ABSTRACT
Strategy institutionalisation involves developing an organisational capability to a point
where it is fully supportive of a new strategy. To attain Vision 2030, the government
recognizes the importance of strategy institutionalisation on organisational
performance. The electricity sub-sector plays an important role in facilitating economic
growth of the country. Statistics, however, show that strategic objectives have not been
achieved thus affecting the performance of state-owned corporations in the electricity
sub-sector. This study investigated the influence of strategy institutionalisation on the
performance of state-owned corporations in the electricity sub-sector in Kenya. The
specific objectives of the study were; determining the influence of systems, leadership
style, and organisational structure and staff skills on the performance of state-owned
corporations in the electricity sub-sector in Kenya and to establish the moderating
influence of corporate culture on the relationship between strategy institutionalisation
and performance of these state-owned corporations. The study was anchored on the
Institutional and Organisational Assessment Model, the Stakeholder theory, the Balance
Scorecard Theory and the McKinsey Seven S's Model. The study’s philosophical
orientation was positivism. To achieve the objectives, the study used a combination of
descriptive and explanatory research designs. A census of seven state-owned
corporations in the electricity sub-sector with a total of 512 management employees was
conducted. The study used mainly Primary data collected using self-administered
questionnaire. Quantitative data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential
statistics. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize data while inferential statistics
applied multiple regression analysis to test hypothesised relationships. Content analysis
was also used for qualitative data. Adjusted R2 was used to measure the amount of
variation in the dependent variable explained by the independent variables. The results
indicated that systems, leadership style, organisational structure and staff skills had a
positive and significant influence on the performance of corporations in the electricity
sub-sector in Kenya. Corporate culture was found to have no moderating influence on
the relationship between strategy institutionalisation and performance of state-owned
corporations in electricity sub-sector in Kenya. Hence, corporate culture was an
explanatory variable. The study concludes that strategy institutionalisation dimensions
have a positive influence on the performance of the state-owned corporations in the
electricity sub-sector in Kenya. The study recommends that chief executive officers
should put in place systems that support implementation initiatives, ensuring that tasks
to be performed are related to the strategy, and recognise and reward progress in
implementation of change. The study suggests that a similar study can be conducted in
other corporations in the Energy Sector to further determine the causal links and also explore the influence of corporate culture as an explanatory variable
