Abstract:

Kenyan university students have performed relatively poorly compared to their counterparts in Australia and the United Kingdom when it has come to International sports participations. Could this be attributed to the personnel handling sports at the Kenyan Universities? This study went out to look at the perceptions of the students participating in sports at public and private universities in Kenya. Further, the study went out to look at the qualifications and quantification of personnel in both private and public universities in Kenya. The study used a descriptive research design. A questionna

Abstract:

University administrators, academic staff and students are key agents of internationalisation of higher education, particularly at the institutional level. The growing volume of literature on internationalisation has looked at the role that these stakeholders play. However, few studies in Kenya have examined these stakeholders’ conception of the internationalisation process. The current study explored Kenyan universities’ understanding of the process of internationalisation and how their perceptions influenced the provision of quality academic programmes.

Public universities play a critical role through academic empowerment of the citizens and actively participating in knowledge dissemination and research in society. However, despite being the centers of knowledge creation and development, one of the significant challenges facing public universities in Kenya is financial sustainability.

Abstract:

Public universities in Kenya are under both moral and legal obligations to perform three important functions, which are providing excellent teaching, research, and community outreach. These functions are important because if they are well performed, the country will realise its vision for 2030. However, the performance of public universities in Kenya is still far below expectations based on both global and regional comparisons. The study, therefore, is intended to determine if the performance problem in the universities can be solved by the organisational resources; hence, the objective of the

Abstract:

Libraries are competing with all the departments in their universities for resource allocation, even as universities continue to experience reduction of funding from the government every year. In addition, many public university libraries in Kenya lack strategic plans to offer direction as they are said to be difficult to develop, expensive exercise for the organizations and time consuming. The purpose of the study was to investigate the existence of strategic plans in public university libraries in Kenya. The study used descriptive survey research design and mixed method approach.

Abstract:

This article discusses the transformation of the higher education financing model and how this relates to the concept of higher education as a public good in the context of Kenya. Following independence in 1963, the new Kenya government – like most countries in sub-Saharan Africa that attained independence in this period – considered the establishment of a university to be one of the symbols of a republic and of national advancement. The government valued the public role of university education during this early phase of Kenya as a sovereign nation, even when access remained highly restricted.

Abstract:

Product innovation research is seen as an enabler of organizational performance. In spite of this perspective, not much research is being done on product innovation in academic contexts. This study sought out to investigate how product advancements impacted Kenya's public universities' performance. The resource-based theory and the balanced scorecard methodology were both applied in this study. A cross-sectional study methodology was employed. The target participants in this study were the 31 public universities in Kenya. The sample frame for this investigation included 10 public universities.

<strong>Abstract:</strong> This paper examines how research carried out in Kenyan Universities is safeguarded and disseminated. It highlights the challenges of sharing research information by the faculty in different universities in Kenya. Often, research in universities is contained and controlled within the individual universities with little sharing to the public outside the given universities. The problem is aggravated by the fact that few universities have repository centres and even where such exist the data is not in open access (OA), thus reducing exposure of the research to the world

Intrapreneurship is critical for public universities as it helps the universities obtain a competitive advantage. For intrapreneurship to thrive, it should be inculcated in the public university culture, mission, obligations and goals. Studies posit that management support, reward systems, social relationships, knowledge-sharing and work discretion spur intrapreneurial activities in an organisation. It is against this backdrop that this study sought to establish the mediating effect of organisational support on the relationship between intrapreneurial strategies and the performance of public u
