Abstract

Green Talent Workforce Planning on employee job performance in Kenyan public hospitals using a mixed-methods cross-sectional survey of 345 healthcare professionals. Structural equation modeling revealed a strong positive relationship between GTWP and performance (β = 0.385, p<0.001), with the model explaining 84.5% of performance variance and leadership support emerging as a critical moderator (β = 0.364, p<0.001); qualitative themes converged with these quantitative findings, highlighting benefits in competency development, resource management, team dynamics, career satisfaction, and organizational transformation. The study, grounded in Green HRM, Transformational Leadership, and Human Capital theories, concluded systematic implementation of GTWP strategies with robust leadership support to maximize employee performance and sustainability outcomes, providing recommendations spanning policy, practice, and future research to advance green talent
management in healthcare.
