The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of internal appraisal on the organizational performance of national health non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Kenya. The study utilized positivism research philosophy and cross-sectional research design. The target population constituted 564 program directors and chief executive officers (CEOs) of 282 national NGOs registered with the NGO coordination board. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of234, of which 227 responded to the questionnaire. Structured questionnaire was used for data collection, while descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used for data analysis. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied to test the study hypothesis. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) Version 26 and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 26 software were used for the analysis. The findings showed that the national health NGOs engaged in internal appraisal of leadership (M = 3.48, SD = 0.407), project development (M = 3.22, SD = 0.365) and funding (M = 3.20, SD = 0.397). In addition, it was established that conducting internal appraisal has a significant positive influence on the organizational performance of national health NGOs in Kenya(mn= 0.41,$ = 0.643,km = 6.578, 9 < 0.05). The study concluded that conducting internal appraisal is essential to enable national health NGOs in Kenya to accomplish their organizational performance objectives. This paper makes recommendations to the national health NGOs to regularly appraise internal strategic elements and continually analyze their organizations’ capacity to take advantage of current opportunities while mitigating threats.

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of leverage on income retention of generalinsurers in East Africa. The study adopted explanatory sequential mixed methods research design whichconsists of collecting and analysing secondary data first and subsequently collecting primary data toget deeper insight on the results from secondary data. For secondary data, a census was conducted on the total population of 87 general insurance companies in existence during the period of study from2015 to 2019 across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. Data were obtained frominsurance regulatory reports, company annual reports and through data collection sheets where reportswere not available. The primary data phase consisted of in-depth interviews carried out on a stratifiedsample of 25 key informants across the five countries. Both descriptive and inferential statistics wereused to analyse the data. The regression results indicate that leverage, as measured by debt to equityratio, has a negative and significant effect on income retention of general insurers in East Africa (β1=-0.02337, p-value = 0.001). According to the details per country, this negative relationship is significantfor Kenya and Rwanda while insignificant for Tanzania, Uganda and Burundi. The study recommendsthat insurance companies should hold adequate equity relative to their liabilities to enhance theirincome retention.

The aim of the research was to determine the influence of a firm’s resource portfolio on financialsustainability of NGOs in Kenya. The study was underpinned by strategic leadership theory and applieddescriptive correlational research design. The study’s target population was 6,028 comprising activelocal NGOs. It utilized stratified random sampling to select 413 CEOs/board members as respondentsthrough a self-administered questionnaire. Correlation results showed that firm’s resource portfoliohad a positive and significant relationship with financial sustainability, r (393) = 0.564, p ≤ .05.Ordinal logistic regression (Nagelkerke Pseudo R2) results revealed that firm’s resource portfolioexplained 13.9% of the variance in financial sustainability, R~ 73 ~ 2= .139, while the parameter estimatesresults showed that firm’s resource portfolio significantly predicted financial sustainability, β2 = 2.725, p≤.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected implying that the firm’s resource portfoliohas significant influence on financial sustainability. The study recommends strategic leadership teamsto manage appropriately the organization's resource portfolio by organizing and bundling them intocapabilities, structuring their organizations to utilize the capabilities and selecting optimal strategiesto leverage on and exploit these resources to achieve financial sustainability.

This research study sought to determine how the logical-incremental strategy implementation style, andeach of its three constructs (goal clarity, employee commitment and continuous steady improvements),influenced the performance of commercial state corporations in Kenya. This research study employedthe positivism research philosophy and a descriptive research design. The multistage sampling method(homogenous purposive sampling, stratified random sampling and simple random sampling) wasapplied to draw 327 middle-level managers from the target population. Using linear regressionanalysis, this research study established that the logical-incremental strategy implementation stylepositively and significantly influenced the performance of commercial state corporations in Kenya.Further, this research study found that goal clarity, employee commitment and continuous steadyimprovements positively and significantly influenced the financial performance of commercial statecorporations in Kenya (p < 0.05). In addition, the present study established that goal clarity andcontinuous steady improvements had a positive and significant influence on the customer satisfactionof commercial state corporations in Kenya (p < 0.05), but employee commitment had no statisticallysignificant influence on customer satisfaction (p > 0.05). This study concludes that adoption of thelogical-incremental strategy implementation style enhances the performance of commercial statecorporations in Kenya, and therefore, recommends that in order to achieve enhanced performance, themanagement of commercial state corporations should ensure that strategic objectives are clear, thatemployees are committed, and that the organization continuously improves its processes andprocedures in order to enhance organizational effectiveness.

