Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of idealized influence and inspirational motivation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) on the performance of senior managers in the private sector in Kenya.Methodology: The study adopted the positivism research philosophy and descriptive correlational research design. The target population consisted of 984 senior managers reporting to the CEOs of 183 private sector companies under the umbrella of the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA). A sample size of 284 was drawn using stratified random sampling, and data was collected using structured questionnaires. A response rate of 92% was realized. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics namely frequencies, means, and standard deviation. Inferential statistics were also used in the analysis which included Pearson’s correlation, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and multiple linear regression.Results: Results of the multiple linear regression showed that the CEO’s idealized influence significantly predicted performance of senior managers R2= .505, F (1, 260) = 264.042, p < .05; β = .711, t (260) = 16.249, p <.05. Further, multiple linear regression results indicated that inspirational motivation of the CEO significantly predicted the performance of senior managers, R2= .564, F (1, 260) = 335.141, p < .05, β = .751, t (260) = 18.307, p<.05. Testing the influence of goal orientation as a moderating variable showed that goal orientation significantly predicted the relationship between idealized influence and inspirational motivation of the CEO and performance of senior managers R2= .839, F (2, 5) = 265.099, p < .05, β = .111, t = 3.900, p<.05. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study provides a unique contribution to the theory and practice of transformational leadership in a new context in terms how trаnsformаtionаl leadership behavior associated with the dimensions of idealized influence and inspirational motivation, affect performance of senior managers in private sector organizations. The findings are useful for private sector organizations and policy makers in explaining effective leadership behaviors that can be applied by the CEO for improving performance of senior managers. These will be useful in enhancing performance improvement strategies. Researchers and academicians will also find the study useful in defining new research dimensions by using the research results to expand related arguments in future.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of participative governance and human capital on the organizational performance of dairy co-operatives in Kenya.Methodology: The study adopted the positivist research philosophy and descriptive correlational research design. The population of the study consisted of 198 executive directors/managers of active dairy co-operatives in eight counties in the Mt. Kenya region. A sample size of 184 was drawn using stratified random sampling, and data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. The data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency, mean, and standard deviation. Additionally, inferential data analysis methods of Pearson’s correlation, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression were used to test the hypotheses.Results: The results of multiple regression showed that market orientation significantly predicted revenue per customer, b = 1.64, t(141) = 7.66, p < .05; ROA, b = 2.14, t(141) = 5.9, p < .05; and product innovation, b =1.89, t(141) = 5.77, p < .05. Participative governance was not significant in explaining revenue per customer, return on assets, and product innovation. Although the results of multiple regression analysis showed that human capital was not significant in explaining revenue per customer or ROA, it significantly affected product innovation, b = .94, t(141) = 2.01, p <.05. In addition, the regression indicated that revenue per customer explained 49.7% of the variance, (R2 = .497, F(5, 125) = 20.10, p < .05, while ROA explained 29.4 %, (R2 = .294, F(5, 123) = 9.06, p < .05, and product innovation explained 41.2%, (R2 = 0.412, F(5, 124) = 15.18, p < .05.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study contributes to theory of corporate governance by using stewardship theory to underpin research into organizational performance of a member-based agricultural enterprise. The study contributes to practice by suggesting that participation of members and shareholders in organizations may have other benefits, including non-economic ones, but enhancing organizational performance may not be one of them. In terms of policy, the study suggests that dairy co-operatives should put emphasis on acquiring employees with requisite knowledge and skills or their performance may be hamstrung by inadequate intellectual capital to facilitate their innovation and performance.
