Abstract: eHealth systems have been created in most developing countries to facilitate the functioning of healthcare operations and as such various healthcare applications are existing as fragmented silo systems. Such autonomous standalone systems do not communicate through a network thereby making it a challenge to share healthcare data. Therefore, to re-engineer health information systems (HISs) to develop interoperable adaptive enterprise architecture (EA) systems for healthcare, the study aimed to discover and capture healthcare interoperability functional imperatives through understanding the expectations of healthcare practitioners and patients on post-development of an interoperable HIS. Therefore, the study's aim was to determine the HISs interoperability perceived functional expectations by both patients and practitioners in fulfilling their healthcare receipt and provision needs in an integrated healthcare environment, respectively. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) was used as the main study framework to guide the classification of the expectations from the HIS by patients and practitioners deriving the needs from the four domains which are, business architecture (BA), application architecture (AA), data architecture (DA), and technical architecture. The study used interviews and questionnaire surveys to collect qualitative and quantitative data respectively. The study used purposive sampling to select interview participants. A total of 19 interviews were conducted with healthcare practitioners. Questionnaires were collected from 71 healthcare practitioners and 143 patients and analyzed quantitatively respectively to understand the most significant needs anticipated in an interoperable HIS. The research targeted age groups of at least 20 years and above. The study discovered that patients and practitioners expect the interoperable healthcare environment to support the acquisition of disease knowledge through healthcare surveillance synergies; create healthcare awareness through coordinated digital interactions; augmentation of healthcare intelligence for patient-care through the healthcare knowledgebase; allow treatment collaboration by various healthcare practitioners in the healthcare ecosystem and mostly achieving a guaranteed healthcare system security and assurance environment.2023-07-11T00:00:00ZMunyaradzi ZhouProsper Tafadzwa DenhereEphias RuhodeOrganisational citizenship behaviour’s antecedents as predictors of job satisfaction: empirical evidence from banks in emerging economiesGabriel MaibvisiraEmmanuel MutambaraCynthia Mashiahttps://cris.library.msu.ac.zw//handle/11408/53362022-12-21T12:27:32Z2022-08-26T00:00:00ZTitle: Organisational citizenship behaviour’s antecedents as predictors of job satisfaction: empirical evidence from banks in emerging economies
Authors: Gabriel Maibvisira; Emmanuel Mutambara; Cynthia Mashia
Abstract: It was imperative to determine the impact of antecedents of organisational citizenship behaviour of altruism and conscientiousness on job satisfaction in the banking sector since this strategic sector has been experiencing employee job dissatisfaction-related challenges as evidenced by high staff turnover. The reviewed literature focused on the effect of Organ’s (1998) organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) dimensions of altruism and conscientiousness and employee job satisfaction. The article adopted a positivist philosophy and the explanatory research design since it sought to establish cause and effect relationships between the two constructs. The target population was 150 and a sample of 109 participants was used. A simple random sampling technique was used to select study participants. A Likert scale questionnaire was employed to collect data electronically due to the COVID-19 pandemic movement restrictions. The study findings were that both altruism and conscientiousness have a positive and significant impact on job satisfaction in the banking sector. Thus, it was recommended that the banking sector should create workplace environments that foster OCB to enhance employee job satisfaction. This study was critical since banks are a strategic sector (Bonga, Chirenje, & Mugayi, 2019), particularly in emerging economies as providers of start-up and working capital to both public and private organisations.2022-08-26T00:00:00ZGabriel MaibvisiraEmmanuel MutambaraCynthia MashiaA strategy to enhance e‑safety among first‑year students at Zimbabwean universities: an action researchTsokota, TheoMhloza, VurayaiChipfumbu‑Kangara, Colletor Tendeukaihttps://cris.library.msu.ac.zw//handle/11408/49872022-07-21T09:07:43Z2022-02-19T00:00:00ZTitle: A strategy to enhance e‑safety among first‑year students at Zimbabwean universities: an action research
Authors: Tsokota, Theo; Mhloza, Vurayai; Chipfumbu‑Kangara, Colletor Tendeukai
Abstract: The widespread use of ICT offers considerable opportunities to society. However, there is
ample evidence that students are exposed to various e-Safety challenges and risks through
the use of ICT. Most Zimbabwean students who are not adequately prepared for e-Safety
are now entering universities and are thus exposed to the risks posed by ICT. Therefore,
this action research developed a strategy to enhance e-Safety among first-year students in
Zimbabwean universities. The overarching research strategy was action research, which
used qualitative research methods to collect information on e-Safety, usage and risks
students face, and how these risks can be mitigated. Data was collected using an online
questionnaire, interviews, observation and netnography. The results showed that the under-
standing of e-safety issues is still in its infancy. Therefore, an e-safety strategy was formu-
lated to clearly indicate what to report, to whom and how concerning safety. This strategy
was based on the overall reflection of the research, which recommended that education
plays a central role in e-safety, as perpetrators or victims may not be aware of the chal-
lenges of e-safety. Thus, this research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by
providing a clear strategy for dealing with e-safety challenges in Zimbabwean universities.
Furthermore, this research is important in understanding the future of ICT use in develop-
ing countries like Zimbabwe.2022-02-19T00:00:00ZTsokota, TheoMhloza, VurayaiChipfumbu‑Kangara, Colletor TendeukaiAn e-safety framework for secondary schools in ZimbabweMoyo, AbelTsokota, TheoRuvinga, CarolineChipfumbu Kangara, Colletor T.https://cris.library.msu.ac.zw//handle/11408/47702022-06-27T13:49:06Z2021-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: An e-safety framework for secondary schools in Zimbabwe

Abstract: Use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) offers extraordinary opportunities for society, particularly in the education sector. Many schools in Zimbabwe are now allowing the use of ICTs devices by learners in order to access the Internet and share educational material. However, there is considerable evidence that through use of ICTs, learners will be exposed to different ICTs risks. Learners using ICTs may face Internet and social media related risks which may expose them to inappropriate content, communicating and meeting strangers, cyberbullying, ICTs addiction and cyber-harassment. Sadly, most parents, teachers and learners do not have knowledge and expertise to mitigate these ICTs risks. As such, this research aims to develop an Electronic Safety (E-Safety) framework for Secondary Schools in Zimbabwe that teaches and safeguards learners from ICTs related risks. Researchers used a qualitative research method to gather information on the use of ICTs, risks faced by learners and how these risks can be mitigated. A case study of two secondary schools in Zvishavane District (Zimbabwe) was used. Data was collected using face-to-face interviews and questionnaires from learners. Data from teachers, parents and officials from Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, Child Protection Services and Ministry of Information Communication and Technology, Postal and Courier Services was collected using face to face interviews. Collected data was analysed using thematic analysis. A framework was then designed by researchers based on the results from the thematic analysis and reviewed by two experts.2021-01-01T00:00:00ZMoyo, AbelTsokota, TheoRuvinga, CarolineChipfumbu Kangara, Colletor T.
