| dc.description.abstract | Financial performance is a crucial indicator of an organization's productivity and effectiveness, reflecting its ability to use resources to generate wealth, profits, and returns for stakeholders. Various factors influence financial performance, including resource utilization, employee productivity, and organizational leadership. This study aimed to identify and examine the impact of organizational factors—such as organizational structure, corporate governance, human resource capacity, and capital structure decisions—on the financial performance of KTDA factories in the Kisii Highlands Region. The study's objective was to collect and analyze data on these organizational factors to understand their relationship with the financial performance of the sampled KTDA factories. A quantitative research method was employed, and a census of 36 respondents was conducted. The study relied exclusively on primary data gathered through questionnaires distributed to participants. To determine the relationship between each organizational factor and the financial performance of tea factories, regression analysis was conducted using SPSS software. The findings revealed that most respondents viewed the organizational structures of the tea factories as highly hierarchical, occasionally hindering and negatively impacting decision- making processes. All respondents affirmed that the tea factories had codes of ethics guiding interactions between shareholders and the institutions, ensuring harmonious relationships. However, they also noted instances of strained internal relations, attributing these to the shortcomings of the current codes of ethics. The study suggested that organizations should aim to maintain streamlined organizational structures to reduce operational costs and improve efficiency. For the tea factories, granting them autonomy from the KTDA parent company could significantly strengthen their positions by relieving them of obligations to the parent organization. | |
