organization as well as on the people who make these decisions. Organizations are made up of people men
and women the employees who carry out assigned functions for the smooth functioning of the
organization. The corporate output and performance of the organization are therefore the collective
responsibility of those people that are working in the organization (Akpala, 2007).This paper assessed the
effect employees' participations in decision making have on organizational performance, with Guinness
Nigeria Plc Ikeja as the case study.Various literatures were reviewed in search of secondary data while
structured related questions were administered to 200 randomly selected workers of Guinness Nigeria plc.

there is significance relationship between workers participation in decision making and organizational
performance. Recommendations were that trust should be built by management during hiring, effective
communication, training on employee participation, ability and knowledge skills should be encouraged as
well as employee motivation.
