The Income Generation Performance of MOSCAT Business Affairs Unit

The study focused on the income generation performance of MOSCAT Business Affairs Unit. It specifically aimed to study the income generation of the unit’s on-farm and off-farm enterprises. The descriptive research design was used. The study showed that the administrators were perceived as to great extent performers in terms of their leadership capabilities. The respondents moderately agreed that they were committed to their present jobs and perceived that to a great extent the human, financial and physical resources were available for the unit’s use. As to average annual income, the enterprises that were producing and offering more than one product, and have produced in bulk were expected to earn greater annual income. Almost all of the off-farm enterprises earn a positive return on investment from 2005 to 2009, while on-farm enterprises had both negative and positive ROI. The system factors identified had nothing to do with the ability of the unit to earn profit, which means that there are other factors that influenced profitability. The administrators considered Leadership as the best predictor of profitability, while the staff identified organizational commitment as its significant predictors.
