- Description: Organisational effectiveness: synthetically determined. In this article the development of a questionnaire for measuring organisational effectiveness (defined in organisational culture terms) is being discussed. The sample used for the item analysis consisted of 112 middle managers in the mining industry. The factor structure of the questionnaire was determined by using the responses of 230 middle managers. The original 72 items were reduced by 11 due to low item-total correlations. Four main constructs were measured by the questionnaire. The following preliminary names were given to these constructs: Internal communication, External communication, Organisational structure and productivity.

- Description: Abstract: Cost pressures at universities, brought on by declining levels of subsidies in real terms, above inflation wage increases, as well as a volatile rand-dollar exchange rate, have resulted in a renewed quest for efficiency gains. While various cost containment measures have been pursued by universities, employee productivity has not received the same level of attention. Despite a number of studies having investigated the effects of an organisational structure and management style on employee productivity, a gap in literature exists in the context of South African universities. This holds especially true for the administrative, non-academic, part of universities. This study was qualitative in nature, taking the form of a case study, utilising semi-structured face-to-face interviews and direct observation. Twenty-five interviews were conducted at a Student Enrolment Centre at an urban university in Gauteng. Data was analysed by means of content analysis. Results indicated that the prevailing centralised structure and autocratic management style is perceived to negatively affect employee productivity, due to a lack of communication and low motivational levels. The findings assist universities and industry to improve employee productivity by making changes to structure and managerial style.
