Abstract

This study sought to establish the effect of selected management practices on the execution of strategic plans by Vocational Training Centres in Kiambu County. A total of 92 respondents consisting of heads of the institutions, their deputies, board members and instructors from 37 centres were targeted for interview. Data was collected using a self-administered structured
questionnaire. Data was analysed using multiple linear regression at 95 percent confidence level (level of significance, α = 0.05). The results of the study suggest that there is a statistically significant relationship between management practices and strategic plans execution among Vocational Training Centres in Kiambu County in Kenya. The management of these institutions are however urged to emphasize more on employee empowerment and planning aspects of their management practices in order to enhance the institutions’ strategic plans execution.
