Abstract
Globally, researches assert that most educational institutions have strategic plans, but few
implement them. This research sought to establish determinants of strategy implementation in Technical
institutes which offer technical skills using Mombasa County, Kenya. The objectives of this study were:
determine the association between f human resources and technology and strategy implementation. The study
used resource-based view theory and Okumu’s implementation framework of assessing the relevant issues in the
study. Mixed methods research design was used with a sequential exploratory design. The target population of
218 included the principals, chairpersons and trainers in the 6 registered technical institutes in Mombasa
County. Data was collected from a sample size of 148 respondents using interviews and questionnaires. The
analysis of qualitative data followed thematic and subject coding to evaluate the responses that participants
offered in the interviews. Quantitative analysis involved both descriptive summaries and multiple regression
analysis for checking relations between variables. The findings established that the general rating of the
capacity of human resource and technology towards strategy implementation was generally moderate. Karl
Pearson correlation coefficient obtained indicated that there was a strong association between human resource
and strategy implementation and between technology and strategy implementation. This showed that indeed
human resource and technology influences strategy implementation process. Hypothesis test done indicated
there is significant association between human resource, technology and strategy implementation in public
technical training institutions in Mombasa County. The study further recommended that the management should
subject staff to frequent trainings on strategy implementation process to increase on the effectiveness of the
implementation process. In addition, technology used in the institutions should be up to date and relevant as far
as strategy implementation process is concerned. Moreover, there should be frequent maintenance and updating
of the available ICT equipment while at the same time making them easily available to the staff
