This study was guided by 4 objectives namely: to evaluate the effect of inbound logistics outsourcing, outbound Logistics, Logistics Outsourcing and third Party Logistics Outsourcing on performance of state corporations in Kenya. Based on this, the current study is anchored on transaction cost economics theory, resource based view, SCOR model and the Principal Agent theory. To satisfy the objectives, descriptive research design was adopted. The study population was 152 state corporations in Kenya. A total of 64 state corporations were randomly sampled. Primary data was collected from the Head of procurement and operations managers of state corporations using structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0 with the main analysis tools being frequencies, mean and standard deviation and multivariate linear regression.

The study recommends the state corporations in Kenya to ensure there are offloading facilities. There is also need for state Corporations to train their staff on handling delicate inputs.
