▼ Transitional (major) change is occurring more often today than in the past. The University of KwaZulu-Natal has undergone several major changes in recent years, including a merger, restructuring and staff redeployments. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of these changes on staff employed in the Registrar’s Division and to offer recommendations for recovery or improvement, if any. Arising from this aim, the main objectives were to assess specifically the impact on staff morale, perceptions, attitudes as well as the level of communication during the changes. A probability sample of 50 employees was drawn from within the Registrar’s Division. The population size consisted of 200 staff from all sections of the Registrars Division, i.e Legal Services, Student Academic Administration, Information and Communication and Services, Committees Section as well as the Office of the Registrar. A quantitative study was done and data was collected using a questionnaire that was emailed to the sample group. The questionnaire comprised a likert scale consisting of 29 questions. After several attempts, a response rate of only 46% was obtained. An analysis of the data was conducted using SPSS. The findings highlighted deficiencies in staff morale and perceptions as well as communication during the changes. The findings also implied that positive staff attitudes existed within the Division. The primary recommendations made in this study were, that communication must be immediately enhanced at all levels and that the Division has to immediately embark on change management interventions using models of change. It was further recommended that another study be conducted with a much larger sample size to verify these findings. It was also suggested that an inferential analysis be conducted to assess the correlation between communication between change and staff morale and perceptions.

▼ One of the main components of the UKZN College Reorganisation was the reduction of the three-layer into the new two-layer structure consisting of only 4 Colleges and 19 Schools, the creation of fewer, larger “mega” schools, and according to Recommendations 1 & 2, the perennial poor performing schools would be identified and either be merged or closed. The implementation process started in 2011 and the new structure came into effect in January 2012. The administrative staff and in particular professional support, were the most affected in terms of deployment. Some positions became completely redundant as tasks were moved or combined, allowing for the creation of new and revised job portfolios. Due to the study being of an exploratory nature, the exploratory research design was applied in order to explore perceptions and experiences of UKZN’s College Reorganisation Process. A qualitative research approach was used to answer questions based on objectives set to establish and understand the existence of perceptions and experiences. The aim of this research was to accumulate descriptive data from participant’s own spoken words relating to their perceptions and overall experiences. Non-random purposive sampling strategy was applied, and using this particular method, the researcher purposely selected a sample from the target population most relevant to provide quality information to fulfil study objectives. A total number of 15 participants was achieved, a number deemed appropriate for a qualitative research study, where overall workforce concerns can be identified using smaller sample sizes. Three data collection methods (interviews, observation, and focus group discussion) were used. Data was analysed through content analysis using triangulation. Two theories were applied and used interchangeable as primary and secondary, as they influenced each side, the organisation and its people. Both positive and negative, strong and passionate views were equally heard and expressed throughout the entire process of this research project. Feelings of anger, fear and uncertainty, stress and worry, were reportedly experienced almost across the board. Newly appointed staff feared losing their jobs as they felt less advantaged than their long serving peers. A tremendous increase in workload was reported throughout, mainly due to staff reduction but equally, jobs became more focused. A number of challenges were reported on the views about communication, opportunities for training and growth, whilst other views pointed to lots of opportunities that still continued to exist. For others, personal satisfaction and growth was achieved. The institution was fondly described as having gained a positive outlook overall. Operations were centralised leading to easy access and convenience for students and visitors; it turned into a one stop-shop; it came out effective and user-friendly; it worked well for the institution, though staff issues were still a concern.

▼ Rising tuition fees, government reduction of educational funding to match the increment in university enrolment, and perceived social exclusions in university spaces all contributed to the student social movement between 2015-2016 tagged as FeesMustFall on Social Media. The movement has welcomed historical, descriptive, and analytical lenses in deciphering the movement. At the University of KwaZulu-Natal, where the disruptions turned violent and caused the university the most in damaged properties, and huge collateral damage to staff and students alike. This study investigates the impact and influences of social networks on the concerns, causes and consequences of the different modes of engagement as forms of extra-institutional governance in contrast to the formal, institutional modes of university governance. The study applied a mixed method approach for a network analysis of participants. 100 questionnaires and 10 persons of interest were interviewed on the five campuses of the university with a purposive stratified sampling for the surveys and a purposive, snowballing for the interviews. The findings reveal personal, associational, and racial influences on membership of student organizations and participation in the student movement. There was a strong correlation between organizational ties, personal identification from how the university experience has been and funding type to different modes of protests, participation, and perceptions of events. It reveals the university as a microcosm of a society undergoing transformation and betrays the failure of cooptive governance that have been used to contain civil society agitations. Protests are thus seen as the creation of invented spaces for expansion of dialogue, a departure from politics and governance as consensus but instead as dissensus.

