ABSTRACT
This study aims examines the impact of green procurement practices on organizational performance in county governments in Kenya. Green procurement, also known as sustainable procurement or environmentally responsible procurement, involves incorporating environmental considerations into the procurement process to minimize negative environmental impacts and promote sustainability. The study investigates how green procurement practices are adopted and implemented in county governments in Kenya and evaluates their effects on organizational performance. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, including a review of relevant literature and an empirical study involving data collection from county government officials responsible for procurement. The study concludes that green procurement policy initiatives have a positive impact on the procurement performance of the county sampled for the study. This study investigated green procurement-related theories, including institutional theory, resource-based theory, and legitimacy theory. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were utilized in the study. Quantitative data collected for the study will be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Using a standardized questionnaire, primary data were collected. The findings reveal that green procurement practices in county governments in Kenya are still in the early stages of adoption, with challenges related to awareness, capacity, and enforcement. However, the study identifies several positive impacts of green procurement practices on organizational performance, including cost savings through energy and resource efficiency, improved supplier relationships, enhanced organizational reputation, and compliance with environmental regulations. The results suggest that despite the challenges, green procurement practices can positively influence organizational performance in county governments in Kenya. The study recommends the need for increased awareness and capacity building, as well as policy support and enforcement, to promote wider adoption and implementation of green procurement practices in county governments. The findings contribute to the understanding of green procurement practices in the African context and provide insights for policymakers and practitioners to enhance organizational performance through sustainable procurement practices.
