Assessment of Workplace Counselling Satisfaction to Employees in Public Institutions: A Case Study of Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology Kishoma, Hanifa A.; Daninga, Phillip D. The study aimed to assess workplace counselling satisfaction to employees in public institutions by using the Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology as a case study. A case study design was adopted. The study applied a mixed method research approach by using both qualitative and quantitative techniques of research. Simple random sampling and purposive sampling were used to obtain the sample units for the study. In-depth interviews and questionnaires were instruments used to collect data from respondents. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Findings revealed that a relatively higher number of respondents (58.3%) acknowledged counselling services were provided at their organization leaving a relatively lower number of respondents who were not aware of the availability of formal or informal counselling available at COSTECH. Awareness should be made among employees to gain knowledge of the availability of workplace counselling at COSTECH and the public institutions at large. JOURNAL

Reforms Towards Ethical Leadership for Effective Public Service Delivery in Tanzania: Perspectives from the Local Government Authorities Maliganya, Willy; Badi, Lwidiko Globally, transparent, accountable, and efficient governance for the sustainable development of nations requires ethical leadership. The unethical behaviour among leaders has been widely spread among organizations in recent times and is among the problems facing Sub-Saharan African countries, particularly Tanzania. Trust in leadership is declining, and this is affecting public service delivery. Although various institutions in the public sector have undergone various reforms to address the situation, many African Governments still face leadership and governance challenges that result in poor public service delivery. Most countries, including Tanzania, have seen huge maladministration of public funds and corruption, hence poor service delivery. Although reforms to address challenges of unethical leadership have been done in African countries, most have focused on the private sector, neglecting the public sector, where citizens' lives depend much more. The public sector reforms transform service delivery; however, such reforms have proven ineffective in Tanzania. This chapter assesses the role of ethical leadership in enhancing effective public service delivery in Tanzania. Specifically, the chapter aims to identify the sectoral-wise reforms that have been implemented, their effects on effective public service delivery, the challenges that inhibit their success or implementation, and strategies used to enhance them for effective public service delivery in the country's local government authorities (LGAs). The analysis uses secondary data from document reviews pertinent to the topic, and the generated data is analyzed using MAXQDA qualitative data analysis software. The analysis showed that despite ethical leadership and reforms in the country, unethical practices still exist and significantly affect service delivery in LGAs. The study recommends strategies such as improved salaries, training, motivation, and incentives to 361 improve the reforms toward ethical leadership for effective public service delivery in LGAs. The highlights in this chapter prompt the responsible authorities to produce effective measures for combating unethical practices and uphold the highest possible ethical standards in the rubric of new public management in Tanzania.

Leaders with Milestones: China's Leadership Role in National Development and Strategic Insights for Tanzania Considering Behavioural Leadership Theory Mnyavanu, Adam Michael; Mtoi, Edna H. China’s transformation from a poor developing nation into an economic giant today offers a great lesson for Tanzania. In this paper, the authors put the discourse on leadership for Tanzania in the context of lessons from Chinese leadership styles since 1949, when China became a republic. This scoping literature review examines the behavioural theory of leadership as it relates to China’s political environment. This study examines six crucial behavioural theories of leadership dimensions: observable actions and decision-making, policy implementation and influence, leadership styles and interpersonal skills, public display of support and legitimacy, informal leadership channels, and historical impact and legacy on China leadership to provide insights for Tanzanian leaders. A thorough examination of seventy-three primary sources yields insights into China’s historical legacy, decision-making procedures, and leadership structure. Tanzania’s political environment and China’s leadership dynamics are compared, providing insightful insights into Tanzania’s leadership development. Prioritizing accountability, inclusivity, and transparency; creating open lines of communication; putting policies into action with quantifiable results; encouraging public participation; utilising unofficial networks for efficient governance; and taking historical significance into account when making decisions. Tanzanian leaders can improve governance efficacy and promote sustainable development by implementing these insights. JOURNAL

Constitutionalism and Transfer of Power in Central and West Africa Mosha, Ambiliasia; Karisti, Mnyako One of the phenomena that Africa and the world are currently witnessing is a chain of military takeovers of countries’ highest offices, the state, in Central and West Africa’s states. This phenomenon symbolizes the abuse of constitutionalism, which would have warranted a smooth transfer of power through competitive elections. Additionally, instead of this phenomenon being welcomed by citizens with condemnation and demonstrations of dissatisfaction and defence of constitutionalism, the contrary is being witnessed. The citizens are seen celebrating and cheering on the coup leaders for their bravery, which is presumed to be ending the years of suffering from economic hardships allegedly induced by the constitutionally elected leaders. Examining the status quo in selected Central and West African countries, this paper assesses how constitutionalism seems to be being upheld. The authors conducted an online literature search, which included the purposefully selected literature regarding constitutionalism and power transition in Africa in general and in Niger, Chad, and Gabon in particular. Textbooks, journal articles, media news, and conference proceedings were selected from online search engines such as Google, Google Scholar, Google Advanced Search, and ePDF. Text-based news from news broadcast organizations’ websites, including BBC, Africa news, and Voice of Africa, was also obtained. This paper establishes that the encroachment of constitutionalism in the understudied countries is the result of the presence of constitutions that cannot preside supreme, bad governance, disregard for the rule of law, and intractable military and anti-imperialism sentiments. Additionally, for constitutionalism to triumph, the constitution must be infallible and preside supreme, and any amendments should follow constitutional procedures, which include inclusion and by responsible institutions. The paper concludes that constitutionalism is a process that guides the relationship between the state and the people and therefore needs to be adhered to consistently. It warns that the phenomena witnessed in Central and West African countries might escalate to other parts of Africa as well, in which constitutionalism is disregarded. JOURNAL