▼ With the economic downturn and competitive markets existent in the world, organisations do face challenges and organisations in South Africa are no exception. Observation has been made with regard to organisations facing difficulties in terms of staff turnover due to unhappy and unsatisfied employees. One of the strategies to address this was the introduction of flexible working hours for staff. This study intended to examine this concept of flexible working hours with a focus on female employees. Over the past decade, more women have joined the labour force and in many cases, women have also become the primary breadwinners within their respective households and in turn having to manage all household issues. It is hence becoming a common occurrence for women to prioritise their work over their personal and family life. As a result, women encounter conflict between work and their personal lives that can lead to stress, ill-health and demotivation and in turn contribute to low productivity, absenteeism and staff turnover. Flexible working hours has been shown to promote various benefits such as improved morale, positive attitude towards work, greater job engagement and lower rates of stress and fatigue among others Whilst this is shown in other countries, namely developed countries, minimal research on the subject context exists in South Africa. Therefore, this study aimed to address this gap and examined the impact of flexible working hours on employee performance, motivation and personal life among women (as employees) at a large tertiary institution known as the University of KwaZulu-Natal. A quantitative approach was employed and a census method was used with the target population being all female staff working at the university. A quantitative questionnaire was used as the primary data collection instrument which was electronically distributed and 125 participants responded to the survey. The study was underpinned by the Schein (1988) Organisational Culture theory. Analyses included reliability, frequency, chi-square and correlation analyses. Results holistically show that flexible working hours for female employees can improve productivity and also have a positive influence on employee morale and retention. It can further enhance personal and family life for female employees which in turn boosts motivation and performance. This in turn enhances workplace culture. The study was subject to certain limitations. Recommendations include Human Resource strategy re-alignment, management support, policy change and institutional and legislation level and the effective use of technology.

Globalization is impacting on education worldwide. As a result, the University of KwaZulu- Natal (UKZN), like other universities worldwide, have identified an opportunity to increase their profit margins by expanding their marketing initiatives internationally in order to recruit foreign students. The purpose of conducting this study was to investigate the sustainability of UKZN’s Student Exchange Programme in an increasingly competitive industry. The rationale behind the research is that communication challenges between UKZN, International Partner Universities and students, are threatening the overall success of the student exchange programme, with partners threatening to reduce their student exchange numbers. This rationale was tested via primary research in the form of a questionnaire distributed to international partner universities, who then randomly selected a target sample from students who had recently returned from a UKZN student exchange. Interviews were also conducted with a smaller sample and secondary research, in the form of a literature review of previous research findings and theoretical perspectives, was conducted. The sample comprised of ninety nine international students from first-world countries, who participated in a student exchange to UKZN. Respondent profiles included both male and female second-year tertiary respondents, from the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA). The major findings of the investigation revealed that the majority of respondents agreed that communication challenges at UKZN posed a credible threat to the future success of the exchange programme. UKZN should, therefore, focus on implementing long and short-term communication’s strategies. The research also found that, by addressing international concerns through the training and development of student exchange officers, will help equip officers to deal with a continually changing international relations’ climate.

▼ Violent protest, results in the economy losing billions. The loss takes the form of anxiety, physical destruction and injury to persons disturbed by discontent. University student protest is a global phenomenon. South African universities are no exception and have had to temporarily close at times due to unrest. The Higher Education Sector of South African society is a key contributor to this annual loss in the economy. The University of KwaZulu Natal (UKZN) has been plagued by unrest resulting in a shutdown of the academic programme. The furtive factors that influence the eruption of violent protests, and the resultant implications thereof continue to mystify researchers. As a result, the study has chosen to focus on the initiates that lead to violent student protests at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). Despite South Africa’s progressive constitutions, challenges with how protests are handled remains a concern. Although students are the centre of higher education institutions, researchers have failed to capitalise on student perspectives of academic and social development troubles. The aim of this study was to explore student experiences at a public university and to understand why violent behaviour occurs during student protests. A mixed methods approach was used. Qualitative methods were utilised for the interview process, in addition to a quantitative approach in order to understand key factors leading to violent protests. The dissatisfaction among university students was understood via the combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data was gathered from 72 respondents. 108 questionnaires were distributed. A total of 92% of students and 8% of staff participated in the research. A key trigger in the decision by university students to engage in violent disruptive behaviour, is to have their needs met. Cognisance of early warnings and addressing grievances timeously could minimize violent behaviour in protest. These triggers could act as a dashboard to predict behaviours for responses to mitigate the risk of violent protest.

