ABSTRACT

The study focused on the effect of green procurement practices on performance in manufacturing sector in Kenya with a bias on Del Monte Company Limited. The specific objectives were; to determine the effect of Supplier Assessment on Performance in manufacturing sector in Kenya; to examine the effect of eco-design practices on performance in the manufacturing sector in Kenya; to examine the effect of Reverse logistics practices on performance in the manufacturing sector in Kenya and finally, to assess the effect of e-procurement practices on performance in the manufacturing sector in Kenya. The underpinning theories of the study were; Stakeholder theory, System theory, Legitimacy theory, and Institutional theory. The study adopted a descriptive research design for a thorough study of the earmarked research objectives. The study targeted a research population of 243 company employees where a sample of 73 employees was used in collecting data and eventual analysis. A census method was then employed on all the sample respondents to ensure each and every targeted member in the sample size had his/her views captured. Data was collected using the questionnaire covering all the study objectives. The sample size comprised of senior managers (15), Middle-level managers (28) and procurement staffs (30). Collected data was analyzed and interpreted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 24 where relevant statistical tables were extracted for analysis and interpretation using multiple regression, correlation and ANOVA for purposes of determining the relationships between the variables. The findings of the study revealed a statistically significant effect of the specific variables on the dependent variable. The study employed the F-test in predicting the dependent variable where F=9.70 >.05 significance level which indicated that the model significantly predicted how the independent variables affect the dependent variable (Performance of manufacturing sector in Kenya) with Supplier Assessment Practice explaining 41.2% (t~3.072)of performance in the manufacturing sector, Eco-design Practice 54.5% (at t~3.781), Reverse Logistics Practice 37.3% at (t~3.006) and e-Procurement Practice 51% at (t~3.425) of Performance in the Manufacturing sector in Kenya (Del Monte Company Limited). The study was important and significant to the manufacturing sector in Kenya and the region since it contributed to the knowledge on green procurement which is key to environmental preservation and proper performance.
