Influence of Lean-Green Practices on The Relationship Networks and Performance of Medium Hotels in the Kenyan Cities

Abstract

Purpose: Examine the influence of lean-green practices on the relationship between networks and performance of medium hotels in the Kenyan cities. Design/methodology/approach: The study was anchored on dynamic capability theory. Pragmatic research paradigm employing mixed method was applied which utilized concurrent triangulation research design. The target population was 534 medium hotels. Stratified random sampling technique was used to determine a sample size of 229 hotels. Findings: The study found that networks positively influenced performance of medium hotels in Kenyan cities and lean-green practices positively and significantly influences on the relationship between networks and performance of medium hotels in Kenyan cities. Designing, implementing and utilizing lean-green practices in collaboration with networking in medium hotels is important in production matrix. Research limitations/implications: Focus was on medium hotels in the Kenyan cities. Practical implications: Results of this research shows that lean-green practices constitute one of the most important strategies resulting in performance. Originality/value: This research is original because the research was conducted in Kenya and there is no other similar research in Kenya.