Any academic programme aiming to achieve success requires regular assessments of its activities to determine areas that need to change or improve. The BAgricExt is considered as one of the potentially pivotal qualifications in agricultural education with a direct link to farmers and primary production. The impact of Agricultural Education and Training (AET) is and will remain considerable in the South African landscape. It is contributing substantially to provide knowledge and skills for production of food and fibre which, in turn adds value to the country’s economy. The quality of education provided in the agricultural field will determine the graduates’ efficiency and ability to contribute to the increase in quality, quantity and efficiency of food and fibre production countrywide. The primary research is presented under three main topics in the form of publishable articles. The first one establishes a framework to assess an undergraduate qualification of any kind. Different elements (input, process, outcomes and influencing factors) to be assessed in the undergraduate qualification are suggested and the most important area to consider as far as qualification performance is concerned are specified. This led to developing a model of assessing an undergraduate qualification. The model is called: ITAPP (Intake, Teaching and Learning, Access to facilities, Performance, and Placement) model. The second paper describes the learning outcomes required to enable graduates to serve effectively as extension practitioners to build the capacity of farmers. In addition to extension theory and practice, the areas of learning include agricultural production, natural resource management, farm business management, and farm engineering. The third part of the literature review establishes a framework showing how better learning can be acquired specifically in the BAgricExt. A qualitative approach, consisting of interviews and focus group discussions with various categories of participants purposefully chosen was followed to collect data. The study was conducted among 65 UKZN students, nine lecturers, three administrative officers and seven potential employers of BAgricExt graduates. With this sample, it was possible to obtain qualitative data and more insights into the research question based on the experiences and knowledge of respondents. Using the ITAPP framework, the learning outcomes required for BAgricExt were established. Learning outcomes were presented based on level descriptors as recommended by the South African government (Higher Education), and determined the environment, including safeguarding quality assurance, conducive to successful completion of the qualification. With reference to the research objective, the study found that the BAgricExt programme… Advisors/Committee Members: Natal%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Worth%2C%20Steven%20Hugh.%22%29&pagesize-30">Worth, Steven Hugh.

▼ Student learning and academic achievement are understood to be interactively linked to teachers, teaching and university systems. Therefore, this study on exceptional academic achievement among undergraduate students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal aimed at understanding how exceptional academic achievement occurs from both academic staff members’ (teachers) and high achieving students’ points of view. The study was theoretically grounded in social cognitive theory and used a qualitative method. Specifically, the researcher used purposive and convenient sampling methods to select 14 participants for the study (i.e., eight academic staff members and six high achieving undergraduate students). All participants either worked or studied in a Humanities field. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with academic staff members while a focus group discussion was held with the high achieving students. The data collected from the participants was transcribed, and thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings from the study suggest that exceptional academic achievement among students is highly influenced by the teaching and learning processes (including clear communication, availability and consultation with lecturers, mentoring and support) that takes place between academic staff members and students. The findings from the study also highlight multiple (intrinsic and extrinsic) enhancers and barriers which influence exceptional academic achievement outcomes amongst undergraduate students. Some central enhancers are peer support, implementation of technology, implementation of tutors, and internal motivation. Some key barriers are lack of space, noisy and over-crowded learning spaces, and lack of trained tutors and practical issues with the use of technology. Nevertheless, being consistent, hard-working and taking responsibility for their learning enables high achieving students to overcome barriers that they experience at university. Improvements are being made by the university and lecturers, to help students excel in their academic outcomes by creating conducive learning environments, creating visible learning structures for students to follow and creating curriculums to suit students’ needs. Lastly, in this study, it was found that it is important for students to excel in their academics as it creates good self-esteem, motivation, healthy competition, consistency and an attitude of commitment to hard work.

▼ The central objective of the present study was to investigate the mental health literacy of the University of KwaZulu-Natal undergraduate Black students. The specific objective was to explore the level of the students’ mental health literacy as a prelude to determining the extent to which there is need to promote the students’ constant awareness of their mental health status. A quantitative research method was employed in implementing the study. A total sample of 128 participants was included in the data collection process. A structured survey questionnaire consisting of 15 questions about mental health disorders and people’s perceptions of mental illness served as the study’s instrument for data collection. The results of the study show that 39.1% of participants were able to identify the major symptoms of common mental health disorders about the excessive use of substances. This comprises less than the simple majority of the participants studied. Furthermore, the results of the study revealed that 42.2% of the participants could accurately identify the symptoms of mental health illness regarding impairment in areas such as social, academic, relationships, and emotional stability. Similarly, the study discovered that 46.1% of the participants could accurately identify a difficulty in concentration, poor memory, and poor decision making as symptoms of mental illness. In addition, only 27.3% of the participants could accurately identify a disturbance in sleeping patterns and a change in appetite as symptoms of mental illness. The results of the study also show that about 28.1% of the participants could accurately identify the non-stop experiences of headache without any medical explanation as a symptom of mental illness. Overall, however, the results of the study suggest that majority of the participants do not have sufficient mental health literacy. The implications of these findings were drawn. The researcher adopted the recommendation by the overwhelming majority of the participants (90.6) that a Mental Health Wellness Centre be established at the University of KwaZulu-Natal to improve the mental health literacy of the students. Implications for further research were also briefly drawn. Advisors/Committee Members: Natal%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Nwoye%2C%20Augustine.%22%29&pagesize-30">Nwoye, Augustine. (advisor).

