Validity of this tool was determined using expert judgment and CVI. Reliability of the tool was determined using Cronbach Alpha Coefficient and a mini-survey. Data was analysed using SPSS version 25 and Med-Graph. Results were presented using frequency tables and inferential statistics. The study found a positive relationship between Strategy and Firm Performance. Also, this study obtained a positive Relationship between Organisational Structure and Firm Performance. It was established that Resource Allocation is positively correlated with Firm Performance. Strategy, Organisational Structure and Resource Allocation were significant predictors of Firm Performance. This research found that Strategy was the most significant predictor. Resource Allocation was a partial mediator in the relationship between Strategy and Firm Performance and a full mediator in the relationship between organisational Structure and Firm Performance.
