The Academic Profession in Tanzania
The academic profession in developing countries faces numerous challenges that affect its effectiveness and sustainability. I explores these issues using Tanzania as a case study, with the aim of shedding light on the structural and systemic factors impacting higher education in similar contexts. Employing a qualitative research methodology, I draws on documentary analysis and in-depth interviews to generate both new insights and a synthesis of e…
The International Work Addiction Scale (Iwas)
Teacher preparation and continuous professional development
This paper examines the ‘missing links’ inherent in Tanzania's teacher education to argue for renewed thinking in preparing teachers for the twenty-first century. It does so by employing a narrative literature review as its research approach and reflective perspectives on educational debates regarding the quality of teachers in the country to construct new knowledge. Our findings call for new reforms in recruiting and training teachers to incorpo…
Do university academics’ thinking styles account for their job satisfaction? A cross-sectional study
Leadership styles of academic deans and department heads
Purpose Leadership has been recognised as a critical factor for employees' job satisfaction. However, much remains to be learned about how university academics who work in developing country contexts perceive their head of departments (HoDs) and deans' leadership styles and how such leadership styles influence their job satisfaction. Therefore, extending earlier research on higher education leadership, this study was pioneered to examine deans' a…
School principals versus teachers’ expectations
Academics’ job satisfaction in Tanzania’s higher education
Employees’ job satisfaction is critical for better work performance, reduced turnover intention, enhanced organizational commitment, and decreased job burnout. In the last several decades, numerous studies have assessed the association between employees’ work environments and job satisfaction globally. However, little research has addressed academics’ job satisfaction in non-European countries, and studies of Tanzania are particularly scarce. Dra…
Fostering Graduate Employability
Globalization, partly spurred by technological innovation such as artificial intelligence and robotics, continues to disrupt not only economic trajectories and business models, especially in the developed world, but also the knowledge and skill requirements for graduates entering the labor market. A growing corpus of literature on graduates' employability has identified barriers to employment ranging from skills mismatch to a lack of soft skills.…
The Paradox of Financing Public Higher Education in Tanzania and the Fate of Quality Education
This article examines the sources of funding for public university education in Tanzania. The article also examines the trends in Other Charges and Capital Development funding for selected public universities in Tanzania taking a leap of years from 2010/2011 to 2015/2016 and their implications for quality issues in the provision of higher education. Results indicate that the sources of financing for public universities in Tanzania are unreliable …
