INFLUENCE OF TEAM COMPETENCY ON SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF LAND TENURE SECURITY PROJECT IN RWANDA
Abstract
Over the past decades a team competency has greatly influenced successful implementation of the projects not only in Rwanda but globally. Specifically, the study sought to determine the influence of team competency on successful implementation of land tenure security project in Rwanda. The study adopted both descriptive and quantitative research designs. The target population of this study were be 80 staff from the involved in Rwanda Land Management and use authority from the 15 sectors of Gasabo District and those ones in the headquarter. Stratified random sampling method brought out the aspect of accuracy and reliability to this study, because, each and every individual participated to this study. The study used both primary and secondary data collection methods. The researcher administered the questionnaire to each respondent. Quantitative data was collected and analyzed using SPSS and presented through percentage, mean, frequencies. Pearson correlation was used to assess if the relationship between the independent variables, and dependent variable which is successful implementation of land tenure security project in Rwanda, was significant or not. The study found out that the beta coefficients of team competency had a coefficient of 0.162 which is greater than zero. The t statics was 1.815 which has a p-value of 0.000 which is less than 0.05. This implied that the coefficient of team competency was significant at 0.05 level of significance. This showed that team competency has a significant positive effect on successful implementation of land tenure security project in Rwanda. The study concluded that, team competency positively influences successful implementation of land tenure security project specifically in Gasabo district in Rwanda. Thus, the study concluded that performance of project team was likely to be influenced by having conflict resolution mechanisms, defined roles, and effective leadership that would lead to successful implementation of land tenure security project. Majority of the respondents argued that lack of secure tenure jeopardizes possibilities for sustainable land use. The illegal nature of the tenure impedes optimum use of the land, as residents avoid making any valuable investment for fear of it being destroyed by the legal owner of the land.
