment terms to encourage more women to acquire more loans for their
businesses.

This study investigated the relationship between work-life balance (WLB) and employee performance at Uganda
Christian University (UCU), Mukono. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was employed, utilizing a
structured questionnaire administered to a stratified random sample of 150 academic and administrative staff, in-depth
interviews with 15 key informants, and analysis of secondary performance data. Quantitative data were analyzed using
both SPSS for descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, and bivariate correlations, and STATA for multiple logistic
regression to model the predictors of high work-life conflict and high performance. The results revealed that high
workload was the most significant predictor of work-life conflict, with affected staff being 3.86 times more likely to
experience high conflict. A lack of flexible working hours and technology intrusion were also significant contributing
factors, with odds ratios of 2.51 and 2.25, respectively. Academic staff were significantly more vulnerable than their
administrative counterparts. Crucially, the regression analysis demonstrated a strong positive relationship between
good WLB and performance; staff with good WLB were three times more likely to be high performers. Supervisor
support and job autonomy were key facilitators of performance, while high workload had a severe negative impact,
reducing the odds of high performance by 57%. The study concluded that work-life imbalance at UCU Mukono,
driven primarily by excessive workload, institutional inflexibility, and the "always-on" culture, is a direct and
significant determinant of diminished employee performance. This undermines both staff well-being and the
university's strategic objectives. It was recommended that the university implement a comprehensive workload
management system, formalize flexible work arrangements, establish a "Right to Disconnect" protocol, and enhance
supportive leadership training. These actions are essential for translating the university's mission of a "complete
person" into tangible human resource practices that secure sustainable institutional performance and employee wellbeing.

This study examined the influence of leadership styles on organizational performance at Uganda Electricity
Generation Company Limited (UEGCL). The objectives were to identify the dominant leadership styles among middle
and senior management, assess the level of organizational performance using both employee perceptions and objective
metrics, and determine the relationship between leadership styles and organizational performance outcomes. A crosssectional research design was employed, and data were collected through questionnaires administered to employees,
interviews with management, and organizational performance records. Multiple linear regression analyses were
conducted to examine the relationships between leadership styles and performance indicators. The results revealed
that transformational (β = 0.421, p < 0.001) and transactional (β = 0.356, p = 0.001) leadership styles were the most
dominant and positively influenced organizational performance. Conversely, laissez-faire leadership (β = -0.229, p =
0.006) negatively affected performance. Organizational performance, as measured by employee productivity,
operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and financial outcomes, was significantly associated with the prevalent
leadership styles. Transformational leadership was particularly impactful, fostering innovation, employee motivation,
and strategic alignment, while transactional leadership enhanced operational efficiency and accountability. Laissezfaire approaches, however, were associated with reduced employee engagement and lower overall performance
outcomes. It was concluded that leadership style was a critical determinant of UEGCL’s organizational performance.
Transformational and transactional leadership positively influenced employee productivity, operational efficiency,
customer satisfaction, and financial performance, while laissez-faire leadership undermined these outcomes. The study
recommended that UEGCL should promote transformational leadership through targeted training, mentorship, and
coaching programs, strengthen transactional leadership mechanisms via structured performance management and
reward systems, minimize laissez-faire practices through accountability and skill development, enhance employee
engagement and motivation, and implement continuous monitoring and evaluation systems to ensure sustainable
performance improvements.
