"How to create effective table banking financial institution is a big challenge. Table banking refers toa wide range of activities, usually in a business context, for promoting team performance. Team building is pursued via a variety of practices, and can range from simple bonding exercisesto complex simulations and multi-day team building retreats designed to develop a team (including group assessment and group-dynamic recreation), usually falling somewhere in between. It generally sits within the theory and practice of organizational development, but can also be applied to sports teams, school groups, and other contexts. Team building is not to be confused with "team recreation" that consists of activities for teams thatare strictly recreational. Teambuilding is an important factor inany environment, its focus is to specialize in bringing out the best in a team to ensure self development, positive

communication, leadership skills and the ability to work closely together as a team to problem solve.

1.2 Statement of the problemTable banking is useful. Some exercises are designed for smaller teams, some for larger teams. Some are designed for new teams, others to focus on specific areas of an established team to be worked on. In addition to this, team building exercises also are for different age groups. In addition to this, some team buildingexercises are intended primarily for a specific age group. It is possible that some team building activities designed for younger teams being misused with more mature groups has contributed to the negative1.3 Purpose of the study The Purpose of the study was to find out the role of table banking in promoting of small scale business.1.3.1 Objectives of the study The specific objectives of the study was to find out the role of table banking in promoting small scale business  The objectives of this include:i.To find out how table banking improves small scale business at KWFT ii.To establish the role of table banking in promoting organizational performance at KWFT iii.To investigate the various challenges facing KWFT in table banking in promoting small scale business.1.4 Research QuestionsThe Research Questions Were:

CHAPTER TWO2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW2.1 INTRODUCTION2.2.1 Table bankingAccording to Martin , (2001) Table banking refers to techniques, processes and tools for organizing and coordinating a group of individuals working towards a common goal—i.e. a team. Several well-known approaches to table banking have come out of academic work. While the activities of table banking are not new, many of the tools used by team managers are; the more Organizational Development-oriented practitioners often use interview-based analysis and provide reportage and insights that team leaders andtheir management may use to adapt team practices for higher performance. Teams can also be developed through team building activities which can also be used simply to build relationships where team members lack cohesion due to organizational structure or physical distance. Project managers may approach table bankingwith a focus on structure, communications and standardized practices. (Martin, 2001)According to Ream (2008) with the growing need to integrate the efforts of teams composed of members from different companies andgeographies, organizations are increasingly turning to a new class of Internet software for table banking. These tools combineplanning and collaboration with features that provides a structure for team relationships and behaviors. In addition, there are tools that facilitate the forming of highly productive

teams through analysis of personality and skills profiles.

Teamwork Roles in Table BankingTeamwork is work performed by a team. The quality of teamwork maybe measured by analyzing the effectiveness of the collaboration in the following ways.CommunicationCoordinationBalance of contributionsMutual supportEffortCohesionAccounting techniques may be used to provide financial measures of the benefits of teamwork which are useful for justifying the concept in a business setting. In healthcare, teamwork has been defined as:"a dynamic process involving two or more healthcare professionals with complementarybackgrounds and skills, sharing common health goals and exercising concerted physical and mental effort in assessing, planning, or evaluating patient care." Teamwork is increasingly advocated by healthcare policy makers asa means of assuring quality and safety in the delivery of services.

2.2.2 Team work and team building essentialsAccording to Boone, (2005) Team building skills are critical for your effectiveness as a manager or entrepreneur. And even if you are not in a management or leadership role yet, better understanding of team work can make you a more effective employeeand give you an extra edge in your corporate office. A team building success is when your team can accomplish something much bigger and work more effectively than a group of the same individuals working on their own. You have a strong synergy of individual contributions. But there are two critical factors in building a high performance team. According to Amason, (1996) the first factor in team effectiveness is the diversity of skills and personalities. When

people use their strengths in full, but can compensate for each other's weaknesses. When different personality types balance and complement each other. The other critical element of team work success is that all the team efforts are directed towards the same clear goals, the team goals. This relies heavily on good communication in the team and the harmony in member relationships. In real life, team work success rarely happens by itself, withoutfocused team building efforts and activities. There is simply toomuch space for problems. For example, different personalities, instead of complementing and balancing each other, may build up conflicts. Or even worse, some people with similar personalities may start fighting for authority and dominance in certain areas of expertise. Even if the team goals are clear and accepted by everyone, there may be no team commitment to the group goals or no consensus on the means of achieving those goals: individuals in the team just follow their personal opinions and move in conflicting directions. There may be a lack of trust and opennessthat blocks the critical communication and leads to loss of coordination in the individual efforts. This is why every team needs a good leader who is able to deal with all such team work issues. According to Boeker, (1997) when managing teams, make sure there are no blocked lines of communications and you and your people are kept fully informed. Even when your team is spread over different locations, you can still maintain effective team communication. Virtual teams: Benefits and challenges Virtual teams as a great way to bring together people who are not sharingthe same office. Team building is one of the main strategies employed by KWFT to bring together different people with common goal, finance them and give them opportunities of coming up with small businesses that will help in the self economic growth and country’s economic growth

