Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of employee’s skills on the performance of cement firms in Kenya.
Design/methodology/approach – Census enquiry was used to get the purposive sample of 120 sectional managers in all the 6 cement firms in Kenya, who filled out the questionnaire. The results were analyzed using descriptive research design, inferential statistical analyses and linear regression tests.
Findings – Correlation analysis established that employee’s skills were positively and significantly correlated with the firm performance.
Originality/value – Skill shortages are often portrayed as a major problem for the economies of many countries. Yet, there is surprisingly little evidence about their prevalence, causes and consequences.
Keywords: McKinsey 7S framework, Employees’ skills, Performance.
