Abstract : Numerous organizations grapple with technology choices to bolster efficiency and elevate employee performance for market competitiveness. The dearth of comprehensive data on specific technologies implemented and their integration within Kisumu County Government poses a knowledge gap. The absence of a holistic understanding of how technology types are integrated across departments impedes effective decision- making for technology adoption in the Kisumu County Government. This study aimed to assess the impact of technological infrastructure adoption on employee performance among the workforce in Kisumu County Government. The significance of this study lies in its illumination of the critical relationship between technology adoption and employee performance within the Kisumu County Government, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding technology integration and its impact on organizational efficiency. Justification stems from the current dearth of comprehensive data on specific technologies implemented and their effects within governmental settings, highlighting the pressing need for empirical evidence to guide strategic technological advancements for enhanced workforce productivity. Guided by resource-based theory, the hypothesis centered on the positive relationship between technology adoption factors and employee performance. Employing a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design, the study surveyed 375 respondents using a structured questionnaire. The census sampling method ensured a comprehensive sample representation. The study revealed significant insights: technological adoption accounted for a notable 36.1% variance in employee performance (R square = 0.361, F(1, 367) = 68.885, p < .05). Notably, technological infrastructure positively impacted employee performance (B=.490, p<.05.The implications of these findings are substantial. The study concluded that technological infrastructure positively influences employee performance. It was however recommended that Kisumu County invests more in infrastructure to enhance employee performance. The study recommends expanding similar research to other counties, exploring technological infrastructure's influence on organizational performance Its revelations underline the significance of technological infrastructure in bolstering employee performance, prompting avenues for further exploration and informed decision-making within organizational settings.
