dc.description.abstractKenya's energy sector has generally underperformed, particularly in terms of efficiency and management. Furthermore, statistics show that strategic objectives in the energy sector, such as increasing electricity generation capacity, the goals of improving access to services and information, boosting stakeholder satisfaction, and upgrading technology have not been accomplished, resulting in poor results. This study investigated the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on the organization performance of government entities in Kenya's energy sector. The research was based on resource based view, dynamic capabilities theory and the balanced scorecard. The philosophy used in this study was positivism philosophy. The research design was cross-sectional, including inferential and descriptive analysis. The study's target group included 11 Kenyan state corporations with 887 managers. A sample size of 285 respondents was chosen using a stratified random selection procedure. The respondents were managers in the fields of human resources, accounting, marketing, operations, corporate affairs, procurement, and supply chain management as well as information and communication technology, administration, finance, and business strategy development. To acquire primary data, a semi-structured questionnaire was used. Quantitative data was analyzed and presented using figures and tables, as well as descriptive and inferential statistics. Tables and pie charts were used to convey quantitative data. The findings of the research demonstrated entrepreneurial orientation had a significant effect on performance of state corporations in Kenya's energy sector. The findings of the study contribute to the body of knowledge thereby enriching the formulation of policies and best practices in entrepreneurial orientation. Management of energy state corporations should entrench activities and practices the foster entrepreneurial orientation so as to optimize organizational outcomes. Future researchers should focus on other sectors such as health, education, agriculture, water, and the private sectors considering the use of both financial and non- financial attributes of organization performance.
