Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine
the critical performance factors influencing
public projects implementation in TIVET
institutions in Nairobi County, Kenya.
Specifically, the study sought to examine the
influence of project planning, project
feasibility, government support and project
monitoring and control on public projects
implementation in TIVET institutions in
Nairobi County, Kenya. This study used
descriptive research design and simple
random sampling technique to obtain 126
respondents from 18 public and TVETA
accredited institutions consisting of the
principals, heads of departments and
sections. A structured questionnaire was
used to collect the relevant information from
the respondents. Qualitative analysis was
used to analyze qualitative data while
inferential and descriptive statistics were
used to analyze the quantitative data.
Descriptive statistics included mean,
standard deviation, frequency and
percentages. In relation to inferential
statistics, the study used correlation and
regression analysis to establish the
relationship between the independent and
the dependent variables. The study
concluded that there is a positive
relationship between project planning,
project feasibility, government support and
project monitoring and successful public
project implementation. Thus, every added
unit in the four variables will result into an
increase in successful public project
implementation. This means that the four
predictor variables are useful for predicting
the successful implementation of public
projects in TIVET institutions. The study
recommended that TIVET institutitions
should ensure that all tasks relating to public
projects are properly planned and scheduled
to appropriately inform the project
financing. The administration of TIVET
institutions should ensure that all public
projects in their institutions are designed
along clear, broad, flexible and favourable
legal framework and environment for
success. Project monitoring and control
should be periodic to ensure timely
availability of reports of all the significant
project milestones and also coordinate the
internal monitoring and evaluation of the
supply chain function in respect to the
project being undertaken.
