INFLUENCE OF REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS ON STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION IN GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONS OF KENYA. (CASE STUDY OF NATIONAL LAND COMMISSION)

Abstract

The general objective of the study was to assess the influence of regulatory frameworks on strategy implementation in Government Commissions of Kenya. The study laid focus on the National Land Commission. The study adopted a cross sectional survey descriptive research design. The target population of the study comprised all the employees at the national headquarters of the Land Commission of Kenya which totalled to 447 respondents. The study used purposive sampling technique in conjunction with simple random sampling technique to select the sample for the study. The study used questionnaires for data collection and these were self-administered to the respondents. Data analysis was performed with the help of SPSS software version 21.0. Findings from the study revealed that policy framework had a positive statistically significant influence on strategy implementation. This therefore meant that, an increase in policy framework by 1 unit, increased strategy implementation by 0.005 units. The co-efficient for contextual framework had a p-value of 0.028. This was less than 0.05, leading to the conclusion that, contextual framework had a statistically significant effect on strategy implementation in government commissions. The results implied that increase in contextual framework by 1 unit decreased strategy implementation by 0.077 units. Finally, the co-efficient for institutional framework had a p-value of 0.232. This is more than 0.05 hence the conclusion that institutional framework had a statistically positive significant effect on strategy implementation in government commissions. The regression co-efficient was positive at 0.037 indicating a positive relationship between institutional framework and strategy implementation. The implication of this is that, for every 1 unit increase in institutional framework, there would be a corresponding increment in strategy implementation by 0.037 units. The study recommended for inclusivity of members when formulating and implementing strategies, upholding professionalism and professional ethics together with emphasising on compliance of organizational policies to bolster the implementation of their strategies. The researcher gave recommendations for further studies to be carried out the parastatals and other private entities that were equally affected by regulatory frameworks
