The data were collected using structured questionnaire with five-point likert scale, targeting 151 managers, officers, and department heads from both life and non-life insurance sectors from Rupendehi district. The correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between variables and Stepwise regression analysis to explore the effect.
Results: It reveals that RA, RM and RMG had significant positive effect on institutional performance at individual level. When they are analyzed in single model RA and RM were only found significant.
