This study examines the role of conflict management strategies in enhancing organizational effectiveness within the context of ethical leadership inspired by the legacy of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere. Focusing on public and private sector institutions in Chake Chake-Pemba, Zanzibar, the research explores how selected conflict resolution approaches, namely competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating, align with ethical governance principles and influence institutional performance. Employing a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 160 purposively selected employees using structured questionnaires. Analysis was conducted through descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression, facilitated by SPSS. The findings reveal that competing and collaborating strategies significantly improve organizational outcomes, reflecting Nyerere’s emphasis on principled dialogue, accountability, and shared leadership. Conversely, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating approaches showed limited or weak influence on organizational effectiveness, suggesting the need for more proactive and ethical engagement in resolving disputes. Correlation analysis further confirmed strong positive associations for competing and collaborating strategies, while avoiding and accommodating displayed minimal relational strength. Grounded in Nyerere’s ethical framework, the study recommends the institutionalization of participatory decision-making processes, team collaboration, and formal conflict mediation training to build leadership capacities that foster sustainable organizational development. These strategies, reflective of Nyerere’s vision for harmonious and people-centred governance, are essential for cultivating conflict-resilient organizations in Zanzibar and beyond.

Domition, Jasson; Mlelwa, Kenneth This study aimed to assess the socio and psychological impacts of internet use among youth in Tanzania. It examined the extent of internet use, socio effects, and psychological effects on this group. Data were collected from 88 respondents in the Kinondoni Municipal area using a convergent parallel design. The study found that while the internet and technology are important, they can become problematic when they replace human interaction. Online risks such as addiction, cyberbullying, and sexual solicitation were associated with negative consequences for youth. Furthermore, the study revealed an increase in psychological effects among youth due to internet usage. To address these findings, it is recommended that youth understand both the negative and positive effects of the internet. Parents should take steps to protect their children, utilizing technology to block access to inappropriate content. However, it is crucial for parents to supplement these measures with active supervision and guidance. By promoting awareness and responsible internet use, stakeholders can address the socio and psychological impacts of internet use among youth in Tanzania.
