University of Nairobi Journals

The Kenya Oral Literature Association (KOLA), which publishes Ngano: The Journal of Eastern African Oral Literature, is a professional association of writers, researchers and scholars in Kenyan universities and oral artists from various communities in Kenya. The basic interest of KOLA members is to advance the study of orality and oral literature as a means of community appraisal. This is achieved through research, publications, workshops and conferences, and performances. KOLA has been in existence since 1986.

The vision of the KOLA is grounded on the understanding that today’s reality has its genesis in the ancient wisdom of the people. For people to understand themselves in the rapidly modernizing environment, they have to appreciate, nurture and apply the positive stream of their culture as revealed through their oral tradition - narratives, songs, dances, proverbs, and artefacts. KOLA strives to enhance the preservation of oral literature as a response to the UNESCO objective of revitalising intangible heritage.

The organization has a membership of over one hundred researchers and scholars from the University of Nairobi, Moi University, Egerton University, Maseno University, Kenyatta University, Masinde Muliro University, Baraton University, Daystar University, Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kibabi University, Masai Mara Univerity, Mount Kenya University and the Catholic University of Eastern Africa among others. KOLA equally has over 200 members who are oral artists from various Kenyan communities, and over two hundred high school teachers spread across Kenya. It has experience in hosting international, regional and national conferences and regular workshops focusing on oral literature, culture, research and scholarship.

Project Communication and Perceived Project Performance:
The Mediating Influence of Individual Commitment
in Uganda’s Citizenship Projects

ABSTRACT
This paper examines the mediating influence of individual commitment on the relationship between project communication and perceived project performance. Many citizenship projects frequently fail to deliver on time, budget, specifications, and quality or do not deliver value to the public. This could be attributed to ineffective project communication and lack of individual commitment. Despite previous research contributions, no existing studies have investigated the mediating influence of individual commitment on this relationship. Thus, empirical research to corroborate these claims in this area remains anecdotal
and scanty. Based on a cross sectional data set from 322 citizenship project stakeholders in Uganda used to validate the theoretical model, findings reveal that individual commitment elements (affectivity, normative and continuance) significantly mediate the relationship
between project communication and perceived project performance. The results also suggest that affectivity and normative commitment have 2 Arthur Ahimbisibwe; Sudi Nangoli and Wilson Tusiime ORSEA Journal a stronger influence towards perceived project performance than
continuance commitment. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.
