IJMSSSR
International Journal of Management Studies and Social Science Research (IJMSSSR) is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access bi-monthly journal that publishes empirical, conceptual and review papers of exceptional quality that contribute to enrich business administration thinking .The objective of the Journal is to disseminate knowledge, which ensures good practice of professional management and its focal point is on research and reflections relevant to academicians and practicing managers/Administrators for sustainable business and social changes.
IJMSSSR guides it to map new frontiers in emerging and developing areas in research, industry, and governance as well as to link with centers of excellence worldwide to stimulate young minds for creating knowledge-based community.
Our continued success lies in bringing together and establishing channels of communication between leading policy-makers and prominent experts in industry, commerce, and related business as well as renowned academic, education and research-based institutions to provide solutions for addressing the key issues of the contemporary society.
We see the need for synergy and collaboration between these fields rather than segmentation and isolation. Hence, our objectives are to build new links, networks, and collaborations between communities of thinkers, scholars, managerial experts, and practitioners in order to stimulate and enhance creative and application-oriented solutions for society.
In order to foster and promote innovative thinking in the management studies and social sciences research, itself by introducing its Journal at a global platform in ensuring the high quality and professional research standards.

EFFECT OF STAKEHOLDERS' FOCUS ON THE ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS IN KENYA
|
1 Anthony Kiriinya Mwongera, 2 Dr. Lawrence Odollo, 3 Dr. Thomas Githui DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2026.6201 ABSTRACT: The knowledge, innovation, and socio-economic development of Kenya are heavily dependent on the performance of its research institutions. This study examined the influence of customer focus on the organisational performance of research institutions in Kenya. This study employed a correlational research design. The study targeted 10756 employees in the 48 research institutions. Simple random sampling was used to select 386 employees in the research institutions who formed the sample size. Data collection was done using questionnaires. Data analysis was done with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences software version 25. Both descriptive (frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations) and inferential statistics (regression and correlation) were carried out and results presented using graphs and tables. Descriptive results showed that the respondents agreed that stakeholders’ focus affected the organisational performance of research institutions in Kenya. Regression findings revealed that there was a positive and significant relationship between stakeholders’ focus on organisational performance of research institutions in Kenya. Furthermore, stakeholders' focus was strongly and positively correlated with organisational performance of research institutions in Kenya. The study concluded that stakeholders' focus has a significant positive influence on the organizational performance of research institutions in Kenya.

Research on Power Data Product Business Models in Differentiation Stage |
Qi Shen, Qing Yuan, Ziyuan Xie, Pengyu Quan, Sen Zhang, Xiaobao Yu DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2026.6202 ABSTRACT: Driven by the digital economy and "dual carbon" goals, value extraction from power data has become a pivotal engine for the transformation and upgrading of the energy industry. However, the realization of power data value is not an instantaneous process; instead, it undergoes a differentiated evolution spanning resource utilization, assetization, and capitalization. Based on an analysis of the inherent logic of value evolution for power data products, this paper explores value innovation around the concept of "data temperature" at different developmental stages, and proposes targeted business models and competitive strategies. By examining advanced practices in Guizhou, Jiangsu, Beijing and other regions, the study summarizes the typical characteristics and implementation paths of business models in each stage, and discusses the coordination between business model innovation and policy frameworks. The conclusions aim to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the market-oriented allocation of power data as a key production factor and the healthy development of the industry.

PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCIAL INCENTIVES AND THE PERFORMANCE OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES IN KOGI STATE, NIGERIA |
Dada Durotimi Amos (Ph.D), Enyioko Chilaka Onyekachi (Ph.D), Eniolorunda Ekundayo Toba, Evbota James Edomwonyi (Ph.D) DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2026.6203 ABSTRACT: This study examined the relationship between public sector financial incentives and the performance of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Kogi State, Nigeria. Anchored on the persistent financing constraints and uneven performance of SMEs, the study specifically assessed the level of access to government-provided financial incentives and evaluated their effect on enterprise performance indicators such as revenue growth, profitability, expansion capacity, and operational efficiency. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, with data collected from 420 SME owners and managers selected through a multi-stage sampling technique from a population of 12,500 enterprises. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential tools, including Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis at a 5% significance level. Findings revealed that access to public sector financial incentives is moderate but constrained (𝑋 = 2.95), with limited awareness (𝑋 = 3.20), low application rates (𝑋 = 3.00), and significant bureaucratic barriers affecting accessibility (𝑋 = 2.83). Institutional support (𝑋 = 2.80) and perceived benefits (𝑋 = 2.96) were also weak, indicating structural inefficiencies in programme delivery. However, the study established a statistically significant positive relationship between financial incentives and SME performance. Specifically, financial incentives strongly correlated with revenue growth (r = 0.628, p < 0.01), profitability (r = 0.615, p < 0.01), and expansion capacity (r = 0.601, p < 0.01). The findings suggest that while financial incentives enhance SME performance, their overall impact is limited by access constraints and implementation gaps. The study concludes that improving accessibility, transparency, and institutional support is critical to maximizing the developmental impact of public financial interventions on SMEs.
