ABSTRACT
This study examined the influence of employee’s commitment on Organization performance using Nestle Nigeria Plc as the case study. Organizations have realized that the commitment and performance of their workers plays a vital role in determining the success of the organization.
A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. A supportive sampling was equally employed to select a sample size of two hundred fifty (250) respondents. Two hypothesis were tested at 0.05 level of significance using descriptive influential statistics of chi-square.
The findings show that Employees’ commitment enhances organization performances in every industrial sector and that no organization can survive the competitive business environment without loyal and committed workers who are ready to go all the ways to ensure that corporate goals and objectives are achieved. Based on the findings and conclusions drawn, it was recommended that management should take the issue of commitment seriously as workers who feel dissatisfy will see no reason to give his or her everything to the organization. Hence, management should seek ways through which workers can voice out their needs and aspiration in the organization.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
Organizations have realized that the performance of their workers plays a vital role in determining the success of the organization (Zheng et al, 2010, Ajila and Awonusi, 2004). As such, it is important for employers and managers alike to know how to get the best of their workers. One of the determinants of workers performance has been linked with employee’s commitment (Ali, 2010, Dex and Smith, 2001).
Akintayo (2010) and Sigye (2010) noted that one of the reasons why commitment has attracted research attention is that commitment is used to maintain competitive advantage and achieve superior performance. Committed employees who are highly motivated do contribute their time and energy to the pursuit of organizational goals and are increasingly acknowledged to be the primary asset available to an organization (Hunjra, 2010). Furthermore, an employee who shares a commitment to the organization and the collective well beings are more suitable to generate this social capital that facilitates organizational learning.
