ROLE OF EMPLOYEE WELFARE SERVICES ON PERFORMANCE OF THE NATIONAL POLICE SERVICE IN KENYA -DR. MUNENE, CHARLES
Many organizations in Kenya are increasingly providing employee welfare services as a form of improving the productivity of employees at the workplace. However, the police department in Kenya has not been ableto make substantial improvement in the terms and conditions of service, provision of welfare services and security to police officers and their families. Despite this, the police service has to promote the welfare of the society by creating the conditions in which people can live and pursue their own affairs without inter ference. It was on this basis that the study sought to asses s the role of employee welfare services on the performance of the national police service in Kisii central dis trict. The study was based on the functional theory of labour welfare which suggests that welfare can be used to secure, preserve and develop efficiency and product ivity of labour. The study employed a descriptive survey design. The study targeted a population of 382

respondents consisting of 2 top managers, 40 middle -level managers, 40 lower level managers, 200 gener al duty officers, 30 clerical officers, 40 special dut y officers and 30 drivers. Stratified sampling was used to select a sample size of 115 respondents consisting of 1 top manager, 12 middle-level managers, 12 lowe r level managers, 60 general duty officers, 9 clerica l officers, 12 special duty officers and 9 drivers in Kisii Central District. Self administered structured ques tionnaires and interviews were used to collect data . Descriptive statistics such as frequencies, weighte d averages and percentages were used to analyze dat a. The study established that there were no proper system s of employee welfare services in Kisii central distr ict, and those that exist were not properly implemented although they played a major role on the performa nce of the national police service and it therefore posed challenges on service delivery. The paper th erefore recommended for a similar study to be conducted in the national police service in other districts in K enya to compare the findings.
