Analyzing the effectiveness of the loss control Function in Rural District Council: Case study of Murewa Rural District Council.
- Abstract
- This research explores the effectiveness of the loss control function in rural district councils with the case study of Murewa Rural District Council. The research was conducted through a qualitative approach, including interviews with the Council`s Chief Executive Officer, the Loss Control Staff, and other staff members. It has become a major issue due to the failure of local governments to fulfill their responsibility of producing income and sufficient cash flows while offering quality services. Ineffective loss control emerges as one of the major causes of failure to achieve such mandates. A sample population of 55 and a sample composition of 36 are used. Data collection procedures such as interviews and questionnaires are employed. The collected data was reviewed and shown using tables, a pie chart, and a graph in Microsoft Excel. The research revealed that the council has a well-defined loss control policy and procedures and that the Loss Control Staff is responsible for ensuring compliance with these policies. However, the research also revealed that the council lacks adequate resources to properly implement the loss control function and that there is a lack of communication between the loss control staff and other staff members. The research concluded that the council needs to strengthen its loss control function by providing adequate resources, other loss control systems, and improving communication between loss control staff and other staff members. The research recommended that the organizations implement the use of security cameras (CCTV), practice job rotation, encourage hotline tips, and implement many loss control systems to improve the effectiveness of loss control function.