▼ Due to the huge burden of mental health especially in low- and middle-income countries, there is an increasing shift in mental health policy and practice towards a more comprehensive and integrated health care system. This includes task-shifting whereby non-specialists and other health care resources are leveraged for more effective mental health care service delivery. Central to the success of any comprehensive mental health care which integrates mental health into primary health care is the role of nurses and community health workers who are the backbone of such systems. Thus, it is important to understand their role, experiences and attitudes towards task-shifting and integration of mental health into primary healthcare. This is an area with very limited coverage in research literature. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the attitudes of health care workers towards integration and the ways this could expand their roles through task-shifting. It also examined the level of knowledge about mental health disorders among nurses, with a focus on psychotic disorders, depression, maternal depression, and alcohol use disorder. The study involved in-depth interviews conducted with nurses in selected clinics at the Dr Kenneth Kaunda district of the North West province of South Africa as part of the PRogramme for Improving Mental Health CarE in South Africa (PRIME-SA) intervention. Results show that nurses generally had positive and receptive attitudes towards the idea of task-shifting and integration, which they believed had several advantages. They also showed strong willingness and interest in working with mental health patients. However, the nurses had generally rudimentary and inadequate knowledge of mental health disorders. Within the framework of this limited knowledge, they knew less about psychotic disorders than they did about depression, maternal depression and alcohol use disorders. They also knew less about alcohol use disorders than they did about depression. The study also shows that participants felt that they had insufficient training on mental health care and that this impacted negatively on their ability to assist mental health patients. It is suggested that a further large-scale study is required to better understand the issues highlighted by this study.

▼ Theories regarding the role of language in education state that if a student is taught in a language they do not understand adequately, they will find it difficult or impossible to understand the meaning of academic content. The democratic government suggests that the current nationally official languages of tuition continue to be some of the main barriers to epistemological access for black South African students in public institutions of higher education. In an effort to reform this, they have recommended that these institutions include at least one major provincial indigenous South African language in their institutional language policies and make concentrated efforts to further develop that language as an official language of academia. There have been both celebratory and disapproving reactions to these recommendations from different stakeholders, including tertiary students. The University of KwaZulu-Natal is one of the very few institutions who have heeded the call by including isiZulu in their language policy. In order to explore this university’s Black African students’ perspectives and perceptions of bilingual instruction at their institution, this study held individual open-ended interviews with fourteen purposefully selected students at the Edgewood and Pietermaritzburg campuses. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the interview transcriptions. All the participants’ perspectives on bilingual instruction appeared to be intertwined with their perceptions of language use and esteem in wider social and economic contexts. The students from Edgewood had been undertaking an Honours degree that was officially making use of bilingual instruction. Their perspectives were only positive, and they spoke comprehensively about the pedagogical benefits they had perceived in their experiences. The Pietermaritzburg students had no experience with bilingual instruction at the institution. While some of them disapproved this inclusion of isiZulu, some expressed support, but they stated that this inclusion should be limited to the lower phases of study as a remedial means to improve students’ proficiency in English.

▼ This study aimed to determine the lived experiences of participating students who are born with light skin. The study specifically explored the participants’ understanding of the advantages and disadvantages and challenges associated with being light-skinned. A qualitative design method was used to implement the study. A purposively selected sample of twelve participants from the University of KwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg campus took part in the study regardless of their level of study, of which six were females, and six were males, and they were all Black South Africans. Data was collected using an in-depth interview method. To analyse the results, an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was used. The end goal was to reveal the essence of participants’ experiences brought about by their being born light-skinned, encompassing their accounts as to how they feel as they live with light skin in a society with other people with different skin tones. The results of the study showed that people who are born light-skinned are faced with some specifiable positive and negative experiences arising from the condition of their ‘yellow-bone’ endowment. Some of the positive experiences include: having a positive feeling because of their light skin tone; the feeling of being easily sought out for courtship; the fact that they do not struggle to get a mating partner; and the phenomenon of feeling good for being endowed with a skin colour that is preferred in society. Some of their negative experiences include the crisis of suffering from exclusion and name-calling from some members of the society; the experience of being underestimated, and the negative experience of being treated like people with loose morals. Implications of these findings were examined, and some recommendations were made to encourage further studies along the lines of the present study.

