Annualized Stock Market Returns Volatility: An Evidence of Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange
(Tanzania Institute of Accountancy, 2022-12) Mwidege, Asheri .M.
Financial market players raise a concern about returns volatility anomalies. Yet, the day effects of stock market return instability in the Dar es Salaam financial market are not known. The present study, investigated the day effects on returns using time series data for the years 1998 through 2020. The return of market stocks was analysed using Win Rat and E-views. The results showed that the day of and the month of the year outcome existed in the return equation only with a constant decay rate (  + = 0 . 75 ) meaning that the unpredictability forecast reverts to its unrestricted mean at the proportion of 0.75 per transaction period. Moreover, it was found that the lowest monthly returns spread were observed for TCC and the highest for the whole market while the maximum and nethermost daily returns occurred on Wednesdays and Tuesdays, respectively. Furthermore, it was found that the positive January effect was observed in the market and monthly mean returns were positive with the lowest returns in December. The study concludes that that day’s effects impacted the market stock return caused by the volatility effect on returns. It is therefore recommended that rational investors should invest in the market for their future gains.
Assessment of Current Post-Harvest Handling Techniques for Mango and Avocado in Mbeya Region, Tanzania: Challenges and Opportunities for Improvement
(Elsevier, 2025-07-31) Mng’ong’o, Marco E.; Matimbwa, Hadija; Komanya, Absalom; Maro, Lilian; Mshora, Abubakar M.
Mango (Mangifera indica) and avocado (Persea americana) are valuable fruits in Tanzania, known for their nutritional and economic importance. However, their perishability leads to significant post-harvest losses, especially for smallholder farmers in Mbeya. The limited knowledge about post-harvest handling identifies a research gap. This study assessed practices and challenges among mango and avocado farmers to improve handling techniques. A survey of 150 smallholder farmers in Kyela and Rungwe districts (August–September 2024) examined harvesting, storage, transportation, and post-harvest challenges. Data analysis revealed that 64 % of farmers use traditional harvesting methods that lead to mechanical damage. While 68.8 % manually hand-harvest, others rely on tree shaking (8.3 %) and sticks or stones (18.8 %), further increasing fruit damage. Storage at ambient temperature (46 %) fails to extend shelf-life, causing rapid quality deterioration. Trans portation by motorcycle (44 %) and head carrying (34 %) exposes fruits to damage. Key challenges included fruit drop (36 %), rotting before harvest (28 %), and insect infestation (24 %). Only 23.4 % of farmers had reliable market access, highlighting a major constraint. Education level influenced challenges, with lower-educated farmers facing more rotting and pest issues. Findings indicate current post-harvest practices are inadequate, leading to major losses. Simple, cost-effective technologies like edible coatings and training on improved har vesting, storage, and transportation are necessary. Investment in affordable cold storage and better transport infrastructure is crucial. This study provides actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders to enhance mango and avocado value chains in Tanzania
Determinants Of Entrepreneurial Intentions Of Graduates: An Evidence Of Mbeya University Of Science And Technology, Tanzania
(International Journal of Research in Social Sciences, 2014-08) Mwidege, Asheri .M.; Rogath, Herieth; Ngimba, Christopher; Sanga,Abbas
It’s argued that, university graduates have enormous potential for entrepreneurial and economic development. However, little information is available on how competence based education training (CBET) systems has a likelihood to alleviate the problem of graduates being job seekers. Therefore, this study assessed the perceived entrepreneurial skills empowerment for self employment of students. This study was conducted at Mbeya University of Science and Technology and experimental research design was employed. Stratified proportionate simple random and purposive sampling was used. Closed ended questionnaires were used to collect data in which 352 students were interviewed. Descriptive and quantitative estimation were methods for data analysis by using SPSS and STATA. Findings showed that students’ level of study, mothers’ occupation, knowledge to solicit funds, frequency of attending short courses had significant influence on students’ perceived self employment. Based on these results, it is concluded that level of study and knowledge to solicit funds had strong influence on self employment of students after their graduation. Therefore, it is recommended that the University should ensure that students have access to financial sources so as to become self employed and job creators.
Does Tanzania Social Action Fund intervention a panacea to food insecure vulnerable rural poor people?
