The impetus of aquaculture as the fastest growing food-producing sector in the world remains key to the attainment of sustainable development goals. Despite the implementation of Economic Stimulus Project - Fish Farming Enterprise Productivity Program (ESP-FFEPP), Kenya’s fisheries remain at their production limit at a time of rapid human population growth. It is therefore crucial to understand the aquaculture project management practices, which would engender their heightened performance. Thus, this study investigated the influence of project management practices on performance of aquaculture projects in Kisumu County, Kenya. The specific objectives of the study were to, examine the influence of technological adoption, communication, community involvement and monitoring and evaluation on the performance of aquaculture projects, This study adopted a descriptive survey research design with a target population of 435 farmers, 2 program assistants, 2 monitoring and evaluation experts and 4 extension officers of the 28 farming groups of Aquaculture business development programme from Kisumu County. A sample size of 205 was drawn from a total population of 435 farmers using Krejcie and Morgan Table 1970. Data was collected by using a questionnaires and interview schedules. Reliability was ensured through a Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha of above 0.7, which is generally considered reliable. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation as well as inferential statistics of correlation and multiple regression analysis using SPSS version 25.0. the four project management practices in this study accounted for R 2 = 0.721 which is 72.1% of the variance in project performance. Basing on F-value of 103.52 and a p-value of 0.00 there is a significant influence of project management practices on performance of aquaculture business development projects in Kisumu County, Kenya. In this regard the management of aquaculture projects should address challenges of project performance by strengthening project management practices through their policy framework.

Global competition poses a challenge to hoteliers forcing them to reposition themselves strategically through entrepreneurial orientation to improve their performance. In Kenya, the performance of hotels continues to worsen courtesy of the poor entrepreneurial orientation (EO) to survive hostile political, social, economic and institutional environment. However, most studies on Dynamic capabilities (DCs) and autonomy have been conducted in developed countries. In this regard, this study was designed to assess the effect of autonomy on performance of star rated hotels in North Rift Region, Kenya: moderating role of dynamic capabilities. The study was grounded on stakeholders’ theory. The study adopted explanatory research design based on samples drawn from across the star rated hotels in North Rift Region. The target population was 575 administrative and service employees of star rated hotels . Stratified and simple random sampling technique was adopted besides using Taro Yamane (1967) formula to calculate the sample size of 278 respondents from the target population. Data was collected by use of self-administered structured questionnaire and was analysed by use of both descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 25. The findings showed that autonomy explained a variation of performance of star rated hotels. After the inclusion of dynamic capabilities as a moderator, findings from hierarchical regression analysis showed that there is an increase in variation of performance of star rated hotels as explained by autonomy . The study concludes that dynamic capabilities significantly moderate the effect of autonomy on performance of star rated hotels. This implies that by implementing autonomy alongside DC basing on the stakeholders’ theory, the star rated hotels stands to improve on their performance. Therefore, star rated hotels to analyse their strategic orientation and pay more attention in addressing autonomy besides dynamic capabilities for purposes of increasing their performance. This will give the internal stakeholders a greater sense of ownership and control over business operations as a source of opportunities, innovations and competitive advantage . The findings of this study are likely to help the management of star rated hotels and other stakeholders to strengthen autonomy and DC to remain competitive for maximal performance for economic development and realization of Vision 2030.

