Organizations in the modern society are faced with numerous challenges that require those in charge with governance to make effective decisions that enhance organizations’ overall performance and sustainability. One of the key decisions an organization’s board ought to make involve capital structure. Despite various research that have been conducted relating to board characteristics and capital structure, several authors concurs that the manner in which banks select the best capital structure, and the factors that influence their corporate financing behavior are not well understood. The main aim of this study therefore was to investigate board characteristics and capital structure decisions of commercial banks in Kenya. The study measured board characteristics with respect to board size, board diversity, board independence and board expertise while the capital structure decisions was gauged with capital structure ratio, that is, total debt ratio. These dimensions also formed the specific objectives of the study. The study assessed various literatures covering both theoretical and empirical that elaborates on the study variables providing more insight as well as identified gaps that needed to be filled. The study employed correlation design as it strived to demonstrate the causative connection between study variables. All selected commercial banks formed the target population with chief finance officers and internal auditors being the target respondents in these banks. The primary source of information was both primary and secondary data of this study whereby primary data collection instrument was the questionnaire whose reliability and validity was ensured before collecting data. Collected data was properly assessed and checked before conducting final analysis. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis, which was aided by statistical package for social science and the outputs were presented in form of graphs, pie charts, frequency tables and narrations. The findings of the study showed a strong positive correlation between all the study measures as shown by R value of 0.824. From inferential analysis findings, the study concludes that on the overall all the board of directors’ characteristics studied had a significant influence on capital structure decisions of commercial banks in Kenya. The regression coefficients p-values were 0.000, 0.000, 0.002 and 0.001 consecutively which were all less than 0.05 indicating a significant relationship between board characteristics dimensions studied and capital structure decisions; therefore, all the null hypotheses were rejected. The study also established that capital structure of commercial banks in Kenya over a period of 5 years between 2013 and 2017 averaged at 0.841 which was less than 1.00, indicating that these banks finance their assets using equity as opposed to debts. As a result, the study concluded that board characteristics have a significant impact on capital structure decisi
现代社会的组织面临着许多挑战,这些挑战要求那些负责治理的人做出有效的决策,以提高组织的整体绩效和可持续性。公司董事会应该做出的关键决策之一涉及资本结构。尽管已经进行了各种关于董事会特征和资本结构的研究,但一些作者一致认为,银行选择最佳资本结构的方式以及影响其公司融资行为的因素尚未得到很好的理解。因此,本研究的主要目的是调查肯尼亚商业银行的董事会特征和资本结构决策。该研究从董事会规模、董事会多样性、董事会独立性和董事会专业知识等方面衡量董事会特征,而以资本结构比率(即总负债率)衡量资本结构决策。这些方面也构成了本研究的具体目标。该研究评估了涵盖理论和实证的各种文献,详细阐述了研究变量,提供了更多的见解,并确定了需要填补的空白。本研究采用相关设计,试图证明研究变量之间的因果关系。所有选定的商业银行组成了目标人群,首席财务官和内部审计师是这些银行的目标受访者。信息的主要来源是本研究的一手数据和二手数据,主要的数据收集工具是问卷,在收集数据之前,问卷的信度和效度都得到了保证。在进行最终分析之前,对收集到的数据进行了适当的评估和检查。数据分析采用描述性和推理分析,并辅以社会科学统计软件包,输出以图形、饼图、频率表和叙述的形式呈现。本研究的结果显示,各研究指标之间存在较强的正相关,R值为0.824。从推论分析结果来看,研究得出结论:总体而言,所研究的所有董事会特征对肯尼亚商业银行的资本结构决策都有显著影响。回归系数p值依次为0.000、0.000、0.002和0.001,均小于0.05,表明所研究的董事会特征维度与资本结构决策之间存在显著关系;因此,所有的零假设都被拒绝。该研究还确定,2013年至2017年5年间,肯尼亚商业银行的资本结构平均为0.841,低于1.00,表明这些银行使用股权而不是债务为其资产融资。因此,研究得出结论,董事会特征对肯尼亚商业银行的资本结构决策有显著影响。此外,肯尼亚的商业银行认为财务灵活性比避税优势更重要,这意味着他们厌恶债务,并倾向于在外部资金方面遵循颠倒的等级顺序。因此,研究建议银行董事会和管理层应合理管理债务和股权水平,以提高绩效;银行应该选择合适的董事会规模,专业知识和多样性的适当组合,他们将能够监督管理层,但不会干涉或侵犯资本结构的决定;银行还应提高董事会的独立性,以便从这些董事会成员的技能和外派人员中获益;最后,挑选具有不同技能和资格的银行董事会成员,以便银行能够从教育背景和能力的异质性中获益。

Financial leverage and financial performance are fundamental issues in corporate finance. In Kenya, some companies listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange have had performance improvement. However, most of them have experienced declining fortunes which has been attributed to the fact that corporate managers another practitioner lack adequate guidance required to attain optimal financing decisions. Financial leverage comprises of loans and other forms of debts where the proceeds from these loans are reinvested to earn higher return than the cost of loans. Financial use is the company's capacity to utilization of settled money related charges to amplify the impacts of changes in the profit before premium and duty on the company's income per share. The extent of obligation to value is a vital decision for corporate supervisors. The poor performance of Energy and Petroleum sector companies is of great