Resumen

Public sector workplaces in Kenya are under increasing pressure due to rapid urbanization, economic challenges, and demographic changes. A mixed-methods approach combining surveys with focus group discussions was employed across three Kenyan cities. Employees reported higher levels of job insecurity (45%) compared to other sources of stress like financial strain (20%). Public sector employees in Kenya face significant challenges, particularly related to job security and workload management. Implementing flexible work arrangements and mental health support programmes could improve employee well-being and productivity.
