Abstract
Abstract:Clarity of roles enhances ethical and responsible decision making and helps in prevention of conflict of interest. It’s therefore important that board members have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities as it will have direct influence on the performance of the firm (Maitland, 2004; Ibarra-Colado et al. 2006). Although clarity of roles is very important for the success of an organization, studies on the effect of clarity of roles and responsibilities of the board on performance have not been conclusive as they have revealed that clarity of roles and performance are both positively and negatively linked. The main objective of this study was to ascertain the effect of clarity of roles and responsibilities of the board on performance of public TVET Institutions in Nyanza region, Kenya. The study used correlation research design. Population of the study included the principals, deputy principals and heads of department of TVET Institutions in Nyanza region Kenya who were 99 in number. The study employed a census survey with response at 90.9%. Reliability was measured using cronchbach’s alpha which revealed 0.872 internal consistencies. Correlation analysis revealed that as the size of the coefficients, increases by 1 unit, performance too changes by a magnitude of 0.493. The Pearson Product-Moment correlation coefficient (r = .778) computed indicated that there was high positive correlation between integrity of financial reporting and performance in TVET institutions from Nyanza region. The analysis revealed highly significant (p < 0.05) positive relationship between the two variables. The hypothesis was nullified. Keywords:Clarity,responsibilities,cronchbach’s alpha
