Management Participation and Firm Performance

Abstract

This study sought to establish the relationship between management participation and firm performance. The study was premised in the applauded significant role that management participation plays on firm performance. However, a glaring knowledge gap established from literature review indicate a paucity of empirical support to the extent of the relationship with both the financial and none financial performance. Firms in Export Processing Zones (EPZs) in Kenya were studied. Significant relationship was established only with internal business process performance. Theoretically, the study showed that management participation is a much more complex variable moderated by other factors. Therefore, managers ought to focus on moderating factors like culture and diversity to understand the relationship between management participation and performance.

A number of studies focus on financial performance while other studies focus on non financial performance (Namada et al, 2014). According to Pandya and Rao (1998), management researchers have a preference for accounting variables as performance measures such as return on equity (ROE), return on investment (ROI), and return on assets (ROA).…”

“…On the other hand, it was found that setting of goals and targets facilitate evaluation of firm performance (Arasa and K'Obonyo, 2012). Finally, in recent performance research, there has been a move from exclusive use of financial performance measures to insertion of non financial performance measures and this approach is considered practically valuable and in line with the multidimensionality of performance constructs (Namada et al, 2014).…”
