The Dynamics of Inspiring Research Culture Development in Public Universities of Uganda in The Great Lakes Region of East Africa
Keywords:
Knowledge, research culture, organization culture, theory of change, higher educationAbstract
Uganda as a nation has been a growing concern about research culture development in public universities in Uganda and the paradox known dynamics of behavior and practices during the process of research. The article on research culture development is crucial for the success of Ugandan public universities, which primarily focus on teaching research and community development. The study, guided by organization culture theory, identifies factors essential for building a research culture, such as research training, mentoring, funding, and a research functional framework. These factors guide universities in making informed decisions and actions toward successful research culture development. The research culture observed in Uganda serves as a springboard for producing quality research work, anchored on the university's mission and vision, and some traits of hierarchy culture provide cohesion within the higher education institutions in Uganda.