concern. Financial leverage ranges from debt ratio, debt/equity ratio and interest coverage ratio which are vital since they directly affect the financial performance of firms. The general objective as to determine the effect of financial leverage on the financial performance of energy and petroleum sector companies listed in the NSE. While the specific objectives were; to establish the effect of debt ratio, debt -equity ratio and interest coverage ratio on financial performance of energy and petroleum sector companies recorded in the NSE. The research was anchored on the following theories: Modigliani-Miller theorem, Pecking Order Theory and Trade-off Theory. The empirical literature review was based on the three objectives of the study and gaps established. The study adopted a descriptive research design. Management of all the 5 energy and petroleum companies listed with the NSE was involved in the study which mainly used secondary data to conclude. Data was analyzed using regression analysis. Analyzed data was presented using tables. Confidence interval of 95% was used by the researcher. The study adopted a multiple regression model (Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3 +ε). The findings indicate that the independent variables Debt ratio, Debt to Equity ratio and interest cover ratio affected the financial performance of the firms in the Energy and petroleum sector. Their effect was up to 75.4%. Debt ratio and Debt to Equity ratio had a positive relationship whereas Interest cover ratio had a negative relationship to the firms in the Energy and petroleum sector listed in the NSE. This study recommends that the firms handle their capital structure decisions prudently as the changes in the factors like Debt ratio, Debt to Equity ratio and Interest cover ratio enhance profitability of firms when prudently employed and hence affect the performance of Energy and petroleum firms listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange. This study also recommends that firms control the amount of interest expense since an increase in interest expense has an effect in that it redu
财务杠杆和财务绩效是企业财务中的基本问题。在肯尼亚,一些在内罗毕证券交易所上市的公司业绩有所改善。然而,他们中的大多数人都经历了财富的下降,这是由于公司经理(另一个从业者)缺乏获得最佳融资决策所需的充分指导。财务杠杆包括贷款和其他形式的债务,这些贷款的收益被再投资以获得比贷款成本更高的回报。财务用途是公司利用已结算的货币相关费用来放大溢价和税前利润变化对公司每股收益的影响的能力。价值义务程度是公司监事的重要决策。能源和石油行业公司的糟糕表现令人非常担忧。财务杠杆包括负债率,债务/权益比率和利息覆盖率,这些都是至关重要的,因为它们直接影响公司的财务绩效。总体目标是确定财务杠杆对在NSE上市的能源和石油部门公司财务绩效的影响。具体目标是;建立债务比率,债务权益比率和利息覆盖率对NSE记录的能源和石油部门公司财务业绩的影响。本研究主要基于以下理论:Modigliani-Miller定理、Pecking Order理论和trade - trade理论。实证文献综述是基于研究的三个目标和建立的差距。本研究采用描述性研究设计。该研究涉及在印度国家石油交易所上市的所有5家能源和石油公司的管理层,主要使用二手数据得出结论。数据采用回归分析。分析后的数据以表格形式呈现。研究者使用95%的置信区间。研究采用多元回归模型(Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3 +ε)。研究结果表明,自变量负债率、债务权益比和利息覆盖率对能源和石油行业企业的财务绩效有影响。其效果高达75.4%。负债率和债务股本比率呈正相关,而利息覆盖率与在NSE上市的能源和石油部门的公司呈正相关。本研究建议企业审慎处理其资本结构决策,因为债务比率、债务权益比率和利息覆盖率等因素的变化在审慎雇用时提高了企业的盈利能力,从而影响了在内罗毕证券交易所上市的能源和石油公司的业绩。本研究还建议公司控制利息费用的数额,因为利息费用的增加会降低在NSE上市的能源和石油部门公司的财务业绩。

Dividend decisions are the approaches undertaken by the management of an organization to facilitate proper allocation of the cash flows from the business activities. They provide reasonable guidelines for the organization's actions based on the satisfaction of the investors' interests and organizational objectives. They strive to achieve the goals while they seek substantial profitability of the organization. The majority of the studies involving dividend decisions focused on determining the necessity for dividend policies in an organization. Others focused on assessing the Influence of the dividend policies on the stock return of the firm. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of dividend decisions on market performance of share prices for commercial banks listed at Nairobi Stock Exchange. The specific objective is; To determine the impact of dividend payouts on the stock performance of the commercial banks listed at Nairobi Stock Exchange The independent variables in the study is dividend payouts. The dependent variable was the performance of share prices for commercial banks listed at Nairobi Stock Exchange. The theoretical review included the bird in hand theory, information signaling theory, and tax differential theory. The research used a descriptive research design approach for 12 commercial banks' target population in Kenya. The study used secondary sources to collect data, which are the bank's annual data published on the Nairobi Stock Exchange website. The research used the SPSS software for analyzing the collected data. The results show that the constant dividend pay-out ratio and residual dividend policy are the major determinants of market performance of share prices. Discretional dividend policy does not significantly influence market performance of share prices of commercial banks. The study recommends the commercial banks to constantly make proper dividend decisions to ensure good market performance of the share prices.
