A lot of studies have been done on job satisfaction but none has been
done on the impact of career development on job satisfaction The
primary purpose of this project is to establish whether career
development opportunities have an impact on the levels of job
satisfaction of employees.
The population of interest in the study consisted of management staff
in commercial banks in Nairobi. Oata was collected using a survey
questionnaire. From the list of 43 banks a sample of 50 employees
from 12 banks was used. 47 questionnaires were filled and returned.
The drop and pick method was used to collect the questionnaires. The
response rate was 94%. The data was ana lysed using descriptive
statistics, correlation and regression analysis. The research revealed
that all the employees were satisfied with their jobs and had the skills
and knowledge to do their work all the respondents had at least a
diploma .It was also evident that employees were satisfied with the
career opportunities given to them by their organizations This means
commercial banks are doing all they can to provide various forms of
development opportunities to their employees and consequently satisfy
their employees. And for them to achieve maximum results they need
to do carry out a salary survey to determine and correct the anomalies
that exist to avoid turnover of the employees they have developed.
