global workplace is rapidly evolving due to technological advancements, economic expansion, and unprecedented events, leading to increased concerns about employee turnover in multinational corporations (MNCs). This study examined the impact of age, gender, and ethnic diversity on employee retention intention within manufacturing-based MNCs in Kenya, aiming to address gaps in existing research and provide insights for enhancing retention strategies. The primary objectives included examining the age diversity's effects on staff retention intention within multinational corporations in Kenya, examining the impact of ethnic diversity on employee retention intention among multinational firms in Kenya, as well as the role of gender diversity on employee retention intention in these corporations. Sample survey research design was the type of research design used. The study's population consisted of 38 manufacturing-based MNCs in Kenya. The research distributed questionnaires and the analysis used descriptive and multiple regression This study was guided by the Reasoned Action Theory and the Social Identity Theory. One hundred and seventy workers were given questionnaires for the survey, and SPSS version 22 was used to do multiple regression analysis. The overall significance of the regression model was determined, as anticipated. Findings revealed positive perceptions of age diversity, with significant correlations between age diversity and retention intention, emphasizing the importance of inclusive practices for retaining employees. Similarly, positive perceptions of gender diversity and its strong correlation with retention intention highlight the need for gender-inclusive policies and decision-making processes. Ethnic diversity also positively influences retention intention, despite challenges related to cultural conflicts and disparities in career opportunities based on ethnicity. Effective diversity management is crucial for enhancing employee retention within multinationalcorporations in Kenya. Strategiessuch as ensuring balanced age distribution, promoting gender equality, and addressing cultural conflicts can strengthen retention efforts and contribute to organizational success. The study underscores the importance of fostering inclusive environments that value age, gender, and ethnic diversity for long-term growth and sustainability. Policymakers should develop comprehensive diversity and inclusion programs addressing age and ethnicity disparities, while management should foster gender equality and communication to create inclusive cultures. Continued research on workplace diversity and employee retention is recommended to explore additional insights and strategies for enhancing organizational performance and employee satisfaction.

Employee performance is an important factor that influences the success of organizations in any sector. However, poor employee performance is a key issue in the Kenyan financial services sector. To improve performance, organizations invest significantly in training and developing their employees. In this regard, the current study investigated the effect of retention bonding contracts on the performance of employees in the Kenyan financial services sector. This study was informed by the Social Exchange Theory (SET) and the organizational justice theory (OJT). The philosophy that guided the current research is positivism. The descriptive cross-sectional survey was employed to examine the association between retention bonding and employee performance. The population consisted of 3100 employees working for 93 FinTech companies in Kenya. The sample size comprised of 306 employees selected from FinTech companies. First, the findings revealed that that retention bonding period had a significant positive regression coefficient. Secondly, the results showed that retention bonding amount also had a significant regression coefficient. In addition, the regression coefficient for retention bonding fairness was also significant. The implication of these findings is that improving aspects of retention bonding period, such as duration of retention, flexibility in determining the duration, employee input in determining the duration, and parameters used to determine the duration, can lead to improvements in employee performance in FinTech companies in Kenya. Additionally, these findings suggest that improving aspects of retention bonding amount, such as reasonable bonding amounts, factoring years an employee has worked, penalties, pro-rating the amount and parameters used to determine the amount, can improve the performance of employee in FinTech companies in Kenya. The results also indicate that improving the fairness of retention bonding in terms of reducing its restrictiveness and penalizing language, providing payback options, and clear communication of retention bonding to employees, can help improve the performance of employees in FinTech companies in Kenya.

This multi-faceted approach ensured a thorough investigation of the role of EI in shaping leadership effectiveness. Descriptive and inferential analysis techniques, such as tables and descriptive correlations, were employed. The questionnaires were completed by 196 employees of the Co-operative Bank. The findings indicate a positive relationship between managers' EI and their leadership effectiveness. The study also assessed the EI levels of 44 managers, which were found to be close to the average. However, there were areas where the perception of EI leadership, particularly in self-management, showed a decline. These findings suggest that the bank's leaders need to improve their self-control, take responsibility for their emotions, demonstrate honesty, enhance their listening skills, and provide better support to their subordinates. Additionally, the managers displayed deficiencies in forwardthinking, addressing the emotions and perceptions of their subordinates, and fostering mutually beneficial relationships. The research also revealed weaknesses in conflict management, social interaction, and adherence to expected behavioral standards. On the other hand, leadership effectiveness was associated with strong decision-making skills, effective communication, team cohesion, innovation, and mutual support among employees. However, there were shortcomings in fair evaluation, providing meaningful feedback, and relevant information to employees. The findings underscore the importance of developing emotional intelligence to improve leadership effectiveness. The study concludes that raising awareness of EI, particularly in the area of social awareness, establishing an EI-focused team, and enhancing understanding of subordinates' emotions will contribute to better leadership quality, fair evaluation, and meaningful feedback within the Co-operative Bank of Kenya.

Industrial disharmony is a worldwide phenomenon which affects all professions and all cadres. In Kenya several sectors have been affected by industrial disharmony, but it is quite common in the health sector. It is an almost intractable problem in the Kenyan health sector and almost every year there are strikes by one profession or the other within this sector. The strikes usually affect the secondary and tertiary tiers of healthcare. This qualitative study set out to analyze the cause, effect, and the impact of industrial disharmony/crises on the health sector, the government, and the people of Kenya. A careful scientific search of the literature (both in print and online), newspapers, Government and Labour organization publications on the subject were collated and studied to understand the problem of industrial crises and how to proffer solutions to reduce or eliminate these incessant strikes in the Kenyan health sector. It was demonstrated that the main cause of the disharmony was poor remuneration/delayed or unpaid wages, poor healthcare funding, poor work environment, deficient healthcare infrastructure, inadequate and underfunded training, inter-professional rivalry and non fulfilment of government agreements/commitments. These led to poor job satisfaction, poor healthcare worker attitude, brain drain and loss of public’s confidence in the public health sector. These in turn led to poor health indices which influence the health and strength of the national workforce. Ways to reduce these strikes include improved healthcare funding, better training opportunities, collaboration/dialogue amongst the various professions in the health sector and firm commitment of government to fulfill past agreements and commitments willingly entered. Collective bargaining is a tool to be effectively used to carry workers along and get the best for them.
