Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of social competencies on firm performance among companies publicly quoted on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. A corresponding hypothesis was formulated and tested. The target population consisted of Human resource managers of each of the 61 companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange as of 2021 and 34 of them responded. The research philosophy adopted by the study was positivism and a descriptive survey design was employed. Statistical package for Social Sciences, Version 25 was used to analyze data using linear regression analysis. Research findings from the test of hypothesis established that social competencies have positive and significant effect on firm performance. The study finding supports the Resource-Based View and Knowledge Space Theory which underscore the crucial part played by social competencies in firm performance. The study recommends further investigation of the study variables in companies not listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange.
