Abstract

Objective was to examine project leadership and performance of housing projects in Mavoko Machakos and goal was to establish the effects of project funding, and project planning on the performance of housing projects. Results will aid in building the framework for further study and provide a critical analysis of project leadership techniques and housing project performance. Resource-based view, Goal-Setting, and Contingency Theory are the theoretical pillars and descriptive design was adopted with 200 persons as a target group. A sample size of 100 people was chosen using stratified random selection. Questionnaires were used to gather data. A pilot study was conducted using 10 employees who were randomly selected from the target population and SPSS were used to analyze data. Data is presented on the data. The finding showed that the performance of housing projects is significantly influenced by project finance, according to the study, which found that this factor is statistically significant, and project planning significantly affects the performance and study suggests that the national and county governments include stakeholders in their project financing efforts since project finance has a substantial impact on how well housing projects will perform. The performance of housing projects would be improved since the stakeholder's viewpoint would be significant in terms of financers.