全球竞争对酒店经营者提出了挑战,迫使他们通过创业导向重新定位自己的战略,以提高他们的业绩。在肯尼亚,由于糟糕的创业导向(EO),酒店业绩持续恶化,难以在恶劣的政治、社会、经济和制度环境中生存。然而,大多数关于动态能力和自主性的研究都是在发达国家进行的。在这方面,本研究旨在评估自主性对肯尼亚北裂谷地区星级酒店绩效的影响:动态能力的调节作用。这项研究以利益相关者理论为基础。本研究采用解释性研究设计,选取北裂谷地区各星级酒店的样本。研究对象为575名星级酒店行政服务人员。采用分层简单随机抽样技术,并采用Taro Yamane(1967)公式计算目标人群中278名调查对象的样本量。采用自我管理的结构化问卷收集数据,并使用SPSS版本25进行描述性和推断性统计分析。研究结果表明,自主性解释了星级酒店业绩的变化。在纳入动态能力作为调节因子后,层次回归分析的结果表明,星级酒店的绩效变化增加,这可以用自主性来解释。研究发现,动态能力显著调节了自主性对星级酒店绩效的影响。这意味着,根据利益相关者的理论,星级酒店通过与DC一起实施自治,可以提高其绩效。因此,星级酒店要分析自己的战略定位,在解决动态能力问题的同时,更要重视自主性的问题,以达到提升绩效的目的。这将使内部利益相关者对业务运营有更大的所有权和控制感,并将其作为机会、创新和竞争优势的来源。本研究的结果可能有助于星级酒店的管理层和其他利益相关者加强自主性和DC,以保持竞争力,为经济发展和实现2030年愿景提供最大的绩效。关键词:自主性、企业绩效和动态能力引文:Bii J., Akuku, C., &;金金泰(2023)。肯尼亚北部裂谷地区星级酒店自主性与绩效:动态能力的调节作用商业战略杂志;变革管理,10(3),183 - 197。

The quality of education depends on how skilled and motivated teachers are to improve their professional knowledge and skills throughout all their career for sustained performance. In this regard there has been a growing and continuous demand for teachers to improve their knowledge and skills on curriculum and teaching methodology through professional development strategies. However, gaps in teacher’s professional development is a worldwide problem. This calls for the development of teachers beyond their initial training. In this regard the study focused on the effect of professional development on teachers' performance. In order to successfully accomplish the objective, the study used an explanatory research methodology. The teachers from 248 public secondary schools were the target demographic. The target population was 2262 teachers from 248 public secondary schools in Uasin Gishu County. Taro Yamane (1967) formula was used to determine the study’s sample size of 340 teachers. Data was collected using a questionnaire which was tested for validity and reliability after pre-testing in Nandi County. Data was analysed inferential and descriptive statistics Using SPSS version 20. From the findings formal professional development (t = 12.292, P<.05) and informal professional development (t = 2.075, P<.05), implying that all the professional development strategies significantly affected teachers' performance in public secondary schools in Uasin Gishu County. All the two professional development strategies understudy (informal and formal professional development) jointly explained 56.5 percent variation on teachers' performance. In this regard the public secondary schools should encourage teachers’ professional development strategies for maximal teacher performance through a policy framework.

This study found out the influence of reverse logistics towards organizational performance of textile and apparel firms in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study utilized natural resource based view theory. A descriptive research design was used in this research. The target population of this study was 92 textile and apparel industries in Nairobi County. The respondents were one procurement manager and one finance manager making a total of 184 respondents. The sampling frame for the target population in this research was the list of all 92 textile and apparel industries in Nairobi County. This study however conducted a census on all the 92 textile and apparel industries in Nairobi County without adopting a sampling technique. Because the sample size for sampling was insufficient, the census approach was used. The questionnaire items comprised of both closed ended and open- ended questions. This study pilot tested 10% of the target population size, which represent 9 procurement and finance managers in textile and apparel firms in Kiambu County. The research utilized descriptive statistical tools called SPSS version 26 to analyses data. In order to summarize feedback for further analyzing and enhance comparison, tables and figures were used. The study revealed a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between reverse logistics and the organizational performance of textile and apparel firms in Nairobi County. Based on these findings, it was recommended that reverse logistics should be considered a vital factor for all manufacturing firms in the twenty-first century. Additionally, the study proposed that the Kenyan Government, through NEMA, should establish rules and regulations mandating all manufacturing firms to adopt environmentally friendly practices throughout their entire supply chain.

