Abstract

Performance of roads is about quality that fulfillment of stakeholders needs and organization objectives are met in project completion in its scope. Performance includes the final phases of a project: product acceptance, a final analysis, experience assurance and the final project resolution. Road constructions project are usually the infrastructural projects that take a long period of time to be completed and commanding significant project implementers. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of effective implementation practice on performance of roads in Kisii County, Kenya. The study will be based on general system theory. The study used descriptive design. The target population of 318 respondents were taken under this study. A random stratified selection approach was used to select a sample size of 177 respondents using a formula from the individuals involved in road construction in Kisii County. A questionnaire was utilized to gather data for the research. Pilot study was carried in the neighboring Nyamira County because these two counties share the same geographical location. Descriptive analysis was carried out to analyze the data. Multiple regression analysis models will be used to examine the strength of the relationship between dependent, independent, and moderating variables. The results of the study were presented using tables, graphs and charts. The study would be significant to project management managers and future researchers as it would add new knowledge. The study established that project planning practice has an insignificant negative effect on performance of road project in Kisii County. Implementation practices are not significantly related to project performance in the study area. The study recommends that the road construction companies should establish policies at the company level which should make project planning practices a key component of project management practices.
