Influence of Goal Setting and Sustainable Firm Performance of Commercial Banks in Eldoret, Kenya 1. Introduction The financial statement of the company provides an overview of the sustainability of company performance. A successful business should improve value disclosure control (Herly & Sisnuhadi, 2011). Sustainable company performance may reflect domestic or external production. External expansion is the leading cause of corporate growth (Selvam et al., 2014). The employee's future growth prospects can emerge because of factors outside of managerial decision-making, and this can be demonstrated by the size of the business (Shan & McIver, 2011). More studies have shown that workforce growth is the major contributor to a policy of loyalty to employees that affects organizational quality (Abu & Som, 2013). Employees want to work for companies and positions that make them feel highly valued and are keen to improve and progress continuously, so both employees and workers appreciate sustainable firm performance. According to a report by Towers Watson (2014) organisations, however, some companies fail to deliver, and some do not know whether the programs work due to the lack of employee commitment policy. The study shows that organizations are working. The government of Kenya commits to develop its employees and encourage them to train and upgrade their knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies for performance improvement, effective service delivery and sustainable firm performance. It encourages public servants to undertake firm performance management programs and requires all servants to be eligible for training for at least five days of training in a year and be promoted after 3 years (HRM policies, 2016). This is extended to all commercial banks in Kenya. According to the Banking Amendment act of Kenya (2009) commercial banks are financial institutions that accept deposits from customers and give loans and provide other services such as mobile banking, internet banking, and Automated Teller Machine services among others to the public. There are officially 43 approved commercial banks and a mortgage lending agency, according to the Central Bank of Kenya (2016). Of the 43 banks, 40 belonged to a private sector, while the government for Kenya held a majority of three institutions. Of the 40 private banks, 25 were owned locally and 15 were owned by foreigners. Banks are using performance evaluation for the growth of their organisation, the productivity of their workers, the rise in compensation and allocation of bonuses, the tool used by banks for evaluating their success is clear goals, the comparable chart scale methodology (CBK, 2016).

“…Constraints in the entrance to the labor market can obstruct both upward and horizontal skilled circulation. The configuration by class of access of the migrant employees across EU destination economies [30] relevantly indicates the dissimilarities in internal migration scheme regimes. Admission to and results within the labor market fluctuate considerably by immigration category.…”

Considerable research attention has focused on the labor market impacts of immigration, the operation and competitiveness of the European Union (EU) labor market, and the expenditures and advantages of labor circulation for sending and receiving economies. The aim of the present study is to examine and evaluate the negative social consequences arising from the mobility of workers, the social and economic drivers of migration, and the effect of immigration on natives' labor market results such as wages and employment.

“…For FDI inflows in the primary area, both economic freedoms and trade openness [30] are economically significant factors. Investors in the manufacturing area examine GDP magnitude, trade openness and institutions [31] while investing into the CEE countries. Pro-growth and pro-trade schemes would improve FDI inflows into the CEE economies, who should formulate their own national FDI policies by investigating their own strengths and weaknesses in various areas of their economies.…”

This paper discusses the major trends in scholarship about the role of FDI and exports on economic growth, the effect of tax policies on FDI, the formation of the economic catch up of the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region and the determinants of FDI inflows in CEE nations. I am specifically interested in how previous research investigated the influence of FDI on host country economic growth, the inward FDI stock as a percentage of GDP, the features and restrictions of fiscal schemes in CEE economies and the institutional soundness displayed in policies towards FDI. The analysis presented in this paper contributes to research on FDI as a mechanism in the transition to the market, the dissimilarities in the FDI-assisted development methods among the CEE nations, the impact of FDI inflows for productivity convergence in CEE and the current slowing of growth in emerging Europe.
