dc.description.abstract | This study concentrated on the effects of corporate restructuring on employee Job
satisfaction at KCB Limited. The process of corporate restructuring faces many
challenges leading to most organizations failing to successfully implement it. The
objective of this study is to assess the effects of corporate restructuring on employee Jobsatisfaction at KCB Limited.
The data was collected from KCB staff in Nairobi region using both open-ended and
closed-ended questionnaires. The questionnaires were both self- administered and
through email. The findings of the study were analyzed and presented in tables containing frequencies, means, percentages and standard deviations
The findings imply that there is a significant relationship between restructuring and
increased work load, the assumption may be made that restructuring reduces the work
force and it is highly probable that the remaining employees had to make up for work that had been done by retrenched employees. Flatter organizational structure resulted into improved communication hence speeds up and increases the effectiveness of the
communication channels between management and their subordinates.
In Conclusion, this study has shown that if work satisfaction and trust in the organization
continued to be depressed well beyond the end of the restructuring, the productivity of
the organization could be in serious danger. The organization must therefore align its
interests with those of management; all staff must also be involved and committed to
bring about genuine and lasting improvements in the organization. | en |
