Abstract: 

Globally, leadership styles are endorsed as factors that determine the performance of enterprises. Certain approaches to leadership continue to be implemented despite facing widespread disapproval. A performance evaluation of agricultural enterprises in Kenya was conducted to assess the influence of leadership styles and capacity development. The assessment of agricultural enterprises' performance in Kenya encompassed both financial and non-financial indicators. The overarching aim of the research was to assess the influence of different leadership styles and capacity development initiatives on the performance of agricultural enterprises in Kenya. The study was guided by the Systems Theories and Path Goal Theory. The study evaluated the influence of Transformational, Transactional, Democratic and Autocratic leadership styles on the Performance of Agricultural Enterprises in Kenya. The moderating influence of Capacity Development on the relationship between Leadership Styles and the Performance of Agricultural Enterprises in Kenya was assessed. Explanatory sequential mixed methods approach was adopted using cross-sectional survey design to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were gathered using closed-ended questionnaires, while qualitative data were gathered using interview guides and focused group discussion guides. A stratified random sample of 222 leaders and employees was selected from a population of 525 leaders and employees drawn from a census of 105 agricultural enterprises for the quantitative study. Qualitative data drew a sample of 40 participants. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics as provided for in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The overall findings of the study indicate that agricultural enterprises in Kenya perform better under transformational, transactional, and democratic leadership styles but adversely affected by autocratic leadership. The study revealed that the performance of agricultural enterprises in Kenya is significantly moderated by capacity development. The study recommends the implementation of capacity development initiatives by governments, donors and capacity building organizations to enhance the performance of agricultural enterprises in Kenya.
