| dc.description.abstract | The assumption used for strategy implementation is that if an organization’s actual performance meets or exceeds the goals of an organization’s strategic plan, then that organization has successfully implemented its strategy. The following objectives were identified in this research as the reasons used to influence the implementation practices of Coast Water Works Development Agency’s strategy in relation to organizational performance in Kenya. The resource allocation, organizational structure, organizational culture, and organizational leadership were the objectives for the following. Theories used to guide the study were Resource-based view theory, Management by Objectives, 7-S model of McKinsey, and Goal path theory. 67 senior staff members were targeted demographically to study the implementation of a research design of a descriptive, which will help it achieve its objective. The sample contained 32 participants who made up 48% of the total population. They conducted their pilot study with their measurement instrument as it was implemented to a subset of their sample population, 10 participants, in order to have an idea of how accurate and consistent their instrument is. 'Stratified sampling' was the method used to approach this study. Primary data purchases were made through a structured questionnaire via the help of a ‘5-point Likert scale’. Researchers collected both numbers and written responses with both short answer and multiple option questionnaires. This analysis depended on statistics that allowed us to understand the data from first principles and also created explanations using SPSS software. We opted to use Multiple Regression for analysis. The analysis part of the meeting made use of pie charts, bar graphs and tables. Based on the study, organization structure, organization culture and leadership’s part in managing resources all influenced the results of the Agency. The agency should accordingly be recommended to optimize its resource allocation practice and develop a systematic tool for evaluating and ranking resource requirements. The study also suggested that the agency stay well defined organizationally and encourage a highly defined organizational culture that is consistent with the agency’s mission and values. Effective leadership was also emphasized, and it was recommended that the attention be spent on leadership development programs. The agency is finally advised to evaluate and document strategy implementation used, which includes performance appraisals and operational cost review. Further research was suggested for other possible factors, including stakeholder engagement and technological integration, in the public sector institutions. | |