股利决策是由一个组织的管理层采取的方法,以促进从商业活动中产生的现金流的适当分配。它们在满足投资者利益和组织目标的基础上,为组织的行动提供合理的指导方针。他们努力实现目标,同时寻求组织的实质性盈利能力。大多数涉及股利决策的研究集中在确定组织中股利政策的必要性。另一些则侧重于评估股息政策对公司股票回报的影响。因此,本研究考察了股利决策对在内罗毕证券交易所上市的商业银行的股价表现的影响。具体目标是;为了确定股利支付对在内罗毕证券交易所上市的商业银行股票绩效的影响,本研究的自变量为股利支付。因变量是在内罗毕证券交易所上市的商业银行的股价表现。理论综述包括手中的鸟理论、信息信号理论和税收差异理论。本研究对肯尼亚12家商业银行的目标人群采用了描述性研究设计方法。该研究使用二手资源收集数据,这些数据是该银行在内罗毕证券交易所网站上发布的年度数据。本研究使用SPSS软件对收集到的数据进行分析。研究结果表明,恒定派息率和剩余股利政策是股票市场表现的主要决定因素。任意股利政策对商业银行股价的市场表现影响不显著。研究建议商业银行不断做出适当的股息决策,以确保股价的良好市场表现。

Financing Options and Growth Rate of Real Estate Development Companies in Kenya 肯尼亚房地产开发公司的融资选择和增长率
Pub Date : 2021-10-26 DOI: 10.35942/ijcfa.v3i2.201

Financing decisions have been a challenge to real estate developers in Kenya. This is because, real estate investments are perceived to be capital intensive in nature. It is expected that real estate sector should develop in line with population increases which characterises most emerging economies. However, the provision of housing units per year is below the demand. In Nairobi region the demand for housing is 200,000 units per year while the actual production is estimated to be 50,000 units annually thus outlining a shortage of 150,000 units. Past studies indicate that where a robust financial market prevails, investors are able to access funds for investment projects. This current study seeks to establish the effect of financing option on real estate growth in Kenya.  The specific objectives were; to determine the effect of mortgage financing on growth rate of real estate development companies in Kenya, to find out the effect of retained earnings on growth rate of real estate development companies in Kenya, to establish the effect of private equity on growth rate of real estate development companies in Kenya, to determine the effect of joint venture on growth rate of real estate development companies in Kenya and  assess the moderating effect of firm size on relationship between financing options and growth rate of real estate development companies in Kenya. This study was be anchored by the following theories namely: lien theory of mortgages, pecking order theory, transaction costs theory, resource dependency theory and housing cycle theory. The target population of this study comprised of all the seventy-two companies who are members of the Kenya Property Developers Association (KPDA). The sample size comprised of twenty three companies which was thirty percent of the sample frame. The sample size was selected using simple random sampling design. This study used descriptive research design with a regression model with the regressor being real estate growth rate which was expressed in growth rates of housing units for each firm. Therefore, this study followed panel data analysis as individual firm data was collected for a time span of five years 2014 to 2018. Results showed that mortgage financing positively but insignificantly affected growth rates of real estate development companies in Kenya. Further results showed that retained earnings as source of financing option impaired significantly growth rates of real estate development companies. Private equity was found to improve growth rates of real estate development companies significantly.  Joint venture too positively but insignificantly influenced growth rates of real estate development companies in Kenya. Lastly, firm size was found to be a non-moderator but rather an explanatory variable and impaired growth rates in a significant manner. This study recommended that real estate development companies should increase use of private equity in financing housing projects as this increases gro
