Abstract: The general objective of the study was to analyze the effect of organizational structure on strategy implementation in non-governmental organizations in Kenya. The study was guided by three theories: The Competency Model Theory; The Resource Based theory and Holistic Strategy Implementation Theory. Descriptive research design was employed to determine the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables and to establish any association between these variables. The study population comprised a total of 36 employees of Land O’Lakes International Development from various organizational functions or divisions. The study adopted a stratified random sampling technique to come up with the required sample since the strata of the employees is homogeneous. The sample of this study was 33 respondents. The study adopted the use of a questionnaire to collect primary data. Questionnaires were self-administered and the researcher dropped the questionnaires personally. The study employed the Drop and pick method to administer the questionnaires. Descriptive statistics was applied to analyze quantitative data in order to generate percentages, means, median, mode, standard deviation and variance of both dependent and independent variables. Correlation analysis was done to establish whether there was correlation between independent variables and the dependent variable. This was achieved through the use of Pearson correlation. Data was presented in the form of frequency distribution tables, graphs and pie charts that facilitate description and explanation of the study findings. The respondents agreed that identifying the activities required to achieve inter-departmental objectives affect strategy implementation.
