    Risk Management Policy Implementation and Organizational Performance among Quality Infrastructure State Corporations in Kenya
    (Kenyatta University, 2025) Nyamwaya, Walter Manyibe
    Quality infrastructure state corporations, which are responsible for ensuring standards and regulations in various sectors, face a myriad of risks that adversely affect their operational efficiency and service delivery. Despite the critical role these organizations play in promoting quality and safety, many have struggled to implement comprehensive risk management policies that adequately address the complexities of their operational environments. This research aimed to examine the impact of risk management policies on the performance of Quality Infrastructure State Corporations in Kenya. To fill the existing gap on the relationship between organizational performance of Quality Infrastructure State Corporations and the application of the Risk Management Policy's standards, the study set out to achieve the following objectives: To evaluate the effect of oversight on organizational performance among QI State Corporations in Kenya. To assess the effect of implementation of Institutional framework requirements on performance of QI State Corporations in Kenya. To determine the effect of Governance on performance of QI State Corporations in Kenya. To ascertain the effect of fraud prevention mechanisms on performance of QI State Corporations in Kenya. The literature review drew from empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, and conceptual models. A descriptive research design was employed, targeting around 250 employees at different levels, including senior and middle management as well as operational staff, at the main offices of Quality Infrastructure State Corporations in Nairobi County. From this population, a sample consisting of 75 employees, or 30% of the total, was selected using simple random sampling. Data collection was carried out using a semi-structured questionnaire. Before data collection commenced, the reliability of the questionnaire was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and a preliminary study, while its validity was confirmed with input from supervisory experts. Data collected was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistical analysis included method of analyzing and summarizing data such as tables and graphs. The data analyzed was presented through frequency table. The inferential statistics was done to examine relationships between risk management policies and performance of Quality Infrastructure State Corporations. The results revealed a strong positive correlation (Rvalue of 0.729) between the implementation of risk management policies (independent variables) and organizational performance (dependent variables). This finding implies that effective risk management policies significantly improve the performance of Quality Infrastructure State Corporations. The significance level (p-value) of 0.002 further indicates that this relationship is statistically significant; as this p-value is below the conventional threshold of 0.05, we can conclude that the implementation of risk management policies notably impacts organizational performance. The research concludes that the effective implementation of risk management policies is crucial for the performance of Quality Infrastructure State Corporations in Kenya. It also recommends that the national government allocate sufficient resources to develop strong risk management systems, which should encompass training personnel, acquiring technology, and conducting regular audits for policy compliance. Additionally, it highlights the importance of enhancing the capabilities of oversight institutions, such as the Auditor General and the Public Procurement Oversight Authority, to ensure effective monitoring and enforcement of these policies.

    (International Academic Journal of Arts and Humanities, 2025-03) Nyamwaya, Walter Manyibe; Minja, David
    This research investigated the effect of implementation of the risk management policy on performance of Quality Infrastructure of State Corporations in Kenya. The study sought to meet the following objectives: to evaluate the effect of implementation of Risk Management oversight regime on performance and the effect of implementation of institutional Risk Management framework requirements on performance of Quality Infrastructure State Corporations in Kenya; to determine the effect of implementation of Risk Management Governance on performance of Quality Infrastructure State Corporations in Kenya. The literature review concentrated on studies that are based on facts, the theoretical and conceptual models, and frameworks. The descriptive research design was employed. The group of interest was around 250 employees, including those in senior management, middle management, and operational roles at the main offices of Quality Infrastructure State Corporations located in Nairobi County. A sample size of 75 employees, representing 30% of the total group were selected through simple random sampling. To gather data, a semi-structured questionnaire was utilized. Before collecting the data, the questionnaire was piloted and a test for reliability was assessed. A Cronbach’s alpha level of … was attained. Secondly the instrument’s validity was tested using the supervisor’s expertise. Authorization was sought from the NACOSTI. The significance level (pvalue) of 0.002 confirms that the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable is statistically significant. Since the p-value is lower than the conventional threshold of 0.05, it is concluded that risk management policy implementation significantly influences the performance of quality infrastructure State Corporations. The study concludes that risk management policy implementation significantly affects the performance of quality infrastructure State Corporations in Kenya. The study concludes that an effective risk management oversight regime is essential for enhancing the performance of quality infrastructure State Corporations in Kenya. The study recommended that national government should allocate adequate resources to support the establishment of risk management systems, including the training of personnel, acquisition of technology, and regular audits to ensure compliance with these policies. Strengthening the capacity of oversight institutions, such as the Auditor General and Public Procurement Oversight Authority, is also critical to ensure these policies are effectively monitored and enforced.
