    (IJIRAS, 2024-03) Rono, Erick Kipchumba; Muchemi, Anne Wambui
    This study sets out to determine the effect of knowledge sharing and performance of deposit taking SACCOs in Laikipia County, Kenya. The study adopted both descriptive and explanatory research designs. A total of 45 registered DT-SACCOs in Laikipia County were targeted. A population of 135 branch managers, operations managers, and credit managers from the 45 registered DT-SACCOs in Laikipia County were targeted. A sample size of 135 respondents was purposively and randomly sampled. Questionnaires were the data collection tools where drop and pick later approach was used. Content validity was ensured by discussing the questions in the questionnaire with the supervisor while a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.7 or above was regarded sufficient to quantify the reliability of the data collection tool. Descriptive analysis was done while inferential statistics involved linear regression. The correlation results showed a positive and significant linear correlation between knowledge sharing (r=0.478, p=0.000) and performance of DT-SACCOs. The regression results show a positive and significant effect of knowledge sharing (β = 0.058, Sig. = 0.000) on performance of knowledge sharing which implies that knowledge sharing affects performance of DT-SACCOs positively. Though the knowledge sharing components are interrelated and have effect on the performance of DTSACCOs, knowledge sharing weighs more on the influence. Therefore, the study recommends that organizations should continuously work towards attaining knowledge sharing because it affects institutional capital, the volume and number non-performing loans, growth rate for total deposits and growth rate of net loans of DT-SACCOs.
