    INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE: A CASE STUDY OF KENYA AIRPORTS AUTHORITY
    (2022-04) Benard Omoro Bosire; Prof. Emmanuel Awuor
    This study concentrated on the technological roles and performance of supply chain management in Kenya Airports Authority. The descriptive research design was used in the research study. The main data collection instrument was a structured questionnaire and phone interviews, which were used to collect data on various departments such as engineering, information and communication technology, human resources, procurement, corporate planning, and finance. To accomplish this, the research study limited itself to Kenya Airports Authority employees, with a target population of 240. The questionnaires were distributed online to senior managers, middle level managers, lower-level management, and non- management staff using a census sampling method Cronbach Alpha of 0.70 at 95% confidence level was used to assess the instrument's reliability. The collected data was coded for ease of analysis, and both inferential and descriptive statistics were generated using the SSPSS computer packages version 23. To make inference, perform a regression analysis on the dependent variable (supply chain performance) and independent variables (accuracy, speed, operational costs, and information exchange). The study found a 0.701 positive and statistically significant relationship between technological roles and supply chain performance, which is greater than the acceptable figure of 0.05. The findings show that there is a strong correlation between the two and that they rely heavily on one another. According to the findings of the study, departmental functions are inclined to improve supply chain performance through the use of technology to the greatest extent possible. The main recommendation is for organizations, particularly those in the service industry, to invest in modern technology, staff training, and infrastructure, as this will make their work easier and allow them to meet the needs of their customers while achieving organizational goals.

    INTEGRATIVE LEADERSHIP STYLE AND THE ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL STATE CORPORATIONS IN KENYA
    (management university of africa, 2025-11) Mungatana Danson Buya; Prof. Emmanuel Awuor; Dr. Ole Mapelu
    State businesses are essential to Kenya's Vision 2030, which seeks industrialization and enhanced quality of life. Recent statistics from the Kenya National Treasury reveal subpar performance, characterized by substantial cumulative losses in the 2021/2022 financial year. The objective of this stud was to establish the relationship between integrative leadership style and organizational performance of commercial state corporations in Kenya. Utilizing the Full Range Leadership Model and Resource-Based View Theory (RBV), the research implemented a cross-sectional survey design, gathering data from top management teams of all 52 commercial state corporations in Kenya via purposive sampling, while adhering rigorously to ethical standards during data analysis. The study results revealed that the Pearson correlation coefficient between integrative leadership style and organizational performance was R = -0.730, with a significance level (p-value) of 0.000. This robust positive connection signifies that an increase in integrative leadership style is associated with a substantial improvement in organizational effectiveness. The R Square value was 0.533, indicating that about 53.3% of the variation in organizational performance is attributable to the integrative leadership style. This conclusion underscores the significance of a successful integrative leadership style in improving several facets of organizational performance, reinforcing the notion that leadership styles promoting cooperation and employee engagement provide superior results. The study recommends that commercial state corporations in Kenya priorities and invest in the development of integrative leadership style initiatives. Considering the favorable view and considerable influence of integrative leadership on organizational performance, training programs should specifically emphasize the enhancement of leaders' skills in staff development, promoting ethical conduct, and instilling confidence in subordinates.”

    MODERATING ROLE OF GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTEGRATIVE LEADERSHIP STYLE AND THE ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL STATE CORPORATIONS IN KENYA
    (management university of africa, 2025-11) Mungatana Danson Buya; Prof. Emmanuel Awuor; Dr. Ole Mapelu
    Research has revealed that Kenya's Commercial State Corporations continue to perform significantly worse, with their collective financial losses substantially exceeding projections. This deteriorating performance indicates a serious financial crisis in these state-owned enterprises. If this trend continues unchecked, it poses a major threat to Kenya's ability to achieve its long-term national development goals as outlined in Vision 2030. The objective of this study was to establish the moderating effect of government regulations on the relationship between integrative leadership style and organizational performance of commercial state corporations in Kenya. Utilizing the Full Range Leadership Model, Theory of Public Interest Regulation and Resource-Based View Theory (RBV), the research implemented a cross-sectional survey design, gathering data from top management teams of all 52 commercial state corporations in Kenya via purposive sampling, while adhering rigorously to ethical standards during data analysis. The regression analysis showed a strong relationship (R = 0.748), with 55.9% of organizational performance explained by integrative leadership and government regulations. Both integrative leadership (β = 0.602, p < 0.001) and government regulations (β = 0.198, p < 0.001) were significant positive predictors of performance. The addition of an interaction term revealed a significant moderating effect (β = 0.113, p < 0.001), indicating that government regulations enhance the positive impact of integrative leadership on performance. This means that stronger regulatory frameworks amplify the effectiveness of integrative leadership, demonstrating that regulations act as a facilitator rather than a barrier. The study recommends that leaders in commercial state corporations adopt adaptive leadership strategies aligned with the regulatory environment to enhance organizational performance. By fostering a culture of compliance and ethical conduct in line with legal requirements, leaders can amplify the positive impact of their practices. Proactive engagement with regulatory bodies helps leaders stay informed about policy changes and integrate them into strategic decision-making. This responsiveness not only improves performance but also strengthens accountability and legitimacy. Ultimately, aligning leadership approaches with government regulations enables sustained success and better navigation of complex operational landscapes.

    Tendering Process and Performance of County Government Water Projects in SEKEB Region, Kenya
    (Stratford Peer Reviewed Journals and Book Publishing, 2025-08) Frederick Kilonzi Maluki; Dr.Paul Machoka; Prof. Emmanuel Awuor
    Access to safe and reliable water remains a persistent challenge in Kenya’s South Eastern Kenya Economic Bloc (SEKEB), comprising Machakos, Makueni, and Kitui counties. Despite substantial investments by county governments in water infrastructure, project performance remains below expectations, often due to inefficiencies within procurement systems. This study investigated the influence of the tendering process on the performance of county government water projects in SEKEB, using Tendering Theory and Agency Theory as guiding frameworks. A mixed-methods approach with a descriptive cross-sectional design was employed, drawing data from 213 stakeholders involved in planning, procurement, and implementation. Descriptive statistics revealed moderately effective tendering practices (mean = 3.80), with persistent gaps in supplier monitoring and contract execution. Correlation analysis demonstrated a strong positive relationship between tendering processes and project performance (r = 0.824, p < 0.01), while regression analysis confirmed that tendering accounted for 67.9% of the variation in performance outcomes (R² = 0.679; β = 0.876, p < 0.001). These findingsaffirm that well-structured procurement processes—particularly in planning, prequalification, and competitive bidding—significantly enhance service quality, cost efficiency, and timeliness in devolved water infrastructure projects. To reinforce these outcomes, the study recommends professionalizing procurement personnel, institutionalizing supplier audits, and digitizing procurement via IFMIS. Beyond practical recommendations, the study highlights a critical research frontier: examining the intersection ofprocurement integrity, digital innovation, and inter-agency coordination in sustaining long-term water infrastructure outcomes. Future studies should explore longitudinal effects of procurement reforms and the role of participatory governance in strengthening performance accountability in Kenya’s devolved systems.Keywords:Tendering process, public procurement, project performance, water infrastructure, county governments, SEKEB, Kenya
