Monitoring continues to maintain popularity as the strategic management process that enhances the performance of public and private organizations across the globe. The current study sought to assess the effect of monitoring on the performance of the Parliamentary Service Commission, Kenya. To achieve the study objective, the study targeted a sample of 71 employees/staff currently working at the Parliamentary Service Commission offices situated in Nairobi. The study adopted a descriptive research design and sought to identify the characteristics of monitoring executed at the Parliamentary Service Commission and its effect on performance. Data collected was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24 program. Linear regression model was used to establish the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable and the strength upon which the independent variables affect the dependent variable. Effective monitoring was found to have a positive and strong correlation with performance (r=0.551; p=0.025). A statistically significant relationship was found between monitoring and performance of the Parliamentary Service Commission (p=0.00; p<0.05); this led to rejection of the null hypothesis. It was recommended that the government should put in place strict and objective measures of monitoring to continuously improve the performance of the Parliamentary Service Commission of Kenya.
