- Abstract
-
The study examined how effective corporate governance might improve service delivery in state enterprises and parastatals, focusing on Bindura Provincial Hospital. The study examined the hospital's corporate governance system, the level of awareness of the principles among executive management, senior management, middle management, and general staff, strategies for promoting good governance in Zimbabwe, and a comparison of the hospital's governance system to others. Data were collected via questionnaires and structured
interviews. The organization's lack of board member rotation and other issues contribute to a lack of openness and accountability. This resulted in compromised service delivery. The study found that the majority of state-owned enterprises and parastatals do not adhere to ethical norms. According to the study, strong governance is linked to better service delivery. Therefore, organizations should try to address their governance issues on a regular basis. Hospital stakeholders should actively monitor and ensure effective corporate governance. Internal audits and audit committees should be strictly independent. - Date
