Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) play a significant role in fostering a nation's economic development by providing services that prioritize the overall welfare and support other institutions and enterprises. Their operations differ considerably from those of private-sector businesses. However, challenges such as communication skill deficiencies, inadequate management, delayed decision-making, and political interference have impeded the functioning and integrity of these PSUs. To address these issues, a qualitative analysis of various PSUs suggests the implementation of regular audits and meetings as a means to improve communication skills among employees. Furthermore, recognizing that PSUs are government-controlled entities, minimizing political interference is crucial. Additionally, comparing the internal issues of the top four PSUs in the country has revealed that limited funds have hindered their recruitment processes and research programs, as well as their ability to establish international relations. To maintain the integrity of these PSUs, it is recommended to open doors to young and dedicated individuals who are keen to contribute to the respective organizations, based on their specific requirements. By doing so, PSUs can continue to make significant contributions to the country's economic development while adapting to their unique operational environment.