Widespread hunger and malnutrition persist today despite considerable growth in per capita food availability. This has prompted an evolving conceptualization of food security and of mechanisms to attain and maintain food security. The study aimed at establishing food security and food intervention programs designed to respond to the threat of hunger. The primary objective of the study focused on the effects of food intervention programs on food security in Nassir County, South Sudan. The specific objectives of the study were guided by four variables; emergency response programs, mid-term intervention, long term food intervention and coping strategies. The Theory of Change and Stakeholders Theory anchored the study variables. The descriptive research design was adopted, and in the process proved significant in establishing the existing relationship between the variables. The study target population was 9,996 individuals obtained from different institutions as outlined. A sample of 370 individuals was considered by the researcher. The reliability tool was determined by the use of SPSS Software version 25. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in percentages, mean and standard deviation. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in percentages, mean, and standard deviation. The study used inferential statistics to test the hypotheses. The study revealed that an emergency response program with p=0.489 has a weak insignificant positive effect on food security in Nassir County. Secondly, mid-term food intervention with an r (215), =0.048, p=0.001>0.05 showed that there was significant and positive moderate effect on food security. Thirdly, long-term food security intervention with a r (215)=.208, p=.003 showed that there was a significant and positive moderate effect on food security. Finally, coping strategies with a (r(215) =-.17. p=.807>0.05) demonstrated that there is an adverse (negative) effect on food security. The study recommended that a multi-sector response with a lens for relief, development and peace initiatives would be effective in addressing food security.

This has prompted an evolving conceptualization of food security and of mechanisms to attain and maintain food security. The study aimed at establishing food security and food intervention programs designed to respond to the threat of hunger. The primary objective of the study focused on the effects of food intervention programs on food security in Nassir County, South Sudan. The specific objectives of the study were guided by four variables; emergency response programs, mid-term intervention, long term food intervention and coping strategies. The Theory of Change and Stakeholders Theory anchored the study variables. The descriptive research design was adopted, and in the process proved significant in establishing the existing relationship between the variables. The study target population was 9,996 individuals obtained from different institutions as outlined. A sample of 370 individuals was considered by the researcher. The reliability tool was determined by the use of SPSS Software version 25. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in percentages, mean and standard deviation. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in percentages, mean, and standard deviation. The study used inferential statistics to test the hypotheses. The study revealed that an emergency response program with p=0.489 has a weak insignificant positive effect on food security in Nassir County. Secondly, mid-term food intervention with an r (215), =0.048, p=0.001&gt;0.05 showed that there was significant and positive moderate effect on food security. Thirdly, long-term food security intervention with a r (215)=.208, p=.003 showed that there was a significant and positive moderate effect on food security.

Before interest rate capping, commercial banks fixed their basic rates and offered their clients the highest muscle. Such higher payments undermined customers but allowed banks to continue to benefit from huge profit margins. In contrast, the introduction of interest rate capping and how banks have been dissolved has resulted to the drop of profitability . A case of Kenya Commercial Bank Limited in Kakamega County was utilized to evaluate the relationship between interest rate capping and the performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study's objectives were to; identify the relationship between credit uptake, financial exposure and lending practices and the financial performance of Kenyan commercial banks. A descriptive survey research design was utilized. The study's target population was all staffs in the two KCB branches in Kakamega County; including branch managers, supervisors, and other staffs. To sample 103 prime employees, stratified random sampling was used. Questionnaires were used to gather primary data while secondary data was collected using secondary data schedule. The results revealed that there is significant positive relationship between credit uptake and financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya (r=0.606, P=0.000). Further, there is significant negative relationship between financial exposure and financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya (r=-0.282, P=0.011). Lastly, there was significant positive relationship between loaning practices and financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya (r=0.661, P=0.000). The study concluded that there is significant relationship between interest rate capping and performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study recommended that management at KCB should balance fees chargeable on each loan product as processing fee to a percentage of the loan to make loans affordable to customers. Furthermore, financial exposure that banks face from risky customers can be reduced by improving on credit management and closer scrutiny to weed out those likely to default. Lastly, customer’s needs should be considered when setting loaning practices such as the levels of interest rates so as to enhance its financial intermediation role. The government, academics, general public, and other stakeholders in the banking business are expected to benefit from the knowledge this research has to offer.