2.2.6 Significance for Team Building in table bankingAccording to McDougall, (2004) Reasons for Team Building includei.Promoting communication

ii.Making the workplace more enjoyableiii.Motivating a teamiv.Getting to know each otherv.Getting everyone "onto the same page", including goal settingvi.Teaching the team self-regulation strategiesvii.Helping participants to learn more about themselves (strengths and weaknesses)viii.Identifying and utilizing the strengths of team membersix.Promoting team productivityx.Practicing effective collaboration with team members2.3 Critical Review According to Simpson and Shapiro (1987) Team interaction involves"soft" interpersonal skills including communication, negotiation,leadership, and motivation - in contrast to technical skills directly involved with the job at hand. Depending on the type of team building, the novel tasks can encourage or specifically teach interpersonal team skills to increase team performance. Team building generally sits within the theory and practice of organizational development. The related field of table banking refers to techniques, processes and tools for organizing and coordinating a team towards a common goal - as well as the inhibitors to teamwork and ways to remove, mitigate or overcome them. Several well-known approaches to table banking have come out of academic work. The forming-storming-norming-performing model posits four stages of new team development to reach high performance. Some team activities are designed to speed up (or improve) this process in the safe team development environment. Belbin Team Types can be assessed to gain insight into an individual's natural behavioral tendencies in a team context, andcan be used to create and develop better functioning teams. He however did not give an elaborate scope on the Roles of table banking of organizational performance.It is important to define downsizing in order to study its impacton performance. Freeman and Cameron (1993) stress the need for definitional clarity in downsizing research. They argue that downsizing should not be confused with organizational decline, non adaptation or growth in reverse. There is also confusion in the literature on the terms down scoping and downsizing. Down scoping involves reducing the portfolio of businesses, usually

through divestitures, while downsizing refers to employee reduction. Down scoping may or may not involve down scoping i.e.,employee reduction. Similarly, downsizing may or may not involve down scoping. Here, we are interested in the downsizing constructas a strategy that is purposefully undertaken to improve organizations' efficiency and/or effectiveness. Cascio (1993) has defined downsizing as "the planned eliminationof positions or jobs" define downsizing as a systematic reductionof a workforce. In this study, downsizing has been defined as employee reduction consistent with prior researchers. Managers should implement SMWTs with procedural and distributive justice. Also, managers should address concerns regarding trust, and accountability. They should provide clarity regarding who is responsible for what and how the employees’ careers and opportunities for development will be affected. Managers should work to encourage employees having a positive organizational outlook. He however did not give an elaborated scope on the Rolesof table banking in effective organizational performance.

CHAPTER THREE3.0 RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOLOGY3.1 INTRODUCTIONThis chapter consists of the methodology and procedure that was used to acquire and analyze data. The key issues that entered into this chapter are the research design, target population, data collection instruments, data collection procedures, validityand reliability of the research instruments and data collection procedure and finally data Analysis.

3.2Research design The researcher adopted a case study design. A Case study is descriptive survey individual, the phenomenon or institution. Theprimary purpose of case study was to determine the Roles of tablebanking on organization selected a case study since it studies anin- depth of a single entity in or to get insight into larger cases. It also describes and explains father than to predict.(Mugenda and Mugenda 2003)

3.2 Target Population The researcher targeted a population of 50 KWFT employees as shown in Table 3.1

questionnaires to the employees. The Researcher undertook a priorvisit to familiarize the study environment informing the relevantauthorities including company. A set of questions will be formulated and administered to the respondents. Open and closed – ended questions was used because it helps in eliciting views from the respondent. Data collection process was administered prior visit that assisted in timing of the questionnaires. The researcher agreed with the respondents when the researcher collected research instruments since they specified the date of collecting the questionnaires.

 3.6 Reliability and Validity of Research InstrumentsAccording to Mugenda and Mugenda (1999) Validity is the accuracy and         meaningfulness of inference. This is based on the research results it is also the degree to which results obtained from the analysis of the data actually represents the phenomenon under study. The researcher discussed the research instruments with the supervisor; the advice they gave will contribute the researcher instrument to be valid. Secondly, the researched will conduct piloting study to familiarize her self to the environmentand the degree to which research instruments yields consented results or data after repeated trials. In testing reliability, errors are the deviation from true measurements Due to the fact has not been effectively addressed by the researcher. The researcher understood into account the se weakness and tried to Minimize by recording her own conclusion. Secondary, the instrument was pre-tested to help have the same results every time. Was considered to be reliability of Questionnaires pre-testing method were subjected on the respondent that was not partof the consistency of determine the consistency of results.

3.7 Data Analysis  Data analyzed was collect and analyzed qualitatively. The researcher collected and analyzed data by use of descriptive statistical method and findings that were presented in the form of frequency distribution tables.
