摘要:The study sought to determine effects of human resource related factors, affecting the implementation of strategic plans in local authorities in Kenya with a view on the Municipal council of Eldoret strategic plan. The study adopted a descriptive research design on a sample of 254 respondents who were selected through purposive, stratified and snowball sampling from a target population of 836 employees. Data collection was done by the use of questionnaires and interview schedules and the data analyzed by the aid of Statistical Package of Social Scientists Program (SPSS). The findings were summarized using statistical measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion and asymmetry. Data was presented using tables. Based on the study findings it was concluded that human resource related factors such as inadequate employee training, inadequate information, and inadequate employee participation in decision making and implementation of the strategic plan and limited number of employees posed challenges on the implementation of the Municipal Council of Eldoret strategic plan. The study recommended that the Municipal council of Eldoret should train its employees on issues focusing on strategic plans, provide its employees with adequate information about her strategic plan , involve its employees in decision making, allocate enough funds, recruit enough expertise, review its management strategies, provide adequate technical resources and a friendly working environment.