▼ This study analyses the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s (UKZN) online social media (OSM) strategy to determine how it is manifested, its effectiveness and whether the strategy is achieving its stated objectives. This analysis will provide an understanding of UKZN’s strategic intent in using the OSM platform. The effectiveness of UKZN’s OSM strategy from an external or student users’ perspective and an internal or university’s perspective was also investigated. The main OSM sites targeted in this study were Facebook and Twitter. The non-profit Balanced Scorecard framework proposed by Kaplan was the foundation of this study (Kaplan, 2010). This evaluation framework provides steps which can capture and measure the success of an organization’s OSM strategy from a non-profit perspective. While the literature points to studies analysing the OSM strategy of museums, the analysis of the OSM strategy of universities have not been studied in detail. This study is part descriptive and part interpretive. The research adopts a mixed methods approach using both quantitative and qualitative methods. A survey of UKZN students which detailed their experiences and use of the official and unofficial OSM accounts of UKZN was undertaken. Semi-structured interviews of key people who work on UKZN’s OSM accounts, detailing their use of this platform from an internal perspective was also carried out. The main findings showed that UKZN was not effectively communicating and engaging with students via UKZN’s OSM accounts. The OSM strategy is part of the overall strategy of the University, but this strategy does not outline objectives, policies, governance, organisational structure and internal processes related to the OSM platform. The general objectives which are part of UKZN’s strategic plan cannot effectively leverage OSM. There needs to be a specific OSM strategy which outlines objectives for this platform, how UKZN will achieve these objectives and measures to determine if these objectives have been achieved or not. Findings also showed that in some aspects students felt that the unofficial OSM accounts of UKZN were better when compared to UKZN’s official OSM accounts. This study also revealed a low level of engagement on UKZN’s OSM accounts relative to the size of its OSM community Advisors/Committee Members: Natal%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Maharaj%2C%20Manoj%20Sewak.%22%29&pagesize-30">Maharaj, Manoj Sewak.

▼ The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of the rewards offered by UKZN to attract, retain and motivate academic employees. The Reward Preference Questionnaire (RPQ) adopted from Nienaber, Bussin and Henn (2011), and modified by Snelgar, Renard and Venter (2013) was used to collect the data for this study. A total of 140 questionnaires were administered to Westville, Howard College and Medical School campuses with 111 questionnaires completed and returned. Descriptive statistics were utilised to analyse the responses and presented in the form of tables and graphs. Principal component analysis was used to extract factors. Four factors were extracted and named; ie., base pay, benefits, performance recognition and career management and quality work environment.The study found that UKZN academics are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied by base pay, benefits, and performance recognition and career management. However, the study found that the academics at UKZN are highly dissatisfied by quality work environment. The study also found that age, level of education, job level and conditions of service influence reward preferences. In addition, the study found that the respondents view rewards offered by the institution to be unfairly and inconsistently implemented. The respondents indicated that they were unhappy with the way performance management was rated; differences in conditions of service; confusing rewards; unfair implementation of academic promotions and unfair, inconsistent implementation of sabbatical leave. This study recommends that the institution should create reward systems that are based on the academic’s preferences by focusing on benefits, base pay, quality work environment, performance recognition and career management as they were indicated as the reward categories that attract, retain and motivate academics. This study’s findings contribute to knowledge by investigating the most valued rewards categories and the contribution of rewards to attraction, motivation and retention of academic staff. This study will also be beneficial to policy makers, Human Resources Departments and to Higher Education institutions. Furthermore, this study provides evidence to assist the employer in developing suitable and improved rewards packages to enhance the attraction, motivation and retention of academics of high calibre.

▼ 1. Introduction Looking at the policies drafted in 1994 when South Africa became a democratic state, the aim of the study was to investigate if it was feasible to have free higher education when government had already failed the country on the existing policy or promise of free basic education. The question was: If fees were to fall, would this rectify the persistent inequalities of South Africa’s higher education system? 2. Aims and objectives The case for free higher education depends on two principle premises: (a) social equity: expanding advanced education access for poor people, particularly recently underestimated networks, notwithstanding expanding educational cost charges, and (b) development externalities. Given South Africa's abnormal amounts of abilities deficiencies, free higher education is deemed important to get human capital speculation to productive dimensions. The aim of the study was to establish the extent to which South Africa was ready to provide free higher education. The main objective was to find out if such a policy would address endemic inequalities in the country. 3. Methods This is a mixed methods study which employed primary qualitative data collected via desktop research and a bit of field work with the use of surveys and interviews. The decision to use a mixed methods approach was predicated on the understanding that no method is perfect. Secondly, it was to further enrich the study’s findings. Qualitative methodology allows the researcher to explore the nature of the case and to get in-depth understanding of different issues that might involve people’s actions, experiences and attitudes of implementing agents. 4. Results Free education in South Africa is an objective worth seeking after. It is important, particularly for those who are poor and need access to tertiary education but have no means to do so, as well as individuals who accurately consider it to be a privilege and a basic right for the nation. Germany has achieved this goal but unfortunately there is no African country which offers free higher education. There are countries that have tried it, but the expense of it all was far too much. The tremendous test is to make the trademark of “free higher education” attainable. vii 1. Recommendations Flowing from the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made: -We have to agree that poor students must be prioritized in terms of free education. - There should be a formula where parents and the state share costs. Parents must pay what they can afford while the state fills in the rest. In this formula, private sector contributions can be included to subsidize the scheme through corporate bursaries. -There should be a reduction in spending in other priority areas so as to be able to fund free higher education. Although this will impact people negatively, any investment in education is good investment. -Those in positions of power should refrain from corrupt activities so that government would have enough money to invest in higher education. -For the… Advisors/Committee Members: Natal%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Vilakazi%2C%20Fikile%20Mabel.%22%29&pagesize-30">Vilakazi, Fikile Mabel.

