The study aimed at determining the effects of delegation of authority on organisational performance at Twiga Chemical Industries Ltd. The study was guided by four specific objectives, which include: determining the effects of legislative delegation, adjudicative delegation, monitoring and enforcement delegation and agenda setting delegation on performance at Twiga Chemical Industries Ltd. The study adopted a descriptive research design and a correlational research design. The target population in this study was 200 permanent employees of Twiga Chemical Industries Ltd in Nairobi. A stratified sampling technique was used in this study to come up with a desirable sample. Primary data was collected by use of questionnaires and utilised in this study to enhance the originality of the study. The questionnaires were administered to the randomly selected employees who were the respondents. The study used the quantitative method of data analysis. The collected data was edited, coded, keyed in and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. The quantitative data was analysed using both descriptive statistics and correlations. A regression model was then used to show the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. Regression of coefficients results showed that legislative delegation and organisation performance are positively and significantly related at both 1% and 5% confidence level (B=0.284, p=0.032). The results further indicated that adjudicative delegation and organisation performance are positively and significantly related at 1% and 5% confidence level (B=0.319, p=0.011). The results further established that monitoring and enforcement delegation were positively and significantly related at 1% and 5% confidence level (B=0.334, p=.013). Similarly, results showed that agenda setting, delegation and organisation performance were positively and insignificantly related at a 5% confidence level (B=0.094, p=0.455). Based on the findings, the study recommended that organisations and firms should consider the delegation of authority as one way of enhancing organisational performance. The study further recommended that those in authority should be very careful when delegating authority, not to go overboard.
