Abstract
Numerous extant studies linking strategic planning and organizational performance
abound, but non- focused on the effect of human capital participation in such relationship
and in the Kenya's banking industry context. Thus a study towards determining the
nature of relationship between the three constructs among Kenyan banks is thoughtful.
The purpose of this study therefore, is to examine the influence of strategic planning and
human capital participation on organization performance in Kenya's commercial banks.
The study is guided by the following specific objectives: Establish the relationship
between strategy formulation and performance of Kenya's commercial banks, establish
the relationship between strategy implementation and performance of Kenya's
commercial banks, to ascertain the effects of control systems on performance of Kenya's
commercial banks, to investigate the effects of leadership and management participation
and involvement in the strategic planning process on performance of commercial banks
in Kenya, and to investigate the effects of employee participation and involvement in the
strategic planning process on performance of commercial banks in Kenya. In this study
descriptive and correlation study design shall be used as the framework for the collection
and analysis of data. The population of the study will comprise all 43 commercial banks
in Kenya. Census method will be used because Kenyan banks are in different stages of
development and exhibit high level of diversity in aspects such as ownership and
leadership. The researcher will use a questionnaire as a primary data collection
instrument. Data analysis will be done using SPSS software and Microsoft Excel. Data
for this study is quantitative hence descriptive statistics and inferential statistics shall be
