Cooperative governance and social performance of cooperative societies

Artikel

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between cooperative governance and non-financial performance of cooperative societies in Uganda. The study used cross-sectional design and data were collected from 293 cooperative societies in Uganda. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used to develop measurement model and test statistical modeling. The findings revealed a significant and positive relationship between monitoring rights and social performance. Besides, there was also a significant and positive relationship between innovation and social performance. However, the relationship between ratification of management decisions and social performance, and policy compliance and social performance was not statistically significant. Overall, cooperative governance was a good predictor of social performance. The paper contributes to the literature by identifying predictors of social performance in cooperative societies from a developing country perspective.