▼ University institutions are already overwhelmed by academic challenges without having to worry about crimes that plague the university campuses. The provision of and daily efforts of campus protective services are therefore important in maintaining a peaceful, safe and conducive learning environment. However, constant reports and the increasing levels of crime on campus have led to the call for researchers to investigate the determining factors of these crimes. One critical aspect is that research efforts so far have been focused on the perspective of students on campus crimes and safety; and have not adequately considered to capture the perspective of the campus protective services or security officers. Security officers are often looked upon or expected to provide safety on campus and are, therefore, challenged to meet the expected standard to prevent crimes on campus. The focus of this study is, therefore, grounded in investigating the perceptions of security officers on campus safety at UKZN Howard College Campus. In order to comprehensively capture their perceptions, the following objectives were examined: the types of crime that occur on campus, the challenges encountered in dealing with these crimes, intervention remedies or response to these crimes and their effectiveness. The study adopted one-on-one in-depth interviews methodological approach to generate its data. Empirical findings from the study revealed that there are a number of crimes that disrupt the proper functioning of and daily lives of the university community. These crimes include but are not limited to property theft, assaults and alcohol use. Findings also unfolded that security officers’ that attempts to prevent these crimes have often been encountered by challenges which have, in turn, adversely affected the intervention remedies ever put in place to arrest the horrible situation of crimes on campuses. Based on the research study’s findings, recommendations were made with an intention to assist on-campus protective services in improving their measures in crime prevention.

▼ The fourth industrial revolution is upon us and one of the questions that higher education institutions (HEIs) should be asking is: Is the current education system preparing us for the fourth industrial revolution? The answer could be ‘yes’ to some extent as most of the HEIs around the world have introduced electronic learning as part of their teaching and learning method. The introduction and implementation of e-learning, however, has come with a number of challenges. These challenges are hindering the successful implementation of e-learning. It is for this reason that continuous research should be conducted to find ways in which the challenges associated with e-learning can be minimised. This study’s main focus was on measuring e-learning systems to identify the gaps within the systems and to recommend how best these gaps can be minimised for institutions to gain the maximum benefits from e-learning. The study utilised an evaluation methodology model to measure the e-learning system known as MOODLE that is currently in use at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. A variable was added to the model, namely stakeholder analysis. The study of stakeholder analysis revealed that there are a number of stakeholders who have a role in ensuring that e-learning is successful. A mixed methods approach was used to answer the research questions. Management, support staff and quality assurance staff were interviewed on a one-on-one basis and students, ICS staff and academics were issued with a questionnaire they were requested to complete. The results of the qualitative study revealed a number of new issues to be taken into account, as they are essential for the successful implementation of e-learning. The quantitative method tested the validly of the results using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The results led to a rotated factor matrix where a number of factors were grouped together and others separated. This resulted in a new model being formulated to be utilised for measuring the success of e-learning systems in future. Regression analysis was undertaken and recommendations were made based on the results. One of the recommendations was that for institutions to achieve customer and organisational value, they should focus on the independent variables. Overall, e-learning systems were perceived in a positive light by all stakeholders.