目的:本研究的目的是探讨参与式治理和人力资本对肯尼亚乳制品合作社组织绩效的影响。研究方法:采用实证主义研究哲学和描述性相关研究设计。研究对象包括肯尼亚山地区8个县活跃乳品合作社的198名执行董事/经理。采用分层随机抽样法抽取184人的样本，采用自填问卷法收集数据。然后使用频率、平均值和标准差的描述性统计对数据进行分析。此外，采用Pearson相关、方差分析和多元线性回归等数据分析方法对假设进行检验。结果:多元回归结果显示，市场导向对单位顾客收入有显著预测作用，b = 1.64, t(141) = 7.66, p < 0.05;ROA, b = 2.14, t(141) = 5.9, p < 0.05;产品创新，b =1.89, t(141) = 5.77, p < 0.05。参与式治理在解释每个客户的收入、资产回报和产品创新方面并不重要。多元回归分析结果显示，人力资本对每客户收益和ROA的影响不显著，但对产品创新的影响显著，b = 0.94, t(141) = 2.01, p < 0.05。此外，回归结果表明，每客户收益解释了49.7%的方差，(R2 = .497, F(5,125) = 20.10, p < 0.05; ROA解释了29.4%，(R2 = .294, F(5,123) = 9.06, p < 0.05;产品创新解释了41.2%，(R2 = 0.412, F(5,124) = 15.18, p < 0.05。在理论、实践和政策方面的独特贡献:本研究通过运用管理理论支撑对会员制农业企业组织绩效的研究，对公司治理理论做出了贡献。该研究通过提出成员和股东参与组织可能有其他好处，包括非经济的好处，但提高组织绩效可能不是其中之一，从而有助于实践。在政策方面，该研究建议乳制品合作社应把重点放在招聘具备必要知识和技能的员工上，否则他们的表现可能会因智力资本不足而受到阻碍，从而无法促进他们的创新和表现。

Purpose: Across all sectors of the society, leadership is pivotal in ensuring that organizational goals and objectives are achieved as well as its continuity. Moreover, the type of leadership style has a significant contribution on an organization’s performance and overall success. One such leadership style, that most scholars have attributed with good performance in organizations, is transformational leadership. Transformational leadership has different components that, in aggregate, lead to better performance and success of organizations. One such component that is exhibited by leaders who are transformational, is intellectual stimulation. It is based on this influence of transformational leadership in organizations and its people that motivated this study. The study set to find out the influence of intellectual stimulation of judicial officers on the performance of judicial staff in Kenya.Methodology: Descriptive correlational research design was used in the study to find out the degree, direction and the significance of influence of individualized consideration on the performance of judicial staff. The target population of the study consisted of 770 judicial staff in the Kenyan Judiciary. The study used stratified random sampling technique to select 385 judicial staff from High Courts and Magistrate Courts in Nairobi County. Bivariate correlations were used to establish the relationship between the study variables, while one-way ANOVA was used to examine variability. Besides, the strength of association between the variables was determined using Chi-square tests.Findings: The study found that intellectual stimulation of judicial officers significantly influenced the performance of judicial staff, r (312) = 0.679, p< .05; r (312) = 0.685, p< .05; r (312) = 0.630, p< .05. The study found out that intellectual stimulation of judicial officers did positively and significantly influence the performance of judicial staff in Kenya.Policy recommendation: The study recommends that to improve judicial staff performance, judicial officers should be innovative on efficient ways of completing work duties, should encourage creativity in solving work-related problems, and appreciate staffs who are inquisitive and seek to know more.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the contribution of corporate governance practices to financial distress facing local authorities in Kenya.Methodology: A descriptive research design was used to conduct the study. The study population comprised of the 175 Local Authorities in Kenya. A sample of 20 Local Authorities was selected using a stratified random sampling technique. A questionnaire was used to collect data from both the Local Authorities officers and customers of Local Authorities. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative responses were analyzed using content analysis. Results: Results indicated that Local Authorities had poor governance practices. Specifically, Local Authorities did not ensure transparency through the display of performance results to all stakeholders. In addition, the Local Authorities do not have a good leadership structure which supports corporate governance. It was also observed from the results that the number of corruption cases had not reduced in Local Authorities.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The studies recommended that there should be clearly defined boundaries between political and administrative wings and minimize interference by politicians in the implementation of policies and the recruitment of bureaucrats to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. The culture of kickbacks and corruption should be eliminated through a cultural and mind set change.