(International Journal of Research in Social Sciences, 2014-08) Mwidege,Asheri .M.; Mlambiti,M.E.; Damas, P.
Development intervention is increasingly reported as a means of improving the livelihoods of the vulnerable poor people. However, little information on what could have been happened if there could be no intervention is available. This study was conducted to assess the livelihood impact of Tanzania Social Action Fund intervention in Agriculture for vulnerable communities in Makete and Rungwe Districts. This research examined whether intervention in food security is a panacea for the vulnerable communities. A quasi-experimental design was used to collect a sample of 239 and 115 recipient and non-recipient households and triangulation approaches were employed, respectively. Paired t-test, chi-square test and phi-coefficient were used to ascertain the significance of the means of differences, comparing sample variance and strength of relationship between qualitative variables, respectively. Results showed that recipients were food insecure than non recipients. Based on these findings, it is concluded that intervention on food security through participation is not a panacea to vulnerable communities. Therefore, it is recommended that intervention should be on prevention basis rather than coping strategies.
Effect of On-the-Job Training on Employee Performance: Insights from Tanzania’s Public Service Management and Good Governance Office
(NG Journal of Social Development, 2024-11-14) Kisokola,Editha M., Matimbwa,Hadija M. Kamala,Mugisha
On-the-job training is widely regarded as a critical factor in enhancing employee performance and organizational productivity. It equips employees with practical skills and knowledge relevant to their roles, fostering efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery. The study examined the effect of on the-job training on employee performance at the President’s Office Public Service Management and Good Governance (PO-PSMGG) in Dodoma. Utilizing a pragmatic philosophy and a mixed methods research approach, data were elicited from 189 respondents and five key informants through questionnaires and interviews. The research employed simple random sampling to select respondents, and the data were subsequently analyzed utilizing frequencies, percentages, multiple linear regression, and content analysis. The results revealed that coaching has a positive yet minimal effect on employee performance, characterized by a coefficient of 0.059 and a significance level of 0.032. Conversely, mentorship emerges as a significantly more robust contributor to performance enhancement, with a coefficient of 0.304 and a highly significant p-value of 0.000. In contrast, job rotation exhibits a negative impact, reflected by a coefficient of -0.069 and lacking statistical significance. This study concludes that mentorship is the most influential factor among the three variables analyzed, significantly improving employee performance. Job rotation appears to have a negligible and potentially adverse effect on performance. The study recommends that organizations invest in comprehensive coaching programs, establish formal mentorship initiatives, encourage job rotation practices, and consistently assess the effectiveness of coaching, mentorship, and job rotation strategies. These measures should ensure alignment with organizational goals while effectively addressing the needs of employees.
Effects of cost sharing on University students’ academic performance at Teofilo Kisanji University in Mbeya City, Tanzania
(International Journal of Research in Social Sciences, 2014-08) Mwachande,Itiha; Mwidege, Asheri .M.; Rogath,Herieth
In the early 1990s, Tanzania re-introduced a policy of students’ university education cost sharing, aimed at reducing financial support in higher learning institutions. However, little information is available on effects of cost sharing on academic performance. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of cost sharing on university students’ academic performance. The study used experimental approach in which stratified random and purposive sampling plans were used to select units for study. Cross sectional data in which a sample of 105 University students and Lecturers from Teofilo Kisanji University and parents were interviewed. Both, open and closed questionnaires were used to collect data through interview schedule and descriptive analysis approach was used. The present study findings showed that cost sharing in universities had negative effect on academic performance. Therefore, it was recommended that, the government should finance or subsidize university tuition fees for those students engaged in higher learning institutions.
Effects of Innovation on Business Performance: Empirical Evidence from Manufacturing Firms in Tanzania
(Tanzania Institute of Accountancy, 2022-12) Mwaifyusi,Hussein.A.; Dau,Ramadhani.K.