Technology has transformed how social organizations and individuals socialize and do business today. It has generated tremendous, as well as complex economic and social challenges that mostly involve problems that people have interacting with others in society or engaging in normal social behaviors. Among the strategies posed to conquer the post-modern challenges is the concept of social innovation that involves much more than creating a new model, but one that creates empathy, as well as a change in power related relationships and a change in the way people think and act. The research studied the influence of social innovation on organizational effectiveness in Gotabgaa International organization in the USA. It focused on the organization’s adoption and utilization of social media platform as a social innovation. The findings from the study established that social needs, organizational political environment, organizational culture and organizational social capital statistically significantly predicted organizational effectiveness F(4, 217) = 190.968, p < .001.The findings also demonstrate the positive effect of innovation on organizational effectiveness and that the social system internal to the organization is essential to the adoption of innovations. It is also evident from the findings that social innovation is much more likely to take place when there are favorable organizational conditions.
科技已经改变了当今社会组织和个人的社交和做生意的方式。它产生了巨大而复杂的经济和社会挑战，这些挑战主要涉及人们在社会中与他人互动或从事正常社会行为的问题。克服后现代挑战的策略之一是社会创新的概念，它涉及的不仅仅是创造一种新模式，而是创造同理心，以及改变与权力相关的关系，改变人们的思维和行为方式。本研究以美国Gotabgaa国际组织为研究对象，研究了社会创新对组织有效性的影响。它侧重于组织对社交媒体平台的采用和利用，作为一种社会创新。研究发现，社会需求、组织政治环境、组织文化和组织社会资本对组织效能有显著的预测作用F(4,217) = 190.968, p < 0.001。研究结果还证明了创新对组织有效性的积极影响，组织内部的社会系统对创新的采用至关重要。从研究结果中也可以明显看出，当有有利的组织条件时，社会创新更有可能发生。

This study’s purpose was to explore the relationship between organizational agility and sustained competitive advantage among Kenyan Private Multi-Practice Hospitals (PMPHs). The study was driven by positivism philosophy and used a descriptive correlational research design. The target population included 690 managers from 46 private level 5 hospitals in Kenya from which a sample of 253 managers was obtained using stratified simple random sampling technique. To gather data, a standardized questionnaire was administered. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics (means, percentages, frequencies and standard deviations) and structural equation modelling. The findings from the study established that organizational agility of the PMPHs in Kenya had a significant positive effect on their sustained competitive advantage (β= 0.556, CR = 5.158, p <0.05). There are implications from the study findings for Kenya's private hospital administration to enhance the organizational agility capabilities of their hospitals such as sensing capabilities, leveraging capabilities and reconfiguration capabilities, as an avenue to effectively, and efficiently respond to the complex and dynamic external environment.

Kenya is one of the Developing countries that are yet to attain universal healthcare goals. It targets and envisions collaborations in healthcare as being critical to the realization of the universal health goals. The general objective of the study was therefore toestablish the influence of the alliance structural design on strategic collaboration competitive advantage among universities and teaching hospitals in Kenya. This study adopted a positivist philosophy and a descriptive cross sectional research design. The study population comprised 10 universities and 10 teaching hospitals as approved, by the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council, respectively. The census technique was deployed to make use of all the elements in the population with primary data collected by use of a structured questionnaire, while secondary data was collected using a document review guide. Frequencies, measures of central tendency and dispersal were used in descriptive statistical analysis while correlations, cross tabulations and ordinal logistic regression were used for inferential statistical analysis. Ordinal logistic regression helped determine the significance of relationships between the predictor and outcome variables. The study established that the alliance structurewas significant for collaboration competitive advantage. Competitive advantage was operationalized using financialoutcomes and learning and growth. Alliance structural design was a significant predictor of the financial outcome of universities (β = 1.513, p < 0.05), teaching hospitals (β = 1.518, p < 0.05) and in combination (β = 1.520, p < 0.05). Alliance structural design was also a significant predictor of learning and growth in universities (β = 1.594, p < 0.05), teaching hospitals (β = 1.231, p < 0.05) and combined (β = 1.371, p < 0.05).
肯尼亚是尚未实现全民医疗保健目标的发展中国家之一。它将卫生保健领域的合作作为实现全民健康目标的关键，并将其定为目标。因此，研究的总体目标是确定联盟结构设计对肯尼亚大学和教学医院战略合作竞争优势的影响。本研究采用实证主义研究哲学和描述性横断面研究设计。研究对象分别是经肯尼亚医生和牙医委员会批准的10所大学和10所教学医院。采用了人口普查技术，利用人口中的所有要素，使用结构化调查表收集初级数据，而使用文件审查指南收集次级数据。描述性统计分析使用频率、集中趋势和分散的度量，而相关性、交叉表和有序逻辑回归用于推理统计分析。有序逻辑回归有助于确定预测变量和结果变量之间关系的显著性。研究表明，联盟结构对合作竞争优势有显著影响。竞争优势是通过财务结果、学习和成长来实现的。联盟结构设计对高校(β = 1.513, p < 0.05)、教学医院(β = 1.518, p < 0.05)和联合医院(β = 1.520, p < 0.05)的财务结果有显著预测作用。联盟结构设计对高校(β = 1.594, p < 0.05)、教学医院(β = 1.231, p < 0.05)和联合医院(β = 1.371, p < 0.05)的学习和成长也有显著的预测作用。

