The recent increase in competition and insufficient government financing, as well as the government's increased focus on technical, vocational education training, have had a significant negative impact on higher education's service delivery and performance. The study sought to determine the effect of role culture implementation approach on university performance in Kenya. The study used a descriptive research approach, and its target population included 444 senior university employees from all 74 accredited universities in Kenya. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that clan culture influenced universities’ performance by 11.9% (R square value of 0.119). The correlation value of (r=0.071, p<0.05) showed the relationship between clan culture and universities’ performance significant. The chi-square value of χ2 (5) = 23.704, p=0.041 further established a significant relationship between clan culture and universities’ performance. Clan culture was significantly associated with research output, satisfactory university ranking, student placement by KUCCPS, and graduation rate. Managers must support the clan culture to accomplish the goals set by an organization successfully. Therefore, employees need to be supported by managers by all means alongside training needs and learning opportunities, creativity, and innovation.
