Item Organization Communication and Values on Employee Performance at Knchr(2025) Doreen Mayaka; Leseiyo MosesAbstract: Organisational culture shapes how work is done and establishes standards of conduct within institutions, making it a major influencer of employee behaviour and performance. While a weak or poisonous culture compromises efficacy, a strong and good culture unites workers with company objectives, encourages teamwork, and boosts productivity. Research has shown that although most leaders acknowledge the importance of organizational culture, few can clearly define or implement an effective one, often resulting in inefficiencies, failed programs and systemic weaknesses. At the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), cultural challenges are further compounded by chronic underfunding, which has led to low staff morale, high turnover, and weakened institutional capacity. Rigid hierarchies, limited collaboration across departments, and inadequate accountability mechanisms also hinder adaptability. However, fostering a healthier culture characterized by transparency, teamwork, and motivation could significantly improve KNCHR’s responsiveness and resilience in safeguarding human rights. This study examined the influence of organizational culture on employee performance at KNCHR, emphasising organization values, and organisational communication. With a descriptive research methodology and a census sample approach, the study focused on 120 respondents and was grounded in Schein's Theory of Organisational Culture, Institutional Theory, and Goal-Setting Theory. Questionnaires were used to gather data, and a pilot research with ten individuals from Haki Africa was carried out to assess dependability. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS Version 28, with statistics applied to identify relationships among variables. The findings revealed that organizational communication, and organization values are predictors of employee performance, while teamwork had comparatively less influence. Collectively, these cultural dimensions explained variance in employee performance, underscoring their importance in institutional effectiveness. The study concluded that KNCHR should adopt transparent communication, reinforce organizational values, streamline routines, invest in resources and staff development, and promote collaboration to enhance employee performance and institutional capacity.Item Effect of Crisis Prevention on Organizational Performance in the Insurance Industry in Kenya.

Problem Statement: One of the biggest problems facing today's organization is implementing plans, and most falter during this phase. Implementing a strategy is a crucial step in the strategic management process since it converts a plan of action into a set of actions. While the problem of strategy execution has garnered significant attention, the process by which strategies are converted into organisational results has essentially remained a mystery because strategy implementation has not received the same level of attention as strategic decision-making and planning as many researchers and authors have a bias in favour of the strategy creation process and downplay the importance of strategy implementation within an organization. Consequently, understanding why STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT 29 African Journal of Emerging Issues (AJOEI).
