dc.description.abstract | Purpose: Government-sponsored Youth Empowerment organisations
(GSYEOs) are designed to skill, prepare, and empower the youths
toward poverty eradication, formal employment, and self-reliance.
However, poverty and unemployment among the youths in Kenya seem
to be on an onward trajectory, and yet scarce research has been
conducted on the influence of strategic direction on the performance of
GSYEOs. This study examines the influence of strategic direction and
the performance of GSYEOs in Kenya, which is anchored on strategic
leadership theory and measured using the Balance Score Card
framework.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A descriptive research design was
utilized and a random sample of five GSYEOs with a total population
of 1089 employees was adopted, and a sample of 109 was derived.
Correlation analysis results show that strategic leadership and
organisational performance were positively and significantly correlated
(r=0.661; P-value <0.05). Results from simple linear regression showed
that 43.6% was a good fit for the organisational performance (R squared
=0.436, R= 0.661).
Implications/Originality/Value: The study recommends that
GSYEO’s leadership encourage strategic direction implementation
through adequate budget allocation. | en_US |
