The purpose of this article is to examine the interaction effect of rewards management on the association between records creation and staff performance among staff of private universities in Uganda. The article adopts a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical design. The authors employ hierarchical regression modeling to test hypotheses. Using proportionate and simple random sampling procedures, a sample size of 123 respondents was drawn from Ugandan private universities of which a response rate of 84.6 percent was obtained. The magnitude effect of records creation on staff performance depends on rewards management; implying that the assumption of non-additivity is met. The authors used a single research methodology. Researchers in the future could use interviews to triangulate. In order to boost performance of staff in private universities in Uganda, managers should always endeavor to find a viable records creation-rewards management mix that can add value to the organization. This is one of the few studies that focus on testing the moderator effects of rewards management on the records creation-staff performance association in private universities’ setting.

Norman David, Nsereko
Climate change is a reality on the face of the globe as existing natural systems are being destroyed left and right. The realities of the catastrophic nature of climate change are manifested in the apparent extreme events such as extreme heat and winds, incessant forest fires, droughts, devastating floods, unpredictable weather patterns, famine, livelihood insecurity and a number of species of plants and animals have gone extinct. All over the world, both highly and less sophisticated observers of the world’s current biodiversity are appealing to humanity to effectively safeguard globally significant ecosystem services and ensure ecological resilience related to the current state of affairs in order to protect nature from being destroyed. Understanding of the facts that underplay the occurrences of climate change may not be on a similar footing worldwide. Hence, this poem is developed to resonate the ontological construction of reality in basically collectivistic cultures as a contribution to conceptualize the apparent extreme events, habitat degradation and to address attempts to fix the warming earth by these particular inhabitants on the globe.

Norman David, Nsereko
Psychosocial problems among university students occur in a wide variety of settings.
Research has shown that these problems often negatively impact on students’ mental health often
leading to maladaptive, negative or unhealthy coping mechanisms compromising student
academic performance. The resultant mental health problems include emotional,
conduct/behavioural, educational, social/interpersonal problems as are often prevalent among
adolescents and the youth. Most existing instruments to assess psychosocial problems among
university students in the Ugandan setting were developed in foreign American or European
settings and not culturally conclusive enough to address the contextual problems of university
students in Uganda. Moreover, psychosocial problems as a construct have been rarely
researched as multi-dimensional issues
