Abstract

The purpose of this study was to empirically investigate the relationship between strategic agility and the performance of accredited universities in Kenya. To test the hypothesis, a cross-sectional dataset was gathered through a questionnaire from 78 accredited universities. Strategic agility was operationalized using four dimensions: strategic sensitivity, collective commitment, resource fluidity, and partnership. Organizational performance was assessed through five indicators:
customer perspective, funding perspective, internal business processes, learning and growth, and social performance, based on prior empirical research. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. The empirical findings revealed that strategic agility significantly and positively influences organizational performance, highlighting its critical role in enhancing university effectiveness.
