<p>County governments in Kenya have been in operation since 2013, but the performance of most of them is still an issue for debate despite the reforms that have been put in place. Consequently, for the achievement of exceptional performance in the current dynamic and uncertain socio-economic environment, a blend of buoyant leadership capabilities and potent management styles is required. Transformational leadership has been touted as a possible remedy to such scenarios. The study sought to determine how intellectual stimulation affects strategy implementation. The study was anchored on the power and influence theory of leadership. A pilot study was conducted in Trans Nzoia County. The study was a census targeting 268 respondents and was anchored on a positivism paradigm and utilized a descriptive-correlational research design. A purposive sampling design was adopted and data was collected using questionnaires and an interview guide. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics descriptive analysis by the aid of SPSS version 23. Results were presented in form of tables and models. The findings revealed that intellectual stimulation significantly accounts for a 30.1% variation in strategy implementation. Further, intellectual stimulation (β=0.448, P=0.000) has a significant statistical effect on strategy implementation. The study concluded that intellectual stimulation has a significant effect on strategy implementation. The study recommends that county management need to develop the competence of their staff at their place of work, appreciate each staff as an individual rather than as a group, and ensure fair workload distribution. These will encourage staff to perform their jobs effectively and put extra effort into their work hence strategy implementation.</p><p><strong>JEL: </strong>G18; H11</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0464/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
This study investigated about the influence of human resource capacity on public health service delivery in the Western Kenyan Region. The study employed the descriptive correlational research design. A closed ended questionnaire was used as a source of data from 264 staff and 69 patients from selected health facilities. Data was processed through regression analysis to establish the relationship between the independent and the dependent variables. The study concludes that enhancing the human resources capacity through collaborative decision making and training leads to improved public health service delivery. The study, therefore, recommends that the Ministry of Health in the County Governments should enhance the human resources capacity through collaborative decision making in that opinions of workers are taken into consideration in daily operations. Furthermore, different forms of training like in-service training, mentorship, coaching, workshops and seminars should be considered so as to effectively enhance the public health service delivery.
Manufacturing companies have a direct impact on national governments and value addition at large. Manufacturing, like other sectors, has felt the effects of a variety of stakeholder engagement factors. Although many companies engage their stakeholders in day-to-day business activities, studies have reported a challenge for them in managing diverse operations in dispersed markets. An examination of the effect of stakeholder participation in planning on the performance of Kenyan alcohol manufacturing firms, namely East African Breweries Limited, Kenya Wine Agencies Limited, and Keroche, was undertaken. The study concentrated on the performance of these firms for five years (2017–2021). Guided by stakeholder theory, the study adopted the descriptive cross-sectional research design. The target population was 608 stakeholders (senior management, middle management, and lower management) working in various employment cadres. The stratified random sampling design was used to sample 241 respondents from various departments. Data was collected through questionnaires and analysed descriptively and inferentially. Descriptive statistics involved means, standard deviations, frequencies, and percentages, while inferential statistics involved Pearson correlation and simple regression analysis. The Shapiro-Wilk test of normality was conducted, and since the p-values were above 0.05, the data was normal. The study found that stakeholder participation had a significant effect on organizational performance in selected alcohol manufacturing entities (t = -6.958, p<0.05). The study therefore rejected the null hypothesis formulated. The study recommends frequent engagement of stakeholders at work by firm management to enhance performance.
