Abstract

Abstract This study investigates the impact of Strategic Management Practices (SMPs) on Good Governance in Tanzania, surveying 351 government employees to gather insights. The study employed a range of quantitative methods, including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and significance testing, the research reveals a significant correlation between SMP adoption and improved accountability, transparency, and citizen participation in Local Government Authorities (LGAs). The findings highlight the critical role of SMPs, particularly resource allocation and strategic planning, in enhancing governance, and identify key factors influencing SMP adoption, including resources, management, and institutional context. However, the study also notes mixed responses regarding SMPs' role in promoting accountability and decision-making, underscoring the need for a comprehensive new management approach. The research emphasizes the importance of informed strategies and actions to adopt SMPs, ultimately leading to improved governance practices and better outcomes for citizens.
