Abstract

PurposeThis article discusses the consequences of unethical leadership, particularly, the leader-follower relationship in the delivery of agricultural advisory services in Tanzania. It analyses the means through which ethical leadership framework can be used to address the problem of unethical leadership in this context.Design/methodology/approachThe article uses a comparative case study design to explain the position of ethical leadership in the delivery of agricultural advisory services in two local governments: Morogoro Municipality in Eastern Tanzania, and Hai District in Northern Tanzania.FindingsThe research shows that the delivery of agricultural extension services in Tanzania is guided by formal rules, which define the roles and responsibilities of local government officials and field workers. These roles and responsibilities are driven by national-level guidelines written by the Ministry of Agriculture. The guidelines define the key responsibilities of village, Ward and District level Agricultural Extension Officers. In developing the working schedule, agricultural extension workers at the village and ward levels are guided by an annual calendar that defines the seasons of the year and the relevant knowledge required by farmers. Nevertheless, the implementation of these schedules is compromised by a lack of resources and morale of field workers who in turn, cope through charging for the services, which is considered as their prime motives.Originality/valueThe findings can be of interest to national and local government policymakers and officials dealing with the delivery of agricultural advisory services in Tanzania.
伦理领导对坦桑尼亚地方政府当局提供农业咨询服务的影响
目的本文讨论了不道德领导的后果,特别是坦桑尼亚农业咨询服务中的领导者-追随者关系。它分析了在这种情况下,道德领导力框架可以用来解决不道德领导力问题的方法。设计/方法论/方法本文采用比较案例研究设计,解释了道德领导力在坦桑尼亚东部莫罗戈罗市和坦桑尼亚北部海区两个地方政府提供农业咨询服务中的地位,其中规定了地方政府官员和现场工作人员的作用和责任。这些作用和责任由农业部制定的国家级指导方针推动。该指导方针规定了村、区和区级农业推广官员的主要职责。在制定工作时间表时,村和区一级的农业推广工作者以年度日历为指导,该日历规定了一年中的季节和农民所需的相关知识。然而,由于缺乏资源和外地工作人员的士气,这些时间表的实施受到了影响,而外地工作人员则通过收取服务费用来应付,这被认为是他们的主要动机。原创性/价值坦桑尼亚的国家和地方政府决策者以及负责提供农业咨询服务的官员可能会对这些发现感兴趣。
