Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the challenges and prospects of good
governance in Addis Ababa University, College of Business and Economics.
Descriptive survey based on cross sectional study was used to attain the objective of
the research. Questionnaires, interview and document review techniques were
employed as data gathering instruments. The collected data were analyzed using
descriptive statistics such as percentage and table. The analysis has been carried out
based on the six core elements of good governance namely: accountability,
transparency, equity and equality, effectiveness and efficiency, rule of the law and
participation different achievements and failures were observed. Frameworks and
mechanisms for good governance implementation are somehow found ready in the
College. However, limitations are found in engaging the staff in full scale
participation, in capacitating employees, in accountability and transparency, in fairly
providing benefits for employees and in freedom of commenting higher managers.
So, based on the findings hosting panel discussions, putting suggestion boxes,
assessing employees’ job satisfaction level, facilitating capacity building workshops,
promoting employees based on their current performance and educational status and
designing a policy to struggle against corruption are some the recommended issues
for the limitations in order to run forward to achieve good governance practices in the
College.
