Nabugudde Susan, Kiwanuka Rashid


Abstract

The study examined the challenges and opportunities in implementing effective human resource management practices within Uganda Broadcasting Corporation (UBC). A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing questionnaires and interviews to collect data from 60 respondents comprising HR officers, departmental heads, and operational staff. The study revealed significant challenges including inadequate training and development programs (78.3% of respondents), limited career advancement opportunities (71.7%), poor compensation structures (68.3%), and ineffective performance management systems (65%). However, opportunities were identified in leveraging technology for HR processes (83.3%), developing structured training programs (76.7%), and improving employee engagement mechanisms (80%). The findings indicated that while UBC faced substantial human resource management obstacles, particularly in talent retention and employee motivation, there existed considerable potential for transformation through strategic interventions. The study concluded that addressing compensation disparities, implementing robust performance management systems, and investing in employee development were critical for enhancing organizational effectiveness. Recommendations included adopting integrated HR information systems, establishing clear career progression frameworks, and fostering a performance-driven organizational culture to position UBC competitively within the broadcasting industry.
