Influence of Lean-Green Practices on The Relationship Networks and Performance of Medium Hotels in the Kenyan Cities
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 uilized 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
Moderating influence of lean-green practices on the relationship between capital mobilization and performance of medium hotels in the Kenyan cities
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of capital mobilization on the operational outcomes of medium-sized hotels located in urban areas of Kenya. The research was grounded in the framework of dynamic capability theory. The study employed a pragmatic research paradigm that utilized mixed methodologies and employed a contemporaneous triangulation research methodology. The sample consisted of 534 medium-sized hotels. The researchers employed a stratified random sampling methodology to ascertain a sample size of 229 hotels. The research was grounded in the theoretical framework of the natural resource-based perspective. In order to examine the goal hypothesis, the researchers calculated the beta coefficient and conducted a t-test to assess the association between capital mobilization and the performance of medium hotels in Kenya. The significance level for this test was set at 5%. The null hypothesis was rejected based on the statistically significant estimated beta value (0.698, p = 0.000), indicating a confirmed substantial association between capital mobilization and the performance of medium hotels in urban areas of Kenya. The performance of a firm is influenced by the amalgamation of employees' knowledge and abilities, which are integrated through various processes and procedures. This integration not only shapes the structure of the organization but also facilitates the generation of value. The study suggests that it would be beneficial to focus on implementing lean-green practices during capital growth, as these practices have been shown to align with improved performance. Additionally, it is recommended to place greater emphasis on incorporating the concept of 5S into entrepreneurship courses at all levels of education

Entrepreneurial Mindset, Lean-Green practices and firm performance among medium hotels in Kenyan cities
Firms are driven to maximize profits, requiring specialized techniques to improve performance. Firms can handle chaotic conditions by acting strategically. Global studies show high early-stage SME death rates. Hospitality studies have not examined how lean-green methods boost performance and competitiveness. Lean-green methods affect the entrepreneurial spirit and performance of medium-sized hotels in Kenyan cities. The paper relies on discovery and dynamic capability theory. The article used mixed-methods, concurrent triangulation, and pragmatic philosophy. 534 medium hotel managers in Mombasa, Nairobi, and Kisumu were studied, and 229 were sampled using stratified random sampling. Data was collected by questionnaire and saved in MS Excel for case-variable screening and cleaning. SPSS 22 was used for data analysis. Pearson's correlation and regression models analyzed quantitative data. In Kenyan cities, entrepreneurial attitude positively affects medium hotel performance (=.775, t = 17.499, p.05). Lean-green synergy positively impacted performance (? =.527, t = 12.497, p ?.05) and moderated the connection between entrepreneurial mentality and business performance. The study found that lean-green techniques boost performance. Lean-green production strategies are recommended by the study. These findings benefit hotel entrepreneurs, managers, academia, and legislators. The study proposes studying other industries besides hospitality to see whether comparable findings are found