▼ Today, the liveliest market environment is the mobile phone market. This this is because of the growth and the advancement in technology. Thus, studying the consumer buying decision process of these markets can show marketers what factors influence the markets’ choices of mobile phones. The growing competition by mobile phone companies has led to increased concern regarding which mobile phone device is beneficial to own as a consumer considering the vast number of mobile phone brands and versions available to the market. This concern warrants the need to investigate factors that currently determine consumers’ choices of mobile phones taking into account the saturated level of the mobile phone industry. The intention of this study is to examine if factors previously examined in the previous research studies in different contexts also influence the South African environment. Furthermore, to identify the unique set of factors that impact South African customers’ selection of and satisfaction with mobile phones. The main objective of this study is to reveal key factors that affect the choice and satisfaction of mobile phones among university students of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg campus. Through a convenience sampling technique, structured questionnaires were used to collect primary data from 257 mobile phone owners. The questionnaire comprised of 5-point Likert scale questions and open-ended questions. Descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, custom tables, and NVivo were used to analyse data that was obtained from the students. Results of the descriptive statistics showed that product features and design was a major factor influencing the choice of mobile phones. Overall performance was a major factor contributing to the satisfaction of mobile phones. Battery life was the main feature that consumers considered when acquiring a mobile phone. The exploratory factor analysis results revealed six factors that contributed to the choice of mobile phones. Namely; marketing elements, social factors, features of the mobile phone, durability and portability, brand name and cost/price. Results of six factors that contributed to the satisfaction of mobile phones included; internal, external & operation attributes of the mobile phone, style, small mobile phones, and cost/price. The results also revealed six factors that students considered when purchasing a mobile phone. These are; the size of the mobile phone, output attributes of the mobile phone, the build/make of the mobile phone, basic model, technology features and generation of the mobile phone. The custom tables revealed that the main five factors that students wish to see improved on their mobile phones include; battery power, memory size camera, phone design and audio capacity. Furthermore, the results revealed that apart from the factors revealed in the exploratory factor analysis, the following factors affect choice, satisfaction and features students seek when purchasing a mobile phone; battery life, camera, and security features.

▼ Dynamic capabilities are distinctive unique processes and activities that enable an organisation to produce an outcome. These practices are unique to each company/organisation and rooted in its history. These capabilities are captured not just in routines but in business models that go back decades and that are difficult to imitate. The study aims to examine the possible benefits to insourcing major activities and functions at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). The main objective in this study is to analysis how dynamic capacity can be built through insourcing university activities and functions to improve overall performance, achieve operational excellence and improve service level. The study further analysis how internal integration and reconfiguration of in house function would develop a lean process and improve service level at UKZN. In South African universities, there has been consistence trends of protest insourcing and outsourcing of certain functions and activities. In UKZN, no study has been done on evaluating how performing activities and functions in-house strategy can achieve dynamic capability, operational excellence and improved service level. In ensuring that the goals of this study are achieved the qualitative research approach has been used which has been implemented using the exploratory research designs. Various data collection tools and methods have been used including conducting in-depth interviews, documentary and report analysis which have provided important data used for the study. In analysing the data collected the thematic analysis technique was employed which categorised the data into different themes, categories and codes. Information for qualitative research is being gathered from operational managers of every school (19 schools), supporting services (16 managers) and facilities (5 facilities) at all the four campuses at UKZN. The total number of sample size for interview ranges to 17 respondents. The main finding highlighted the long-term success of the insourcing in UKZN can be achieved by looking at the following recommendations which is; continuous investment on training and development; transparency, benchmarking and the use of data; process improvement simplification and standardisation and analysing procurement as a strategic asset.To achieve the key objective of the study this requires the institution to investigate and implement efficient initiatives that should be embedded within wider institutional strategies for ensuring the effectiveness and quality of higher education.

▼ The use of peer educators has often been exploited to educate people and prevent the spread of HIV as well as other sexually transmitted infections. The importance of a well-grounded and sound sexuality health education cannot be over emphasised. As this does not only help to prevent sexually transmitted diseases or unwarranted pregnancy among the youth population but helps to educate the young and save them from the consequences of their ignorance. This study adopted a cross sectional quantitative approach to explore the perceptions and experiences of students towards HIV/AIDS peer education program. This survey involved the use of questionnaires to gather information or data about students’ perceptions, attitudes, and behaviours. A total of 242 university (post-graduate and undergraduate) students were enrolled. The results of this study show that the overall mean perception score towards HIV/AIDS peer educators is 62.0 ± 7.4, the minimum score is 31.0 and the maximum score is 75.0 respectively. From the obtained results, participant perception score towards HIV/AIDS peer educators can be said to be quite impressive. The results obtained in this study show that there exists a significant correlation (p<0.05) in all three categories of students’ perception to HIV peer education program. It was observed in the study that the age group 18 – 23 had the highest perception about HIV peer educators. It was also observed that the enrolled participants had a good perception about peer educators as role models, importance of peer education in information dissemination and incorporation of peer education into a university setting. Peer education involving young people has helped to educate the interested ones on issues relating to HIV/AIDS and evidence has shown that peer educators have a strong influence on their peers. Furthermore, conclusion and recommendations were drawn from this study.

