REIMAGINING HUMAN RESOURCES IN MODERN CONDITIONS: INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL AS A MODERATOR OF VALUE-BASED LEADERSHIP AND PERFORMANCE OF COUNTY GOVERNMENTS IN KENYA

Various studies have examined different aspects of organisational values, such as value-based leadership behaviours, ethical leadership, and the impact of these values on employee performance and governance. However, there is little research evidence on the aspects of the roles of intellectual capital and employee attitudes in influencing the performance. Moreover, the concept of the role of values-based leadership in influencing performance has also received inadequate research attention. Many scholars have previously focused on a number of variables and how they influence performance but with more focus on individual employee performance at the expense of the impact of value based leadership on overall organisational performance. Moreover, in Kenya, since the advent of devolution in 2013, a number of management scholars have studied performance but with little focus on the link between value-based leadership and its influence on the performance of County Governments in Kenya. This study set out to examine three issues around the overall objective of the influence of value based leadership on performance of County Governments in Kenya.