Regardless of its relevance for business performance, the influence of innovation on the performance of manufacturing firms in Tanzania is not well documented. Thus, this study aimed to examine the effects of innovation on business performance of manufacturing firms in Tanzania. The study used cross-sectional design and quantitative approach. Copies of a structured questionnaire were administered to 420 participants from 28 manufacturing companies in Dar es Salaam and Coast Regions. An impressive response rate of 93.1% was achieved. Data were tested for reliability using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Tests for normality, multicollinearity and autocorrelation were conducted, and the results showed the data were reliable, normally distributed, free of multicollinearity and autocorrelation problems. Descriptive and multiple regression statistical techniques were employed. The results suggested that a significant positive effect existed between performance of manufacturing firms and product innovation (B=0.705, p=0.001), process innovation (B=0.640, p=0.000) and marketing innovation (B=.818, p=0.000). The obvious implication to industry is that innovation is important to business success of the manufacturing companies, thus the governments should motivate firms to innovate continuously by giving incentives to invest in R&D. Past studies linking innovation and performance have focused on financial measures of performance. The major contribution of the current study is to use non-financial measures of performance such as business growth and responsiveness to change
Enhancing Organizational Performance through Human Resource Incentives: Insights from TANESCO Dodoma, Tanzania
(Mbeya University of science and Technology, 2025-03-01) Mwinuka, Thomas; Matimbwa, Hadija; Kamala, Mugisha
Human resource incentives are crucial for enhancing organisational performance by boosting employee motivation, satisfaction, and performance. A study at TANESCO Dodoma analysed the effects of financial incentives, staff training, and employee recognition using a quantitative methodology and explanatory cross-sectional design. This research provided insights into the immediate effect of these incentives on organisational performance and the overall effectiveness of the employees at TANESCO Dodoma. A study was conducted with 187 employees from TANESCO Dodoma, selected through simple random sampling to ensure representativeness. Data was collected through structured questionnaires to assess employee perceptions and attitudes on the incentives and analysed using multiple linear regression techniques, yielding significant findings. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between various incentives and organisational performance. Specifically, the findings indicate that staff training is the most significant factor in improving performance, with a p-value of p < 0.001. Financial incentives follow closely, showing a notable impact with a p-value of p = 0.01. While staff recognition also plays an important role, its effect is comparatively smaller, with a p-value of p = 0.022. The study highlights the crucial role of human resource incentives at TANESCO Dodoma in driving organisational performance. This study provides context-specific evidence on the contribution of human resource incentives, particularly in a Tanzanian public sector setting, which has received limited attention in prior research. The study recommends optimising financial incentives to boost employee motivation and performance, expanding training programs to enhance skills, and implementing recognition practices to reward exceptional contributions. These strategies emphasise the need for continuous investment in human resources to support sustainable growth and success

(Mbeya University of Science and Technology, 2024-09-30) Mwidege, Asheri M.; Nyigu, Christopher
A robust financial management system forms the foundation for business growth and long-term survival. However, there is limited information on the financial management practices that contribute to business growth in the Mbinga district. This study examined financial management and working capital management practices. A semi quasi experimental research design was employed, utilizing questionnaires distributed to a sample of 62 business owners. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using the SPSS package. The results indicated that 41.9% of business enterprises employed working capital management practices, while 24% used capital structure management practices. Financial management practices were found to enhance management efficiency with a mean score of 3.74, increase the availability of capital with a mean score of 3.61, and improve operational margins with a mean score of 3.56. The study concluded that financial management practices are crucial for business growth and recommended their implementation. The study also found that capital structure management practices were applied to a lesser extent, although businesses showed an understanding of balancing debt and equity for financial sustainability. These findings suggest that the effective implementation of financial management practices is crucial for the growth and performance of businesses in the district. The study concludes that the integration of sound financial management practices contributes to better financial decision-making, risk mitigation, and resource optimization, leading to business expansion and sustainability. From a policy perspective, the study recommends that regulators and stakeholders encourage firms to leverage debt financing due to its associated tax benefits and advantages for financial sustainability. Theoretically, the findings underscore the relevance of agency theory in understanding the dynamics between managers and shareholders, and the principle of optimal capital structure in maximizing firm value. These insights provide a foundation for future research and practical interventions aimed at improving financial management practices in similar contexts.

Performance of Vat System in Tanzania Since Enactment of The Vat Act in 2014
(Tanzania Institute of Accountancy, 2022-12) Nguvava, Heriel .E.; Athanas, Noah .N.
