Published: October 2020

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of comprehensive strategic decision-making and long-term orientation on the organizational performance of dairy co-operatives in Kenya.Methodology: The study adopted the positivist research philosophy and descriptive correlational research design. The population of the study consisted of 198 executive directors/managers of active dairy co-operatives in eight counties in the Mt. Kenya region. A sample size of 184 was drawn using stratified random sampling, and data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. The data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency, mean, and standard deviation. Additionally, inferential data analysis methods of Pearson’s correlation, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression were used to test the hypotheses.Results: The multiple linear regression results indicated that long-term orientation significantly predicted revenue per customer, b = 9.85, t(141) = 3.35, p <.05 and product innovation, b = 1.56, t(141) = 1.43, p < .05. It was also found that revenue per customer explained 49.7% of the variance, (R2 = .497, F(5, 125) = 13.27, p < .05, while ROA explained 29.4 %, (R2 = .294, F(5, 123) = 9.06, p < .05. Product innovation explained 41.2% of the variance, (R2 = 0.412, F(9, 120) = 9.35, p < .05. In relation to the moderating variable, the regression results revealed that market orientation significantly predicted revenue per customer, b = 1.64, t(141) = 7.66, p < .05; ROA, b = 2.14, t(141) = 3.35, p < .05; and product innovation, b =1.89, t(141) = .53, p < .05. It was also found that revenue per customer explained 49.7% of the variance, (R2 = .497, F(5, 125) =13.27, p < .05, while ROA explained 29.4 %, and product innovation explained 41.2%. However, the results showed that market orientation did not significantly moderate the relationship between corporate governance and organizational performance. Comprehensive strategic decision-making was not significant in explaining revenue per customer, ROA, and product innovation.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: While previous studies on corporate governance of co-operatives have relied largely on agency theory and shareholder wealth maximization, this study was based on stewardship theory to show its effect on the organizational performance of dairy co-operatives. The inclusion of market orientation as a moderating variable is of great interest to academia in establishing a better link between corporate governance of co-operatives and similar agricultural enterprises, and their performance. The co-operative sector, other social enterprises and the government of Kenya will benefit from this study as its results can help identify the areas for governance policy development as well as regulatory legislation needed by the sector so as to improve dairy farming for the farmers and the national economy as a whole.

The data was presented through tables, charts and graphs. Results: The study revealed that green recruitment and selection, green HR performance management, green training & development and green pay and reward recorded a positive and significant relationship with organizational effectiveness of Universities in Kenya. It is against this back drop that study concluded that during recruitment and selection, the management seeks to employ and recruit staff and personnel that are conversant and ready to apply their skills and expertise to better the ecological surrounding. It was also concluded that the employees recruited are not only left on their own to work out the plan, but are also coached and trained on their specific matters and issues that relate to the environment. The study concluded that motivation of the staff is instrumental as seen from the study findings, it had a higher relationship compared to the other variables. However, the reward system was not that adequate and satisfactory which was evident by delayed rewards/compensations towards the met green standards to the employees and unclear promotional framework.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study therefore, recommends that the Universities need to be diverse and timely in their motivational strategies as well as meet their compensation obligations towards the employees. Finally, the study recommends initiation of green stakeholders’ involvement initiatives to help in improving the environment, employee health and safety as well as enlargement of the pool of knowledgeable employees and supervisors. These initiatives need to focus on all-inclusivity that is, the management, employees, the community and the natural environment for better societal development.
