Abstract

This research looked at “Corporate governance as a strategy for business viability in Parastatal organizations in Harare�?, the literature on good governance, cooperate governance and culture as well as factors that influence and affect proper governance implementation. The descriptive research survey was used to target employees and management. A sample size of 20 respondents comprising of 10 employees and 10 from management was used. The researcher used simple random sampling method in selecting the respondents. Questionnaires were used as key research instrument. The study found out that issues of good governance are not properly followed within the organization. Whilst there is a board to oversee the operations of the organization, it was not being fully utilized as they are not sometimes involved in decision making and policy making. The issue of Parastatal organization governance remains an issue of concern considering their contribution to national development. There is therefore need to document, analyze and promote good practice in relation to Parastatal organizations’ governance and accountability as this remains a grey area due to difficulties that the sector has in utilizing and implementing conventional corporate governance principles.

公司治理作为哈拉雷半国有组织的商业生存策略
这项研究着眼于“公司治理作为哈拉雷半国有组织的商业生存战略”。、关于善治、合作治理和文化的文献,以及影响和影响适当治理实施的因素。描述性研究调查是用来针对员工和管理。样本规模为20人,包括10名员工和10名管理人员。研究者在选择调查对象时采用了简单的随机抽样方法。问卷调查是主要的研究工具。研究发现,良好治理的问题在组织中没有得到适当的遵循。虽然有一个委员会来监督该组织的运作,但它没有得到充分利用,因为它们有时不参与决策和政策制定。考虑到半国有组织对国家发展的贡献,它们的管理问题仍然是一个令人关切的问题。因此,有必要记录、分析和促进与半国有组织的治理和问责制有关的良好做法,因为这仍然是一个灰色地带,因为该部门在利用和执行传统的公司治理原则方面存在困难。