融资决策一直是肯尼亚房地产开发商面临的一个挑战。这是因为房地产投资在本质上被认为是资本密集型的。预计房地产行业的发展应与大多数新兴经济体的特征——人口增长保持一致。然而,每年提供的住房数量低于需求。在内罗毕区域,住房需求为每年20万套,而实际生产估计为每年5万套,因此短缺15万套。过去的研究表明,在金融市场活跃的地方,投资者能够获得投资项目的资金。本研究旨在确定融资选择对肯尼亚房地产增长的影响。具体目标是;确定抵押融资对肯尼亚房地产开发公司增长率的影响,找出留存收益对肯尼亚房地产开发公司增长率的影响,建立私募股权对肯尼亚房地产开发公司增长率的影响。确定合资企业对肯尼亚房地产开发公司增长率的影响,并评估企业规模对肯尼亚房地产开发公司融资选择与增长率关系的调节作用。本研究以抵押留置权理论、优先顺序理论、交易成本理论、资源依赖理论和住房周期理论为基础。本研究的目标人群包括所有72家公司谁是肯尼亚房地产开发商协会(KPDA)的成员。样本由23家公司组成,占样本框架的30%。样本量选择采用简单随机抽样设计。本研究采用描述性研究设计和回归模型,回归量为房地产增长率,以每家公司的住房单位增长率表示。因此,本研究遵循面板数据分析,因为单个公司的数据是在2014年至2018年的五年时间内收集的。结果表明,抵押贷款融资对肯尼亚房地产开发公司的增长率有积极但不显著的影响。进一步的研究结果表明,留存收益作为融资选择的来源显著损害了房地产开发公司的增长率。研究发现,私募股权对房地产开发公司的增长率有显著提高。合资企业对肯尼亚房地产开发企业增长率的影响为正但不显著。最后,企业规模被发现是非调节因素,而是一个解释变量,并在很大程度上损害了增长率。本研究建议房地产开发公司应增加私募股权在住房项目融资中的使用,因为这提高了实体的增长率。

Macroeconomic Effects of Initial Public Offer and Performance Equity Prices of Firms Listed in Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya 肯尼亚内罗毕证券交易所上市公司首次公开招股与业绩股价的宏观经济效应
Pub Date : 2021-10-21 DOI: 10.35942/ijcfa.v3i2.197

Market reacts differently to various factors ranging from economic political, and socio-cultural. The stock prices of quoted companies in Kenya are affected either positivity or negatively by a number of factors occurring within or without the economic system. Initial public offering is often issued by smaller, younger companies seeking the capital to expand, but can also be done by large privately owned companies looking to become publicly traded. The initial public offering is a vital step for young entrepreneurial firms, providing them access to the public equity market for the first time. Previous literature had focused primarily on initial public offering under-pricing phenomenon to measure the performance of companies. However, researchers argued that initial public offering pricing, which was a key factor in under-pricing had remained relatively unexplored in literature. The study employed descriptive research design. The study targeted a total population of 7 quoted companies in Nairobi security market, which had issued IPO from 2006-2020. The study depended on secondary data collected from the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Data was analysed by the use of SPSS. From the panel regression analysis, the interclass correlation (rho) was 0.310 implying that 31% of the variations in equity share prices are due to differences among the quoted firms. The within and between R-square was 0.0154 and 0.9967 respectively. The overall R2 was 0.9885, indicating that the variables considered in the model account for about 98.85% percent change in the dependent variables, while the remaining percent change may be as a result of other variables not addressed by this model. Dividend per share improved significantly after the IPO. Dividend per share was also established to improved significantly after the IPO. The study concludes that dividend per share, market capitalization and market liquidity improved in the post going public period. This is due to the proceeds received by companies from the sale of their shares to the public. In addition, the study concludes that firms benefit by going public despite potentially higher agency problems, at least for the first few years after the IPO. Becoming publicly traded provides financial capital to firms that helps them commercialize their products.
