| dc.description.abstract | This study examined the relationship between corporate governance and financial performance of commercial banks in Uganda, with a particular focus on the mediating role of management efficiency, using Stanbic Bank as a case study. The study was guided by three objectives: to determine the effect of corporate governance on financial performance, to examine the relationship between corporate governance and management efficiency, and to assess the influence of management efficiency on financial performance. A quantitative, correlational, and cross-sectional research design was adopted. Data was collected from 120 respondents, including branch managers, accountants, and internal auditors, using structured questionnaires. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS, employing descriptive statistics, correlation, regression, and mediation analysis. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between corporate governance and financial performance. Corporate governance was also found to significantly influence management efficiency, while management efficiency had a strong positive effect on financial performance. Mediation analysis indicated that management efficiency partially mediates the relationship between corporate governance and financial performance, implying that governance mechanisms improve performance both directly and indirectly through enhancing operational efficiency. The study concludes that effective corporate governance practices, supported by efficient management, are critical in improving the financial performance of commercial banks in Uganda. It recommends strengthening governance enforcement, improving board effectiveness, and investing in management efficiency to enhance overall bank performance. | |
