Abstract

This study investigated the effects of top management commitment on the performance of supply chain functions in Turkana County. A descriptive research design was used for this study, with quantitative data being collected. The target population consisted of 137 respondents, including 10 Chief Officers, 18 County Public Service Board members, 41 County Executive Committee members, and 52 Directors in Turkana County Government offices. The sample size for this study was 102 respondents, and a structured questionnaire was developed and administered to the relevant departmental heads within the supply chain functions of the Turkana County Government. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations were used to describe the data collected from the survey, while inferential statistics such as regression analysis and correlation analysis were used to test the hypotheses. Tables, graphs, and charts were used to present the data, enhancing clarity and ease of understanding. The findings of the study were presented in a comprehensive report. The study's hypotheses were examined by utilizing Pearson's Correlation Coefficient to determine the importance of the connections between the dependent and independent variables. The findings indicated a substantial and positive correlation between top management commitment and the effectiveness of supply chain operations in Turkana County. The study recommended that the county government should prioritize top management commitment to supply chain functions.
