This calls for a reexamination of organizational leadership and its response to the increasing competitive world. It also implies that organizations need to introduce robust organizational communication between leaders and subordinates in an institutionally supported and coherent package combined with high reliance on technology-based systems. The objective of this study was therefore to determine the influence of organizational leadership on organizational learning among private universities in Kenya. The study reviewed the theories of organizational learning focusing mainly on the human capital theory, contingency theory, and institution theory as well the empirical literature relevant to the study. The study adopted descriptive research design using both quantitative and qualitative approaches because it ensures complete description of the situation, making sure that there is minimum bias in the collection of data. The target population for the study was obtained from 18 private charted Universities authorized to offer higher education in Kenya, through purposive sampling. The sample population was made up of a total of 180 respondents, comprising 10 participants in the rank of senior managers from each of the 18 chartered Kenyan Private Universities. Data was collected through interview schedules and drop and pick questionnaires and analysed with the aid of descriptive and inferential statistics. A response of 87% was obtained. Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis was carried out to ascertain the extent of the relationship between the variables.

Previous researchers have identified firm’s characteristics that influence the firm’s ability to perform. The identified characteristics include firm size, age, reputation and legitimacy. A firm’s characteristics could be described through reference to resources the firm owns and by the organization’s objectives. Previous researches examined the factors influencing CEO compensation revealed a lack of consensus to the explanation of increases in CEO’S compensation. While most of the studies confirm linkages between organizational performance and CEO compensation, they measured organizational performance using financial indicators of performance, this study investigates the link between firm size and CEOs compensation. The study’s population constituted 40 firms listed at the NSE. A mixed design was adopted in the study. Primary data was gathered to capture the opinion of board members on firm size characteristics that determine levels of CEO’S compensation using semi structured questionnaire. Secondary sources of data were used to gather information on financial performance from the financial statement of the listed organizations for 2016-2017 financial periods. Descriptive statistics, correlations, linear, multiple and stepwise regression were applied in analyzing and interpreting the data that was collected. The research revealed that there was significant and positive relationship between firm size and CEOs compensation.

{"title":"The Mediating Role of Strategy Execution on the Relationship Between TMT Characteristics and Organizational Performance in a Regulatory Setting in Kenya","authors":"J. O. Oketch, J. Kilika, G. Kinyua","doi":"10.11648/J.JBED.20210601.12","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11648/J.JBED.20210601.12","url":null,"abstract":"There is consensus among strategic management scholars and practitioners that strategic management as a practice has a vital role in organizational performance. It has also been argued that the strategic management process can be divided into four broad stages namely, strategy formulation, strategy execution, strategy monitoring and strategy evaluation. Some strategic management scholars have asserted that the strategy execution process can make a sound strategic decision ineffective or a debatable strategic choice successful. The specific objective of the study was to establish the mediating effect of strategy execution on the relationship between top management team characteristics and organizational performance of independent regulatory agencies in Kenya. The study embraced descriptive cross-sectional research design. The target population of the study was all the twenty-three independent regulatory agencies currently existing in Kenya. The study adopted a census survey of all the top management team members in all the twenty-three independent regulatory agencies in order to capture the required information due to the uniqueness of each independent regulatory agency and the distinct roles played by each top management team member in their organizations. Structured questionnaire administered through drop and pick later method was used to gather primary data from the respondents. Descriptive statistics of the respondents was summarized into percentages, frequencies, means and standard deviations for interpretation. The mediation effect was tested using the Baron and Kenny model. The findings of the study showed that strategy execution partially mediates the relationship between TMT characteristics and Organizational Performance of the independent regulatory agencies in Kenya. The study recommends that independent regulatory agencies need to develop a reward system for their TMTs who excel in executing their organizational strategies so that they can be motivated, and to provide an opportunity for the managers to compete amongst themselves in order to achieve superior organizational performance. Lastly, the study recommends that the independent regulatory agencies should have stable funding mechanism to enable them execute their identified strategies in order to achieve and sustain superior organizational performance.","PeriodicalId":189819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business and Economic Development","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115729670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The econometric analysis used the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimator over the period from 1996 to 2015. The results of the estimates show that in the WAEMU zone, the quality of institutions has a positive and significant effect on all types of tax revenues except for trade tax revenue. These results are robust because they do not change according to the different indicators used to measure the quality of institutions. Furthermore, overall, GDP per capita positively and significantly affects total and indirect domestic tax revenue, while it has a negative effect on direct tax revenue. Trade openness has a positive and significant effect on all types of tax revenues, except for indirect domestic tax revenue. The share of agriculture has a positive and significant effect on all types of revenue except trade tax revenue. Inflation has a negative and significant effect on all types of tax revenues. The share of natural resources and the size of the informal sector show mixed results.","PeriodicalId":189819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business and Economic Development","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131310850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Portfolio management is a medium by which the banks hold investment due from other banks, purchase Government securities and invest in subsidiaries. This paper investigates the effect of banks’ portfolio management on profitability. Five commercial banks that are listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange were randomly selected for the study. Data on the total market value of Government securities, investment in subsidiaries and due from other banks were collected from the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Stock Exchange between 2008 and 2017. As panel study, we regress portfolio management on profitability. The findings show that holding of government securities and investing in subsidiaries have a significant positive effect on the profitability of banks in Ghana. The findings also show that non-performing loans have a significant negative effect on the profitability of the banks. Therefore, it is recommended that banks should develop a balance between holding government securities and investing in subsidiaries to improve upon its profitability. The banks should also double their efforts to reduce their non-performing loans by enhancing the skills of its officers, strengthening its due diligence procedures and intensify monitoring activities.","PeriodicalId":189819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business and Economic Development","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116299171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
