Factors Necessary For The Design Of Good Performance Contracts For State Corporations In Kenya
Abstract
This research sought to determine the extent to which the necessary conditions for
designing and implementing performance contracts were satisfied by State Corporations
in Kenya. To achieve this objective, data were collected through a census survey. The
entire sixteen pilot group State Corporations that signed performance contracts in 2004
v.ere studied. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire with close ended
questions. The questionnaire was administered by mail. Responses were received from
fourteen state corporations giving a response rate of 87.5%,
The findings of the study showed that of the 39 necessary conditions that formed the
variables of study, 46.2% of them were rated highly with mean scores of 4 and above.
The remaining 53.8% of the conditions were rated moderately as necessary with mean
scores of between 3 and 3.9. With regard to the extent to which the conditions were
satisfied by the state corporations in the design and implementation of performance
contracts, it was established that 33.3% of the conditions were satisfied to a large extent,
64.1 % to a moderate extent and 2.6% to a small extent.
Generally, it was observed that not all conditions that were perceived to be necessary for
the design and implementation of performance contracts were satisfied in the design and
implementation of performance contracts by the State Corporations
