INFLUENCE OF GREEN PROCUREMENT TRAINING ON ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE ON STAR RATED HOTELS IN KISUMU CITY
Abstract
Increased demand on energy supply, an increased burden on solid waste management and the pollution of water bodies, soil and air are among the high level of negative environmental effects in the hospitality sector of the tourism industry. In Kisumu City, hotels operate twenty four hours a day and seven days in a week round the year generating larger quantities of solid and liquid waste, consuming a lot of water and energy. Green Procurement is one of the emerging issues in procurement. It entails taking social and environmental factors into consideration alongside financial factors in making procurement decisions. Green procurement involves looking beyond the traditional economic parameters and making decisions based on the whole life cost, the associated risks, measures of success and implications on society and the environment. This study sought to examine influence of green procurement training on organization performance on star rated hotels in Kisumu City. The study adopted descriptive survey design. The study targeted 95 respondents from 17 star rated hotels in Kisumu City. Census sampling was used to consider the whole population. Data was collected using structured questionnaire administered through drop and pick method. Validity was achieved through content validity while reliability was achieved through Cronbach alpha. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used during data analysis with aid of SPSS version 21. The results were presented in tables and models. Results indicated that green procurement training has significant positive influence on organization performance. The study recommended that hotels should recruit professional environmentalists to guide the organization on green awareness.
