The rise of digital financial services (DFS) offers significant potential to enhance sustainable saving behaviors, particularly within financial cooperatives, which are instrumental in advancing financial inclusion. This study explores the impact of DFS on sustainable saving decisions among cooperative members in Kenya. Employing a cross-sectional survey of 334 members and analyzing the data using ordered probit regression, the study examines how DFS influences sustainable saving behavior, specifically in terms of deposits and share investments.
The growing number of private universities in Kenya continues to increase opportunities for higher education, in tandem with elevating competition, as each institution strives to attract quality employees for competitive services. Thus, retention of experienced academic administrators is increasingly becoming a key challenge in many universities, with implications on leadership stability and performance. Some universities are responding to this challenge through Succession Management (SM) and stakeholder engagement programmes, hoping to improve Human Resource (HR) outcomes.
