The Influence of leadership support on project performance in health facilities funded by county governments in the North Rift, Kenya
Main Article Content
Abstract
Health facility projects in the North Rift, Kenya, often suffer from delays, poor implementation, and inefficient resource use despite the devolved funding system. The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of leadership support on project performance in health facilities funded by the county government in the North Rift, Kenya. The specific objective was to investigate the influence of leadership support on project performance in health facilities funded by the county government in the North Rift, Kenya. The study, guided by transformational leadership theories, used a mixed-methods design. Slovin’s formula was used to obtain a sample of 164 respondents from a population of 282. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression, with results presented in tables and graphs for clarity. The study revealed that leadership support showed a strong correlation (r = .830; p = .000) and a moderate but significant effect (β = .167; p = .049). The study recommended enhancing leadership capacity to improve project performance. Further research was suggested to determine the influence of leadership support on project performance in other public sectors, such as education, water, or infrastructure, to identify cross-sectoral lessons.
