However, performance in Teachers Service Commission has suffered decline occasioned by non-achievement of set targets and inefficiencies, non-compliances to the policy guidelines, noncompliance to the service charter and slow process of automation of core function. An attempt to enhance performance of employees of Teachers Service Commission birthed reforms that encompassed interventions such as performance management practices. While significant evidence of performance management practice and performance at various organisational levels has been registered in literature across contexts, such evidence is scant and remains anecdotal in the context of institution like Teachers Service Commission in Kenya.
