Influence of Professionalism on Organisational Performance of Christian Organisations Research Advisory Trust of Africa (Corat Africa), Kenya

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of professionalism on the organisational performance of the Christian Organizations Research Advisory Trust of Africa (CORAT), Kenya. The study employed a descriptive design. The study population comprised 60 CORAT Africa employees. The study employed the census approach, which entailed involving all members of the target population in the information-gathering course. A structured questionnaire was used and subjected to a pilot study to determine its validity and reliability. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to conduct the study, and tables were used to display the findings of the descriptive analysis. The independent variable on the dependent variable impact was examined using a regression model. The findings showed that professionalism had a positive correlation with organisational performance (r=0.669). Additionally, the linear regression test showed that professionalism had a statistically significant influence on organisational performance. The study recommends that CORAT Africa should foster a culture of professionalism and provide platforms for knowledge sharing, creating mentorship programs, and establishing a system of fair and consistent consequences for violating professional standards within the organisation. The study will function as a theoretical framework for future research in the area and is expected to provide critical insights into the non-profit sector with the goal of creating empowering environments and providing proactive assistance to improve organisational performance.
