PROJECT MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND PERFORMANCE OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN TRANS NZOIA COUNTY, KENYA
Abstract
The study examined the influence of Project Management Information Systems and performance of road construction projects in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya. The study focused on four specific objectives: to assess the influence of supply chain integration and performance of road construction projects in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya; and to determine the influence of electronic procurement and performance of road construction projects in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya. The study was pegged on Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The research relied on structured questionnaires in the data collection processusing a descriptive research design. The total target population for the study was 93 respondents. The research instrument was piloted to West Pokot County. The reliability of the research instrument was completed using Cronbach alpha. Constructs were tested for validity using the content validity index. Data collected was coded, keyed in the computer and analyzed with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS version 29). The findings showed that the research instrument passed both the reliability and validity tests. Inferential statistics and descriptive statistics were utilized in data analysis. The study also relied on frequencies, mean and standard deviation in presenting descriptive results. The inferential statistics used were correlation analysis, regression analysis and analysis of variances. The study employed the F-test in predicting the dependent variable which indicated that the model significantly predicted how the independent variables affected the dependent variable (performance of road construction projects in in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya). The study further made recommendations on each of the variables for management consideration in future decision making processes. The findings were of great importance to policy makers, existing literature in project management, future scholars and more specifically, management of road construction projects in Trans Nzoia County and other counties in Kenya and globally.
Key Words: Supply Chain Integration, Electronic Procurement, Road Construction
