Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There is a continuous decline in the performance of medical insurance companies in Zimbabwe resulting in these companies failing to meet their obligations to stakeholders as seen by failure to pay wages, policy holders’ medical bills and dividends to shareholders. While research shows Hunhu/Ubuntu as a requirement for ethical practices that bring about good business and moral practices, it does not show how Hunhu/Ubuntu influences stakeholders, employee behaviour and organizational performance. Due to this glaring gap, the study was designed to investigate: the causes of unethical behaviour in the medical insurance industry, the attributes of African Humanism and how it influences people’s behaviour in medical insurance firms. A case study research design was used where both quantitative and qualitative methodologies were employed. Closed and open-ended questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were conducted. Chi-square tests were used for data analysis. Findings of the study show that Hunhu/Ubuntu moulds good behaviour and is essential for avoiding risky behaviour which curtails organizational performance.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