市场对经济、政治和社会文化等各种因素的反应不同。肯尼亚上市公司的股票价格受到经济系统内部或外部发生的一些因素的积极或消极影响。首次公开发行(ipo)通常是由规模较小、较年轻、寻求扩张资金的公司发行的,但也可以由希望上市的大型私营公司发行。首次公开发行(ipo)对年轻的创业公司来说是至关重要的一步,为它们提供了首次进入公开股票市场的途径。以往文献主要关注首次公开发行(ipo)定价过低现象来衡量公司业绩。然而,研究人员认为,首次公开发行定价是定价过低的关键因素,在文献中仍然相对未被探索。本研究采用描述性研究设计。该研究以2006-2020年期间在内罗毕证券市场发行IPO的7家上市公司为对象。这项研究依赖于从内罗毕证券交易所收集的二手数据。数据采用SPSS统计软件进行分析。从面板回归分析中,类间相关性(rho)为0.310,这意味着31%的股票价格变化是由于上市公司之间的差异。r方内和r方间分别为0.0154和0.9967。总体R2为0.9885,说明模型中考虑的变量约占因变量变化的98.85%,而剩余的百分比变化可能是模型未考虑的其他变量的结果。IPO后每股股息显著提高。首次公开募股后,每股股息也得到了显著改善。研究结果表明,上市后每股股息、市值和市场流动性均有所改善。这是由于公司从向公众出售股票中获得的收益。此外,研究得出的结论是,尽管可能存在更高的代理问题,但上市对公司有利,至少在IPO后的头几年是这样。上市为公司提供了金融资本,帮助他们将产品商业化。

The stock prices of quoted companies in Kenya are affected either positivity or negatively by a number of factors occurring within or without the economic system. Initial public offering is often issued by smaller, younger companies seeking the capital to expand, but can also be done by large privately owned companies looking to become publicly traded. The initial public offering is a vital step for young entrepreneurial firms, providing them access to the public equity market for the first time. Previous literature had focused primarily on initial public offering under-pricing phenomenon to measure the performance of companies. However, researchers argued that initial public offering pricing, which was a key factor in under-pricing had remained relatively unexplored in literature. The study employed descriptive research design. The study targeted a total population of 7 quoted companies in Nairobi security market, which had issued IPO from 2006-2020. The study depended on secondary data collected from the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Data was analysed by the use of SPSS. From the panel regression analysis, the interclass correlation (rho) was 0.310 implying that 31% of the variations in equity share prices are due to differences among the quoted firms.

Financial wellbeing is very important in both a personal and organizational level. Medical doctors are among the well-remunerated workers in Kenya. However, according to Kenya Medical Association 2017 financial information, it indicates that 70% of medical doctors employed under public hospitals in Nairobi City County Kenya are struggling financially. This study sought to determine the impact of financial knowledge on financial wellbeing of medical doctors employed in public hospitals Nairobi County, to determine the effect of demographic factors on financial wellbeing of medical doctors working in public hospitals Nairobi City County, to establish the effect of financial disposition and budgeting habits on financial wellbeing of medical doctors employed in public hospitals Nairobi County, to find out the effect of financial saving behavior on financial wellbeing of medical doctors employed in public hospitals Nairobi County and to define the moderating effect of economic condition on the association between personal financial management and financial wellbeing of medical doctors employed in public hospitals Nairobi County, Kenya. This study was anchored on Keynesian absolute income hypothesis, Prospect theory, Lifecycle savings theory, Permanent income hypothesis, Relative income hypothesis, and Savings and investment hypothesis. This study used descriptive research design and data was collected from a target population of 259 doctors employed by the Nairobi City County government. The Yamane formula was used to obtain the sample size. Primary information  assembly was done utilizing a semi-structured survey provided to the specialists through dropping and picking later strategy. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the gathered information; mean, mode, middle, standard deviation, tables, figures, rates, and frequencies. The relationship between the variables was established by the use of inferential statistics. The knowledge of financial products (b=.354, t = 5.429, P<0.05), financial disposition and budgetary habits (b=.117, t = 2.397, P=.018), and financial saving behavior (b=.110, t = 5.316, P<0.05) had a positive statistically significant association with financial well-being of doctors. A unit increase in personal financial management increased financial wellness by 0.104 (b= .104, t=5.089, P<0.01) and was not moderated by the economic condition of doctors statistically significantly, P=.811. This study concluded that personal financial management was a predictor for financial wellbeing of doctors employed in public hospitals Nairobi City County. Overall, as personal financial management increased, the financial wellbeing increased. The recommendation was that training programs on financial products and diversification of investments are needed for medical doctors at the County level, as a large proportion of medical doctors did not own financial products nor attended training on personal financial management.
