Abstract:
This study sought to find out the relationship between Formal Continuous Professional Development
(CPD) and Job satisfaction among Clinical officers in Nairobi County with respect to: Pay,
Promotion, and Relationship with Co-workers, Supervision and Working Conditions. A descriptive
cross-sectional study was conducted involving 113 Clinical Officers. A self-administered structured
questionnaire was designed using a 5-point Likert response format ranging from strongly disagree,
disagree, neutral, agree and strongly agree to determine various levels and factors of job satisfaction
that relate to the five (5) attributes: Pay, Promotion, Relation with Co-workers, Supervision and
Working Conditions. The overall job satisfaction was higher in the group that had undergone formal
CPD. The study however, demonstrated that there was no strong association between formal CPD
and any of the five (5) domains. There is a need to relook into factors that contribute to
dissatisfaction and those that increase levels of satisfaction at the workplace.
