Abstract
Poverty levels in Kenya have since independence been on the increase while production rate has been declining tremendously. This is partly attributable to minimum input in economic development by university graduates. This study intends to establish whether, and if so, the reasons why and how the failure by university graduates to gainfully get involved in national economic development has led to high poverty levels as well as low productivity. It is expected that the study will provide some long lasting solutions to the phenomenon that will help boost the rate of development in Kenya thus putting the country in league of rapidly developing countries. The study will apply various methods in collecting and analyzing data
1.4 Hypothesis
Low productivity among university graduates has lead to low high poverty levels in Kenya.
has no ambitions, wants no responsibility and would rather follow than lead is self-centered and therefore does not care about organizational goals Resists change is Gullible for money and not particularly intelligent
Essentially Mac Gregorys theory X assumes that people work only for money and security. The study will strive to establish to what extent at this time in development Kenyas graduates are governed by this theory and how the basics of the theory can be employed by the country to make university graduates more productive.