财务健康对个人和组织都非常重要。医生是肯尼亚收入较高的工人之一。然而,根据肯尼亚医学协会2017年的财务信息,它表明肯尼亚内罗毕市县公立医院雇用的医生中有70%处于财务困境。本研究旨在确定财务知识对在内罗毕县公立医院工作的医生财务状况的影响,确定人口因素对在内罗毕市县公立医院工作的医生财务状况的影响,确定财务配置和预算习惯对在内罗毕县公立医院工作的医生财务状况的影响。探讨理财储蓄行为对肯尼亚内罗毕县公立医院医生理财幸福感的影响,并探讨经济条件对肯尼亚内罗毕县公立医院医生个人理财与理财幸福感之间关系的调节作用。本研究以凯恩斯的绝对收入假说、前景理论、生命周期储蓄理论、永久收入假说、相对收入假说、储蓄与投资假说为基础。本研究采用描述性研究设计,数据收集自内罗毕市县政府雇用的259名医生的目标人群。采用Yamane公式计算样本量。主要信息的收集是利用提供给专家的半结构化调查,通过放弃和选择以后的策略。采用描述性统计对收集到的信息进行分析;平均值、众数、中间值、标准差、表格、图表、比率和频率。变量之间的关系是利用推理统计建立起来的。金融产品知识(b=。354, t = 5.429, P<0.05),财务配置和预算习惯(b=。117, t = 2.397, P= 0.018),财务储蓄行为(b= 0.018)。110, t = 5.316, P<0.05)与医生财务幸福感有显著正相关。个人理财水平每提高一个单位,财务健康水平提高0.104 (b= 0.104, t=5.089, P<0.01),且不受医生经济状况的影响,P= 0.811。本研究的结论是,个人财务管理是在内罗毕市县公立医院雇用的医生财务健康的一个预测指标。总体而言,随着个人财务管理的增加,财务状况也随之改善。建议是,需要为县一级的医生提供关于金融产品和投资多样化的培训方案,因为很大一部分医生没有金融产品,也没有参加过个人理财培训。

Modern firms have realised the need to take advantage of the opportunities in the emerging markets the concept of centralisation and co sharing of service providers gave rise to Shared Services (SS) and Shared Services Centres (SSC). However, little has been done in sub-Saharan Africa. This study sought to address this gap. For this reason, this study seeks to by determine the effects of shared service centres and financial performance of pan African equipment group in Kenya. The study specifically determined the effects of procurement shared services, finance shared services, inventory management shared services and ICT shared services on financial performance of Pan African equipment group in Kenya. The study was anchored on three theories namely: Transaction Cost Economics Theory, Resource Based View Theory as well as Agency Theory. The study adopted descriptive research design on 137 top-level management staff from the four sectors (mining & mineral processing, civil and infrastructure, power and energy and agriculture & forestry) of operating Pan African equipment group in Kenya. For selecting a sample of 86 participants, stratified random sampling method was used. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect primary data. The tool of studies was tested. The study used both face and content validity to assess the validity of the research tool while testing the accuracy of the research tool using the alpha (α) coefficient of Cronbach. The research considered a coefficient of 0.6 or more to be sufficient. Research information, including mean results, normal deviation and frequencies, was analysed using descriptive statistics. Analysis of conceptual material was also used for primary data analysis. Regression analysis was also used to analyse the effects finance shared services, inventory management shared services and ICT shared services on financial performance of Pan African equipment group in Kenya. Finally, the research considered ethical considerations where the permission to carry the study was obtained from the company and respective government bodies. The study concluded that Pan African Group significantly embraced procurement, finance, inventory management and ICT shared services. The study concluded that the firm by sharing procurement services it centralized and enhanced efficiency of purchases, pricing, supplier evaluation and quality control which contributed to peak performance. It was further concluded that to a significant extent finance shared services influenced financial performance of the firm. It was concluded that sharing of inventory management services at the firm enhanced effective and efficient inventory planning, costing, quantity and quality management and material optimization hence improving financial performance. It was concluded that database management, automation of processes, information security and network and facilities management services affected financial performance of the firm. It was recommen
