Creating such conditions are described as psychological, material, and/or social supports that trigger, enable, and sustain creative thinking in others. The study sought to establish the effect of mentorship creative leadership practice on performance of mission hospitals in Kenya and to establish the moderating effect of perceived organizational support on the effect of mentorship creative leadership practice on performance of mission hospitals in Kenya. Methodology: The cross-sectional survey design was used as the study design with the positivist philosophy also being adopted. The sample populations comprised 285 Mission hospital staff at middle or lower levels of employment selected through census. Questionnaire was the main data collection instruments. This was tested for validity and reliability before being used for the study. Collected data was analyzed quantitatively using SPSS 24 th version software and was presented in the form of descriptive and inferential results. Descriptive statistics involved percentages, means and means of Standard deviations while inferential involved linear regression analysis. The study results were presented through use of tables and figures Findings: The findings of the study underscore the substantial influence of effective mentorship in enhancing both individual and organizational performance in the context of Mission hospitals in Kenya. The strong agreement among respondents on the various aspects of mentorship, combined with the significant statistical correlation between mentorship and improved hospital performance, underscores the value of investing in robust mentorship programs. Perceived organizational support moderates the effect of mentorship on performance of Mission hospitals in Kenya. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was grounded on servant leadership theory and Transactional Leadership Theory. The study recommends that healthcare institutions prioritize the development and enhancement of mentorship programs. These programs should focus on leadership development, skill acquisition, and professional growth, tailored to the diverse needs of individual employees. From the study, Mentorship could explain upto 63.1% of the performance of mission hospitals in Kenya. This study therefore recommends further study on other factors affecting performance of mission hospitals in Kenya.

Specifically, training needs assessment about diversity issues and exposing employees to diversity training programs had a significant influence on employee commitment. These findings suggest that commercial banks in Kenya value diversity training, although they should always prioritize diversity training needs assessments of diverse employees prior to their exposure to the training programs. Further, more research is required to specifically focus on the long-term effect of diversity training on HR outcomes in other sectors in Kenya.

However, there is scanty empirical investigation on the moderating influence of organizational support on the relationship between diversity reward and employee commitment. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the moderating influence of organizational support on the relationship between diversity reward and employee commitment in commercial banks in Kenya. A target sample of 384 respondents drawn from a sampling comprising top, supervisory, and lower cadre employees was obtained using stratified and simple random sampling techniques. From each stratum, a proportionate allocation was used to select a representative sample and the data collected by use of questionnaires. Data was analysed using descriptive, correlation and linear, hierarchical and step wise regression statistics. Findings of the study indicated that both diversity reward and organization support have a positive and significant influence on employee commitment. Furthermore, the findings also revealed that organizational support has a positive and significant moderating influence on the relationship between diversity reward and employee commitment. These findings suggest and recommend that more emphasis should focus on the need for organizations to help their employees accomplish their tasks as they get to grow professionally and become more committed to the organization.
