29 social workers in total and were all presented with the questionnaire between June and
July 2007 for information.

analyzed using frequency distribution tables and percentages. The study revealed that poor
psychological contract adversely affects the levels of job satisfaction and commitment of
employees in Nairobi East.

promotions, good working conditions, remuneration, and supervision. It was clear that
dissatisfied employees proportionately demonstrate low levels of organizational
commitment, which translates into high turnover, absenteeism and increased wastes in
resources and time.
