The aim of this study was to examine the implementation of dressing code at Morogoro Municipal Council. Specific objectives were: to identify if there is clear interpretation on acceptable dresses at MMC; to determine acceptable dresses awareness among employees at MMC; to examine the supervision provided by the employer on Dressing Code implementation at MMC. The study was guided by modest and immodest theories which are relevant to the study.
This study employed case study research design, the sample of the study consisted of 80 respondents who were sampled using convenience and purposive sampling techniques. Data collection methods were observation, interview, questionnaires and documentary reviews. Analysis was done systematically and was used to answer the research questions.
The findings of the study indicated that most of employees at Morogoro Municipal Council lack clear interpretation of what constitutes acceptable dresses. Consequently, most of employees wear unacceptable dresses which violate revised dress code of 2007 despite the levels of awareness they have and supervision provided by employers on issues of dressing code implementation. Some of challenges mentioned were: young generation were reluctant to abide by dress code; and fashion and style created in the globalised word hinder full implementation of dress code among public employees.
The study proposed that the duty of dress code implementation is for all people from family level to the national level. One of the effective ways solve the problem is to educate people or to raise public awareness. Moreover, the government needs to formulate laws that could be strong enough to deal with the situation of dress code implementation. The government also has to be closer and collaborate with employers and employees so as to facilitate effective dress code implementation because some employees are reluctant to change. Therefore, by doing so Tanzania and Morogoro Municipal Council will be able to implement effectively the dressing code at workplaces. |
