Employee Wellness Initiatives and Organizational Performance of Selected International Non-governmental Organizations in Nairobi City County, Kenya

The purpose of the research was to determine how employee wellness initiatives impact the organizational performance of specific non-governmental organizations in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study aimed to assess the impact of employee support initiatives such as flexible working arrangements on the performance of selected international non-governmental organizations in Nairobi County, Kenya. It highlighted research gaps by reviewing the theories of social exchange, hierarchy of needs, and social comparison. It also examined the effects of flexible work schedules on organizational performance. A conceptual model illustrated the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. A descriptive research design was used for the investigation. All 147 employees of the selected international non-governmental organizations were included in the target demographic. The study used a census approach rather than sampling because of the small total population. The investigator gave the respondents a standardized questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha and expert opinion were used in pilot research to evaluate the instrument's reliability and validity. The correlation coefficient was computed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) version 24. The outcomes of the quantitative analysis, including tables, frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations, were presented. Pearson's model was used to test for the coherence between the two variables, while the information and findings were presented in figures and tables. The work also observed that the reliability of the research machinery in the study meant the Cronbach Alpha coefficient above 0.7 was considered dependable. The total mean of the descriptive data for flexible work arrangements was 4.0 or higher. The correlation study's findings demonstrated a favorable association between employee wellness initiatives and business success. Regression analysis revealed that flexible work schedules show positive significant values. The study concludes that offering flexible work arrangements is vital for enhancing employee satisfaction and organizational performance in Non-governmental Organizations. The study recommends that future studies should examine how flexible work arrangements evolve within international non-governmental organizations in Nairobi City County.
