ABSTRACT:
This study delves into the dynamics of commitment, change efficacy, and their correlation with the implementation of Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation (RBME) at Compassion International, Uganda. Employing a cross-sectional survey design with a sample size of 69 participants, the research aimed to elucidate the relationships between commitment, change efficacy, and the successful execution of RBME initiatives. The major research instruments include questionnaires and interview guide. The findings reveal positive and statistically significant associations between commitment and RBME implementation (r= .329**, p = .000) and between change efficacy and RBME implementation (r = .268**, p = .000). The study underscores the pivotal role of commitment in effective RBME implementation, aligning with theoretical perspectives emphasizing commitment's significance in organizational change. Similarly, the research highlights the practical importance of change efficacy, urging organizations to prioritize strategies that bolster employees' confidence and competence in implementing monitoring and evaluation systems. To enhance RBME practices, recommendations include fostering transparent communication, active leadership engagement, employee involvement in decision-making, and providing training opportunities. Establishing clear expectations, securing leadership support, instituting feedback mechanisms, and creating a collaborative decision-making environment emerge as crucial strategies.
