The purpose of the study is to establish the effect of resource allocation on institutional performance. The study specifically sought to analyze the effect of resource allocation on organizational performance. The study employed a descriptive survey design and used a structured questionnaire to gather data from both the management and employees of the Kenya Meat Commission. The target population constituted a total of 301 employees, out of which a sample size of 169 employees was selected using both simple and stratified random sampling methods. The reliability and validity of the instruments were tested to ensure that they were appropriate for use in the data collection. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in analyzing the data. The results were presented using tables and charts, and interpretation was done based on the findings. The findings showed that resource allocation had an effect on the performance of the Kenya Meat Commission, as indicated by the majority of the respondents who agreed with most of the statements. The findings further indicated that there was a statistically significant relationship between resource allocation and the performance of the Kenya Meat Commission (R =.533a; R2 =.284; Adj. R2 =.257; F (6,162) =10.702; t = 12.403; P-value =.000). This implies that KMC needs to place more emphasis on how to effectively allocate and manage their resources in order to enhance their decision-making process and hence improve institutional performance. The null hypothesis that resource allocation has no statistically significant effect on institutional performance was rejected. The study concluded that resource allocation was an important component in enhancing the performance of KMC. The state corporations, through their management, should ensure effective ways of allocating resources so as to put them on board with enhancing firm performance.

Key words: Resource allocation, institutional performance, Kenya Meat Commission, state corporations
