Muriithi, Joel; Wamiori, Dr. Gladys Micere
Integrated Financial management information systems (IFMIS) is the computerization of
public expenditure management processes including budget formulation, budget execution,
and accounting with the help of a fully integrated system for financial management of central
government ministries, county governments and other spending agencies. The general
objective of this study was to establish the effect of IFMIS on financial performance of
County governments in Kenya. The specific objectives were to determine how integrated
budgeting system, procurement information system, reporting information system and
revenue collection information system affects financial performance of County Governments.
The target population of the study included 208 employees of Coastal County Government
and a sample of 137 employees taken to be a representative of all employees in Coastal
Kenya who use IFMIS. Descriptive survey was used to collect both primary and secondary
data. Structured questionnaires were distributed targeting 137 Coastal Kenya County
Government employees. The data collected was analyzed with the help of Statistical Package
for Social Scientists (SPSS) version 21. Descriptive analysis was done using frequency
distributions, percentages, mean and standard deviation to summarize results on individual
variables. Inferential analysis was done using correlation and multiple regression models in
order to establish the linear relationships between one or more variables and to test the
significance of the relationships between the dependent and independent variables. The
results were presented in tables and inferences drawn at 95% level of confidence. Results
showed that there was a strong positive correlation between use of integrated budgeting
system and financial performance of County Governments. Results showed that there was a
strong positive correlation between use of procurement information system and financial
performance of County Governments. Results showed that there was a strong positive
correlation between use of reporting information system and financial performance of County
Governments. Results showed that there was a strong positive correlation between use of
revenue collection information system and financial performance of County Governments. It
was concluded that integrated budgeting system improves credibility and confidence of the
budget by ensuring that it is detailed and transparent with all the financial reports adequately
prepared. Procurement information system enhanced procurement process that ultimately led
to efficiencies in resource utilization. Reporting information system improved expenditure
management and control. Finally, it was concluded that revenue collection information
system ensured transparency and accountability of collected county revenue. It was
recommended that the county management should always embrace IFMIS in budgeting
process. In order to improve the procurement process within county level there is need to continually embrace procurement information system. In order to enhance financial reporting
process within county, there is need to encourage compliance on policies governing the
system. The county governments should ensure that the revenue collection information
system is well integrated and efficient so as to increase the revenue collection as this was
found to work better than old revenue collection methods.

Thiong’o, Paul Kiama; Kilungu, Matata; Kamau, Charles Guandaru
Loans comprise the single largest asset for commercial banks. To grow the bank's
assets, bank managers focus on increasing the number of loans granted by the bank.
The general objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of growth in loan portfolios
on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study used a
regression research design. The population of interest consisted of the 44 commercial
banks in Kenya. A sample of 31 commercial banks was selected. The study covered a
five-year period, from 2011 to 2015. Multiple-linear regression was also used in the
analysis. The study found that growth in loan portfolios had a negative effect on the
financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The effect of loan growth on the
financial performance of commercial banks in subsequent years was found to be
adverse. This study found that the quality of bank assets had a positive effect on the
financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. However, the effect of liquidity
management was not significant. The study found that capital adequacy had a positive
effect on the financial performance of commercial banks. The effect of capital adequacy
was significant. The study concluded that growth in a bank’s loan portfolio had a
negative and significant effect on the financial performance of commercial banks. The
study recommended that commercial banks should strategically execute their loan
portfolio growth strategies so as to minimize the problem of loan losses in subsequent
years

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT OF PART-TIME ACADEMIC STAFF IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN NAIROBI AND MOMBASA CITIES IN KENYA
Kilungu, M
Past studies provide evidence to show that organizational commitment has been a topic of
increasing public and professional concern, both inside and outside Human Resource
Management domains. The expansion of university education in Kenya coupled with reduced
direct government funding for higher education has left the local public universities with little
choices but to resort to use of part-time academics. The objective of the study was to find out
whether personal characteristics affect organizational commitment of part-time academic
staff in HEIs in Kenya. The quantitative study design by use of survey was used for the study.
The sampling frame was developed through capture-recature method. The sampling
technique used was muti-stage consisting of sevral stages of stratified and simple random
sampling and time-location sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires from 227 parttime academic staff from selected HEIs in Nairobi and Mombasa cities in Kenya, with a
response rate of 85%; and also using interviews with 12 academic heads of departments
representing 63% response rate. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive and
inferential statistics. The relationship between variables was analysed using Spearman’s Rho
correlation analysis while the test of factors predicting independent variable was done
through stepwise regression analysis. The results show that age is a negative predictor of
affective commitment while sibling status and ages of children are positive predictors of the
same, ages of children is a predictor of all the 3 dimensions of commitment. The study
recommndents that education managers in HEIs should make deliberate attempts to develop
and implement explicit policies relating to the management of part-time academic staff. It
also recommends that line managers and human resource managers should focus more on age
and family responsibilities among many other previously used criteria in the recruitment of
part-time academic faculty.

Damaris, Gesare; Mukulu, Elegwa; Josphat, Kwasira
The desire for excellent service delivery under the new public sector management mandate in
Kenya and the importance of performance management in enabling organizations achieve a
competitive advantage and maximize the potential for service delivery cannot be underestimated.
The demand from the citizens for efficient services necessitates that state corporations in Kenya
device performance measures that will enhance service delivery. Critique of existing literature on
the use of performance management initiatives reveals that gaps exist on performance management
initiatives and their influence on service delivery in State Corporations in Kenya. The study,
therefore, was guided by HR audit as a performance management initiative and its influence on
service delivery in State Corporations in Kenya. The study applied descriptive survey research
design to gather data from the sampled respondents of the state corporations. Stratified random
sampling was applied to select respondents from the State Corporations to participate in the study.
Information was gathered by use of questionnaires which were subjected to pre-test to ensure both
validity and reliability of the instruments. Data analysis was done using both descriptive and
inferential statistics. The study found that HR audit has a positive influence on service delivery
among state corporations in Kenya. The study recommended that state corporations in Kenya to
adopt HR audits because they positively and significantly influence service delivery.