在利率上限之前,商业银行固定了基本利率,并为客户提供最高的优惠。这种更高的支付损害了客户的利益,但却让银行继续从巨大的利润率中获益。相比之下,利率上限的引入和银行解散的方式导致了盈利能力的下降。以Kakamega县肯尼亚商业银行有限公司为例,评价利率上限与肯尼亚商业银行绩效之间的关系。这项研究的目的是;确定肯尼亚商业银行的信贷吸收、财务风险和贷款实践与财务绩效之间的关系。采用描述性调查研究设计。本研究的目标人群为卡卡梅加县两家KCB分行的所有员工;包括分公司经理、主管和其他员工。对103名优秀员工采用分层随机抽样。采用问卷调查法收集一手数据,采用二次数据表收集二次数据。结果显示,肯尼亚商业银行的信贷吸收与财务绩效之间存在显著的正相关关系(r=0.606, P=0.000)。此外,肯尼亚商业银行的财务风险敞口与财务绩效之间存在显著的负相关关系(r=-0.282, P=0.011)。最后,肯尼亚商业银行的贷款行为与财务绩效之间存在显著的正相关关系(r=0.661, P=0.000)。研究得出结论,利率上限与肯尼亚商业银行绩效之间存在显著关系。该研究建议,KCB的管理层应将每项贷款产品收取的费用作为处理费与贷款的一定比例相平衡,以使客户能够负担得起贷款。此外,通过改善信贷管理和更严格的审查来剔除那些可能违约的客户,银行面临的来自高风险客户的金融风险敞口可以减少。最后,在制定利率水平等贷款做法时应考虑客户的需求,以增强其金融中介作用。政府、学术界、公众和银行业务的其他利益相关者都有望从这项研究所提供的知识中受益。关键字;利率上限,财务绩效,信贷吸收,财务风险,贷款实践,商业银行引文:Ocharo, r.k., &;Sangoro, O.(2023)。利率上限与肯尼亚Kakamega县商业银行财务绩效的关系商业战略杂志;管理学报,29(2),397 - 397。

Project performance is evaluated based on cost, time, and quality . Residential building construction projects encounter various risks that hamper those components of performance. Risk management enhances project performance and it is affected by various determinants. This study established the impact of risk management determinants on performance of residential buildings construction projects in Nairobi, Kenya. The identified determinants were risk mitigation strategy, risk management skills, project organization structure, and resource allocation. The study was anchored on decision theory, cost-benefit analysis model, and stakeholder theory. The target population was 1024 projects undertaken by contractors in the NCA 1, 2, 3 categories. The applied stratified random sampling method yielded 103 projects as the sample size (sampling factor being 0.1). Descriptive survey research design was used. The pilot study comprised sample of 5 projects. Data was collected using a questionnaire. The response rate from the targeted sample was 73.8% which was above the expected threshold. Data analysis was done on SPSS for both inferential and descriptive analysis. The respondents’ education level was noted to be 42.11%, 36.16%, and 19.74% for post-graduate, undergraduate, and diploma respectively. 50% of the respondents had worked between 5-10 years, 36.84% had worked over 10 years, while 13.16% had worked for less than 5 years. A reliability analysis was conducted using Cronbach’s Alpha test which yielded 0.762, an indication of higher level of internal consistency. The model summary indicated R to be 0.676 which showed high levels of correlation between project performance and the identified determinants. Regression analysis yielded coefficients that resulted in the equation, Y = 1.779 + 0.258X 1 - 0.049X 2 + 0.303X 3 + 0.120X 4 . That illustrated that all determinants had positive correlation with project performance except project organization structure. The study concluded that risk management strategies and risk management skills had positive and significant impact on the project performance of residential buildings’ construction in Nairobi, Kenya. Project stakeholders were recommended to adopt these strategies without fail. The study recommended undertaking the study in other areas to ascertain a comparative analysis on the significant determinants.

Residential building construction projects encounter various risks that hamper those components of performance. Risk management enhances project performance and it is affected by various determinants. This study established the impact of risk management determinants on performance of residential buildings construction projects in Nairobi, Kenya. The identified determinants were risk mitigation strategy, risk management skills, project organization structure, and resource allocation. The study was anchored on decision theory, cost-benefit analysis model, and stakeholder theory. The target population was 1024 projects undertaken by contractors in the NCA 1, 2, 3 categories. The applied stratified random sampling method yielded 103 projects as the sample size (sampling factor being 0.1). Descriptive survey research design was used. The pilot study comprised sample of 5 projects. Data was collected using a questionnaire. The response rate from the targeted sample was 73.8% which was above the expected threshold.