现代公司已经意识到需要利用新兴市场的机会,服务提供商的集中化和共同共享的概念产生了共享服务(SS)和共享服务中心(SSC)。然而,在撒哈拉以南的非洲,几乎没有什么进展。这项研究试图解决这一差距。出于这个原因,本研究试图通过确定肯尼亚泛非设备集团共享服务中心和财务业绩的影响。本研究具体确定了采购共享服务、财务共享服务、库存管理共享服务和信息通信技术共享服务对肯尼亚泛非设备集团财务绩效的影响。本研究以交易成本经济学理论、资源基础观理论和代理理论为基础。本研究采用描述性研究设计,对肯尼亚泛非装备运营集团四个部门(采矿与选矿、民用与基础设施、电力与能源、农业与林业)的137名高层管理人员进行研究。选取86名参与者,采用分层随机抽样方法。采用半结构化问卷收集原始数据。对研究工具进行了测试。本研究采用面孔效度和内容效度来评估研究工具的效度,同时采用Cronbach的α (α)系数来检验研究工具的准确性。该研究认为0.6或更高的系数就足够了。研究信息,包括平均结果、正态偏差和频率,使用描述性统计进行分析。对概念材料的分析也用于原始数据分析。采用回归分析分析了财务共享服务、库存管理共享服务和信息通信技术共享服务对肯尼亚泛非设备集团财务绩效的影响。最后,研究考虑了伦理方面的考虑,从公司和各自的政府机构获得了进行研究的许可。研究得出的结论是,泛非集团大量采用采购、财务、库存管理和信息通信技术共享服务。该研究的结论是,公司通过共享采购服务,集中和提高了采购、定价、供应商评价和质量控制的效率,从而促进了最高绩效。进一步得出结论,金融共享服务在很大程度上影响了公司的财务绩效。结论是,在公司内共享库存管理服务加强了有效和高效率的库存规划、成本计算、数量和质量管理以及材料优化,从而改善了财务业绩。结论是,数据库管理、流程自动化、信息安全以及网络和设施管理服务影响公司的财务业绩。会议建议加强共用服务中心,以提高提供服务和客户服务的效率和效益。

Effect of Financial Technology Loans on Financial Inclusion Among the Unbanked Low-Income Earners in Makueni County 金融技术贷款对马库尼县无银行账户低收入者普惠金融的影响
Pub Date : 2021-09-13 DOI: 10.35942/ijcfa.v3i2.183

Financial inclusion is crucial in fostering individual prosperity, poverty eradication and stimulating economic growth. It is therefore a major policy concern for majority of governments across the world. Despite the rampant growth of financial technology in Kenya, the number of adults who are financially excluded is still high among the rural area residents. Lack of financial services access in rural areas has resulted to rural economic growth retardation and inequality. Further, financial exclusion has led to increased poverty levels because those excluded have been forced to depend on their limited savings to pursue their entrepreneurial interests. Small businesses have had no choice but to rely on their inadequate earnings to pursue viable business opportunities. The main objective of this study was to establish the effect of financial technology loans on financial inclusion among the unbanked low-income earners in Makueni County. Descriptive research design was used, with the target population being the unbanked low-income earners over the age of 18 in Makueni County. A sample size of 384 respondents was chosen using the convenience sampling technique. Personal interviews were conducted using an interview guide to collect primary data. The study found that fintech loans have a positive and significant effect on financial inclusion among the unbanked low-income earners in Makueni County. According to the findings of the study, since the unbanked people in Makueni County associate the use of financial technology loans to meeting personal financial needs and especially coping up with day-to-day expenses and emergencies, this study recommends that such people embrace the use of the fintech loans more as it will aid them in improving their financial lives to a greater extent. This is because for instance, by using the fintech loans, they can create employment for themselves and generate sufficient income by financing micro businesses using this credit.
普惠金融对于促进个人繁荣、消除贫困和刺激经济增长至关重要。因此,这是世界上大多数政府关注的主要政策问题。尽管金融技术在肯尼亚迅猛发展,但在农村地区居民中,被金融排斥的成年人数量仍然很高。农村金融服务渠道的缺乏导致了农村经济增长的滞后和不平等。此外,金融排斥导致贫困水平上升,因为被排斥者被迫依靠其有限的储蓄来追求其企业利益。小企业别无选择,只能依靠他们不足的收入来寻求可行的商业机会。本研究的主要目的是确定金融技术贷款对Makueni县无银行账户低收入者的金融包容性的影响。采用描述性研究设计,目标人群为Makueni县18岁以上无银行账户的低收入者。采用方便抽样法,选取384名受访者作为样本。使用访谈指南进行个人访谈以收集原始数据。研究发现,金融科技贷款对Makueni县无银行账户低收入者的普惠金融具有显著的正向影响。根据研究结果,由于Makueni县无银行账户的人将金融科技贷款的使用与满足个人财务需求联系起来,特别是应对日常开支和紧急情况,因此本研究建议这些人更多地接受金融科技贷款的使用,因为这将帮助他们在更大程度上改善他们的财务生活。这是因为,例如,通过使用金融科技贷款,他们可以为自己创造就业机会,并通过使用这种信贷为微型企业提供融资来产生足够的收入。

Pub Date : 2021-07-09 DOI: 10.35942/IJCFA.V3I1.177
K. Wanyonyi, Dominic Ngaba
