Abstract: A workplace where people get along well will be more productive, with fewer complaints. Positive managing workplace programs leads to dedicate and healthier performing employees who promote demographic interactions and appreciation of cultures. There have been concerns about the workplace interpersonal conflicts and other institutional conflicts in devolved governments within the new constitutional dispensation. The objective of the study was to determine the influence of negotiation as a strategic leadership initiative on workplace harmony in Kakamega County, Kenya. The theory underpinning this study was strategic choice theory. Stratified random and purposive sampling techniques were used to select a sample size of 98 respondents. Questionnaires were used for data collection. Data analysis was done using descriptive methods and inferential statistical methods. The study concluded that negotiation influences the workplace harmony in the County of Kakamega, Kenya. The study found that negotiation influences workplace harmony in the County Government of Kakamega as negotiation is positively correlated with workplace harmony. The study thus recommends that the County Government of Kakamega prioritizes on industrial relations, ensures that all disputes are negotiated successfully, and puts mechanisms in place to make negotiation strategy integrative enough to enable creation of a win – win situation at all times.
