| dc.description.abstract | This study examined the impact of green practices on organizational performance at the National Medical Stores (NMS) in Uganda. The main objective was to assess how environmentally sustainable practices influence organizational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and service delivery. Specifically, the study analyzed the relationship between green practices and performance, identified challenges affecting their adoption, and proposed strategies to enhance their implementation. The research was driven by the need to determine whether sustainability initiatives lead to measurable improvements in performance within a public healthcare supply chain context. The study employed a mixed-methods case study design, combining both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data was collected through structured questionnaires administered to 67 employees selected using purposive sampling, with the sample size determined using Taro Yamane’s formula. Qualitative data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with key informants. Data sources included both primary and secondary materials such as organizational reports and documents. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative findings were used to support and explain the numerical results. The findings indicated that green practices at NMS are moderately implemented, particularly in green procurement, waste management, energy efficiency, and eco-friendly packaging. These practices were found to have a positive impact on organizational performance, contributing to cost reduction, improved efficiency, better resource utilization, enhanced organizational reputation, and compliance with regulations. However, key challenges include limited awareness, inadequate funding, insufficient training, resistance to change, and weak supplier support. The study concludes that while green practices significantly improve performance, their success depends on consistent implementation and strong institutional support. It recommends enhancing staff training, increasing investment in sustainable technologies, strengthening policy frameworks, to maximize the benefits of green practices. | |
