Item Risk Management Strategies and Performance of Selected Road Construction Projects in Kenya(Research Publish Journals, 2025-11-18) Mbogori,Kenneth Njuguna; Mutuku, MorrissonKenya’s road construction sector continues to experience delays, cost overruns, and incomplete projects despite major public investment, with nearly 55% of projects facing significant performance challenges. This study examined how environmental, financial, political, and logistical risk management strategies influence the performance of selected road construction projects in Kenya. Guided by contingency, agency, and stakeholder theories, the study adopted a descriptive research design targeting 90 project managers, using a census approach and semi-structured questionnaires for data collection. Descriptive and inferential analyses revealed that all four risk management dimensions have a positive and significant effect on project performance. The study concludes that integrating environmental considerations at the planning stage, strengthening financial risk controls, prioritizing political risk mitigation, and improving logistical coordination are critical for effective project delivery. It recommends early risk identification, comprehensive mitigation planning, and strong stakeholder engagement to enhance performance outcomes in Kenya’s road construction projects.
