Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between management efficiency and productivity of private universities in Somaliland/Somalia, by taking the case of Amoud University, Boroma. It is the source for higher level manpower for specialized sectors of a country. For this, it requires management efficiency: But productivity of private universities in Somaliland had been low. For example in Amoud University, no research was recorded since 2010 and the quality of graduates has been rated at about 48.96% while learning at the university is largely by rote. This called to question of the management efficiency. Guided by Max Weber Bureaucratic Theory. The study adopted quantitative research paradigm, using a cross sectional survey research design, on a stratified sample of 544 respondents of students, managers, administrators and teachers. Data was analyzed using regression. The study found that (a) management efficiency of Amoud University was poor, (b) productivity of Amoud University was low. The researcher recommends that (a) Amoud University develops clear control and guidelines for the minimum and maximum management efficiency (time, money, material and effort) (b) Amoud University reviews its curriculum and make more relevant teaching and learning methods (c) that Amoud University improves the emphasis and weight put on research and innovation

MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY RELATIONSHIP OF PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN SOMALIA (on the Example of the University of Amud)

Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between management efficiency and productivity of
private universities in Somaliland/Somalia, by taking the case of Amoud University, Boroma. It is
the source for higher level manpower for specialized sectors of a country. For this, it requires
management efficiency: But productivity of private universities in Somaliland had been low. For
example in Amoud University, no research was recorded since 2010 and the quality of graduates
has been rated at about 48.96% while learning at the university is largely by rote. This called to
question of the management efficiency. Guided by Max Weber Bureaucratic Theory. The study
adopted quantitative research paradigm, using a cross sectional survey research design, on a
stratified sample of 544 respondents of students, managers, administrators and teachers. Data was
analyzed using regression. The study found that (a) management efficiency of Amoud University
was poor, (b) productivity of Amoud University was low. The researcher recommends that (a)
Amoud University develops clear control and guidelines for the minimum and maximum
management efficiency (time, money, material and effort) (b) Amoud University reviews its
curriculum and make more relevant teaching and learning methods (c) that Amoud University
improves the emphasis and weight put on research and innovation.

ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ И ПРОДУКТИВНОСТЬ ВЗАИМООТНОШЕНИЙ ЧАСТНЫХ УНИВЕРСИТЕТОВ В СОМАЛИ (на примере университета Амуд)

Abstract

Изучены взаимосвязи между управлением эффективностью и продуктивностью частных
университетов в Сомалиленде/Сомали на примере университета Амуд (г.Борама). Он
является источником рабочих кадров наиболее высокого уровня для специализированных
секторов страны, однако нуждается в эффективном управлении. Продуктивность
университетов Сомалиленда находится на очень низком уровне. К примеру, в университете
Амуд с 2010 г. не было зарегистрировано ни одного исследования, а квалификация
выпускников оценивается в 48,96%. Так возник вопрос эффективности управления. В
исследовании использована теория бюрократии Макса Вебера. В обучении была применена
квантитативная исследовательская парадигма, в которой используется поперечное сечение
по стратифицированной выборке респондентов из 544 студентов, менеджеров,
администраторов и учителей. Данные были проанализированы на основе регрессии.
Обнаружено: (а) эффективность управления в университете Амуд была довольно низкой, (б)
продуктивность университета также невысокая. Университету рекомендовано: (а)
разработать систему контроля и рекомендации для минимальной и максимальной
эффективности управления (время, деньги, материал и усилия); (б) пересмотреть учебную
39
программу и методы обучения, для того чтобы сделать процесс обучения и изучения
актуальным и современным; (в) акцентироваться на проведении новых исследований и
внедрении инноваций в свою деятельность.