The study sought to investigate the influence of idealized influence of the Council of Ministers on the perceived growth of Intra-Regional Trade in the East African Community (EAC). The research question highligthed in this paper therefore is: To what extent does idealized influence of the Council Members influence the growth of Intra-Regional Trade in the EAC? The study adopted positivism research philosophy and explanatory sequential mixed design and was anchored on the transformational leadership theory. The target population comprised 205 Senior Trade Officers and Senior technical officers at the EAC headquarters. A sample size of 152 was drawn using random sampling technique. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire containing open and closed ended questions, while interview guide was used for the technical officers. Data collected was coded, cleaned and analysed using SPSS version 24 to obtaindescriptive and inferential statsitics. The results showed that ideаlizedinfluence significаntly predicted the growth of intra-regional trade in the EAC, R2= 0.162, F (1, 121) = 23.452, p < .05; β = .364, t (9.197) = 4.843, p < .05. The null hypothesis was rejected. The findings showed that increased idealized influence will have a positive effect on the growth of intraregional trade. The study concluded that to enhance the growth of intra-regional trade, the council should be aware that idealized influencebehavior enhances the growth of intra-regional trade. The study recommends further research on the moderating effect of national culture on the influence of idealized influence on the growth of intra-regional trade in the EAC.
这项研究试图调查部长理事会理想化的影响力对东非共同体区域内贸易增长的影响。因此，本文重点研究的问题是:理事会成员的理想化影响在多大程度上影响了东亚共同体区域内贸易的增长?本研究采用实证主义研究哲学和解释性序贯混合设计，并以变革型领导理论为基础。目标人群包括选管会总部的205名高级贸易主任及高级技术主任。采用随机抽样技术抽取152个样本。数据收集采用一份包含开放式和封闭式问题的结构化问卷，而技术人员则采用访谈指南。收集的数据进行编码，清洗和分析，使用SPSS版本24，以获得描述性和推断性统计。结果表明:理想化影响显著预测东亚共同体区域内贸易增长，R2= 0.162, F (1,121) = 23.452, p < 0.05;β = 0.364, t (9.197) = 4.843, p < 0.05。零假设被拒绝。研究结果表明，理想化影响的增加将对区域内贸易的增长产生积极影响。研究的结论是，为了促进区域内贸易的增长，理事会应该意识到理想化的影响行为促进了区域内贸易的增长。本研究建议进一步研究民族文化对理想化影响对东亚共同体区域内贸易增长的调节作用。

Kenya lags behind in the attainment of universal healthcare goals and targets despite envisioningcollaborations in healthcare as being critical to the realization of the universal health goals. The general objective of the study was to establish the influence of strategic leadership on strategiccollaboration competitive advantage among universities and teaching hospitals in Kenya. This studyadopted a positivist philosophy and a descriptive cross sectional research design. The study populationcomprised 10 universities and 10 teaching hospitals as approved by the Kenya Medical Practitionersand Dentists Council, respectively. The census technique was deployed to make use of all the elementsin the population with primary data collected by use of a structured questionnaire, while secondarydata was collected using a document review guide. Frequencies, measures of central tendency anddispersal were used in descriptive statistical analysis, while correlations, cross tabulations and ordinallogistic regression were used for inferential statistical analysis. Ordinal logistic regression helpeddetermine the significance of relationships between the predictor and outcome variables. The studyestablished that strategic leadership was significant for collaboration competitive advantage.Competitive advantage was operationalized using financial outcomes and learning and growth.Strategic leadership was a significant predictor of financial outcomes in universities (β = 1.524, p <0.05), teaching hospitals (β = 1.7, p < 0.05) and combined (β = 1.556, p < 0.05). Strategic leadershipwas also a significant predictor of learning and growth in universities (β = 0.981, p < 0.05), teachinghospitals (β = 1.186, p < 0.05) and combined (β = 1.037, p < 0.05).
肯尼亚在实现全民卫生保健目标和具体目标方面落后，尽管设想卫生保健领域的合作对实现全民卫生保健目标至关重要。研究的总体目标是建立战略领导对肯尼亚大学和教学医院战略合作竞争优势的影响。本研究采用实证主义研究哲学和描述性横断面研究设计。研究对象包括分别经肯尼亚医生和牙医委员会批准的10所大学和10所教学医院。采用人口普查技术，利用人口中的所有元素，通过使用结构化问卷收集主要数据，而使用文件审查指南收集次要数据。描述性统计分析采用频率、集中趋势和分散度量，而相关性、交叉表和有序回归用于推理统计分析。有序逻辑回归有助于确定预测变量和结果变量之间关系的显著性。研究发现，战略领导对合作竞争优势有显著影响。竞争优势是通过财务结果、学习和成长来实现的。战略领导对高校(β = 1.524, p <0.05)、教学医院(β = 1.7, p <0.05)和综合医院(β = 1.556, p <0.05)的财务结果有显著预测作用。战略领导对高校(β = 0.981, p < 0.05)、教学医院(β = 1.186, p < 0.05)和综合医院(β = 1.037, p < 0.05)的学习和成长也有显著的预测作用。
