Abstract

-The study aimed determining the relationship between training and development and employee job satisfaction in the Judiciary of Kenya. The research used explanatory cross-sectional survey design. The research population consisted of 5,419 judicial officers and staff. Structured questionnaires containing closed-ended questions were sent to all employees via their e-mails. 2,684 employees representing 50% of the population returned filled questionnaires. Statistically this was large enough to render the results permissible and acceptable as a representation of the entire population. This method was preferred because of the large number of subjects, cost, time, and the nature of the topic. The results indicated that training and development has positive correlation with employee satisfaction. Further, training need, training relevance, training work related, and number of trainings are positively correlated to employee satisfaction by 0.705, 0.835, 0.817 and 0.514 respectively. The study shows that training and development could contribute to increase in employee satisfaction.
