INFLUENCE OF GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON PROCUREMENT PERFORMANCE OF PRIVATE HEALTH INSTITUTIONS IN KENYA: A CASE OF AGA KHAN HOSPITAL KISUMU
Abstract
This study sought to investigate influence of green supply chain management practices on procurement performance of Aga Khan Hospital, Kisumu. Specific objective for this study were to determine the influence of Eco-design, green procurement, reverse logistics on procurement performance of Aga Khan Hospital, Kisumu. The study adopted the descriptive research design. Target population for this study was 95 from where Yamame’s formula was used to get 77 respondents which consisted of procurement officers, operations staff and marketing staff. Stratified random sampling was used to select respondents. The study used questionnaire to collect primary data. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data which was computed by use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 24.0). Multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis were used to measure the relationship between independent and dependent variable. A total of 71 out of the sampled 77 respondents returned dully filled questionnaires which showed a response rate of 92.2% which was excellent for generalizability of research findings to a wider population. Both descriptive and inferential statistics indicated that all conceptualized independent variables significantly influenced procurement performance in Aga Khan Hospital, Kisumu. The study concluded that one; vendor eco design significantly influences procurement performance, thus effective eco designing can improve procurement performance of firms that practice it; two; green sourcing is a significant predictor of procurement performance, thus private health institutions that embrace green sourcing can experience a significant boost on their procurement performance. The study recommended that one; private health institutions should embrace supply of eco designs of procured products which are environmental friendly, and two, private health institutions should foster green sourcing practices so as to ensure waste reduction and provide environmentally friendly products.
Key Words: Eco-Design, Green Procurement, Reverse Logistics, Procurement Performance
