Abstract

This study established the influence of adhocracy culture on performance of public universities in western Kenya. The study was guided by dynamic capabilities theory. The study targeted 226 respondents comprising of 27 top management, 86 deans of schools, 9 in charge strategic department, 95 senior assistant administrators and 9 students’ president in all the nine universities in western Kenya. Stratified random sampling was used in selecting a sample size of 144 respondents. Primary data was collected with the help of questionnaires. Pilot study was done in Moi universities. Reliability was tested using Cronbach’s alpha and validity was tested using experts and factor analysis. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics comprised of mean, standard error and standard deviation. Results showed that adhocracy culture strategy had a positive and significant influence on performance of public Universities in western Kenya. Western Kenya Universities and other public institutions would benefit from this study since it highlighted the key adhocracy culture initiatives essential to their top performance, survival, and growth. Higher education institutions will find significant value in using this information as a guide when making decisions on strategic management. It was therefore concluded that adoption of adhocracy culture strategy improves performance of public Universities. The study recommended that university management should motivate employees to use their creativity and to proactively seek out new ideas.

民主文化对肯尼亚西部公立大学绩效的影响
本研究确立了民主文化对肯尼亚西部公立大学绩效的影响。本研究以动态能力理论为指导。该研究针对226名受访者,包括27名高层管理人员、86名学院院长、9名负责战略部门的负责人、95名高级助理行政人员和9名学生主席,他们来自肯尼亚西部的所有9所大学。采用分层随机抽样的方法,选取144名调查对象。主要数据是通过问卷调查收集的。在莫伊大学进行了试点研究。信度采用Cronbach’s alpha检验,效度采用专家分析和因子分析检验。数据分析使用描述性和推断性统计。描述性统计包括平均值、标准误差和标准差。结果表明,民主文化战略对肯尼亚西部公立大学的绩效有显著的正向影响。西肯尼亚大学和其他公共机构将从这项研究中受益,因为它强调了对他们的最佳表现、生存和发展至关重要的关键的民主文化倡议。高等教育机构将发现在制定战略管理决策时使用这些信息作为指导的重要价值。因此,采用民主文化战略可以提高公立大学的绩效。该研究建议,大学管理层应该激励员工发挥他们的创造力,积极寻求新的想法。关键词:组织文化,适应性,员工授权引用:mchaaizi, V., Okwemba, E., &;Otsyula, J.(2023)。民主文化对肯尼亚西部公立大学绩效的影响。商业战略杂志;管理学报,2010(4),326 - 340。http://dx.doi.org/10.61426/sjbcm.v10i4.2753。
