Employee’s Involvement in Decision Making and Organisational Performance: A Study of some Selected Banks in Nigeria.

Abstract

The focus of this study was on employee’s involvement in decision making and organisational performance using some selected banks in Nigeria as a unit of analysis. The study identified the outcome of employee’s involvement in decision making and commitment with reference to organisational performance as well as relationship between employee involvement and organisational performance. A sample of 200 respondents in the commercial banks from Zenith Bank, Skye Bank, First Bank, First City Monument Bank and Sterling Bank were chosen through convenience sampling method and random sampling method was also used in the administration of the questionnaire to elicit response. It was found that employee’s involvement in decision
making has a relationship with organisational performance but it was relatively low and it was concluded that management should facilitate employee’s involvement in decision making in order to take advantage of job satisfaction and commitment from employees. Recommendations were made to enhance organisational performance: organisation should be encouraged to adopt
employee involvement programs in order to enhance performance, growth and competitiveness.
