... Effectiveness, according to Heilman and Kennedy-Phillips (2011), is useful in assessing the progress made toward achieving goals and fulfilling missions. According to (Nalwoga & Dijk, 2016), effectiveness encompasses a number of unique desired qualities of administration related to program goals, such as appropriateness (coordinating with the administration to meet customer wants), openness (reasonableness), quality (fulfilling necessary guidelines), and results. Efficiency, in the words of Low (2000), is concerned with the relationship between inputs and yields. ...

This study examines how strategy implementation affects Ugandan state agencies’ performance. It conceptualizes strategy implementation as operationalization and institutionalization, and measures performance by efficiency and effectiveness. This study surveyed 160 state agencies using a cross-sectional design and a structured questionnaire. The top management team (TMT) members of each agency, including CEO/Managing Director, Deputy/Assistant CEO, Corporation Secretary, and Heads of Department, were the respondents. At least three TMT members from each agency participated in the online survey, which was chosen due to the COVID-19 restrictions. The data analysis methods were factor analysis, descriptive, and multilinear regression analysis. The study adhered to the ethical principles of informed consent, confidentiality, and anonymity. Ugandan state agencies perform better when they implement their strategies effectively. The statistical analysis reveals that institutionalization is a key driver of performance outcomes, with a positive and highly significant coefficient (p < 0.000). On the other hand, operationalization has a positive but insignificant coefficient (p = 0.140), indicating a weak link between operationalization and performance. These findings highlight the importance of aligning the strategy with the organization’s internal environment. The study provides invaluable contribution the realm of strategic management, particularly within the public sector, focusing primarily on the performance of state agencies in Uganda. It is groundbreaking research that explores this relationship in a developing country. It methodically examines the profound effect that the execution of various strategies has on these entities. This study contributes to the strategic management literature in the public domain. The insights and recommendations derived from this study are valuable for professionals and policymakers involved in creating and implementing strategic plans within the public sector. This study offers practical and theoretical contributions for strategy implementation and performance in public sector contexts. It suggests that state agency managers and policymakers should foster a supportive culture, enhance leadership skills, facilitate communication channels, allocate adequate resources, and adapt to environmental changes to improve strategy execution and outcomes. It also adds to the literature on strategic management in public sector contexts, especially in developing countries.

Purpose: This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of intangible assets in increasing sustainable competitive advantage and performance in microfinance institutions as well as the influence of strategic flexibility as a moderating variable. Theoretical framework: The five variables studied, namely intellectual capital and social capital, each measured with three dimensions as independent variables, sustainable competitive advantage as variable intervening and performance as dependent variables, and the influence of strategic flexibility moderation. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted with a quantitative approach; questioners were given to MFI leaders in Madura while analysis of the influence of each variable using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques with the help of SmartPLS 3.0 software. Findings: The results of the analysis show that intellectual capital has a significant effect on sustainable competitive advantage and performance, social capital has a significant impact on sustainable competitive advantage but does not affect performance, while strategic flexibility weakens the influence of intellectual capital on firm performance and strengthens the effect of social capital on performance. Research, Practical & Social Implications: The following study can be more detailed by measuring and exploring the influence of each dimension, both social capital and intellectual capital dimensions. Company leaders must continue to increase the value of intellectual capital and develop social relations and utilize these relationships in alternative strategies. Originality/value: This study investigates the influence of intellectual capital and social capital on sustainable competitive advantage and performance in a hyper-competitive business environment as well as the effect of moderation of strategic flexibility with research objects in Islamic microfinance institutions.

The non-acute health charity sector forms part of the global health services industry. Organisational Performance Measurement (OPM) is fundamental for modern business to achieve sustained excellence yet is under-utilised by non-acute health charities. The Non-Acute Health Charity Performance Implementation Framework (NCPI Framework) was developed to support non-acute health charities undertaking OPM. A non-acute health charity case study undertook a 12-month OPM implementation process using the NCPI Framework. This study had three aims. Firstly, to understand the perceptions of staff employed by the case study organisation regarding their experience of the 12-month NCPI Framework implementation process, secondly to identify whether an interrelationship existed between the NCPI Framework's implementation elements and the staff's perspectives, and thirdly, identify areas of strength and improvement which could enhance the NCPI Framework's effectiveness. Data were collected post implementation and analysed thematically from open-ended question responses from an anonymous survey and semi-structured interviews. Participants supported the introduction of OPM and valued the NCPI Framework's structured implementation guidelines. Six interrelated themes were identified: clarity, adaptability, alignment, transparent communication, capability and accountability. Participants suggested adaptations to enhance the NCPI Framework's impact. A culture aligned with organisational learning was identified as potentially having a positive impact on the NCPI Framework's implementation. The NCPI Framework may also have relevance and application to the non-profit industry beyond non-acute health care and for use in program development and service quality initiatives.
... However, measuring organizational performance can be quite confusing because it is not a single construct but a multidimensional construct (Kaplan & Norton, 1992;Moore, 1995) which means that measuring organizational performance involves many dimensions. Kaplan and Norton, (1992); Moore, (1995) ;Nalwoga, (2016) proposed four dimensions namely inputs where the focus is on the resources used to produce the product and services, activity focuses on the action taken to produce the product/services, output focuses on the volume of products and services produced and outcome focuses on the impact of products and services produced. While Draghici, et al. (2014) hold that measuring organizational performance can be from three sources which are efficiency, effectiveness and pertinence. ...

Background Organisational performance measurement (OPM) is an evidence-based tool for planning business improvement and creating sustainable competitive advantage. Despite its value, non-acute health charities under-utilise OPM. The purpose of this paper is to provide the rationale and a detailed description of an OPM implementation model developed specifically for non-acute health charities. The aim of this new model is to encourage uptake of OPM in this sector. Methods The authors investigated the understanding and use of OPM in the non-acute health charity sector through a large mixed methods study. Multiple research activities, including PRISMA systematic reviews and two case study evaluations, identified factors and activities that are important for successful implementation of OPM in non-acute health charities. These were then integrated to form an implementation model. Results The resultant implementation model is a methodological tool designed to account for, and respond to, the specificities and strategic management needs of the non-acute health charity sector. It integrates five distinct yet interconnecting components – a theoretical framework; guiding principles; an implementation framework; measurement domains; and a monitoring and improvement tool. Conclusions The innovative OPM implementation model was designed as an evidence-informed approach to support the implementation of OPM in the non-acute health charity sector. It is titled the Non-Acute Health Charities Measurement Advantage Implementation Model (MAIM). Future studies should test the model in different organisational contexts and the impact of OPM on non-acute health charity performance.

The study aims to examine the effect of the work ethics of employees on work performance. To deepen the concept and establish the theories of the study, the literature was reviewed. The study applies the descriptive assessment and correlational research design. It used research questionnaires to gather the data from the respondents. The population of the study was all the employees of the Divine Word College of Laoag. The study found that the work ethics of employees along three components (the attitude toward the work itself, moral attitude toward the work and intrinsic motivation) are considered high and also their work performance along with task and contextual performance is high, while the counterproductive behaviour is low. In terms of the correlation between work ethics and individual work performance, the results conclude that overall, there is a significant correlation between work ethics and individual work performance. But taking the dimensions of work ethics separately, onl