▼ This study investigates African foreign students’ behavioural practices towards the University of KwaZulu-Natal HIV and AIDS support programme. The participants of the study consisted both male and female between the ages of 26- 30 students from college of humanities, college of Agricultural engineering and science and the college of Health science of the Howard College Campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. The Health Belief Model was adopted in this study to explore the factors that influence African foreign students’ behavioural practices in response to HIV prevention at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. The study is both quantitative and qualitative. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used in data collection. The study revealed that foreign students’ behavioural practices towards UKZN HIV and AIDS Support Programme is limited to HIV and AIDS testing, with very few students knowing about other activities of the programme. This implies that the programme needs to create more awareness regarding its activities and active participation of all students, especially international students who mostly feel disengaged within the school. The study also found out that the major barriers that hinder African foreign students from joining the HIV and AIDS support programme include: lack of adequate publicity about the programme, foreign students home country’s perception of HIV and AIDS and fear of hidden costs related to programme activities. When these things are taken into consideration, it will increase general awareness of UKZN African foreign students’ participation in the programme. It is indeed a fact that the way South African students see HIV and AIDS is quite different from how students from other countries view HIV and AIDS scourge. This study therefore aims to provide knowledge of the factors that influence African foreign students' behavioural practices towards HIV and AIDS support programme, so as to improve the implementation process of the program for better efficiency.

▼ The purpose of this inquiry was to examine postgraduate academic exclusions in the School of Education at a University in Kwa-Zulu Natal. This study was guided by Children’s Geographies and New Sociology of Childhood Studies as its theoretical framework. Although this theory has largely been used on research specifically related to children (Barker, J. & Weller, S. 2003), its principles have been creatively applied in this study, in a manner that provides deeper insights in understanding dynamics of academic exclusions in a higher education institution. The theoretical framework helped the study to understand location of postgraduate students in the exclusionary processes of the university (Barker & Weller, 2003). The new sociology of childhood studies (Frones, Jenks & Qvortrup, 2000) helped the study to document the creative and innovative ways through which the academically excluded postgraduate students engaged with their circumstances in order to enhance their chances of being academically included and thus complete their studies. The data generation method adopted standardized, open-ended interviews used in an inquiry process from a purposive sample of six participants (that is, three females and three males). The data generation was separated into three main themes according to which the students narrated their personal stories. The main themes that directed the inquiry were stories that postgraduate students told about their academic exclusion experiences; factors that led to their academic exclusion; and how they navigate and negotiate academic exclusion. The study adopted an interpretivist paradigm which was used to analyse the data. The findings, which emerged, provide an understanding of the intervening circumstances, which have led to the participant’s academic exclusion and the strategies employed by the participants to achieve success with their studies. The study concludes with a discussion regarding the implications and recommendations, which can be considered and perhaps applied by academic institutions to assist them in understanding the phenomenon of postgraduate academic exclusions so that these institutions can develop strategies in addressing postgraduate academic exclusions.

▼ Higher education in South Africa has undergone numerous changes over the past few decades. These changes have focused on addressing the discriminatory practices that the past apartheid laws (e.g. Bantu Education Act) have had on higher education in South Africa. As such, higher education in South Africa has been on an ongoing process of positive transformation so as to provide equal opportunities for previously disadvantaged groups of students. The increase of participation in higher education through the expansion of formal access for all learners, was one strategy that was used to contribute to the transformation of higher education. In recent years, conversations in higher education have shifted towards increasing epistemological access and success for students. This study aimed to explore success stories and accounts of students who entered the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) through access programmes. The study sought to explore how academically successful students who started their university studies through UKZN access programmes account for their academic success, what aspects of the university environment enabled and constrained these students’ academic success, and what aspects of their personal history enabled and constrained their academic success. The findings of this study revealed that there are various aspects in a student’s life that contribute to their success in university. These aspects range from academic factors, to family background, and to social and personal challenges. The findings from this study (such as sub-theme 1:1 attention and motivation, sub-theme 1:2 preparation and transitioning sub-theme 1:3 smaller classes and style of lecturing) are presented according to three thematic clusters, namely 1) The benefits of an access programme for academic success, 2) Explaining academic success by access programme students, and 3) Challenges that impacted on access programme students’ academic success. Within the three thematic clusters, eight sub-themes were identified as factors that either contributed to the participants’ academic success or were challenges that impacted on the participants’ academic success. The findings of this study highlight aspects that are worth considering when working towards optimising student success in university. For instance, it was evident in the findings that doing the access programme prepared students for transitioning into university and equipped them with the foundational skills needed for academic success. As such, the researcher highlighted the need for higher education institutions to enhance support programmes or even extend programmes (such as the access programme) to all students entering university so as to assist them with transitioning and to equip them with the skills needed for academic success. The findings also highlighted the challenges that successful non-traditional students encounter during their studies such as finances, language/communication barriers and time management amongst other challenges. The awareness of the realities that… Advisors/Committee Members: Natal%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Munro%2C%20Nicolas.%22%29&pagesize-30">Munro, Nicolas. (advisor).
