The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of flexible work arrangements strategy on job satisfaction among state corporations in Kenya. The greatest challenge facing organisations is whether their staffs are motivated to perform their duties and whether employees find their work interesting and meaningful. The ways jobs are designed has an important bearing on an employee’s job satisfaction. Understanding job design techniques and their influence on job satisfaction will lead organisations to keep the best employee pool for themselves and fend off competition. This study was based on several theories, namely: Job Characteristics model, Hertzberg's two-factor Hygiene theory, Clayton Alderfer’s ERG theory, equity theory, family-boarder theory, and boundary theory. The research design for this study was a cross-sectional descriptive design. This research sought to interrogate the extent to which the state corporations employ flexible work arrangements and its influence on job satisfaction and suggest possible areas of improvement. The target population was 187 state corporations. The unit of analysis was employees of the state corporations in Kenya. The research studied a sample size of 381 employees in 127 state corporations. The state corporations in Kenya were selected using stratified sampling, while employees were purposively selected. To obtain the data, semi-structured questionnaires were used in this research. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of the SPSS package. The findings of this study show that a flexible work arrangement is a significant strategy in enhancing job satisfaction among state corporations in Kenya.

The of the aim of this study was to compare the influence of advertising through online and offline media channels on consumers' attitude as used by selected commercial banks in Nairobi County, Kenya. A cross-sectional study using a stratified sampling technique was used to sample the respondents from selected three commercial banks in Nairobi County, Kenya (Kenya Commercial Bank, Equity Bank, and Co-operative Bank). A sample size of 384 from three selected banks in Nairobi County was used. The data was then collected using a questionnaire, with questions comprising Likert scale type to measure consumers' attitude. The data was then analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software to determine descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that TV (73.93) was ranked first followed by Google Ads (71.26%) by the consumers from the three selected bank. Offline media channel had highest overall score on consumer awareness (mean = 3.552; CV = 30.91%), liking (mean = 3.491; CV = 31.40%) and action (mean = 3.454; CV = 31.08%) compared to online media channels which had awareness (mean = 3.02; CV = 38.16%), liking (mean = 2.913; CV = 41.86%) and action (mean = 2.881; CV = 39.65%). Correlation analysis indicates that there was a strong and positive correlation between offline channels and consumers' attitude compared to online media channels. In addition, strong, positive and statistically significant relationship between use of TV and consumer awareness(r = 0.799, P = 0.000), liking (r = 0.898, P = 0.000) and consumer action tendency (r = 0.718, P = 0.000). Regression analysis revealed that offline media channels significantly influence (F = 3.994; P = 0.0131) consumer attitudes compared to online media channels (F = 2.551; P = 0.0341) when accessing bank advertisement. Age had no significant moderating effect on offline media channels 78.5 % (R 2 = 0.559) and consumer attitudes whereas online media channel 55.9 % (R 2 = 0.559). In conclusion, this study has demonstrated that advertising through offline media channel by the selected bank significantly influence consumer attitudes and age plays no significant moderating effect on consumer attitude and media channels.

The paper sought to examine the effect of work scheduling on employee performance in private hospitals in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya. A survey research design approach was adopted. The study population consisted of all the licensed private hospitals in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya. However, Out of the total 2,298 permanent employees of 31 private hospitals, a sample of 341 was selected based on Yamane (1967) procedure. A self-administered questionnaire was adopted for data collection. Data were then analysed through descriptive and inferential statistics. The hypotheses were tested through the entry regression analysis technique. Evidence obtained from the analysis confirmed a positive effect of a strong statistically significant positive relationship between work scheduling and employee performance in selected private hospitals in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya (p = .001, b = 0.578, t = 22.416, p < .01). This study concludes that hospitals that practice work scheduling and prioritisation as part of time management practice enhance employee performance, specifically private Hospitals in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya. The ministry of health should develop specific policies that incorporate time management practices to enhance employees’ performance in hospitals. Based on the findings, the study recommends that private hospitals consider work schedules to enhance employee and overall organisation performance. Thus, the study contributes to the inconclusive debate on time management practices as nexus as a strategic resource for employee performance.
