| dc.description.abstract | The strategic planning process provided a structured approach aimed at developing and executing a comprehensive strategic business plan. This study aimed to examine the impact of strategic planning on the implementation of government-funded projects at the Kenya Ports Authority. Specifically, it sought to determine the effects of organizational culture, organizational structure, and corporate leadership on project implementation. Additionally, it investigated the extent to which financial resources influenced the implementation of government-funded projects at the Kenya Ports Authority. The study was grounded in the industrial organization theory, resource-based view, synoptic theory of strategic planning, and systems theory. A descriptive research design was employed, targeting a population of 1,210 management staff at the Kenya Ports Authority's Mombasa headquarters. The Slovin's Formula was applied to determine the sample size, while a stratified random sampling method was employed to select 300 participants from the total population. The study incorporated both primary and secondary sources of data. Semi-structured questionnaires were used for primary data collection, generating quantitative data from closed-ended questions and qualitative data from open-ended questions. Quantitative data underwent analysis employing both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Descriptive statistics involved the examination of data through percentages, mean, and standard deviation, while inferential statistics utilized Pearson’s product moment correlation (r) and multiple regression analysis to assess hypotheses at a 95% confidence level. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Objectives were scrutinized using mean and standard deviation, while the impact of strategic planning on project implementation of government funded project in KPA was analyzed through regression analysis. All independent variables (IVs) demonstrated a statistically significant influence on efficiency. Specifically, Organization Culture (p=0.12), Organization Structure (p=0.001), corporate Leadership (p=0.000), and Financial Resource (p=0.004) were found to significantly impact project implementation. The findings underscored the significant influence of strategic planning on implementation of government funded project in KPA. Consequently, the management of the corporation should strategically leverage both internal and external aspects of strategic planning to substantially enhance project implementation. | |
