Project Implementation Factors and Performance of Jua-kali Empowerment Programmes in Nairobi, Kenya

The purpose of the study was to examine how project implementation factors (provision of work-space facility, entrepreneurship training and promotion of products) influence the performance of Jua-kali Empowerment Programmes (JEP) in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study was rooted upon theory of constraints and system theory of organization. Both descriptive and correlational survey designs were used in executing the research inquiry. The targeted population was 327 beneficiaries of the JEP in Nairobi County. Using Krejcie and Morgan formula, a sample of 181 beneficiaries was selected. Both simple random sampling and purposive sampling were used to choose the sample elements. Data was gathered using structured questionnaires and informant interview guide. Descriptive statistics like percentages, arithmetic mean and standard deviation as well as inferential statistics regression analysis was used in data analysis. Pearson correlation analysis was used to test relationship between variables and regression analysis was applied in predicting the research model. The reliability of questionnaires was ascertained by Cronbach Alpha Coefficient of reliability (at 0.6668). Fisher (F) tested the research hypothesis at α=0.05 whereby, R= 0.563, R2= 0.317, F (1,145) =5.192 at P=0.000-0.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected as there was enough evidence to conclude that project implementation factors have significant influence on the performance of Jua-kali Empowerment Programmes. Hence recommendations were made to the implementors of Jua-kali empowerment programmes to ensure that the programmes are not only need based but also implemented in an integrated and coordinated approaches for effective realization of projected deliverables.

The study examined the effects of transformational leadership on employees’ satisfaction, workgroup supportiveness, commitment, and performance at both the individual and at the organizational levels.A survey study was conducted at the Armorp Nigeria Limited, using a sample of 280 employees. The study sought to investigate specifically the mechanism through which transformational leadership influences employee’s commitment to their job schedules as well as to the organization. Six propositions which explained the relationships among the variables in the study were postulated, five accepted and one partially rejected. Pearson correlation, one way analysis of variance, multiple regression analysis and Chi-square were used in the analysis of data. The results suggest that transformational leadership directly affects employee’s satisfaction and commitment to job schedule and to the organization. But, employee’s commitment to their supervisors was not significant as other intervening variables were at work. The regression analysis reveals that the best indicator of employee satisfaction is workgroup supportiveness. The influence of grapevine interactions within the organization, if properly harnessed by a transformational leader directly results in essential mechanism that subsequently leads to employee’s satisfaction, commitment, and increased performance. Monetary incentives if closely tied to motivation might be helpful in creating a more satisfying and productive work environment. This study thus, suggests a new paradigm in which the study of leadership can be based in African setting in order to create effective and viable organizations.
