Abstract
The recent increase in competition and insufficient government financing, as well as the government's increased focus on technical, vocational education training, have had a significant negative impact on higher education's service delivery and performance. This study set out to find out how Kenyan universities perform in relation to their adoption of an accomplishment culture. The study used a descriptive research approach, and its target population included 444 senior university employees from all 74 accredited universities in Kenya. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The relationship between achievement culture and universities’ performance was significant. Vision, missions, goals, core values, and philosophies significantly affected public universities’ performance. Therefore, universities adopted realistic and achievable strategic statements and communicated adequately among staff. The study recommends that managers must support the achievement culture to accomplish the goals set by an organization successfully. Therefore, employees need to be supported by managers by all means alongside training needs and learning opportunities, creativity, and innovation.
