GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT OF BUNGOMA
Abstract
The study investigated effect of green supply chain management/practices on organization performance of County Government of Bungoma. The study used a causal research approach to investigate cause-effect correlations. The study targeted 107 respondents comprising of Procurement Officers, Transport and Logistics Officers, Finance Manager, Operation Manager, and Warehouse/Storage officers who usually play a key role in supply chain operations. From each stratum the study used simple random sampling to select 84 respondents from a target of 107. Primary data was collected using a well-designed questionnaire. Piloting was conducted to determine validity via content and construct validity as well as reliability using Cronbach alpha. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive analysis summarized data in form of central tendency as well as dispersion and inferential analysis will be used to test hypothesis. Descriptive analysis included; frequencies, Mean, Standard deviation and percentage while inferential analysis involved correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. Prior to conducting multiple linear regressions, the study ensured that the assumptions of linear regression were met. The data was presented in form of tables and models. The study established that green distribution, green purchasing, reverse logistics, and green production significantly influence organizational performance in Bungoma County. Green production showed the highest impact, followed by reverse logistics, green purchasing, and green distribution. All four components were statistically significant predictors of performance, leading to the rejection of all null hypotheses. The study concluded that implementing green supply chain practices significantly enhances organizational performance. Green production emerged as the most influential, highlighting the importance of sustainability in public sector procurement efficiency. The County Government should intensify investments in green production and reverse logistics, reinforce green purchasing by embedding sustainability in procurement criteria, and expand green distribution practices. Continuous staff training, use of clean technologies, and systematic performance monitoring will ensure sustainable procurement performance aligned with environmental goals and operational efficiency.
