| dc.description.abstract | Employee retention is crucial for organisational success, particularly in Kenya’s
Export Processing Zones (EPZs), where turnover rates are higher than the
acceptable 10% or below. High turnover rates in the EPZs are often associated
with poor working conditions that could be detrimental to employee well-being.
Implementation of green reward practices could improve these working
conditions by creating a healthy and sustainable work environment. This study
examined the effect of green reward management practices on employee
retention in the Athi River EPZ. The study was anchored on Social Exchange
Theory and adopted a descriptive research design. The study had a target
population of 56 EPZs with 20,000 employees as the unit of observation.
Cochran’s formula was used to obtain a sample size of 377 respondents.
Stratified random sampling was used to distribute the sample across departments
in the EPZs. Data was collected using a structured five-point Likert scale
questionnaire. A pilot study involving 30 participants was conducted to measure
the reliability of the research instrument. Descriptive statistics in means,
percentages, and standard deviation were employed, while correlation and
regression analysis were applied for inferential statistics. The study found that
green reward management practices have a positive and statistically significant
effect on employee retention (β = 0.435, p < 0.001). The study recommends
integrating green reward management practices to improve employee retention
in workplaces. | en_US |
