Abstract
Despite the existence of strategic plans in public Technical and Vocational Education
training institutions in Kenya, there seems to be a problem in the implementation
process. This study therefore sought to investigate the influence of employees’
perception on strategic plan implementation in public Technical and Vocational
Education training institutions (TVET) within Rift valley region, Kenya. The study was
guided by the following hypothesis: Ho: There is no statistically significant difference
between employee’s perception and strategy implementation in public TVET within
Rift valley region, Kenya. Change Management theory supported the specific objectives
of the study. The study adopted descriptive survey research design using both
qualitative and quantitative approach. The target population was 1255 employees in
selected public TVET institutions; while a sample size of two hundred ninety four (294)
respondents was drawn using purposive and stratified random sampling. Primary data
were collected using questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using both descriptive
and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that employees perception based on
their level of management and implementation of strategic plan were strongly
positively related and significant. It accounted for 94.5% of the total variations in
strategic plan implementation. The findings are expected to be of value to the
management and decision makers to form a basis for improving implementation of
strategic plans in higher education. The study revealed that there was a diversity in
opinion between the top management and lower management on strategic plan
implementation and thus calls for special attention to all employees so as to ensure
successful implementation.
