dc.description.abstractIn marriage, satisfaction is a key ingredient that has become the hallmark and aspirations of every couple. However, the contemporary job market has put so much pressure in family life that the idea of marital satisfaction remains elusive for many. This study sought to assess the level of marital relationship satisfaction, to determine the level of job performance and to establish the relationship between the level of marital satisfaction and the level of job performance of married employees at the National Registration Bureau, Nairobi County, Kenya. The study sample included 195 subjects (107 males and 88 female) who were selected through simple random technique. The study used correlational research design. Self-administered questionnaires, which included Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI) (2007) and Individual Work Performance (IWP) (2015), were used in the study. Inferential statistics and Pearson Correlation were used to analyze data. With regards to the socio demographic characteristics, respondents age (p=.007), job group (p=.023), duration of marriage (p=.003) and working experience (p=.027) were found to have significant relationship with level of marital satisfaction. Likewise, gender (p=.652), job group (p=.049) and duration of marriage (p=.50) had a significant relationship with the level of job performance. Regression analysis revealed that respondents with relationship dissatisfaction are 8 times more likely to exhibit counterproductive work behavior (AOR: 7.671, p=0.005) whereas respondents with marital dissatisfaction are 6 times likely to be contextual performers (AOR: 6.35, p=0.002). Pearson correlation on socio-demographic, level of marital satisfaction and level of job performance revealed significant relationship between age and duration of marriage, age and working experience and marriage and working experience. However, there was a negative correlation between education and job group, job group and marital satisfaction, age and job group, duration of marriage and job group. There was also a negative correlation between Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI) and Individual Work Performance (IWP) at 2 tailed level (r= .186, p=.01). The study recommends that governments should create awareness on family issues in work places with a view of developing appropriate family and marriage policies and strategies that would benefit both the employee and the employer.en_US
