   <dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="en_US">The study will create a progressive social impact in the management of firms by &#xd;
emphasizing the significance of corporate governance practices on PSEMAS&#xd;
performance. The findings and recommendations of this study could assist the managers &#xd;
in securing prudent utilization of organizational resources by comprehending the &#xd;
variables that influence the PSEMAS' long-term performances. Regulatory authorities &#xd;
could also benefit from the research findings by identifying the important mechanism &#xd;
of corporate governance that stimulate organizational effectiveness and Namibia’s &#xd;
economic growth. Also, the study will contribute to the existing literature by examining &#xd;
the relationship between the variables under study. &#xd;
Furthermore, the thesis study aimed to have raised awareness of corporate governance &#xd;
practices at PSEMAS and their impact on the national resources. It intends to create &#xd;
awareness of the challenges PSEMAS is facing. The study makes a substantial &#xd;
contribution to tackling the long-standing issue of poor governance at the Public Service &#xd;
Employee Medical Aid Scheme, which is regarded to be a result of Namibia's inadequate &#xd;
governance. Finally, this study has scholarly significance because it adds to the corpus &#xd;
of knowledge on corporate governance.&#xd;
8&#xd;
The research could contribute to the knowledge and thorough understanding of corporate &#xd;
governance in the public sector. The study sheds light on and broadens the development &#xd;
and limitations that PSEMAS faces in promoting good corporate governance</dim:field>
