| Abstract | The unprecedented rate of dynamism of the global business environment prompts organizations to be strategically oriented in order to neutralize the forces that threaten their performance. Thus performance of TVET institutions in Kenya depends on how swiftly the sectors respond to prevailing and emerging challenges that are inherent in a developing economy such as poverty and matching training of skills with the actual demands of industry and create a deliberate link between TVET and the aspirations of the Vision 2030. In this regard the current study was designed to assess the effect of quality orientation, entrepreneurial orientation and learning orientation on performance of private TIVET institutions in Uasin Gishu County. Specific objectives was informed by configuration theory and resource based theory which has the potential to provide a conceptual guide in maximizing performance of private TIVET institutions. In a bid to effectively achieve these objectives, the study adopted a descriptive survey design based on a target population and sample size of 182 respondents drawn from across 34 private TVET institutions in Uasin Gishu County. Census technique was adopted to select the respondents. Data was collected by use of self-administered structured questionnaires. Data was analyzed by use of both inferential and descriptive statistics using SPSS version 23. From the model summary the results showed that all the two predictors (Quality orientation and Entrepreneurial orientation) jointly explained 48.8% per cent variation on performance of private TIVET institutions. The Beta value for quality orientation (.472) and entrepreneurial orientation (.322), were all positive. This implies that the management of private TIVET institutions should pay high premiums in formulating and implementing strategies in tune with environmental munificence to effectively galvanize their competitiveness and performance. |
