The origins of innovation is the ability to identify global trends and to assess their relevance for development. The first area of mapping could include a better understanding of these trends in higher education and innovation around the world. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of mission and vision on organizational performance in private universities in Kenya. The specific research question is how do mission and vision affect organization performance in private universities in Kenya? This was a correlational study which adopted a positivist philosophy. The study population comprised of all the 17 private universities in Kenya accredited by Commission of University Education.

This is a conceptual paper which reviewed teacher management in Kenya with a particular focus on the emerging issues. Organizations in all sectors are striving to succeed despite the many challenges they face including issues of globalization, rapid changes, especially changes in technology, leadership dynamics and increased competition among others. Organizations' perspective today in the third world are striving to maximize on their major resources to develop and grow their entities by use of teachers acting as their strategic managers in provision of quality of education and teacher management. It reviewed what TSC Act as enacted under the 2010 Kenyan Constitution and its subsequent transformation to an independent commission with an enhanced mandate stipulates. It has delved in the synopsis of emerging issues such as teacher shortage, provision of quality education, professionalizing the teaching service, promotion of teachers, teachers conduct and performance, litigation, information, communication and technology integration, management of HIV and AIDS, industrial unrest, and deployment of effective teachers leadership positions. In summary more budgetary allocation is required to address teacher deficits, employ more counsellors, enforce TSC Act provision and involve all the stakeholders to make the profession more attractive and enhance retention of well trained, qualified and experienced teachers. Transformational leadership model is a key component in managing teachers' affairs.
This paper reports findings of a recent conceptual literature review of teacher performance management systems as implemented by the Teacher Service Commission in Kenya. It was undertaken by reviewing several TSC circulars, documents used in teacher management, HR literature and the TSC Act. It reflects the perspectives of the authors and TSC management in relation to HRM good practices and theories. Its main purpose was to apprise processes from earlier procedures, to ascertain current levels of use and satisfaction, and to determine whether performance management has become a more effective strategic tool in the human resource management repertoire. The conclusions suggest, that the use of, and satisfaction with performance management systems remain challenging, although there are some indications that the increasing integration of the current perspectives of HRM appears to encourage more strategic links between individual, group, and organizational outcomes to improve TSC teacher management systems.
With the recent declaration of Sustainable Development Goals to 2030 at the United Nations, all nations are focused on ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promote life-long learning opportunities for all. In this respect, a well-structured and holistic curriculum is an important first entry point in guiding learning processes embedded in a strong culture. The purpose of the study was to examine how sustaining culturе аffеct orgаnizаtional pеrformancе in private univеrsitiеs in Kеnyа. This was a correlational study which adopted a positivist philosophy. The study population comprised of all the 17 private universities in Kenya accredited by Commission of University Education. Thе unit of аnаlysis wаs thе board of directors, vicе chаncеllors, hеаds of dеpаrtmеnts (finаncе, sports, humаn rеsourcе, rеsеаrch, quаlity аssurаncе) аnd аcаdеmic dеаns (businеss school) which wаs 136. А cеnsus tеchniquе wаs usеd in the study with frequency distributions, percentages аnd mеаns for dеscriptivе stаtisticаl аnаlysis whilе corrеlаtions аnd rеgrеssion аnаlyses wеrе usеd for infеrеntiаl statistics. Thе study found thаt, orgаnizаtionаl culturе еxplаinеd а significаnt proportion of vаriаncе in orgаnizаtionаl pеrformаncе, R 2 = .461. Orgаnizаtionаl culturе significаntly prеdictеd orgаnizаtionаl pеrformаncе, β = .679, t(120) = 10.090, p = .000. This finding impliеd rеjеction of thе null hypothеsis sincе thе p vаluе wаs lеss thаn <.05 sеt by thе study.
