Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish the effects of management involvement on implementation of microfinance institution’s projects, with a focus on Kenya Women Microfinance Bank (KWFT). The objectives of the study were to establish the management involvement in microfinance institutions projects; to determine the impact of implementation of projects in microfinance institutions, and to assess the effect of management involvement on implementation of projects in microfinance institutions. The researcher used a descriptive research design. The study focused on various KWFT branches in Nairobi County, with a sample size of 182. Questionnaires and interviews were used for data collection, and the data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 23. The relationship between management involvement and project implementation was analyzed using correlation analysis. The study established that proper leadership is exercised in KWFT (as per 38.2% of the respondents), projects in KWFT are implemented on time (as indicated by 56.6% of the respondents), leadership contributes to timely completion of projects (according to 29.4% of the respondents), and organizational culture and policies affect the relationship between management involvement and implementation of projects to a moderate extent (as per 40.4% of the respondents). Overall, the study found a significant and positive correlation between management involvement and successful implementation of projects. The study recommends the need to increase the level of management involvement in project implementation as this enhances the management’s execution of leadership, communication, and resource allocation.
