    The Relationship between Transformational Leadership, Public Service Motivation, Affective Commitment and Organizational Performance in Public Service Employees Transport Service Enterprise (PSETSE)
    (A.A.U, 2021-10) Molla, Tesfaye; Temesgen, Berhanu (Dr.)
    This study examines the relationship between transformational leadership, affective organizational commitment, public service motivation, and perceived organizational performance. A structural equation modeling was used to examine the perceptions of 112 public employees in Ethiopian Public Service Employees Transport Service Enterprise. The result indicates that transformational leadership has a positive, significant but medium relationship with perceived organization performance, affective organizational commitment, and public service motivation. It is also found that transformational leadership has a positive effect on AOC, PSM and POP. However, the level of influence slightly differs. It is revealed that 29.6%, 41.6% and 23.5% of change on civil servant’s perceived organizational performance, affective organizational commitment, and public service motivation respectively is explained by the variation in the transformational leadership at the Enterprise. It is found that affective organizational commitment has significant contribution in the improvement of organization performance at Enterprise. The result also indicated that public service motivation has a significantly positive relation with and impacts on both perceived organizational performance and affective organizational commitment. In all these cases, however, the relationships and effects are found to be moderate except transformation leadership with public service motivation. Affective organizational commitment and public service motivation have mediating effect on perceived organizational performance albeit the indirect effect is weak. It is also found that none of the control variables (gender, age, marital status, educational background and work experience) has any significant effect on affective organizational commitment, public service motivation, and perceived organizational performance. It is possible to conclude that transformational leadership does play an important role in determining the levels of perceived organizational performance, both directly and indirectly, but only at medium level. Thus, in order to elevate its effects to a higher level, sustained and long-term management development programs should be designed to promote the existing status of transformation leadership at Enterprise; and the level of centralization, formalization and routinization should also be reduced.

    This study seeks to critically assess the practices of EHRC vis-à-vis the protection mandate of the ERHC on child rights issues in Ethiopia. The paper examines the laws and practices so that to identify and highlight the major areas of work, function and challenges of the EHRC in terms of delivering its mandate on protection of child rights. The main objective of the study is to explore the specific mandates of the EHRC in matters of child right violation and the challenges and prospects EHRC faces in delivering its protection mandate on child right issues. This study has a specific objective by explicitly focusing on exploring the works of the women and children commission of the EHRC thereby assessing its protection mandate to rights of children in Ethiopia, review the process of undertaking investigative missions and other procedural matters in delivering their protection mandate of child rights violation. The research applied an analysis and review of literatures as a background tool and utilized to gather data from secondary sources. This method was supplemented with in-depth interviews to collect primary data on the practice. In analyzing the works of the EHRC on issues related to child rights protection, the study looked into the legal and procedural frameworks as well as the institutional set up and practices in delivering its mandate. The study found that, despite its relatively broad mandate and efforts to achieve its objective, EHRC faced numerous challenges in terms of its institutional set-up, practical mandate and administrative processes. This includes working on child rights issues as a cross cutting issue not a stand-alone right. This has also impacted in the investigative missions, finding and reporting of rights violations produced by the EHRC. In addition, after the reform of the EHRC in 2018, there were substantial changes in the set-up of the institution, however, more works needs to be done in aligning the different working of the commission in a manner that is child friendly and put at heart the best interest of the child.