Savings and Credit Co-operative Societies (Saccos) in Kenya have realised a tremendous growth in the subsector and are investing huge amount of their scarce financial resources in digital  technology to enhance services delivery and offer a wide variety of products and services range, increased membership mobilisation and size, ensure better structure and effective financial performance. Digital financial Services as used in the Saccos industry is as a result of Information Communication Technology revolution commonly referred to as digital  commerce. Many Saccos are steadily changing from manual banking system of operations to providing digital Financial (e-banking) services that include internet banking, M-banking and Automated Teller machine support. The adoption of digital  financial Services by the Saccos is a strategic attempt to deal with increased cut throat competition from traditional banking institutions and non-banking financial institutions, to cut costs and add value to their services in order to optimise benefits to the shareholders. Despite the fact that Saccos have rapidly adopted digital financial services to provide services, and that they drive a huge section of the financial sector savings of the economy, they have experienced various challenges such as uncertainty and risk due to digital  financial services. The study sought to establish the influence of digital financial services on the financial performance of SACCOs in Kakamega County, Kenya. The specific objectives was to determine the effect of the mobile banking, internet banking, use of credit cards and digital  funds transfer on the financial performance of SACCOs in Kakamega County, Kenya. The research was guided by three theories of innovation and technology: Diffusion of Innovation Theory, The Theory of Task-Technology Fit Theory and the Technological context, Organisational context and Environmental context Theory.The study used a descriptive research design. The population of study were staff at the three SACCOs operating in Kakamega County. This consisted of 162 respondents who are the staff of the SACCOs. A sample of 49 respondents was taken which forms 30% of the target population which shall be evenly spread across the three SACCOs. The primary data was collected by use of self-administered semi-structured questionnaire.Collected data was analysed through descriptive and inferential statistics by the use of SPSS. Findings were presented by use of tables, frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation.The study found that the financial performance of the SACCOs was significantly influenced by the digital financial services instituted by the SACCO managements. They demonstrated to have reliable mobile banking system where most of their customers had enrolled on the mobile banking platform and most of customer queries and updates were sorted via the mobile platform.Given the limitations and findings of this study, the researcher recommends that since th
肯尼亚的储蓄和信用合作社(Saccos)实现了子行业的巨大增长,并将大量稀缺的财务资源投入到数字技术中,以加强服务提供,提供各种产品和服务范围,增加会员动员和规模,确保更好的结构和有效的财务绩效。Saccos行业中使用的数字金融服务是信息通信技术革命的结果,通常被称为数字商务。许多Saccos正在稳步地从手工银行操作系统转变为提供数字金融(电子银行)服务,包括网上银行、移动银行和自动柜员机支持。Saccos采用数字金融服务是一项战略尝试,旨在应对来自传统银行机构和非银行金融机构日益激烈的竞争,降低成本,增加服务价值,以优化股东利益。尽管Saccos已经迅速采用数字金融服务来提供服务,并且他们推动了经济中金融部门储蓄的很大一部分,但他们经历了各种挑战,例如数字金融服务带来的不确定性和风险。该研究旨在确定数字金融服务对肯尼亚卡卡梅加县SACCOs财务绩效的影响。具体目标是确定移动银行、网上银行、信用卡使用和数字资金转账对肯尼亚Kakamega县SACCOs财务绩效的影响。本研究以创新与技术的扩散理论、任务-技术契合理论、技术语境理论、组织语境理论和环境语境理论为指导。本研究采用描述性研究设计。研究对象是在卡卡梅加县开展业务的三个sacco的工作人员。这包括162名受访者,他们是SACCOs的工作人员。抽取了49名受访者的样本,占目标人口的30%,这些人口应均匀分布在三个sacco中。主要资料采用自填式半结构化问卷收集。收集的数据通过描述性和推理统计分析,使用SPSS。研究结果通过表格、频率、百分比、平均值和标准差来呈现。研究发现,SACCO管理层设立的数字金融服务显著影响了SACCO的财务绩效。他们展示了可靠的手机银行系统,他们的大多数客户都在手机银行平台上注册,大多数客户的查询和更新都是通过手机平台进行分类的。鉴于本研究的局限性和发现,研究人员建议,由于数字金融服务与银行绩效之间存在正相关关系,而且电子银行使服务更接近银行客户,从而提高了银行业绩效,SACCOs也必须增强该行业的活力,充分和广泛地接受数字银行。手机银行面临着各种挑战,其中包括移动转账服务提供商的系统延迟、交易处理速度慢、交易成本高、一天内可提取的金额有限以及欺诈。
