Abstract

This study established the effect of governance on project performance: A case of affordable housing projects in Kenya. The specific goals were to determine the effect of stakeholder management, project control, project monitoring and project accountability on project performance. The study used Agency theory and supported by Stakeholder theory. A descriptive research design was employed. The population was 165 project managers, project lead and project team members in charge of the affordable housing projects in Kenya. Stratified sampling method was employed to get the sample. The study sample size was 117 respondents. A semi-structured questionnaire was utilized to obtain primary data. Descriptive statistics like mean, percentages, frequencies, and standard deviation was used to analyse the data. To demonstrate the variables relationship multiple linear regression analysis was used. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 was used. Tables and figures were used to present the data. The study conformed to ethical considerations such participant voluntariness, confidentiality, and anonymity. The study revealed that stakeholder management had a significant and positive relationship with project performance. Project control had a significant and positive association with project performance. Project monitoring had a significant and positive association with project performance. Project accountability had a significant and positive association with project performance. The study recommended monitoring and evaluating the stakeholder engagements in order to make improvement to the available methods used in stakeholder management. Monitoring of stakeholder engagement is essential as it helps in determining whether stakeholder management during the project impacts the project performance positively or whether there is need for review. Project stakeholders may make the best decisions at the right time with the help of timely insights that come from connecting project control with the rest of project management. Project performance and project monitoring had a substantial and favourable link. The study suggested careful project monitoring to assist project managers in gathering important information about how a project is doing and in using the information to make informed decisions. Project success was significantly and favourably correlated with project responsibility. According to the study, accountability should be improved by clearly stating objectives so that project team members are aware of who is in charge of which project components.

肯尼亚经济适用房项目的项目治理和绩效
本研究确立了治理对项目绩效的影响:以肯尼亚经济适用房项目为例。具体目标是确定干系人管理、项目控制、项目监控和项目问责制对项目绩效的影响。本研究采用代理理论,并以利益相关者理论为支撑。采用描述性研究设计。研究对象为165名负责肯尼亚经济适用房项目的项目经理、项目负责人和项目团队成员。采用分层抽样的方法获取样本。该研究的样本量为117名受访者。采用半结构化调查问卷获取原始数据。使用描述性统计数据,如平均值、百分比、频率和标准偏差来分析数据。为了证明变量之间的关系,采用多元线性回归分析。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)第23版。表格和图表被用来展示数据。该研究符合伦理考虑,如参与者自愿、保密和匿名。研究发现,干系人管理与项目绩效之间存在显著的正相关关系。项目控制与项目绩效有显著的正相关关系。项目监测与项目绩效有显著的正相关关系。项目问责制与项目绩效有显著的正相关关系。该研究建议监测和评估利益相关者的参与,以便改进在利益相关者管理中使用的现有方法。监视干系人的参与是必要的,因为它有助于确定项目期间的干系人管理是否对项目绩效产生积极影响,或者是否需要进行审查。项目干系人可以通过将项目控制与项目管理的其余部分联系起来而获得及时的洞察力,从而在正确的时间做出最佳决策。项目执行情况和项目监测之间有着实质性和有利的联系。该研究建议对项目进行仔细的监测,以协助项目经理收集有关项目进展情况的重要信息,并利用这些信息作出明智的决定。项目成功与项目责任显著且有利地相关。根据这项研究,应该通过清楚地说明目标来改善问责制,以便项目团队成员知道谁负责哪个项目组成部分。关键词:利益相关者管理,项目控制,项目监控,项目问责引用:Mwangi, M.
