The objectives of the study were: to examine the performance of the Reservists; to identify the challenges affecting the performanceof the Reservists; and to come up with appropriate measures to address these challenges. In order to analyze and address the problem three organizational theories namely Open Systems theory, Theory of Bureaucracy and Contingency theory were reviewed. The Theory of Bureaucracy was considered the most relevant for the study. The study used survey design to collect data from the Reservists. The study population comprised 358 Reservists, with a corresponding sample size of 188. Stratified and simple random sampling techniques were used to select the Reservists. Primary data was collected using questionnaires, interviews and FGDs, while secondary data was collected through thematic review of secondary materials. Primary data was analyzed using frequencies and percentages with the aid of STATA statistical program, while secondary data was analyzed using thematic method. The study established that all the Reservists were male, majority aged between 35 and 44 years, at primary level of education, married and poor.

Poverty and low literacy level were seen as a threat to performance.
