Item FACTORS INFLUENCING STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION IN NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS IN NAIROBI COUNTY, KENYA(The Strategic Journal of Business & Change Management,, 2021-08) Cheruiyot, S. K.; Mwambia, F.; Baimwera, B.This study established features impacting strategic plan adoption within NGOs based in Kenya. The analysis contributed towards the management and supervision of non-governmental institutions across Kenya; helping them with the formulation and modeling of desirable schedules for identification and resolution of problems hindering implementation of strategic business plans. The resultant effect is an easier path towards the realization of desired results and secures prolonged relevance in a dynamic and complex setting; positioning the institutions well for competition going forward. The analysis employed a descriptive study model and the existing NGOs in Kenya formed the study group. In attaining the appropriate sample size, the Yamane formula was used to reach a sample size of 52 non-governmental organizations from a total size of 702 non-governmental organizations. Collection of data was achieved by the use of questionnaires. Analysis of data employed qualitative and quantitative techniques where Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 21.0) analyzed descriptive statistics like percentages and frequency. The result indicated that collectively organization communication has the highest positive influence on strategic plan implementation, followed by organization culture, organization leadership and organization structure. Individual significance of the predictor variables was tested using t-test. The findings revealed that organization communication, organization culture, organization leadership and organization structure were individually statistically significantly related to strategic plan implementation p-value<0.05. The study concluded that, predictors individually and collectively influence execution of strategies. The findings were expected to be of value to the management and decision makers to form a basis for improving implementation of strategies. Furthermore, studies can be done to other variables which influence implementation of strategic plans but were not considered in this study or the same variables to different populations, locations and other sectors of economy in Kenya.Item Relationship between open membership policy and loan performance in selected SACCOS in Meru county, Kenya(The Strategic Journal of Business & Change Management., 2020-10) F. M., Chokera; Baimwera, B.; Muriuki, M.The purpose of the study was therefore to examine the relationship between open membership policy and loan performance in selected SACCO’s in Meru County. The research objectives were to establish how financial risk contributes to loan performance in selected SACCOs in Meru County, to establish how repayment period contribute to loan performance in selected SACCOs in Meru County, to determine how loan security policy contributes to loan performance in selected SACCOs in Meru County and to determine how loan processing period contributes to loan performance in selected SACCOs in Meru County. The theories underpinning the study were agency theory, asymmetric information theory and loanable fund theory. The study adopted a descriptive research design and primary data was collected from the respondents while secondary data was retrieved from the published data. The researcher used questionnaire as the data collection instrument. The population of the study was seventy nine respondents from the selected SACCO’s in Meru County. The study adopted a census where all the elements in the population were examined. A pilot study was conducted to establish the validity and reliability of the research instruments. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS and further explained using descriptive statistics to enhance understanding thereafter presented in descriptive tables. Multiple linear regression was used to test the relationship between the variables in the study. The study established that all the open membership policies including Financial Risk Policy, Loan Repayment Period, Loan Security Requirement and Loan Processing Period when regressed severally against loan performance have significant effect. Joint regression of all the open membership policies with loan performance revealed that only Loan Processing Period failed to have a significant effect on loan performance. The study therefore concluded that all the four variables had a significant relationship with the dependent variable and further recommended that SACCOs should put an emphasis on all the variables in the study among other factors to aid in the improvement of loan performance while at the same time having policies that enhance the performance of loans in the SACCOs.
