Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between employee involvement practices and organizational commitment of event and recreational firms in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. Specifically, it examines the connections between teamwork and affective commitment, as well as joint consultation and affective commitment. Employing a cross-sectional survey design, the research targeted 254 employees across nine firms, utilizing SPSS version 25 for data analysis. Inferential statistical techniques, including the Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient, were applied to evaluate hypotheses and assess data validity. Findings indicate significant correlations between various employee participation practices and measures of organizational commitment, underscoring the importance of employee engagement in fostering commitment. The study concludes that management should prioritize involving employees in decision-making processes, as this approach not only recognizes employees as key contributors but also enhances organizational development and loyalty. Recommendations emphasize the gradual implementation of employee involvement strategies to build trust and improve commitment levels among staff in the event and recreational industry.
