Abstract: Leadership wrangles and corruption have negatively affected the performance of various firms in Kenya. This has led to losses in Kenya Airways. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the influence of intellectual stimulation on the performance of Kenya Airways. The research design used in this study is a descriptive research method. The study target population was Kenya Airways Limited and the respondents were the employees of Kenya Airways. The respondents were sampled using proportionate sampling method and selected using simple random sampling technique. Open and closed structured questionnaires were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics were used in analyzing quantitative data. In addition, multiple regressions were used in establishing the relationships between variables. The inspired drive to produce a positive and significant change in Kenya Airways performance was 0.478 units in the presence of one unit of increased intellectual stimulation while keeping all other factors constant. The impact of intellectual stimulation on employee productivity shows that the company management provides an environment for innovation, employees' creativity is encouraged by top management and employees are able to make independent decisions. The study recommended that in order to enhance intellectual stimulation, company management should provide an environment conducive to innovation, encourage employee creativity, and allow employees to make independent decisions to improve performance, empower employees, and educate employees.
