Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of leaders integrity and ethics training on performance of state corporations in Kenya. Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive survey. Target population was composed of 320 employees of Kenya Revenue Authority. The sample size consisted of 175 respondents who were drawn from the senior level management, middle level management and non-management staff all of whom are members of Kenya Revenue Authority. Stratified random sampling was employed in constituting the sample since it enables inclusion of all divisions in the sample. Data was obtained using questionnaires, containing both open ended and closed ended questions. The questionnaires were self-administered and they were first pilot tested for reliability and validity. Statistical package for social sciences was used for data analysis and generation of tables, figures and relationships. Data was analysed by use of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Findings: The study found that leader's integrity and ethics training have a positive and significant relationship with performance of state corporations. Policy Recommendations: Organizations should ensure all their leaders are competent so as to boost their performance. Scholarships and sponsorships should be made available to all staffs
