Towards Enhanced Labour Relations: Theorizing Psychological Contracts to Formal Work Designs Kibet, Eric; Marwa, Moses Psychological contracts have experienced a resurgence of interest from researchers focusing on the ever-changing nature of employer-employee relationships in organizations. Whereas research on the construct has been robust, there has been little effort in abstracting psychological contracts to formal work designs. This article attempts to build from various multi-disciplinary streams of scholarly argument to advance debate on psychological contracts and formal job designs, the intention being ultimately progressing of a new work design model that ties psychological contracts to formal work designs.

Influence of Adaptive Leadership’s Behavior of Self-Leadership on Organizational Performance of Insurance Companies in Kenya Kibet, Eric; Nyambegera, Stephen; Wamburu, Agnes The specific objective of the study was to examine the extent to which adaptive leadership behavior of self-leadership influences organizational performance. The study was guided by the Adaptive Leadership theory. It adopted the positivism philosophy and the descriptive research design. The study population consisted of 311 senior and middle-level managers from 56 licensed insurance companies in Kenya. A Census survey was adopted for this study that used primary data which was collected using a structured questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis. Descriptive statistics included the mean and standard deviation, while inferential statistics included the Chi-square test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis with results presented in tables and figures. The study found a positive and significant correlation between self-leadership and organizational performance. The study found that self-leadership significantly predicted organizational performance, β = 0.657, t (239) = 9.322, p <.001 hence, the study rejected the null hypothesis. The study concluded that self-leadership has a significant influence on organizational performance. The study, therefore, recommends that leaders should demonstrate selfleadership in order to enhance organizational performance.

Editorial Introduction to Special Focus: The Rule of Law in Sub-Saharan Africa: Reflections on Promises, Progress, Pitfalls and Prospects Kibet, Eric; Fombad, Charles Serious efforts to entrench the rule of law in Africa came with the so-called third wave of democratisation in the 1990s. This democratic revival raised hopes of a new era of governance guided by the basic principles of constitutionalism, democracy, good governance, respect for human rights and respect for the rule of law. Promising signs of some progress have been overtaken by a steady decline, particularly in the last two decades.

Transformative Constitutionalism and the Adjudication of Constitutional Rights in Africa Kibet, Eric; Fombad, Charles Transformative constitutionalism, popularised in the context of South Africa's transition from apartheid to constitutional democracy, arguably offers an antidote for failed constitutionalism and weak protection of fundamental rights and freedoms in emergent democracies in Africa. This article examines the idea of transformative constitutionalism and its implications for the adjudication of fundamental rights and freedoms. It recognises that past failures of constitutionalism in Africa, to a significant degree entailed state abuses of fundamental rights and the corresponding inability of the courts to uphold these rights. Using examples of adjudication of rights in the post-2010 period in Kenya and post-apartheid era in South Africa, the article argues that, taken as a model for constitutionalism in Africa, transformative constitutionalism offers hope for increased protection of fundamental rights and freedoms. The article analyses the demands of transformative constitutionalism on the judicial adjudication of rights, and concludes that the concept demands more from judges than has traditionally been understood in the two legal systems