The 2014 Value Added Tax (VAT) reforms focused on reduction of the base alterations and broadening the tax base and also dealt with several legal drafting issues to enhance the effectiveness of the new VAT law with hopes of enhancing revenue collection. The objective of this article is to assess the performance of VAT system in Tanzania in terms of tax payer’s registration and collection efficiencies. This study adopted a quantitative paradigm whereby data were analysed quantitatively through descriptive statistics and ratio analysis for efficiency measurement. Only secondary data were used in this study. The sources of data were reports from the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the World Bank (WB), IMF and peer-reviewed journal articles on relevant subject matters. The study revealed a total of 4,575 taxpayers who were eligible to be registered for VAT but who were not captured by the VAT tax system by January 2022. As a result, the government is estimated to have lost about TZS 23,350.09 billion during that period. Furthermore, it was found that the contribution of VAT to GDP is 3.6 per cent which is below the country’s expectation threshold of 6 per cent annually and is below the East African Community member states’ average of 4.4 per cent. Both the VAT Efficiency and C-efficiency ratios were not performing well; their averages were 21.9 and 20.7 per cent respectively, below the EAC regional average of 25 per cent. It is recommended to the government to increase VAT registration threshold and reduce the VAT rate. TRA is urged to decentralize the registration of VAT taxpayers to regions so as to improve compliance and administrative efficiency. The study further recommends to TRA to audit the 4,575 taxpayers whose turnovers are above TZS 100 million but are not yet registered and captured within the VAT tax net.

(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2021) Mwidege, Asheri
This study examined the stock returns volatility in Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange for the year 1998 through 2018 period. The study employed quantitative research design on time series data in which autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity and generalised autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity models were used determine the existence of volatility. The study employed Win Rat and E-views Econometric software for data analysis. Serial correlation and unit root analysed to determine seasonal dependencies of the stock market returns and stationarity, respectively. Results showed that all time series of returns were non-stationary except at market level and volatility of stock returns had a constant decaying coefficient value of 0.75 per trading period. The study concluded that the shocks to volatility were more persistent and had a slower and constant decaying rate in various trading periods in DSE. Therefore, it was recommended that the public should buy and sell shares in the market.

(International Journal of Research in Social Sciences, 2014-08) Mwidege, Asheri .M.; Rogath, Herieth
Fires are considered a potential threat to sustainable development of markets. However, little information is available on the sources and socio economic effects of market fires. This study therefore, investigated the sources of market fires, socio economic effects and risk mitigation taken by micro entities to protect business loses in Mbeya City market segments. This study used a quasi-experimental research design in which chain referral sampling plan was employed. Semi structured questionnaires were used to collect cross sectional data of which 55 micro business participants were interviewed. Descriptive statistics information was obtained by using SPSS package. Survey results showed that 83.6%, 81.8% and 89.1% of interviewed respondents had formal businesses, self employed and retailers, respectively and those were affected by fire (100%). Furthermore, it was found that 90.9% of businesses were not insured after fire outbreak. Moreover, 72.7% of interviewed participants’ families’ livelihood were affected because they were depending on businesses they operated. It is therefore, concluded that most of participants interviewed in small businesses were self employed, not risk averse and they lost families’ livelihoods. t is therefore, recommended that the government should support small business to enhance self employment and should provide education on insurance.
Sustainability of Productive Assets Created for Vulnerable Communities: An Impact Assessment of Tanzania Social Action Fund Intervention
(International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences, 2014-06) Mwidege,Asheri M.; Mlambiti,M.E.; Damas, P.
Lack of projects sustainability raises more doubts about the long-term contribution of intervention to income expansion and poverty reduction. Little evidences are known on the sustainability of the productive assets created for vulnerable groups. Thus, this study was conducted to assess the livelihood impact assessment of Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF) intervention on rural vulnerable groups in Makete and Rungwe Districts, Tanzania. However, this article examined the sustainability of productive assets created. A stratified sample of 239 recipients and 115 non recipients in public works, carpentry, dairy cattle and poultry projects were interviewed. A quasi experimental and cross sectional design was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and instrumental variables / 2SLS approaches were used to analyze data. Results showed that only carpentry project was significantly sustainable. Based on these findings, it was concluded that project sustainability depends on its nature and vulnerability of beneficiaries. This therefore it is recommended that the government should create assets through thorough participatory identification of the nature of projects relevant to the target group(s). In addition, local government authorities should implement assets created through training, supervision and regular field exchange visits.
