Performance Contracts have been used in many enterprises in the world. Performance contract was introduced by the Government of Kenya to ensure delivery of quality service to the public as well tertiary institutions also known as TIVET institutions. The purpose of this study was to carryout assessment on the effects of financial resources on the implementation of performance contract in Tertiary institutions in Meru County. The specific objectives of the study were: to determine the effects of financial resources on implementation of performance contract in tertiary institutions in Meru County andto establish the effect of structures on implementation of performance contract in tertiary institutions in Meru County. The study adopted a survey research design and stratified sampling technique was used to draw a sample size of 63 from a population of 76 employees of tertiary institutions in Meru County. Data was collected using a questionnaire and the interviews. Data analysis was done using SPSS software; correlation coefficients were used to determine the nature of the relationship between the dependent variable and independent variables. Chi-square analysis will be done to test significance of variables. The findings were presented in tables and figures. The study of the findings were considered important for gathering information for managerial policy decision making that enabled the managers understand the positive approaches towards performance contracting as a management tool for improving performance in tertiary learning institutions which has continuous benefits to the long-term development. The findings of this study were; financial resources affected implementation of performance contract in tertiary institutions to a very great extent. Also there is a significant relationship between financial resource and implementation of performance contract in tertiary institutions to a very great extent {r(63) = 0. 78, p <0.05}. There is a strong positive relationship between structure of PC and implementation of performance contract {r(63) = 0.63,p <0.05}. Based on the findings the study recommended that the Government should release financial resources in good time to enable the officers implement performance contracting. This will help them to meet their targets in good time and the institutions should continually monitor and evaluate the managers so as to ensure that they follow the correct performance contracting procedures.
