The research was conducted in the five selected Public Universities in Western Kenya which had a population of 8114 permanent and pensionable staff. A sample size of 381 respondents was sampled. The researcher used ANOVA and regression coefficients to analyze the data. T he findings showed that a one-unit improvement in coaching would eventually improve employee productivity by 0.699 units in public universities in Western Kenya. Coaching was established to have a significant effect on employee productivity in Public Universities in Western Kenya (β=.699; p=.000≤.05). These findings would be used by employers to manage the available talents in public universities. It would also guide government on formulating policies on coaching and employee productivity.
