| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of strategy implementation on performance of road construction projects by Kenya National Highways Authority. The objectives of the study were to investigate the effect of organizational culture; organizational communication and human resources on the performance of road construction projects. The study was supported by the Okumus’s theory of strategy implementation and resource-based view theory. The case study targeted a population of 91 employees of KeNHA in Nairobi from which a sample of 74 participants were selected through a stratified random sampling technique. Questionnaires were used to collect data, both qualitative and quantitative. Cronbach’s alpha method (Cronbach, 1951), was used to determine the reliability of the research instrument and it yielded a score of +0.761. The study found evidence of a positive significant influence of organizational culture on the performance of road construction projects. Evidence showed significant effect of culture on performance of road construction (β = 0.200, p <0.5). There was also significant effect of communication on performance of road construction projects (β = 0.652, p < 0.5). The study also found significant effect of human resource on performance of road construction projects (β = 0.432, p < 0.5). All the null hypotheses (HOI, HO2, and HO3) of the study were rejected since there was evidence of positive significance, which led to the conclusion that strategy implementation, influences the performance of road construction projects. Thus, the success of road construction projects is to a large extent predicated on performance of strategy implementation indicators in an organization. The study recommended that the Kenya National Highways Authority should ensure that organizational culture, organizational communication and human resource are embedded in the organization’s strategy implementation to improve performance of road construction projects. The study will be significant to the management of Kenya National Highways Authority and the government of Kenya as well as contribute to the existing body of knowledge and help future scholars who will endeavor to undertake a study on performance in road construction. | en |
