Recently, supermarkets in Kenya have been facing a significant decline in presence (Mbatia & Wanjiku, 2020, and Sande, 2022, Cytonn, 2022, Cheboi & Mulili, 2022). The major reasons for this are staff retention and weak structures (RETRAK, 2020). Since organization structure is one of key determinants of performance of retail supermarkets in Kenya (Wanjohi et. al, 2019), and they significantly contribute to the retail sector, it is imperative to determine how their structure influences employee job satisfaction (Ogbo, 2015, and Madanchian et. al, 2016). It is also important to discern the leadership traits required to enhance employee retention.
