The study focused on The Effects of Pension Mobility on Civil Servants in Tanzania,
the case of Morogoro Municipality. Specific objectives of the study included: To
find out the obstacles faced in pension mobility for civil servants in Tanzania; to
determine factors contributing for the pension funds failure to operate to the best
level to its employees; and to suggest credible measures to solve the problem in
relation to civil servants pension mobility. The sample of the study was constituted
by 52 respondents drawn from the population of 305. The methods of data collection
that were used include: questionnaires, interview, observation and documentary
review. The data collected were both primary and secondary. The data were
analysed using both qualitative and quantitative methods of data analysis. The
analysis process entailed introduction, organization, and interpretation.
The findings unveiled three major factors hindering pension mobility for civil
servants in Tanzania, namely institutional framework failure, lack of seminars, and
poor planning system of the government. However, it was found out that the most
affected group were the cadre of teachers, Hospital Doctors, and the mere police
group. The study concluded that there were conflicts of interests, including selfinterest
threats, ethical issues faced by officials and employees in public
administration practice, no equal balance of gender in holding top administration
posts and that whosoever changed the job suffered capital loss to their benefits.
The study recommended that there should be a Municipality seminar(s) initiative in
the public servants. Collaboratively designing and delivering of workshops,
conferences and formal training, financial management should be strengthened to
make it more transparent, the civil service systems should stablish open, fair and
merit based principles and practices to minimize favoritism, abuse and waste of
public resources. |
