EFFECT OF CIRCULAR PROCUREMENT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF MANUFACTURING FIRMS IN KENYA
Abstract
The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of circular procurement on performance of Kenyan manufacturing firms. Theories used in this study were Resource Dependency and Industrial Symbiosis. Data was collected by the use of a questionnaire in the Likert Type Scale format. The target population included all the manufacturing firms registered by Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM). Stratified random sampling was used to ensure a representative sample from each industry, and the appropriate sample size was calculated using Cochran's formula. The hypothesis in this study was tested to determine the P-value. Data was analyzed by use of SPSS (V.20) while presentations were done by use of tables and graphs. The study found out that circular procurement has a significant effect on the performance of manufacturing firms in Kenya.
Key Words: Circular Procurement, Circular Supply Chain
