Analysis of the Impact of Green Training and Development Practices on Employee Performance in Western Kenya Public Universities
Abstract
This study examines the impact of green training and development practices on employee performance in public universities in Western Kenya. The rapid growth of universities in Kenya has put pressure on these institutions to embrace sustainability practices. However, the role of green human resource management practices, particularly green training, on employee performance in Kenyan public universities remains relatively unexplored. The study adopted a positivist philosophy and an explanatory research design. The target population was 438 employees in top and middle level management from 11 public universities in Western Kenya, out of which a sample of 209 respondents was selected using cluster, stratified and simple random sampling techniques. Data was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using inferential statistics of correlation and multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that green training practices have a significant positive effect on employee performance, accounting for 9.4% of the variation. Green training enhances employees' knowledge, competencies and skills which in turn improves their performance. The regression model was statistically significant at p=0.05 level. The study recommends that universities should prioritize and invest in green training by increasing budgetary allocations for staff capacity building programs on environmental conservation. This will equip employees with the necessary knowledge and skills to contribute effectively to environmental sustainability while enhancing their performance and productivity. The study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on green human resource management and provides practical insights for university management in Kenya to promote sustainable practices through employee training and development.
