This is a study of the organization of a higher education institution. This institution is named « Institut Supérieur de Commerce de Beni (ISC/Beni) ». This research is undertaken thanks to the « socio – economic » management approach. The research question identifies the lack of performance factors of the ISC/Beni, at the organic, academic, administrative and financial levels. At the end of the investigation, it is noted a rapprochement of reality to this approach. Several contradictions are noted in the functioning of the institution. The actual functioning is partially different from the expected functioning, enshrined in the texts of the Ministry of Higher and University Education. The diagnosis can be a valuable guide to help improve dysfunctional subsystems.
Using principal components analysis, this research examines main factors in members of parliament’s election by intellectuals in Butembo, North-Kivu town, in Democratic Republic of the Congo. Results show that rational choice theory best explains intellectual voter’s behavior in Butembo. Their choice was mainly determined by the intellectual capacity of the candidate to represent people at 73.9%, by development realizations at 52.2 %, and by his professional and political experience (42.6%). Among the 14 reasons considered in the study, the total explained variance prove that the three cited factors explain by themselves 40.8% of Butembo intellectuals’ vote motivations. Furthermore, this study has shown that the intellectuals can give the right diagnostic of voters in Butembo. This paper has been improved with the participation of Professor Muhindo Masivi Osée.
