    (2025-06-01) Ndunge, Angela (Dr); Ogutu, Benson Wandera(Dr.); Ngoye, Ben (Dr.); Oluoch-Aridi, Jackline (Dr.); Njaramba, Faith Njambi (Dr.); Syallow, Anne Maureen (Dr.); Njoroge, Mukami (Dr.); Bett, Harry Kipkemoi (Dr.)
    This study examines the influence of organisational culture, leadership roles, and prevailing challenges on women’s career progression at Esibhedlela Community Hospital. The study expands upon previous research conducted by Strathmore University Business School and the Kenya Healthcare Federation, focusing on the distinct gender dynamics at Esibhedlela Community Hospital. The research employs a qualitative methodology, incorporating focus group discussions and key informant interviews, to identify substantial obstacles to gender equity, including short-term contracts, insufficient organised training, and inadequate support for work-life balance. Research indicates a necessity for policies and leadership development that primarily target the distinct issues encountered by women. The Competing Values Framework is employed to examine the hospital’s cultural dynamics and to provide measures for cultivating an inclusive and supportive environment. The study aims to inform specific actions that promote gender parity and facilitate women’s advancement to leadership positions in the healthcare sector.
